Patrick Chovanec@prchovanec.bsky.social · 4h agoThis is absolutely ridiculous. For all its potential pitfalls, the Ford aircraft carriers are built entirely around the EMALS system, and "replacing" it with steam catapults - which require large amounts of space and personnel - is simply not a realistic option. www.wsj.com/us-news/trum...

It is very funny that Robert Jordan kept coming back to “women hang out topless when we aren’t around, right?”
Faqa@faqa.bsky.social · 8h agoIt mainly comes down to "Women are in charge, but in a hot way. Also their dominance means they get their tiddies out a lot (like '3 separate independent cultures' a lot)".
Iran, the country that keeps hitting ships in the Strait of Hormuz, is all talk and no action, says the man who keeps threatening escalation and then backing down at the literal last minute
