@TheoMoudakis @TorontoStar You know even when I agree with you I still find your cartoons obnoxious

@TheBikingLawyer Don't run from the cops.

@MilHistNow The Wildcat was outclassed by the Zero but not by as much as popularly believed. In the hands of an experienced pilot playing to its strengths, it was more than able to hold its own.
And if the Wildcat lost, the pilot still had a decent chance to live and learn from his mistakes

@SteadtlerA58435 @TheBikingLawyer Including the guy taking this video blowing a stop sign

@RSE_VB @prayerborne IIRC the Soviets expected to have to send over 100 bombers to hit an American carrier and that they'd suffer nearly 100% casualties.

@Rabientissimus @heatloss1986 The only requirement it serves better is being cheap.

@CACP_ACCP @npffpn @StamatakisCPA Its entire purpose is to expand surveillance.

@GunGnome And anyone who wears a kilt should also be ale to carry a broadsword

@Dicky_Paul_95 @CP24 We're talking about FIFA here so there's almost certainly bribery and corruption involved.

[PumpkinFish @PumpkinFish4]

@Dicky_Paul_95 @raghu_venugopal I love how the cyclist taking the video also blows a stop sign.

[PumpkinFish @PumpkinFish4]

@npffpn @CACP_ACCP No. It's a privacy and security nightmare that needs to ne scrapped entirely.
Do some actual police work and get a warrant instead of destroying privacy for everyone.

@TomcatJunkie I believe the Super Hornet was considered at first along with the Rafale and a few others. The F-35 won out. Then there was a bunch of political bullshit and the F-35 order got deferred. Another competition was held and the F-35 won again.
Now there's more political bullshit.

@GHHILL1911 The Fireclean saga was hilarious. Someone finally sent a bottle of it to a lab and it was just straight vegetable oil.

[PumpkinFish @PumpkinFish4]

@wbridgefa @GuardianUSAF Yeah that's just stupid.

[PumpkinFish @PumpkinFish4]

@wbridgefa @GuardianUSAF The main argument for it is that it's cheaper to buy and operate. Which is fine if we're buying it for peacetime duties. And it would have done fine in missions like Afghanistan.

But if we're equipping the air force to fight an actual war, the F-35 is the only choice.

@Safety_Canada So having our internet activity tracked is a bad thing. Yet you want to track everyone's internet activity.

@kamikazecash My grandpa used to travel a lot for work and any time he had a layover he'd hit up timeshare presentations. Then when the hard sell started, "Sorry, I have a plane to catch."
It was like a perk of the job for him
