A-10's don't have afterburners, the engines are for all internet comparison intents identical to a crj's, far as I know. The F-18a-d are not the same airplanes as the F18e-f, they are two different airplanes camouflaged to look the same for budget approval reasons, same as the JAS-39A-D and E/F. The E 'versions' are almost twice(?) the size by volume. The arguably most tedious people online are people who want to debate tanks and airplanes. Dogfighting gets instantaneously reintroduced once you've fired the not-enough missiles you brought, ask Ukraine. The F-16XL is the best viper. All the best airplanes have the wings in the back and make them triangular.

You'd think I'd remember these things after working on the engine monitoring box for multiple years.

(It was a long time ago, and the job was basically "Make the software periodically read a bunch of sensors from each engine. When temperatures/pressures/rpms/vibration do X, generate code Y". Then those codes made ground personnel do different kinds of inspections or maintenance on the engine. I never had to really know much about why various patterns of readings were bad)

I think I used to read your posts in the AI air thread. I might have forgotten if I still do too :downs:

All worker bees are female, aren't they? Same as ants?
Bee genetics is one of those topics I remember enough about to know it is fascinating and important, but not enough to actually, y'know, talk about with anyone. Just sort of do some Pavlovian dribbling when I read the word "apiculture"

Sort of. If that particular science was done today the taxonomy would be much more open to calling them something third. They where defaulted to as female more from 19th c. cultural inertia than 19th c. science

Yeah, in my experience, Europe in general (and Japan, and Canada) tends to eat later than I'm used to in the upper Midwest. Spain has an outsized reputation for eating dinner at midnight (which is not really true).

One more proof that the midwest is just weird religious Scandinavia. I'll be shocked if they eat dinner at any time other than 5:30pm

I was just watching a Street Fighter 6 tournament, and thinking it would be funny if people really did yell out the names of attacks when they do them, and then that it'd be funny if, like, soldiers yelled out "SHOOTING GUN!" when they fired, and so on.

Anyway, I just realised that fighter pilots LITERALLY do that. There are radio code words for different kinds of attack. Admittedly "shoryuken!" sounds a lot cooler than "fox three!" but there you go.

e:

Oh real smooth, Courier! Smooth like smooth little babies!

Soldiers very much do, only not with small arms. Tank gunners and carl gustaf shooters kinda prominently. And small arms don't go off unannounced either ideally, but leader shouting 'fire' or an enemy call out might not be very street fighter idk
