Anonymous is the internet equivalent of Hamas. They're pretty good at hitting soft, unimportant, targets, and they're good for quick, buzz-worthy headlines, and that's about it.

Edit: They both talk a big game, post war videos to youtube, and then immediately fold and cry in public when they get push back.

Even with the loltasticness of the story, my favorite thing about the whole thing is that they had to request a loving waiver from a general so they could paint their loving trucks a new color. That's the sort of cargo cult poo poo I hate about the military. Somehow the rest of the world can operate just fine with trucks and tanks painted all sorts of colors and just labeled properly, but since some checklist somewhere says it needs to be a certain color we have no room for rational loving thought.50 Foot Ant posted:Heat dissipation is one of the major hurdles of some modern technology.

holocaust bloopers posted:Fuel used to transfer heat away from components is just sensible. The E-3 used fuel to cool pumps and poo poo. Yeah. Non-engineers are going to hate on it, but it's a rather ingeous work around to save space and weight in an aircraft. The problem is that for tacair planes the tanks are so small that they will heat up faster than on bigger airframes where is there is more fuel volume. Honestly, of all the myriad of stupid problems the F-35 has had, this one is relatively minor. ManMythLegend fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Dec 9, 2014 |

vulturesrow posted:Not to go too far off the rails but that is the great thing about being a terminal O4, I do whatever the hell needs to be done. That's always sort of always been my approach but it's full throttle now that I'm approved for continuation. My current front office is cool with it and actually appreciates my ability to just get things done but I have a feeling my next command is not going to be so appreciative. I've gotten pretty far using the same mentality really. At this point in my career I'm going to get fired if something goes wrong whether I follow every instruction or not, so I might as well use a critical eye when I do things. It works pretty well actually, because most people in the Navy are too chicken-poo poo to tell you to stop doing something anyway. They'll just tell someone higher up in their chain of command who I don't work for.

Casimir Radon posted:It's a good idea, they just should have used their imagination as far as scenarios that could gently caress things up. In this case it happens to be something that is likely to be a common occurrence. Totally agree. Painting fuel trucks white is pretty simple fix. Storing the planes under covers isn't an earth shattering indictment either considering they were going to have to anyway in order to protect their LO coating.

The old Saturn V rocket used fuel for cooling as well. In fact, I'm pretty confident in saying that every liquid fueled rocket uses its fuel for cooling.

According to them I was wrong and it was racist for me to assume there was more to Afganistan then shooting women in the head in soccer stadiums for learning how to read.

Potential BFF posted:If I could unfunnel that raghead's lunch out of his rear end I would, if only to shut you people up. The fact of the matter is you can't unhummus an rear end with talk, you cant unhummus an rear end at all. There are known unknowns and unknown unknowns and what manner of unknown an rear end hummusing constitutes cannot be determined with our current understanding of the butt feed. I do know, however, that we dumped a pureed lunch tray of nutritious and lawful nourishment into that man's rear end with the best of intentions. When you delve into buttlunches you confront the founding principles of our nation. A nation were an rear end full of whipped pasta and pine nuts can be rectally administered to a man that only days before was balls deep in a goat, camel, sheep, or perhaps even a young protege, an act that hearkens back to the halcyon days of the ancient city states of Athens or Sparta. Regardless of what he was banging, this man, this hero, took a butt full of lunch for team USA and he did it with prolapsing, hemorrhoid bursting, gooch tearing gusto. Perhaps he was an enemy, but an enemy with his rear end full of Wednesday's halal option B is an enemy that cannot plot the destruction of a tower, the bombing of an abortion clinic, or the administration of acid to an immodestly dressed strumpet's face. You can turn a wedding into a smoking, giblet spattered crater and turn the cacophonous whine of whatever people in that toilet of the world listen to on a broken radio into the music of death with a Hellfire, a JDAM, or a good old fashioned red blooded gun run, but those steaming mounds of pulped foreign flesh haven't had their butts filled with freedom and an empty rear end is an rear end that breeds the most dangerous sort of fanaticism. Man's ultimate purpose is to die, be it at the hands of famine, disease, or even at his brother's hand. In the grand cosmic scheme we are dust motes, briefly glistening in the shaft of sunlight that encompasses the entirety of our collective mortal existence and we owe it to ourselves as Americans to ensure that our memory is burned into the minds of every man, woman, and child in the third world before they are swallowed by rising tides, devoured by disease, or ripped apart by the screaming wings of justice we throw down from on high. The hush of the crowd is broken by the sound of a single mouse click on the Report Post button. The DnD poster nods sagely and smiles, sipping from xir goblet filled with the finest, ethically sourced, organically grown white zinfandel box wine. "Justice has been served this day," xe whispers to xirself before returning to xir lonely vigil in an unfriendly territory. The last bastion of morality amongst the warrior caste.

Yeah, I remember the SIPR mailing list that Grover maintained, but I think I only used it once or twice. I still think it might work if we stuck to the current events discussions and left most of the GiP bro/real talk stuff in the forums. It would be nice since we as a group have a pretty broad knowledge base and finding information outside of your wheelhouse is tough if you don't know where to look on the high side. JWCS is probably has better tools to facilitate something like that but gently caress if I know at this point since I've been stationed at backwaters for the last few years without access. Also, I think that would severely limit the audience. You might be able to do it with some of the blogging stuff on SIPR intellink, but then it's publicly readable. Eh just some thoughts. Maybe I'm being too optimistic.

The actual internet is only available to high level government officials, and certain important university researchers.
