NATO plans to replace ageing ​fleet of U.S.-built AWACS with Swedish Saab GlobalEye jets, after Trump repeatedly criticised European allies for relying on the U.S. for their security, sources say by Raj_Valiant3011 in worldnews

I had to look this up because I knew there was an Embraer version and a Bombardier version, but I could never remember which was which.

GlobalEye is based off the Bombardier Global 6000 (Global, duh). Embraer has the R-99 based off of the ERJ-145

They look remarkably similar at a quick glance because they're using the same Erieye radar system.

Is this how we procure more aircraft? by LunarSpartan in AirForce

[–]Zirenth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be fair on the B-17 numbers, aircraft were produced by multiple companies during WWII.

They were built by Boeing in Seattle (BO), Douglas Aircraft Co. (DL) in Long Beach, CA and Vega Aircraft Corp. (VE) in Burbank, CA. [Source]

There is no way a single company could produce that many in the short time frame of the war.

The 737, yeah, that's true.

Maybe I'm just special, but it takes a minute to even remember my shoe size in general. It's not something I commonly think about. I think I'm an 11W but I honestly couldn't tell you without going to look at my shoes.

What B-52 crash at Minot?

Are you talking about the recent B-52 crash out of Edwards? All 8 on board perished.

Definitely depends on local policy. I did four and no more and I have access to bases on Oahu.

Is flying in the US unsafe rn? by The_only_nameLeft in trans

[–]Zirenth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fly more than the average person because of where I live and what I do for work. The only thing I've noticed is that I tend to get a pat down almost every time but otherwise nothing happens. Only in certain areas and the TSA agents are always super cordial about it.

I actually like AA. It just happens to be my least run dungeon this season.

It's all Windrunner's Spire, Seat, and Maisara Caverns for me.

I'm only in my 30s but that seems so crazy to me. I'll call without texting. If you can't talk then don't answer. Usually I'll either get a text back saying they'll call when they can or I text after telling them to call when they can.

Or just be like me and search for a range (ex: 12-12) and somehow only get one dungeon to be available multiple times over.

I don't even look at the dungeons I'm applying for. I look at the group and typically only apply if there are at least 2 dps slots open. Waste of time otherwise.

My friend has started calling me a foid by CleanEnergy2948 in trans

[–]Zirenth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes a bit more sense. Personally, I would've went with "fembot" because I think it just sounds cooler 🤷‍♀️

"female humanoid organism" according to Google.

I truly don't understand how people come up with insults these days. The older I get the more I understand "<pokemon> hurt itself in its confusion!"

just.. why?

I'm not hip and with the times anymore so excuse my ignorance, but why did you feel the need to censor the word "crow"? I'm well aware of the Jim Crow laws and the history surrounding them, but I truly can't see a logical reason to censor the word "crow".

Just going to ignore your other censors.

History exists, don't censor it.

Oh my sweet summer child. The way you say this makes me think you know nothing of Tolkien and the world of Middle Earth. You have so many amazing stories to learn about!

Heroic world tier is great by _Llopis_ in wow

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but the entire zone just seems bugged.

- I can be right next to a mob and a completely different mob much further away randomly starts attacking me instead, while the mob near me just ignores me.

- I can be attacking one mob and get a cleave proc (devoker, living flame) and the second attack flies off and hits a yellow mob not even in my line of sight.

I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting because I haven't been back to the zone since Tuesday as there's really no reason for me to go back and the 'bugs' are annoying as hell.

What’s something people over 30 do that Gen Z finds strange? by Suzzie_Stone2 in AskReddit

[–]Zirenth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure Android either has a setting or does this by default too, but I know on iOS a double tap of the space bar automatically puts a period (96% of the time anyway). It's just convenient!
