This will definitely age well

I have no knowledge other than the article. Just it would be very strange for an OEM competing for a contract to freely admit they can’t hit schedule. They would show a massive concurrent event dev schedule where one thing going sideways would detonate everything, but at best it’s USG interpretation

favorite part is the press he is giving to the loser of the competition not being capable of supporting for a specific reason of timeline. Not capability, budget, or anything else just perceived schedule.

A prime would never freely admit they couldn’t hit a dev schedule like this so USG guess

He’s at his floor almost. I think only ground causalities and gas at $5 could move the needle anymore

Makes sense that a third of the populace are ride or die. This is an identity

It’s 100% related to the officer corps. They are the ones in charge not the civilians. PMs/PEOs are almost always officers with rare exceptions. They have neither the experience, training, or professional judgement to be out in charge of major programs.

History proves it

I imagine they’ll retire post midterm and senate will get them through like they rammed Barrett through

There it is

Actually pretty smart from optics. It’s not Iran blocking the straits it’s the American blockade

Wonder if there is still an open question of insurance and the ships

Honestly, this just looks like Midrats. I had a triple night bag (flew from like 2000-0800) and my hot meal I got was like a brown rice and a white rice plus some sort of animal product that looked like meat.

I still to this day am not sure what animal it came from.

I think the same logic applies with the current crop of Republican DASDs and by extension the services. I mean looks at what Bush did in Iraq. What does “good” look like in recent times?

Good ol T4C

Fed can cancel a contract whenever. Usually there are closeout costs that have to be adjudicated like actual costs incurred under performance etc

Agree on the shipbuilding. Travesty for sure and not looking any better.

Opinion: They haven’t nearly had to invest the amount of R&D via industrial espionage. Also depends on how the numbers are calculated for procurement if that is included. There are different ways to calculate a per unit cost to include non recurring engineering, etc

I wonder how the hyper online culture has turned being polite as endorsement of someone and all the shitty things they have done? We don’t hold world leaders to that unachievable standard because there is nuance in social situations. Feel bad for him he had to make a statement

What the actual fuck

Ego, no one cares about what he did, and thinking it was not despicable behavior

I said “cares terribly”. There is a difference. I like following you hope you don’t block me plz

Commanders do care. I don’t know how you could extrapolate my comment to infer they don’t.

Also, I never wrote service members shouldn’t follow the law. I am just remarking I think it’s silly when it comes to THC.

I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic. Never met a commanding officer that cares terribly about urianalysis in navy. Usually it was “really good sailor but my hands were tied for admin sep”

I think it’s pretty dumb we test for THC. Alcohol is far more corrosive to people’s lives

I can’t wait for this game to come out

2020 Tour de France by Tadej Pogacar has gotta be in the mix. Believe he was 21 at the time.

He is like the Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods of cycling right now. Unbeatable on almost every terrain. In fact if he wins Paris Roubaix this weekend he will cement his status as one of the greatest ever

I miss old school MTG. Something so unique about the artwork and little quotes

Haha way off. Was vanity fair

I don’t think it was that one. It reference El Segundo as the Gundo

I’ll have to look for it

I think wired did a story on it a couple years ago. I remember the quip about lifting weights, monster energy drinks, and patriotism as an initial head nod to vibe patriotism.

It’s not unexpected. People have been marinating their brains in slop and are cooked

People are mad as fuck

I think they are, morons (I know some). Military is the application political violence and will. You get a chance to have your say before you have to obey orders. Also, opting out of a basic civic duty because of “apolitical” aspirations is a vote in itself. Never understood it as prior active duty

Service chiefs are not in the operational chain of command. Doctrinal disagreement sure, but the service chiefs don’t actually execute the orders that authority flows from the combatant commanders etc.

Seems to be related to the dustup over promotions
