@KissMyStern @heatloss1986 You’re conflating not rescuing shipwrecked survivors with intentionally lighting them ablaze, using incendiary weapons against active enemy combatants vs those hors de combat, and a myriad of other issues to create a straw man argument. Have fun with the last word.

[Bob Terwilliger @terwill1911]

@KissMyStern @heatloss1986 This being from ww2, if the German or Japanese design bureaus devised some torpedo contraption to light up oil slicks after a conventional torpedo strike, everyone would be clamoring to execute them for war crimes.

[Bob Terwilliger @terwill1911]

@KissMyStern @heatloss1986 The fact they included a helpless tanker seems to point to just wanting to burn shipwrecked survivors

[Bob Terwilliger @terwill1911]

@heatloss1986 “Almost”

@GFloydinov20862 @WeaponOutfitter Doing some kind of Swiss model would solve so much so of course it’ll never be implemented

@the_engi_nerd Spacex famously has 0 experience operating anything in the vacuum of space. If only the company that launched more satellites than everyone else in history combined thought to make them out of hydro flasks.

@TheSwampKnight @jerrycurld Kind of disappointing and against that quiet professional mantra if they let their ego in and started hurting guys.

Neat story and anecdote, thanks for sharing!

[Bob Terwilliger @terwill1911]

@TheSwampKnight @jerrycurld Was it they were mad and started breaking rules because of it? Or they were showing that they were holding back the first time?

[Bob Terwilliger @terwill1911]

@heatloss1986 @planefag Yup. You can see the progression from the Colt 1900 where the bottom half just slowly gets lugerized.

Also everyone hating the cavalry board despite them being the ones who at the last minute requested an ergonomic thumb safety

@TheIcahnist Because Patagonia doesn’t advertise it at all. They love the warbucks but know it goes completely against their cultivated hippie image. Similar thing with arcteryx.

Outdoor research is great and openly sells their stuff

@Steve_Sailer @RealCynicalFox Japan knew the only way they could defeat America was decisively winning a single massive naval engagement and having the US sue for peace before her industrial might could turn the tide.

So it became all Japan planned and trained for. Any alternative was deliberately ignored

[Bob Terwilliger @terwill1911]

@Steve_Sailer @RealCynicalFox Yeah waking them all up and beating their rears until they bled isn’t the most relevant thing to pilot training

I forgot who but one accomplished aviator lamented how much better shape they’d be in if they didn’t artificially wash out such a large percentage of capable pilots

[Bob Terwilliger @terwill1911]

@Steve_Sailer @RealCynicalFox The majority of IJN aviators actually survived the battle of midway, being rescued by their destroyers.

But poor damage control and disregard of lives meant much of the ships crew perished. So Japan had to draw from a smaller population who was also less mechanically exposed

[Bob Terwilliger @terwill1911]

@Steve_Sailer @RealCynicalFox I don’t think it was wood vs steel so much as the us had massive car ownership leading to that shade tree mechanic you mentioned, vs Japan needing to train someone who had only ever seen a car from a distance on how to repair and airplane.

@uckema What an insane time period for technology. Just 15 years earlier you had the first all metal prototype to replace fabric biplane bombers

@Empty_America Can we combine that with Nordic style right to roam through vast private property?

Property taxes in theory help prevent the return to serfdom.

Otherwise a select few are going to start acquiring and hoarding vast amounts of land for zero cost.

[Bob Terwilliger @terwill1911]

@FinnishGear Always been envious of the right to wander laws that exist with the nordics. So much beautiful land cut off from people to enjoy.

@ingelramdecoucy @Aristos_Revenge Mission level La Porte d’argent with the objective to get in, then to get in to the gold member level, then to escape the relaxation grotto through the platinum door.
