It's amazing how sometimes in life what seems like an endless period of suffering, loss, and conflict can end up inadvertantly backing you into peace, beauty, and happiness in what seems like heaven. I'm so lucky to be able to write this post, and so thankful.

@MandoWookie @bmitori @ArmedJ0y Lol I mean my friends who have 5.56 (or even 7.62!!) rifles for "home defense" for "stopping power". Dude, that round isn't stopping until next week.

@MandoWookie @bmitori @ArmedJ0y I mean, this is my primary reason for advocating for a .12ga as your sole firearm... Slugs for hunting, buckshot for home defense, skeet loads for fun. Oh, and you won't kill your neighbor when you kill a home invader. It's a plus (for most people).

@JordanGuatqui @the_transit_guy @RckyMtnThunder Torn up aluminum jet frame and a bunch of other ancillary crap to turn that whole damaged area into a massive furnace. When you start thinking about the dynamics of a fire and the kind of fuel/air fed into that massive hole, it's not hard to imagine why molten steel came out. /🧵

@AndrewBylerPA @the_transit_guy Did you even read the snippet you used? It's essentially saying the 707 impact analysis was basically marketing fluff, as there would've been no effective way for engineers to simulate it at the time. "Unable to locate any documentation" is investigator-speak for "it was BS".

@bscholl The real question is: does the jet manage this in "supercruise", and can this be done with enough efficiency to make the faster trips still cost effective? Or will this simply be a feature of Concorde-like 5-figure ticket prices?

@Doha104p3 I don't think it's funny at all tbh, it's hurting American businesses and credibility abroad. For instance, part of the Japanese protest against the Marines is fear of Osprey crashes...

@NAFORaccoon @JDVance Pretty sure they made a movie about that...

Y'all notice X has lately been sucking down a metric ton of battery on your devices?? I'm about ready to uninstall bc I'm fairly sure some level of Blockchain/distributed compute is being done on my device without my permission.

@the_transit_guy Pretty sure NH's motto is "Live Free or Die", so...

@Ahuof3_Jims @kirawontmiss Because there's a lot of population above the curve in this graph. The ! area are the women in jail you're talking about.

@CamNicometo @MingtheMercil15 @MalcontentmentT I'm not the one supporting a president that's destroying democracy OR calling people names. So *I'm* an ass?

@TomcatJunkie @josmith559 I simplified bc 280chars. I'm honestly super cynical RN and don't super care abt detailed reasons for past screwups when the present is so incredibly F'd. I don't frankly see a good future where us analyzing past mistakes will make a single lick of difference.

@TomcatJunkie @josmith559 Never forget what they took from us... But the Navy turned it down because they were so invested in the F-14. Guess that worked out great. 🙄😮‍💨

@swedishslammer @TomcatJunkie @IranSpec Quicksink 😉

@DrChrisCombs I mean... It's pretty safe to say at this point, "these guys genuinely don't know what they're messing with". But do we really think that they're going to get a Twitter education and stop breaking shit? Frankly they're just there to break things and remake them how they want. 🤷‍♂️

@xgigglypuff Pfft most times I don't even want anything to do with technology at all. Definitely nothing in my home office.

Anyone else watch the movie Logan lately and feel profoundly connected? 😮‍💨 I feel like my reaction to these times would be seriously different if I were 20 years younger.

This is seriously our country right now. It's a problem.
