@Convair_Sam I can turn my brain off for most things but the """jamming""" implementation. Just dont think about it too much. It's not suppose to be an accurate representation of anything.

@Muchocracker see as a concept nuclear thunder is the same thing but the correct technical level instead of le future but le future based on systems from the 1960s

Realizing that I am too autistic to enjoy nuclear option

@heatloss1986 He doesnt know about the state of INDOPACOM JASSM inventories

he doesn't know about the state of naval aviation

@GBU39SDB allat just for congress to cancel funding

@StrategicTrends too bad it wont matter anyway because neither congress or the navy wanna fund it

Broad brush stroke commentary but the physical design is indicative of it being 6th Gen than to a 5.5 Gen that some people were speculating about. Yes, a *lot* of what matters is whats under the hood that we can't see, but certain design choices make me believe she's a proper 6

@the_engi_nerd Psycho lol

There was a period where I was working on F-35s where I was married but we hadn’t had children yet. So when I got sent to Eglin to help with climatic chamber testing, I brought my wife with me. One morning at breakfast in the hotel, a female maintainer from Pratt and Whitney that I had never spoken with walked up to me, reached up, and ran her hands through my hair and told me that I’m cute. She was NOT the kind of woman you would want doing this. Even my wife was like “what in the hell just happened?”

It’s that time again. Ask me almost anything, with usual caveats. I will not reveal who I am, exactly what I work on now, nor will I go to prison for you. ngl.link/the_engi_nerd

@ControlledPairs @gunguytv Nah, he's a fuckin clown

Logan is a better shooter than @gunguytv . Like... A lot better. I think Joel is probably a decent dude, unfortunately he's been in the game a while and he needs a refresher. That's all.

@gunguytv @AtypicalBass "I am going to ignore your arguments and appeal to my nonsensical authority"

@AtypicalBass Show the answer is, you have never been shot at and never had to fight for your life. Got it.

A little education for all the keyboard commandos bagging on point shooting: From Grok: The U.S. military still incorporates versions of point shooting (also called instinctive, reflexive, threat-focused, or quick-fire shooting) in close-quarters combat (CQC/CQB) training, though it is typically taught as a complementary skill built on a foundation of sighted marksmanship rather than a primary or standalone method. - Modern U.S. Army Doctrine U.S. Army pistol and rifle marksmanship manuals (such as TC 3-23.35 Pistol from 2017 and TC 3-22.9 Rifle and Carbine) emphasize proper sight alignment and the full shot process for most engagements. However, they recognize that in very close ranges—especially under extreme stress in confined spaces—shooters may not have time to acquire a full sight picture. Older Army manuals (e.g., FM 3-23.35) explicitly described techniques like: - Quick-fire pointing (bringing the weapon up and thrusting it forward while focusing on the target). - Quick-fire sighting for 5–10 yards when time is limited. These concepts align with reflexive fire or modified point shooting, where the shooter points the weapon naturally (often using body alignment or a "combat stance") while keeping eyes on the threat rather than the sights. This remains relevant in CQB room-clearing drills and is practiced in unit-level training. - U.S. Marine Corps and Special Operations Marines and special operations forces have historically integrated point/reflexive shooting into CQB training, with anecdotal reports from combat (e.g., house clearing in Iraq) describing Marines engaging targets at 3–4 feet by pointing rifles over the barrel without using sights. Marine Corps programs, including the Combat Pistol Program and close-quarters tactics courses, include rapid, close-range engagements from the holster or in dynamic movement, often progressing from sighted fundamentals to faster, instinctive techniques under stress. MCMAP (Marine Corps Martial Arts Program) and CQB training also address weapon handling in extreme close quarters, where retention and point-style shooting can apply. Interviews with Marine instructors (from training analyses) have noted that sighted fire builds the muscle memory foundation, after which **point shooting becomes the preferred or natural method for very short distances (contact to ~15–21 feet), where most gunfights occur. This includes using body alignment (e.g., isosceles stance) to "point" the weapon while focusing on the threat. - Current Context and Evolution - Reflexive shooting or similar techniques appear in CQB doctrine (e.g., FM 90-10-1 on close-quarters combat techniques, which discusses reflexive shooting in confined areas). - Modern training stresses stress inoculation and realistic scenarios. Soldiers/Marines learn that under adrenaline, tunnel vision and physiological responses often lead to instinctive pointing rather than deliberate sighting. - Optics (e.g., red dots on rifles) and body armor influence techniques—shooters may use a "modified point" by indexing the threat in the optic window without perfect reticle alignment. - It is not the default for all shooting; doctrine prioritizes accurate, sighted fire when possible. Point shooting is situational, for when speed trumps precision in "bad breath" distances. In practice, elite units (e.g., Rangers, special forces) and advanced CQB courses continue to drill variations of this, often drawing from historical methods like those in Rex Applegate's Kill or Get Killed or WWII-era training, adapted for today's weapons and gear. Anecdotal accounts from veterans confirm its use in real-world CQB. Overall, while not called "classic point shooting" in every manual, some evolved version—emphasizing threat focus, natural pointing, and rapid presentation—is still taught and used for close-quarters scenarios across the U.S. military. Training evolves based on combat lessons from Iraq/Afghanistan and ongoing urban warfare considerations.

