> the tail arrangement is made to block the IR from most angles.

I'm no expert, but the exhaust doesn't look hidden to me.

A missile (surface to air) usually sees the airplane from behind and below. This image [1] is an example. Even from a side, while the horizontal stabilizer partly covers it, you can still clearly see the exhaust [2].

Compare that to A-10 engines and stabilizer. This image [3] is from the same angle as [1]. The engine exhaust is completely behind the horizontal stabilizer. This image [4], same angle as [2], shows the engine exhaust covered by vertical stabilizer.

A-10 is not the same type of plane, but just by looking at the differences, I very much doubt that they even tried to hide the exhaust in F-35.

> You also can't see the hot engine inlet because again, it is hidden behind other bits.

Engine inlet isn't hot.

Would that be reproducible / replayable?

But there's no oil to gain in Cuba, no stock market interests, and no pushing from Israel. So, why would he do that?

Because it feels like a quick win?

That's what I'm saying. There's nothing to win.

I agree with you that this is just temporary, but for entirely different reasons. I think that stock market fluctuations are making some people very very rich. It's the same game as they did with the tariffs on/off every week and it's not over yet.

> so we don’t have to pay a toll for an international waterway

I don't think it was international. I think it was 50% Iran's and 50% Oman's.


Too bad legal persons can't be executed.

Hurting with words via live speech is one thing. A website amplifies it and makes it permanent.

When people say stuff, only other people around them hear, and even then it can be denied. When people write things online, what they write is public for everyone to read, and it's permanent, forever screenshotted and reposted.


Lack of moderation was the real issue with the site.

I mean ppl could contact me if they wanted anything removed… several people did too

But people did contact you. Many people. And you told them all you wouldn't take anything down.

The most constructive feedback I can come up with you is to think of other people's feelings before doing anything, and don't do anything at scale until you've proved that you can do this. Failing that, learn how to fight. You are too skinny to be this selfish.

It's too late. Content was already distributed the moment it was posted.

Not only it's too late, but when that guy asks, the reply was "bitch come suck my dick".


So people had to know your site before they can get anything removed.

That’s not the right way to do it, just like Facebook‘s shadow profiles.

You want to use my data, you ask first.


That's literally how most platforms work.

No, most platforms require that the user creates an account don’t scrap data do create them without consent.

What you mean are spammers who scrap web pages for email addresses to sent unwanted mails.


No. Im not going to ask. That data was public bro, and data, man it was just your name. Come on. I hate this “my data” bs

> If you don't give the app any permissions, it doesn't spy on you either.

What about the other apps? What about the phone itself?


The guy already has a phone. Flip phones still track your location.

If you don't want other apps, don't install other apps.


>The guy already has a phone. Flip phones still track your location.

Locations from flip phones have to be triangulated. Smartphones track more precise locations and a lot more than just location data.


Great. If you're that paranoid, only turn your phone on to buy the tickets and when you're at the stadium. And don't use it for anything else.

This dude has previously paid hundreds of dollars per year because he wanted custom-printed tickets. He can pay a hundred for a cheapo Android to use exclusively for tickets and not give up any privacy at all, if he's more paranoid about tracking than the other 99+% of the population who uses smartphones just fine.


You need a bigger cursor.
