Thieves tipped off by a bank employee that this guy was making a withdrawal??

Only one person owns token 2537 at a time, as recorded in the public block chain (ie the record of all transactions). If someone tried to make a new NFT that was token 9999, and that token claimed ownership of 123 oak rd, then token 9999s creation would be rejected because 2537 already exists

The A-10 has been fielded against Russian tech pretty much continuously since the '70s when it came out. Time and time again, over 50 years of fighting, in every conflict that the A-10 flies from the Gulf War to Afghanistan, the aircraft proves its suitability for CAS.

By what possible metric could you be calling it a "sitting duck"...?

I don't feel like 1 and 3 are contradicting. Perhaps the IT was ambiguous? To clarify, I was saying:

The F-22 was cancelled under Obama so they could pump the F-35, not because F-22 wasn't effective or because F-22 was too expensive.

I'm saying that financially it made more sense to continue to produce and refine the F-22 because that's cheaper than making something new like the F-35.

the government realized they would get more bang for their buck from the F-35 program than continuing fulfillment of the F-22.

They wouldn't, they didn't, and they won't. Switching to the F-35 was a political decision rather than a strategic or financial one. At this point if they make and sell enough F-35s it will be OK, buy financially speaking this was a suboptimal choice.

There’s a reason why we can sell the F-35 to allies but not the F-22.

Indeed there is. The F-22 is decidedly more capable in a few key areas. A nation with a dozen of them could wield significant regional power, assuming they had the pilots, resources, and supply line to maintain them. And that's not something in our interests.

Um, that I've worked with A-10 pilots IRL

I've worked with A-10 pilots, F-16 pilots, F-18 pilots, F-35 pilots, and one retired F-14 pilot. They all say the same thing:

"I love the [insert-my-jet-name-here]. It is the best. The other ones do [insert-some-other-role-here] a little better sometimes, but mine is still preferable because of [insert-platform-specific-advantage-here]."

What I found interesting is while they all talked up their own aircraft, they rarely denegrated the others too badly, all acknowledging the other aircraft indeed had a purpose and a role. (Though I'll say the F-14 pilot, while acknowledging that his aircraft was obsolete, had some mad shit to talk about the F-18)

So when I hear people saying "A-10 is shit" it sounds just as retarded as saying that about the F-16 or the F-35.

But it does survive on the modern battlefield. Quite well in fact.

There's a lot I disagree with in your post.

1. The F-22 was cancelled under Obama so they could pump the F-35, not because it wasn't effective or because it was too expensive. The development of the F-22 was complete and the tooling was in place. The program was at the stage where the more they made, the lower the cost of each individual jet would be. Cancelling the program made no sense.

2. While it's true that some aircraft are more expensive than others, the overall purchase and maintenance costs largely are on par with each other. How could this be, you ask, when there are much older jets that should be way cheaper? Well, older jets get constant upgrades so to be honest we don't really have any "old" jets. And upgrading and maintaining previous-gen aircraft costs money just as much as procuring and maintaining new ones.

3. It is definitely, 100%, without a doubt, WAAAAAY CHEAPER to continue to upgrade currently existing airframes than it is to make a new one. The logistics of developing, producing, and fielding a new jet is staggering.

4. Unless you want to go back to the days where the US suffers casualties in the thousands per battle, air superiority is a requirement rather than a nice-to-have. And no, it's not expensive propaganda. No country can match what we make and what we do. Some may have the expertise but not the funds, others the reverse. Our training programs are second to none, and our hardware is tested, iterated, reiterated, sharpened, hardened, and tested all over again before the first day it's even fielded -- all these problems you hear about (while bad sounding) happen to ALL aircraft under development, and other countries simply don't have the resources to be as dilligent about fixing them as we do.

The nature of the transaction itself records what the token represents and who owns it. Just like bitcoin, it's recorded on the block chain, so unless you can overpower the combined computing power of 50% of all that block chain mining it can't be fraudulently changed.

Not if each individual unit of currency is backed by a different unique asset, ie one quarter is backed by my house, and another quarter is backed by your house. They both definitively have value, but they are not fungible.

Yes. Exactly.

The resource itself is not made artificially scarce. The designation of ownership is given scarcity.

That makes no sense. Non fungible means one isn't interchangeable with the other. How is it fungible if you can assign ownership of, say, a house with it?

I'd love to know the psychology behind situations like this. You do something, then a horrible result occurs, then you acknowledge the horrible result, insist it was the right choice, and encourage others to do it too.

Are people truly so resistant to just silently saying to themselves "I have made a mistake"...?

Let's say it was.

Ok, what happened to flight 77?

"Precious creatures"

LOL deer are vermin

Before covid and the 2020 election I'd ignore 9/11 deniers as loons and assholes, but now, ok I'll bite:

Assuming a plane did NOT crash into the Pentagon, what are you suggesting happened to AA#77?

Speak for yourself. I don't participate or support that behavior, nor do I agree with your 25% figure

You're retarded

Yeah except we aren't lying or suppressing info or communication. This is very much Not a "we all do it" situation.

No credit. You've got to be a fucking fool to celebrate anything that Kemp / Carr / Raffensperger do.

These people will go after anyone and anything hurting their agenda or damaging their power in GA. This action by Carr serves two purposes:

1. punish the group going after their crooked cop-land pet project

2. validate and normalize RICO charges in the state of Georgia just in time for Trump's trial

Good message, dumb meme. Why drop pepes face on top of hitler?

Fuck off stormtard

Observe negative portrayal of conservatives in the media

Self-identify as a conservative (anonymously OFC)

Ridicule non-conservatives in a way that fulfills the negative media portrayal of conservatives

Stormtard playbook right here. Written by feds, for feds.

I feel like this is eerily similar to the plot of one of the Robocop movies
