    Ad hominem synecdoche; fun to say but not very convincing.

    We current are using 2/3 of the capacity for air groups on the super carriers so that argument is less convincing. You still need the support ships period.

    Dash speed is bullshit, out running a torpedo may be possible but only if it was fired a the stern and the carrier group had totally failed in its job. Find an example of when they have used it ever and I will mea culpa.

    With 10 super carriers and 3.5 average currently operational with a 10 year refueling time you are not the least bit convincing. Even if the carrier were 1/2 the cost you could have 7 concurrently operational or even 2 carriers per current group.

    You give no data and no examples so I just don't believe you.

    The point is not the de Havilland Mosquito itself as that is that is a prima facie ridiculous example. The real point is single expensive or many inexpensive. The proof that his was right is the drone is in service everyday in every hot spot and our pilots were refusing to fly our top of the line fighter until very recently. Complexity theory is a bitch. Putting all your eggs in one basket is a bad idea. Making your basket cost a measurable amount of GDP is insane. Making your basket nuclear but still needing another 10 support baskets that limit its speed and supply its eggs with yoke defeats the purpose of having it nuclear! What part of this is complicated? You cannot outpace your support ships. Is your only point to pick at the example or do you really disagree with the thesis? Defend limited quantity super expensive vs cheap and plentiful.

    It would never work (and I never claimed it would) Spruce bud worm has been a bitch on the industry. Either way you win for the only informed sounding response. Also of note to the detractors my point wasn't the specific example but the idea. Is many decent devices better than one OMEGASUPERAWSOME device? Perfect is the enemy of the good. Also you all might not that the drone is the de facto air force now.

    You are obviously not part of the military industrial complex! Fuck effective go expensive every time. For the price of one nuclear carrier we could have 50 diesel carrier groups with planes. I know professor that showed that for the price of 1 F14 you could equip a squadron of DeHavalin mosquitoes with Phoenix missiles. Stealth because they are made out of wood and 50 guided missiles will ace any fighter pilot in the sky.

    Ahh the voice of ignorance. I once hosted an Earth Dance where the promoter gave every one who came a hit or two of CP liquid LSD. I know what the differnce between good and bad is. The basis of a good trip classically requires set and setting, purity aside. All things that I am competent at controlling. What I am saying is that LSD was a mistake with a side effect, Shulgin created hundreds of substances tested them evaluated them and recommended them. Why use a stone hammer to do prostrate surgery when you have gamma ray knife? Look at the chemical structure of LSD vs DMT which one is more likely to be broken down cleanly in the synaptic gap when it the brain is done with it?

    As a fan of hallucinogens let me just say LSD is COMPLETE shit. Just because Freud was the first psychologist doesn't mean Freudians are going to help you with you mental issues. Just because LSD was the first hallucinogen doesn't mean you should take it. It is a rough large dirty molecule that make you see things but can make you VERY unhappy. I liken it to this video. Old shit may look good but it isn't always the best choice.

    If you want to get high their are many choices. Choose one that matches your goals. Choose one with limited side effects. Choose one with a duration that works for you.

    As to traditions they are just a crutch. If you are thoughtful and have a goal in mind for your experience and don't have preexisting conditions you don't need religion to ease you into this stuff.

    LSD is like a filthy hammer bashing your brain out sure you see stars but the next day is rough. Shulgin went to the point of creating psychoactives tailored to visual or auditory only. LSD was discovered by mistake, and opened up a new world of pharmacology. Shulgin understood the systems and created purposefully, there is a HUGE difference.

    They are literally dumping the money because the contract was not based on delivering a 'completed project.' What ever state attorney who did that needs his balls kicked. The governor's assertion that a reasonable person would assume that any project would be completed shows his lack of legal expertise, their are no false advertising claims because a "reasonable person" would have to believe those claims but according to the case law "no reasonable person would believe ANY advertising" therefore, "get fucked."
