  • Did one get shot down? I remember one got hit but was able to make it back to a friendly base. They don’t have kill switches. That’s a myth. The maintenance spare parts are entirely controlled by the US so they could just cut you out of spare parts. With such a maintenance intensive jet, that would ground your fleet quickly with no need for the huge security risk of a killswitch. That’s more to your third point though and doesn’t have to do with performance.

    Overall I think the F35 is a great fighter jet but plenty of countries should reject it purely to maintain greater controll of their own sovereignty. Also, with drones and loyal wingmen, air combat is evolving rapidly. It isn’t a great time to heavily invest in the best of the last generation.








  • Give the bike a test ride and make sure it fits you. The main problem will be if the bike is too big. Too small is better than too big.

    The other consideration is condition. You want to make sure the shifting work through all the gears. There’s no visible rust. Make sure the drivetrain doesn’t squeak or creak. Make sure you can’t jiggle the cranks side to side. Make sure the brakes work. Make sure you can adjust the seat height. Seatpost can get seized in the frame sometimes.

    If you don’t have to worry too much about hills, I recommend a single speed bike. There’s no gears to worry about and single speed chains are more robust.



  • It would have been intuitive if…

    One issue I see with suggestions is that everyone thinks their a designer. What they suggest might even be an improvement for that one small tool but would make the overall experience less intuitive. Overall, I think OSS should cater to their existing users plus a little bit more. Make the experience better for the people who really want to try to use it but eventually give up in frustration. Over time, it will improve and the user base will increase.

    I think this is a needlessly combative stance. If your goal is to get new users to engage with the development side, calling their criticism “bitching” isn’t going to do that. Most software users don’t have the first clue about software development and wouldn’t even know what exactly to say if given a suggestion form. The best feedback a lot of new users can give is “the user experience is clunky and unintuitive”.
