NixOS - Queer kid who gets 10/10 at every written test, but stutters so badly that they can’t do anything when asked to improvise in front of class or at speaking tests.

Based on Ubuntu, so: also Debian

I think the Gripens are mostly good at operating in austere conditions. Snowy roads for runways, short distances, quick turnaround with one professional crew chief and a few conscripts, low operating cost per hour, etc.

You know, the most boring but most important part of warfare: logistics.

The French have (had?) a bit of a reputation in electronic warfare. I remember reading about (3rd gen) Mirage F1s (maybe it was Mirage 5) with Barrax jamming pods absolutely beating the shit out of fresh new 4th gen F-16A in the 80s in exercises, due to their jamming pods and BVR capabilities. Dassault still claim that their Rafale’s EW system is good enough to provide some sort of stealth.

But I don’t think anything made in Europe today gets close to what the US and Israel are doing in Electronic Warfare.

Eurocanard fighter wants to go up -> canard pushes nose up like a boss

F-35 wants to go up -> elevator pushes tail down -> AoA increases -> nose goes up

Saab Gripen.

Not to be confused with the much more expensive twin-engined Eurocanards Dassault Rafale and Eurofighter Typhoon

What is the F-35C doing in the popular club? The Canadians wanted an F-35 with a refuelling probe and a shorter landing roll, and they would sooner throw a chute and a probe on an F-35A than get a Charlie. Even the USN only got it because they were forced to, and clearly prefer their Super Hornets.

Nobody likes you, F-35C

Meanwhile Elf Ears has scored with Czech Republic, Hungary and Brazil. And the sexy but truly unbearably arrogant French gal has scored with Croatia, Egypt, Greece, India, Qatar.

Frømandskorpset sounds Danish. Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Are you aware of the Greenland news this week?

Windows XP… such expressive, truly material-like, design, only Vista comes close. But XP ran so much better.
