Blistex posted:Are you sure you were not looking at the wrong aircraft when comparing them (maybe clicked on the B-47 instead of the B-52)? Wiki is telling me the Buff has 1200km more ferry range, and can carry 3x as much weight in munitions. Hard to believe that the B-52 is actually older and has been in service longer than the bear. While they have similar shapes, the turboprops, nose and cluttered look of the Bear makes it look like it belongs in WWII rather than the cold war. It's also possibly the second loudest aircraft ever made (after the thunderscreetch). Holy mother of  quote:Coupled with the already considerable noise from the subsonic aspect of the propeller and the dual turbines, the aircraft was notorious for inducing severe nausea and headaches among ground crews.[11] In one report, a Republic engineer suffered a seizure after close range exposure to the shock waves emanating from a powered-up XF-84H They intended this bastard for carriers. Wow.

Try putting something inside 10NM of a carrier and watch what happens Yeah good luck with that. We had two harriers doing donuts over that POS Iranian sub and its tender-ships (they need two cause it breaks down alot) just for the hell of it, even with us telling them not to. Oh this wasn't even in international waters which was cherry on top. Hot dog red.

I guess Evan Brasset surviving the Pearl Harbor attacks on the USS Rigel without firing a shot then surviving until 2013 doesn't really scream bad-rear end to me. If we're going to call militarism or jingoism bad-rear end, let's put some effort into it beyond a photogenic moment. It's a really old dude getting kisses from ladies, where did militarism or jingoism come into it? Weirdo.

Snowy posted:I though gilf porn was just gross but I guess it's badass I saw on antiques road show (or at least that's what I think it was) that in the days before multimedia news there would literally be collectable ceramic figurines of, like, the missing white girl of the month, or a horrendous train wreck or things like that. Depending on where you lived it was entirely possible the first time you'd hear about such an event is when you ask your friend why in god's name he has a statue of a tiger eating a baby.

That we literally subsist on the radiation from a giant nuclear explosion in space and draw power from it's inevitable death is pretty badass I guess. e: also pooping on cars because gently caress the police.

Having grown up in Ohio, thinking about how hard people fought for labor laws in the rust belt in places like Toledo makes me proud. But seeing how most of those places have gone to poo poo makes me sad.

People are trying all the time to turn around different areas, and sometimes they actually succeed. Toledo isn't the most interesting city, but I love it (born and raised), and the parts that are cool are usually really cool. I'm glad a bunch of rich dudes back in the day decided that regular folks deserved to have culture too. Otherwise Toledo would likely be just a boring hick town with delapidated factories, as opposed to a hick town with some yarn-bombed lampposts like now.

Well seeing as I'll see this moment in just a few hours on the East Coast, I figured that there was something more to it than something that has happened billions of times in the earth history across the planet. That's like saying there's nothing in the world like a child's laugh. Also, I'm apparently a 90 year old crotchety man.