@the_engi_nerd I would love to get in the manufacturing side of NASA if i knew i wasnt going to take a significant pay cut doing it.

We need legislation that would let these positions pay more. Jared has done what he can here, I think, but there are a lot of very very smart people in this industry on the contractor side who would have to take a big pay cut even at a maxed out GS-14 or 15 position.

@gunguytv Holy boomer take

@MrProWestie @Battlefield I can deal with 2 maps per season if the seasons are only 2 months long.

@Battlefield Great to see the team listening to the community and implementing core features they've been asking for 💪 However... can we please get more than 2 maps per season? Season 5 has 3 but I think we'd all love to see that become the standard moving forward 👍

The year ahead for Battlefield 6. Built from your feedback. 🗺️ Large-Scale Maps 🌐 Server Browser & Persistent Servers 🥇 Ranked Play 🚢 Naval Warfare 🎮 Platoons, Spectator Mode & More! And we’re not done yet. More to come in 2026.

@BigfryTV they'll find some way to fuck it up

About god damn time, man. - Server Browser - Platoons - Prox Chat - Naval Warfare w/ Wake Island This is a GREAT step but as always, they seem to drop the ball in a million different places after the fact.

@RSE_VB Might as well roll the coffin out then and there

Being an LSO and debriefing the Admiral on his taxi one wire stitch and giving him an OK.

@KyleCrabbs @AtoZSportsNFL how do you even have time to do this channel lol

Fired up for some brand new content with the @AtoZSportsNFL Film Room channel on YouTube! ‘Film Room 101’ is here to explore the trends & roles across the league, starting with: - X & Z receivers - D-Line roles - QB pre-snap workload Come check us out: youtube.com/c/AtoZSportsFi…

@mainmajin tried to tell yall mfs

My fault entirely demon

@OmarKelly lmao, you're so fucking dumb omar

I’m going to admit that Fano doesn’t do it for me. He’s not physical enough. I watched his tape and had Jonah Savaiinaea flashbacks. I watched Jonah in the draft process, and even thought people told me he was the last of the safe O-line selections, I wasn’t really a fan. Fano….same. Not physical enough for me

@Jessemba22 @SleeperMiami He is literally not a first round pick and does not get a 5th year option. Stop listening to that fucking clown omar

@SleeperMiami De’Von either gets Extended 4 Years, Traded to Houston for #28 Pick, Or 5th Year Option will be picked up! Houston has an Awesome Defense, Nico Collins a Stud WR, but the QB needs a 1,500 Yd all purpose RB!! Otherwise, 4 Year Deal is coming! 🐬🐬🐬🏉

I do not like the sound of this whatsoever
