It wasn't more fuel efficient than the standard plane? Was it because of the propeller up front?

Once they have enough airframes flying with the military, the logistics side of the equation should solve itself in quick time.

This is an issue, a question of an issue, with the maximalist position. By simply using trains wherever possible and avoiding 'frivolous' travel a huge impact can be achieved on one's carbon footprint.

The scale of deep body trauma that has been done to the US will not seem clear today, but it will have dire consequences for the future trajectory of US. I am sad for this, for the current status quo I was born under, but I suppose History must happen.

>That is a great and underused method of evaluating moral judgments and I believe that it’s very suitable in this particular case.

It also dilutes the current and very real responsibilities of the 'effectors'. In saying 'they would have done the same' it becomes very easy to justify the unjustifiable.

It would be different materially. The rallying cry would be different for one.

No matter who did it, it would still be 'evil'. There would be 'good guys' and 'bad guys'. Specially when the labels would be applied to dead children and innocents under rubble. Everyone keeps forgetting them.

Just because you think they would do the same to you, does not justify your actions.

I wonder what would have happened if the Americans had taken the same approach with the Iraqis and the Afganis. As someone said, if your enemy is carrying a baby, you don't punch him through the baby, you punch around it.

The staggering number of civilian casualties, deaths and literal executions that have been inflicted in the name of peace must give the acting populace a pause. In the name of humanity. The place is just rubble now. How much more security could one country want? No one else has done something like this since the first world war.

I wonder if the Regulatory bodies and the NGOs can sufficiently express the necessity and severity of these new regulations to the high levels of radioactivity in the metal nodules. There is also the concern that mining companies may not be able to relay their concerns about the proper handling of such metals to the Governmental and Regulatory bodies in a timely and above the board manner. Over dinner at the local Social Club. This might create some consternation.

This and other recent similar articles honestly sounds like someone paid a big bag of money to a very high profile PR agency, the one used by the Middle east dictators and BP, to rehabilitate ocean mining's image and lobby the public zeitgeist.

I wonder what else comes with the Platinum knife through our morality's heart package other than nudging multiple article mills and ai wranglers to massage out their press kits.

Meaning.. people prefer bluesky to mastodon?

From the above article.

>Hergé met Chang Chong-Ren for the first time in Brussels in 1934 at the urging of one Abbé Gosset. Gosset, the chaplain to a group of Chinese Catholic students at Louvain University, had been concerned about the racist stereotypes in Hergé’s first two hugely popular Tintin books, Tintin in the Land of the Soviets and Tintin in the Congo, and urged him to ‘do a little research’ before embarking on his next book, The Blue Lotus, set in China.

Development costs of what? The trashcan? What could possibly have cost them 50,000xplane frames to develop it in the first place?

The reading of the article implies the contract set prices for commercial items and Boeing simply started charging the army whatever as soon as it technically wasn't 'commercial'.
