  1. Sound Constitutionalists all, I'm sure.
  2. the thing with an air frame is that each has a unique training, munitions, maintenance and logistics tail and some are a lot longer than others. Can the Ukrainians get as much effective utility as quickly with the 18 as the 16? That is the question that DOD needs to make a sound judgment about. And you hope that judgment is one wholly based on Ukraine's best interests and not internal DOD/vendor agendas.
  3. Tiger + Soto = Angels.
  4. Is that series Hornet or SuperHornet? I'd be surprised if the US is willing to part with any SH.
  5. I suspect there is more F16 inventory. Have to think maintenance and support reqs on 15s would be an even longer learning curve.
  6. Granted, but like everything else so far, knowing what the Ukrainians need and getting it to them has not always been the same thing. Getting HIMARS to them has been like pulling teeth. And the Germans continue to drag their feet - or foot - as one of theirs is still firmly in the "We need Russian gas more than the future of the Western World" camp. 🙈🙉🙊
  7. the danger is that the Russians up their drone game with Iranian supplies - then the Himars become vulnerable to targeting unless you can control the local sky above them. A lot more surface to air capability could provide some of the same.
  8. I’ve been traveling recently and following mostly on game day. I’m finding it provides welcome emotional detachment from watching this slow motion train wreck on live video.
  9. Runs allowed will be the story of the second half. In fact given that even if the hip is nothing serious, they can't get many more innings from Faedo and Brieske they might as well start "playing" for another high pick. But instead they will rush Turnbull and Manning trying to salvage some kind of respect out of this disaster of a season and probably fry one of them even longer term.
  10. And Brieske will shortly be up against his innings limit.
  11. The advanced artillery systems can level the playing field, but Ukraine can’t win without air power. Thomas Theiner laid out a 1 yr plan to equip an integrated Ukrainian F16 force. Should start on it yesterday.
  12. There is a lot of optimism out there but I wouldn’t advise anyone to put their money on a new president turning MI into ‘bama. Like Buddha said, it’s a huge institution with a LOT of big constituencies that don’t care about or are even hostile to revenue sports.
  13. HaHa - In MAGA land? Dream on.
  14. And Coolbaugh is *still* employed. If a guy doesn't get fired when his team is putting up century bad numbers with multiple players having career worst years, you have crossed right past Darryl Rogers level.
  15. Lead off single, dies at…….1st
  16. You can also set up secure internet access to the data on you home server. That’s what my NAS has options for. The data stays on my drives, the NAS hosts it securely to the net.
  17. FWIW-He said more about sports in his intro remarks than Schlissel did in 8 yrs
  18. I have a Asustek NAS at home that will also serve security video to me via the web privately, but I admit I don’t feel the need to set it up currently.
  19. Important that the dems keep up the drumbeat right through to the fall.
  20. That depends on whether some of our slumping ‘O’ can be laid at AJ’s feet for organizational systems he supports that may be hurting his hitters. I’m not proposing that this is the case, but it has to be admitted as a possibility that somehow this team is sabotaging its own hitters. Of course we won’t know unless/until the team either turns around on its own or AJ leaves/is replaced.
  21. well, it's half the issue. The other is that Americans practice more self destructive health behaviors completely apart from the value received for their medical dollar. We weigh too much, eat too badly, do too many drugs and are too sedentary for any health care system to return competitive value on the dollar even if we had a system that could, which of course we do not.
  22. He is a little old at 59. He can still put in 10 yrs, but I’d believe they started out looking for a somewhat younger candidate.
