What's this about the army getting Ospreys?

Bell won the Blackhawk replacement flyoff, which pitted their tiltrotor against Sikorski's compound. The Valor is kind of a mini-Osprey.

My dad was an Army SF officer that deployed to Afghanistan with JSOC when it was Seal Team 6's turn over there, and he came away super unimpressed. Never had anything good to say about them, and they consistently made tactical choices that he considered utterly baffling.

In regards to military books, I haven't read one since before I joined the Army. Something about actually being in the Army just completely killed my interest in those kind of books.

Only one that I've read has been The Changing of the Guard, which is a massive tome about the post Cold War British army. It was interesting to see the GWoT through the eyes of an ally.

I fully believe Dad never strayed, but I’m also smart enough not to kick at those rocks.

I did go to Phnom Penh in 2020 for my MBA class trip, and after he mentioned that he had been there in 1970 (US gunboats escorted RVNN boats on a raid), I did ask him if I was going to see any half-Asian doppelgängers there and he laughed a little too hard.

In 2018, Boucher began a relationship with business magnate Elon Musk.[297] They met after discovering on Twitter that they both came up with the same pun relating to Rococo and the thought experiment Roko's basilisk.[298] On May 4, 2020, she gave birth to their son,[299][300] who they named "X Æ A-12"[301][302] (pronounced "Ex Ash A Twelve"[303] or "Ex Ay Eye").[304] The name reportedly violated the naming law in California, where the child was born,[305] and was subsequently changed to "X Æ A-Xii".[306] According to an image of the birth certificate, the letter "X" is the child's first name, and "AE A-XII" the middle name.[307] He is Musk's seventh child.[308] Grimes said via Instagram that Go Won of the South Korean girl group Loona, with whom she collaborated in 2018, is her son's godmother.[309] The couple "semi-separated" in September 2021.[310]

In January 2022, Grimes said of her relationship with Musk: "I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we're very fluid." She further revealed that their second child, a daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk (nicknamed Y), was born in December 2021 via surrogate.[15][311][312] In March 2022, following publication of the interview (which had been delayed two months before its publication), Grimes tweeted that she and Musk had broken up again but said "he's my best friend and the love of my life."[313]

From March to July 2022, Grimes dated activist and whistleblower Chelsea Manning.

There's an article on it somewhere, but his thing basically equates to billionaire/tech bro discovers the quiverfull movement combined with totally not eugenics of ensuring their superior genetics get spread as much as possible. Musk specifically goes for male children for this. It's creepy as hell.

He's been at GE for nearly 55 years, apparently his idea to do the comparison shot with the VW beetle. Cheeky old geezer.

I'd be extremely interested in hearing his opinions on the other competitor solutions to his project. Things like the Oerlikon KCA, the DEFA 554 etc. I.e. him describing revolver cannons vs gatlings from the perspective of someone who designed the latter.

Bit late but seals sucked even at the physical side of things as well as being stupid. Usually did a bunch of steroids while doing nothing but bench press and bicep curls so they routinely fell out of offset infils. While searching for the dead bodies of their comrades after operation red wings they all got tired and quit so rangers had to find their own guys for them.

This particular “one of the dudes” being Twitter’s former head of safety and security, which casts this all in an even more sinister light.
