Damn I love Chon, I listened to them a lot in highschool
salamandermanderto World News@quokk.au•China quietly bought land near top Seoul security sites1·3 months agoThis is a really common Chinese espionage strategy. Every military base, department of energy site, and defense contractor is surrounded by properties owned by Chinese government shell companies for the purposes of surveillance
salamandermanderto politics @lemmy.world•Rep. Warren Davidson Introduces the Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) Research Act of 202520·3 months agoIt’s a classic move by totalitarian states, Fascist Italy and the Soviet Union used the same tactic (North Korea continues to use it). And unfortunately it was pretty effective. No one really believed the people shut away were actually crazy, but they sure were scared of being disappeared to an “asylum”, “psychiatric facility”, or “reeducation camp”.
salamandermanderto politics @lemmy.world•Bill presented that would make disliking Trump grounds for an involuntary mental health hold1021·5 months agoThis is literally how the soviet union suppressed dissent in the 80s. Disagreement with the party was legally considered a sign of psychological issues. They did this to replace the gulags.
salamandermanderto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Banned from Multiple Socialist Subs for Calling Out Russia—Why Is This?71·6 months agoIt’s incredibly common tankie propaganda to depict Russia as somehow returning to, and defending, a modern form of socialism. Which many tankies eat up eagerly since the modern Russian state descends from the Soviet one, and Russia was (up until 2 months ago) the largest enemy of western capitalist/liberal democracies.
Public or private school? Do you get any disrespect from other more “academic” teachers for being a PE teacher?
Wasn’t Scott Ritter a pedophile??? Who the hell thinks taking his word on foreign policy is smart when the man is that evil?
Arguably the air force was also just too scared of flying wings to give them the development they needed rather than the tech being unsolvable at the time. It’s a shame that none of the prototypes were preserved

In my sleep addled vision the words “protests” and “states” became “prostates” like damn 50 of them??
salamandermanderto Technology@lemmy.ml•China Will Field a Sixth Generation Fighter Before America Can - Expert Highlights Why33·7 months agoActually I take it back I don’t like your metaphor. It would be accurate if the industrial and technical requirements between 5th and 6th gen aircraft were as different as that of a horse and buggy, but fundamentally that’s not the case.
Both call for stealth technology, advanced integrated avionics, high performance gas turbines, composite material and titanium structures to meet strength/weight requirements, and advanced radar/sensors, all combined in a package that is both reliable and can be manufactured em mass.
The US has been demonstrating those capabilities for 30 years. China has obtained some of them (still lags in engine, avionics capabilities, and radar) and has only been able to manufacture aircraft with them at a fraction of the scale.
The Chinese aircraft industry is suddenly going to leapfrog the US on all of those features AND manufacture them on a great scale? I doubt that.
salamandermanderto Technology@lemmy.ml•China Will Field a Sixth Generation Fighter Before America Can - Expert Highlights Why12·7 months agoI like your metaphor, horse and buggies lol Again I still disagree with you. If we extend the metaphor, let’s say 6th gen is a model T car from the 1900s.
The US has Next Generation Air Defense (NGAD) motorcar in development to replace the “horse and buggy” F-22 as a dedicated air supremacy buggy. We also have the B-21 Raider (more like a whole ass truck in this metaphor) rolling out now which is a bomber that’s more advanced than either the F-35 “buggy” or the flying triangle “motorcar” that china has a prototype of and which nobody knows anything about performance-wise other than that it’s triangular and can fly.
Also the one model of horse and buggy china has is still inferior to the far older F-22 that the US has had since the 1990s.
Something tells me that China isn’t going to outpace the US in either production numbers or technical capabilities of aircraft.
The Gemini app. I can’t uninstall it from my phone but I have it disabled. Not sure if Google’s other account access and apps on my phone are going to still feed into Gemini.
