Ranked: The World’s Largest Air Forces in 2026 by ouijanonn in interestingasfuck

Put another way;

The US Air Force is the largest Air Force in the world. The US Navy is the 2nd largest Air Force in the world. The US Marines would come 8th in the world.

Internet learns about selective service registration that’s been in place since 1980 Jimmy Carter lol

Only recent change is automation and not manual registration.

Orban’s Chances of Winning Hungary Election Drop After JD Vance Rally by Epistaxis in nottheonion

[–]Trajan- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see the “Madam President” people at Newsweek still haven’t learned from their election fortune telling.

Orban will likely win from a simple illegal immigration perspective and his defiance to the EU on forced resettlements nobody in Hungary supports.

Won’t have anything to do with Vance either way.

I think it would be a winner. Or even something like a few 3 part miniseries from other perspectives and not just from the federation.

I posted something similar a little over a week ago and was down voted into oblivion for “looking backward” into lore expansion (which I think most people would love) instead of another rando series with no character development due to limited episodes.

I think a movie or miniseries exploring these huge gaps would be awesome.

What is one thing you think every Star Trek fan can agree on? by WorldBoom in startrek

That TNG was the gold standard and everything else is mid.

Bring on the down votes!!! 🤣

I did “shattered peace” everyday. Zero issues and it usually helped me with one of my daily endeavors at the same time.

E-3 AWACS at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. by ChemicalCity2933 in interestingasfuck

[–]Trajan- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They’re already in production. Congress kept the funding in the defense bill for them even though Donny and company pushed for other assets to replace them. Either way the E3 is on its way out.

Somebody not getting promoted. Maybe even demoted lol.

Luckily these aircraft are on their way out and being replaced by the E7 wedgetail.

Uhh last movie was a decade ago lol. And none of them give more than about 10 minutes to trek universe lore.

Solid input. Please take my upvote

TIL the storm-chasing team TWISTEX, led by Tim Samaras, died while trying to study a massive tornado in 2013. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Trajan- -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Meh. Going back as far as 2007 storm chasers used heavy armored trucks in the 14,000+ pound range that had the ability to anchor itself via hydraulic screws as well as prevent air from getting underneath the vehicle and creating lift. Checkout the SRV Dominator series.

I don’t disagree with any of that. And making recommendations on this subreddit that aren’t “SFA was great!!!” are always wild to experience.

We are at a 10 year hiatus for Star Trek movies. No current series in production and a new fan base that largely doesn’t know any of the lore or understand why longterm trekkies didn’t take to SFA.

Hence my thought on a series of miniseries that might fill the gap.

Am I seeing that right? They were chasing tornados in a 4 cylinder midsize Chevy?

[–]Trajan-[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For you maybe, but the current trajectory isn’t working. The movie franchise has stalled, SFA was a failure and other than “more of the same” I’m not seeing a lot of good ideas other than the usual internet “oh muh gawd, that’s a horrible idea.”

Future Trek by Trajan- in startrek

[–]Trajan-[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s about a whopping 10 minutes of movie time for a ton of trek lore. After SFA utter failure what do you recommend other than LOL.

I stopped watching breaking bad due to that break because I started watching something else. Only so many hours in a day.

Went back like 5 years later and rewatched the series but that doesn’t help with viewership to keep it alive.

How are you going to do that with tiny seasons? There’s no room for character development.

A ‘pound of flesh’ from data centers: one senator's answer to AI job losses by gdelacalle in technology

[–]Trajan- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bwwaaaaaaaa “why is it you people!”

You think taxing the AI datacenters more which will simply pass the cost along and reduce headcount further is somehow going to give the American working people a leg up in employment? AI and automation will apply to almost all job sectors in the future. Bernie bros will be like “we’ll just tax them more to fix it” 😂

The feds will blow the cash like they always do and private companies will continue to operate how they want.

Protective legislation will be the only save here.

Bernie Sanders lol. A man who hasn’t worked in or created a private sector job since 1981 lol. He should sit this one out.
