@ClownWorld It's underdone. Wrap it in butcher paper and put a thermometer in it. Take it out of the oven when the temperature is above 190F. It will be moist and cooked.

Got roasted online for his beef being dry, so he made another one to redeem himself… but it’s still looking kinda questionable. Is this better or still dry? 👀

@TrentTelenko I remember that a Japanese ship got bombed by a B-17 during WW2, something that was statistically less likely than the vessel being sunk by a sea monster. The captain's after action report basically said that even a B-17 has to get lucky once in a while. Same goes here for Iran.

The F-35 fanboys are having a very rough day between the A-10 being used to hunt boat-drones because it is cheaper to fly and an Iranian surface to air, jet engine powered, loitering drone getting a piece of an F-35.

New to MilX? You missed the A-10 funding war, think tank establishment vs. “stubborn” warplane supporters. It was epic. I stayed mostly out, just suggested giving them to the Merchant Marine to protect ships. My take got laughed at THE hardest by the “experts” with PhDs.

@Discord_Lies @Ami_Marisol Close Air Support is still a mandatory mission for the Air Force. What do you propose using for that? Lawn Darts?

American logs into her federal student aid account so we can see her actual loans and payments - She took out a $49,548.74 loan - She’s made 120 payments, paying $25,558.36 - Her current balance is $50,121.33 So after paying $25,558.36, she now owes more than she took out “It's all such a scam”

@bb55guns @larisamlbrown The US Navy is little better as far as flag officers go. We had maybe 30 ships per admiral during WW2. Now, we have more admirals than ships. but, at least we can get our ships out to sea where they're needed.

@Alan7098 @larisamlbrown The RN, which has shown it can barely deploy one DDG, has over 300 officers of Admiral rank. That tells a sad tale.

@HunterStires @johnkonrad Our fleet is already much smaller than it used to be, and as I recall, we used to have several dozen Perry-class FFGs that were stupidly replaced by underarmed LCSs and instead of building cruisers we built 3 hugely expensive Zumwalt white elephants.

@johnkonrad That is the opposite reason why people have concerns about BBGX. Speaking for myself, I am concerned that it’s too large and expensive, is under-armed for its size and expense, and will result in a fleet that in aggregate is smaller, more targetable, and less survivable.

Universal rule: the more brutal and effective a weapon platform is, the more the “smartest guys in the room”™️ at the think tanks hate it. See: the recent DEFCON 1 PhD meltdown over Trump Class Battleships.

Author and DJ Zakia Sewell is using British folk culture to challenge far-right nationalism. Sewell has journeyed around the British Isles exploring Britain’s folk resurgence for her debut book, Finding Albion: Myth, Folklore and the Quest for a Hidden Britain. Finding Albion builds on Sewell’s hit audio series for BBC Radio 4, which saw her seek out a different, more inclusive idea of “Britishness” beyond the usual national myths and symbols.

@Johnny_Joey The army would be more than happy to take them off the air force's hands. I say, screw Key West and grab them. You know the air force is never going to be their when the army needs close air support.

For those of you not familiar. The A-10 Warthog is the ugliest, most absurdly beautiful killing machine to ever take flight. A flying chunk of titanium molded around a gatlin gun style cannon; the equally absurd 30mm GAU-8. It commands the adoration of troops on the ground as the sound of its unmistakable mating call the “brrrrrrp” overhead means several enemy fighters have been neutralized. It flies low and slow delivering death more intimately than any other fighter jet could fathom. Cloaked in armor, it’s rumored to be able to take damage to 70% of its airframe and still land with ease. It doesn’t need a long or even paved runway. The uppity nerds running the Air Force have decided to “phase them out” this year… yet here they are continuing to “get some”. I personally think that @USMC should take the them over… they fit perfectly in our “take old shit and make it great” culture.

Chairman of the JCS Gen. Dan Caine: "The A-10 Warthog is now in the fight across the southern flank and is hunting and killing fast attack watercraft in the Straits of Hormuz."

So Caesar Rodney who went on a “midnight ride” to Philadelphia to vote for independence (breaking a deadlock for Delaware) and then became a signer of the Declaration of Independence will be commemorated for the 250th anniversary and this is the headline?
