And it’s great, as usual!

Corporation controller also seems apt, since that’s what their wealth usually is.

Remember, refineries are the bottleneck not the wells and pipelines. So targeting it all on refineries has the highest impact to production.

Donating to United24 hopefully helps if you can’t volunteer yourself. Does anyone have info on how to donate to Ukraine anti oil more specifically?

My least favorite is a brown torso that breaks when you change the arms. I forgot old brown was so brittle, and felt really bad that I broke a nice chest piece. Light green Bionicle bones for the same reason, you can’t build with them much before they break.

We make a lot of sausage in meetings. Brainstorm ideas and figure out what the challenges will be. Having all five or six people there at once is much more efficient than taking back the forth to each one individually.

There are status update meetings, but those are so other people know what you’re doing so if it effects them they can work with it.

Median income or ihdi are much better indicators of people’s well-being.

The economy/gdp is just a measure of how much stuff you are making, not who is getting it.

The speed varies slightly depending on your speed and proximity to massive objects!

And the depth of focus is incredible!

I always said hypersonics are better at taking down carriers from my first comment here. But China didn’t have effective carriers. Hence why the US didn’t need them.

I said the US ones were extremely expensive, and you agreed. And that cost is the one that matters for the US.

Nuclear weapons aren’t useful in a conventional conflict by definition. So what is Zircon for if it’s not for MAD nuclear warfare and not for conventional warfare?

Just over 1 min to close 100mi. That’s actually much longer than I was thinking.

Did I ever say hypersonics were ineffective? I said they were expensive. And that stealth bombers are also effective at the ground attack role. Nothing you’ve sourced has contradicted that.

Aside from that, ballistic missiles can also get though most air defenses. MAD still works because you can’t be sure about reliability shooting down the missiles. Having even better more expensive ones doesn’t really change the math, which is why Zircon is so stupid.

Since China is now getting carriers, the US is testing hypersonics.

What system are you thinking? I’m sure the US can emulate it. Obviously systems can detect stealth aircraft if they’re right on top of them, it just makes the targeting effective radius small enough to be nearly useless. Detecting doesn’t mean much if it’s just a notification that there’s a stealth aircraft somewhere within 100mi.

The sources you gave earlier about detecting stealth are low frequency radars. And they said they’re good for detecting stealth fighters. Stealth bombers are more tuned for low frequency. (hence their goofy shape) Plus low frequency is very very difficult to get a direction to the target because of it’s scattering, it moreso just tells you there’s something there.

Kinzhal (the missile the articles are talking about) is the ballistic missile I was taking about, it’s not a hypersonic maneuvering missile.

I’m struggling with what’s the role of hypersonics if air defense penetration is already covered by the b2.

The US has tested stealth bombers against s300, because they got some. But they obviously don’t release the results publicly. They also have arrays that can emulate other capabilities like s400. So the US knows how effective stealth bombers are, and decided they were good enough at penetration not to need hypersonics. Now Congress and China getting carriers changed their mind.

When has a hypersonic missile (not the ballistic missiles strapped to planes Russia uses) penetrated heavily defended airspace? (There may be some, I know Russia definitely claims it, but I haven’t seen good proof yet)

So what missions does that mean they’re good at? Penetrating contested airspace that other attacks couldn’t?

No, what are stealth bombers good at?

Why do carpenters use hammers and screwdrivers?

Because they’re the best tools for the job

So what is the stealth bomber’s role that it is the best at?
