Yes and then Cruiser evolved to meaning fast ship that can achieve useful things independently, ie raid or patrol or scout etc. Frigates used to be the older age-of-sail term mainly used for these vessels. We should note that English language nautical classifications is mostly sourced from the Royal Navy with a cultural switch to US Navy terms of art during and post-WW2. NATO carried some weight with spreading US language conformity since.

Pookah posted:Not to be a dick, but that doesn't tell you Mitchell is an historian. He has a degree in a relevant subject, but hey, so do I. It is a conundrum though. If someone does the work of an historian for a week but without any formal traing whatsoever, are they an historian? They're certainly not a trained historian but do they get to go anywhere near the titular at all? I'd hope most would say no and strongly, we have greater barriers for entry than the work alone. Is the only workable test, a widespread acceptance among the titular peers?

I guess we should acknowledge we're comparing wildly different places in the world now. The US is a long ways away from cashless, other areas not so much. Most small places, mom and pop and food trucks etc round here don't accept cash anymore. The big public reasoning is no cash = no armed robbery. But it's probably more because there's way less ancillary costs from admin, automatic accounting and taxes, and one less physical thing to bother with

The English voice overs are [whatever otaku says about English voices]. Real fans use the real Swedish dub and subtitles (Real talk though, the east swedish voices gets a lot closer to the je ne sais qui of the characters. More gentle and melodic. I should test the Japanese one too come to think of)

Rosa wasn't even the first in the series of those demonstrations, I think she was 4th. The sparking event did happen spontaneously with a very determined young woman who refused to leave her seat, and someone in the movement figured this would make an excellent way to mass protest. Rosa was an employee in the organisation and more little old lady-like and, since the organised protest series had journalists attached and present for each event, it was almost an exercise in finding out when the public would start to care. Tl/dr the first time was unplanned, and the rights movement repeated it and suddenly the world noticed when Rosa Parks protested

The f16 variants is a bit more fragile than the f18+f18e. So in a nutshell, the us carrier airplanes are the best rough'n'ready alternative if you want a robust airplane that does an f16 job, and if you're limited by reeeally wanting to buy american for the political effects that giving americans money would buy you.

Gaius Marius posted:Canada's situation is far more baffling. They killed their own domestic fighter industry, bought American planes and now have spent decades flying obsolete planes while loving up any attempt to upgrade their arsenal. It's easier to make sense of when you parse canada 1. Don't need any military, so results don't matter and 2. meaning there's no consequences to use it for corruption or, 3. election promises to undo/redo/cut expensive purchases because the other party in the two party system is wrong and stupid and wastes your money. The day their politicians understand you only need to say 3. without doing it is the day everything starts working. It's also the day a friend stops getting paid to redo it, so

You can get a modern 15 from Boeing that does both just fine. It's maintenance and everything associated with getting them to the job that would make one more practical than the other. Practical translates as budget and amount of support staff in contemporary Australian, more than job performance

Ommin posted:Are you all just really into military hardware or is everyone expected to know so much detail about the various war machines? To me, every fighter jet is an F16 and everything else is just generically a bomber, unless it's black, then it's a stealth bomber. It's like recognising cars or hockey players or celebrities. Some are less resistant to the siren's call than others. It's fine to be "that car is yellow and I'm going to buy one that is blue, I think".
