    Norks' New Strategy?

    That's why there's such a thing as probability and risk management. If the probability is higher that they will use the nukes first than the probability that we will be unsuccessful in eliminating all of their nukes in a preemptive strike, it might make sense to do so. Only a Sith deals in...

    Need Advice

    Just do well in school and in everything you encounter in life. Have a plan A, plan B, and plan C. Don't be afraid to fail. Have a dream, but don't approach it with blinders on.

    I did not realize there was a big "Metallica are copy cats" movement outside of Megadeth fans never shutting up about the riffs that they retained from mustaine.

    Flight Training

    I'm probably one of those rare cases where there is not a single thing the Navy could have done to keep me. I can write a 20 point thesis as to why I was getting out, but bottomline: I was done. However, if I had been surrounded by my community constantly-- all peers, mentees, and mentors--...

    The Perpetual MEGA Space Thread

    I have this theory that the Musk meltdown of the last four years or so is because he had a massive existential meltdown when he realized that it would be impossible for humans to make it to Mars in his life time.

    The Perpetual MEGA Space Thread

    I don't think its as dumb or as brilliant as anyone thinks it is. Its probably something much simpler like time value of money. They are making launches that a more risk averse organization like NASA would have scrubbed and as a result are knocking off X number of years off the development...

    Extensive Drug History

    Here are the facts: 1.) You probably won't get a waiver if you admit all of that 2.) No one on here is going to tell you to lie 3.) No one really knows if/how/when they would catch you in a lie. 4.) "Figuring things out for yourself is one of the few freedoms we really have." - Mr. Razchak

    High Finance or Aviation - Fearful of making a choice I will regret.

    Also, the wisdom and experience of flying ten years in the Navy won't make you a better finance bro. However, what it will do will give you a ton of life experience that will make you better to handle the real world jobs versus a 20 something. You will either determine pretty quickly that the...

    High Finance or Aviation - Fearful of making a choice I will regret.

    Look at it this way: if you go in IB immediately out of undergrad you will work 80 hours a week, get paid as an analyst, and likely develop a cocaine habit. If you go into IB following 10 years flying in the Navy and then a 2 year MBA at a top school you will work 80 hours a week, get paid as...

    G.I. Joe Military Vehicles

    The figures from the late 80s/early 90s had rubber band type material holding them together at the hip joints. This made for superb mobility in an action figure, but they would not hold up to the test of time, eventually dry rotting away and the poor soldiers legs and pelvis completely...

    War in Israel

    How does this end? I'm not nearly well read up on the complexities of the region, but I feel like the Israeli response, while justified, is going to be disproportional and only lead to more Hamas support. I guess CDE is impossible with an enemy like this.

    AI Co-pilot

    I can see AI software being used to monitor and transcribe radio transmissions as a reference/backup. Is that insane? It will be easy to point out the pitfalls, but I can also see that being an enormous boon to SA.

    NEWS Sen Tuberville and Appointment Delays

    Can we look at this 3% and 30% number in context? Some quick googling put maybe 27% of the population in the 15-39 age range. So 13% of those are women? Or is that data from reproductive aged women only? Just curious. As much as I want to argue over the mindset that the majority of abortions...

    Because there exists a possibility of intelligences more advanced than ours, does not mean we toss out all of our current scientific understanding. Until strong evidence presents itself that ET intelligent life is extremely common, space and time is way too vast and empty to make it a...

    UFOs?

    There is lots to unpack here. That recognition of scale, both time and space, goes both ways in this argument. Which is where things get interesting. Fermi paradox says if intelligent life is common and the galaxy (not even considering the universe here) is so immense, why isn't there more...

    One of my takeaways from the age of sail is how impressive the amount of firepower carried by ships of the line truly was. Some quick wikipedia research yields that HMS Victory had 104 guns ranging from 12 at the small end up to 32 pounders. In comparison, the entire allied army at Waterloo...
