  1. That’s boss lady shit right there.
  2. I have no doubt of everything you are saying and that it is true. I also have no doubt that's why western aviation safety standards are higher, and less lethal, than eastern ones. It seems we are talking past one another. I'm not trying to speak to the general attitudes of the maintenance crews towards flight safety. Rather, I'm saying that it is well known that deferred, sub-par maintenance leads to higher rates of aviation accidents. Even when you are dealing with a robustly designed system where the window of tolerances isn't narrow. In short, even with simple aircraft systems, if you don't maintain them, the chance of them killing you goes up.
  3. Yeah, as a long time aviator from a family of aviators, I can tell you that while I appreciate conceptually what you are saying, the trail of blood spilled in aviation following this kind of thinking is long, wide and deep. A Tupolev is not a tractor, and the support/supply chain provided by Boeing (despite recent misses) is amazing. Nevertheless, let's hope the Russians adhere to this concept.
  4. Plus they're so damned old it has to be difficult maintaining them.

  6. Unlikely. Seems more like PRC pushing the envelope again. There was a NYT opinion piece about confronting PRC today but I won’t post here. I’ll put it in the China thread. It was on point though.
  7. I don’t recall this happening with the PRC before though. I think that’s new.
  8. I love fun stage wear and man that is so much fun. Now all you need is a 59 LP and a Marshall stack to go with.
  9. She's dealt with gangsters before.
  10. That is badass.
  11. I have one of these sitting in the corner of my music room. I'll take a pic sometime and post it. I also have a couple of amp in cases they were basically giving away, just in case. Death cap?
  12. File under: fights we don’t need to have now.
  13. You guys are like mind readers. My uncle flew L-1011s for Saudia back in the day. He said the desert was littered with Tupelov's because they sucked so bad. Take with a grain of salt, but still.../csb
  14. I know this is a joke, but you probably know they did at one point make some of the best there ever were.
  15. Yes, but Jimi created it as basically an on the spot improvisation. SRV had a loooong time to listen, consider, and improve.
  16. Link to bass video?
  17. The one thing I'm very disappointed with Joe for is he told us he was only going to serve one term. Then he changed his mind. That effectively robbed the Dem party of a legitimate primary to get younger blood on the ballot. But that's spilled milk now.
  18. Have we talked about this yet? https://www.mediaite.com/tv/biden-appears-to-forget-name-of-black-man-defense-secretary-lloyd-austin-in-bet-interview/ This has to be it, right?
  19. I still have all those magazines. I keep telling myself I need to take them down to Half Priced because I can get all the songs tabbed out in them on my phone. Yet… Luckily they’re tucked into a secluded corner of the hizzy where Mrs. F seldom wanders.
  20. They’ve been doing that for a while. It’s like they only make guitars for the 1% now.
  21. I wonder how much it costs to operate an M60 vs an M1? I also wonder what the spare parts supply is for M60s? In any case an interesting idea.
