@UnwantedBlog Great companion for 1201.
SDM a notional self defense missile or something else?

[Chris Combs (iterative design enjoyer) @DrChrisCombs]

What a montage NASA

What's great is that the next time you are asked about the difference between tactics and strategy, Epic Fail will be the standard.

@UnwantedBlog That trailing edge sweep is very nice

Interesting. The Littoral Combat Ships USS Tulsa and Santa Barbara, which were assigned rotationally to the Middle East and were supposed to be the US Navy’s mine countermeasures platforms in that region, are now in Penang, Malaysia h/t @limzerui

1970s: This ARPANET thing is really useful for sharing research papers!

2026: You can easily get any piece of information on the internet, unless it's a research paper, because they're the most paywalled things in the universe.

Interesting use of morphing wing technology, by the National University of Singapore. I like how the leading and trailing edge can pivot too.

PLAAF training lecture for new pilots:

Trainer: Why do you engage in close dogfights?
Cadet: Because I have superior maneuverability!
Trainer: Wrong, because you are really dumb.

"The Navy confirmed to Newsweek on Tuesday that the missile in the photo was the LRASM, adding that work was underway to complete its integration on the P-8A aircraft."

@cgberube I quite like the joke that the oft-quoted number 47 in the franchise was 42 adjusted for inflation.

@ChefReactions Next step, become obsessed with V10 era

A Chinese fishing militia vessel illegally entered South Korea's territory.
When challenged, Chinese vessel tried to hit South Korean Coast Guard Ship.

South Korean Coast Guard then threw grenade at the Chinese boat.

This is how you deal with Chinese Militia! @MalayaIrredenta

[Alec Platón @AlecPlaton]

Not the most stabilized approach - no way that was catchable.

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

View of Starship landing burn and splashdown on Flight 10, made possible by SpaceX’s recovery team. Starship made it through reentry with intentionally missing tiles, completed maneuvers to intentionally stress its flaps, had visible damage to its aft skirt and flaps, and still executed a flip and landing burn that placed it approximately 3 meters from its targeted splashdown point

[Alec Platón @AlecPlaton]

@pattonoswalt But this looks great! Practical effects!

[Alec Platón @AlecPlaton]

@pattonoswalt Never be able to top this title drop though
