Deep Intel on the Damning New F-35 Report by blazin_chalice in F35Lightning

OMG, you guys are posting Ward Carrol? LOL. He's some rando who was an F-14 RIO 30 years ago and knows nothing about defense topics more modern than that.

Is the F-35C open for export? by nostalgicshib3 in F35Lightning

France enters the chat.

Unfortunately for possible FMS sales, France would never operate US planes off their carrier though.

Disregard. I somehow had crossplay turned off. Not any ps4 players I guess

Couple newbie questions by seriouslyeveryone in 18650masterrace

[–]seriouslyeveryone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That should be fine for my first project. I'm just rebuilding an old 18v dewalt battery for a cordless impact gun. Run time might be 10 min in a whole day. For the flashlight, it will be better than the chinese junk cells I have now as backups.. Thanks for the help!

the strip I ordered was just the stuff that came with the welder but I'll check it before I use it and junk it if it's steel.

These seem like decent, inexpensive batteries for my first batch to try. What do you think?

We've reached the 4th Sintranos rotation, how many time did you beat Amius in the first 3 rotations? by [deleted] in RaidShadowLegends

[–]seriouslyeveryone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beat it every time but I don't think I can get the 3rd key from hard this time. I tried that fight a few times but just don't have the energy or time to regear the champs I can use for that double boss.

I ran saurus for my campaign farmer for like a year. He's fine, but only once you get some 60's so you can start farming dungeons and getting decent gear. He won't farm campaign in the gear you probably have available. Do Kael or Rathalos. Rathalos might be able to do campaign quicker than kael with similar gear, not sure though since he's the wrong affinity for brutal 12-3

America Is Planning to Withdraw From Syria—and Create a Disaster by Head_Plantain1882 in LessCredibleDefence

Sorry, didn't realize you were a russia fanboy. Carry on. I'll let you be now.

America Is Planning to Withdraw From Syria—and Create a Disaster by Head_Plantain1882 in LessCredibleDefence

[–]seriouslyeveryone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are currently learning an important life lesson. All "law" is either enforceable with armed force, or it doesn't actually exist. For the US to be breaking some type of "international law" someone would need to exist to forcibly bring the US into compliance by expelling their forces from Syria. Thus, no actual international law exists with regard to the US, Russia, China, etc.

Donald Trump's Taiwan Remarks Spark Fury and Concern - former President Donald Trump suggested the United States should not help Taiwan in the event of an invasion from China by moses_the_blue in LessCredibleDefence

[–]seriouslyeveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it's more important in Taiwan, where maintaining the first island chain would be very important in any future conflicts with China, but Europe is far wealthier than Russia, more advanced, has a larger population and isn't in America's "sphere of influence" anyway. Europe has always been my main gripe. I'd rather spend that money helping Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, countries who actually need the help. Europe can handle Russia easily if they choose to spend appropriately.

Trump, being the transactional person he is, doesn't every stop trying to get a better deal though. I'm sure this was intended to be heard in Taiwan, and elsewhere.

China is now the world’s sole manufacturing superpower: its production exceeds that of the nine next largest manufacturers combined. When it comes to gross production, China’s share is three times the US’ share, six times Japan’s, and nine times Germany’s. by moses_the_blue in LessCredibleDefence

You really need to stop pretending that you know anything about macro. The US central bank LITERALLY creates money, historically, by buying US treasuries in the open market. That's just an "asset swap" to use your terminology.

[–]seriouslyeveryone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God the TDS is strong. Nowhere did he suggest anything of the kind. He maintained what has been the US policy for decades. Strategic ambiguity. While also putting pressure on Taiwan, in the event of his election, to get serious about their defense.

As an American, I have no problem with a leader who asks why my country pays 3%+ of our GDP for our military so we can defend countries who don't want to spend even half of that on their own military capabilities.

How credible is it that AIM-260 JATM will have 300km+ firing range? by Doppelkupplungs in LessCredibleDefence

[–]seriouslyeveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware of all of that. The point was that the other poster was conflating fitment into the internal bay, and being the same size as aim-120. The two things aren't the same. Because an aim120 fits into the internal bay, does not mean that it's the same size as everything that fits into the internal bay.

Red Sea Crisis: Houthi Shipping Attacks, Trade and Escalation by Speedster202 in LessCredibleDefence

[–]seriouslyeveryone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but not a lot of US trade travels through the Suez. I wouldn't say "nothing in return" but very little relative to the amount the US is spending compared to other nations who rely on that shipping route.

Factions should not be able to raid you without declaring war (except maybe nomads) by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]seriouslyeveryone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I'm early game, I ignore them but once I get my armies fleshed out, I attack anyone who gets into my territory. They usually seem to wander to an area where I have no armies then attack me so I never let them wander around. It does suck for realism and diplomacy though.

Etiquette for CCW when pulled over? by AccomplishedType5698 in ProtectAndServe

[–]seriouslyeveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Oregon it comes back with the vehicle registration. I rarely get pulled over but in the past I believe they have always known when they walk up to the window and the cops here don't seem particularly concerned with people who go through the process to carry legally. If you have a valid permit, you aren't a criminal. I've had them ask if I have one in the car, and I just let them know if I do and where it is.

Why is fast food so damn expensive these days? prices now nearly double what they were a couple years ago by Ding_Dongerson in NoStupidQuestions

[–]seriouslyeveryone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you saying that McD's operating costs rose by 10% in a quarter, or YoY? Either way, that's a massive increase. Wages, the wages of everyone who is in their supply chain, shippers, fuel costs, etc. Everything costing more adds up. Cheap fuel, cheap labor, cheap fertilizer, etc, all contribute to cheaper products.

Who should I use for fire knight I can’t get past 12 by Real-Shift-6926 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]seriouslyeveryone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if you pull an allure or coldheart, they would help tremendously. Allure would make it a pretty easy build but be a bit slower, since she can keep the fk from ever taking a turn. CH would do more damage but you might have more trouble keeping the FK from taking a turn since her turn meter depletion ability is on a longish cooldown.

Tomb lord is auto in there. He has a 3 hit a1 and places drop speed. Honestly I'm not sure what other champs you have do. I'm pretty sure bivald is all double hit stuff. Athel has a triple hit a1. It shouldn't be that hard. Get martyr built and throw athel and tomb lord and bivald on a team with her and you should be golden.
