Some of those bags are still on the moon today, in the lockers on the descent stages where they were left.

Obviously, this is why you should keep your habeas attorney on retainer at all times. (/s)

The planes are adaptable, multirole fighters that can, in fact, fly in all sorts of conditions. The problem is the ratio of maintenance hours to flight hours is really high. I was once quoted that it was an amortized $12k just to turn it on bring the engine to idle, and turn it off again.

Given that reality, in peace time, many operators will pick and choose when and where they fly. In wartime, of course, the way economy will either expand to handle the maintenance, or (more likely, imo) designs will pivot to something more manufacturable and maintainable.

Isn't that similar to the shit that got Turkey kicked out of the F35 program?

If that's a Tomcat, where's that lizard's RIO?

They've had individual -bin versions of a few big builds, like firefox, chromium, and libreoffice for basically forever.

They had something called distcc for a long time too. That let you, the user, cross-compile packages on one machine for installation on different machine(s).

But at the end of 2023, they dramatically expanded the system, adding configuration machinery to install $packagename from source or binary (i.e. not like firefox and firefox-bin). And they set up the server infrastructure to host a much larger number of official binary packages for amd64 and arm64. Around the same time they added a "distribution kernel" as an ebuild, so users no longer had to "compile it yourself". And I think the dist-kernel is now available as a binary.

We really do not want to get that guy started on the mess of Antarctic territorial claims.

You should know: there is no formal definition of "domestic terrorist" in US law. Such a definition would fairly immediately run into problems with the right to free association guaranteed by the Constitution if it existed.

It is a crime to provide material support to foreign terrorist organizations, and the State Department maintains a list of such proscribed organizations. But that list only covers foreign orgs, by law.

OP needs to counter-notice this shit.

Well, and then you need a US customary mass unit when you're designing the things.

Introduce the slug, not to be confused with a pound-mass (lbm), which is distinct from pound-force (lbf).

And then you can start building inertial moments in slug-ft^2.

Gentoo has optional binary packages now.

Nautical miles. The mile that's actually useful.
