Maddow on the F-22 Raptor

I know that one of those failures was caused by a pen that fell out of a crew chief's pocket and was sucked into the intake, completely fouling the engine. Foreign Object Debris(FOD) is a problem for all aircraft but I've seen lots of crap scraped out of an F-18 and some of it was probably a pen at one point. Most aircraft just chew that stuff up and you don't notice it until it's time for maintenance. This actually grounded the plane.

Also, I should point out that the F22 isn't really a "nimble dogfighter" in the traditional sense. If you're flying circles around other planes in one of these then you have failed as an F22 pilot. While it is in theory a decent dogfighter it's intended that it never be in a dogfight, having shot down the enemy aircraft long before establishing visual contact and ideally without them ever knowing where the missile came from.

Hulu Tube: Phasinig You Out of YouTube

>> ^Xaielao:
Youtube has been shit for a while now. Nothing but kids and idiots on that website. You could never have an intelligent conversation there.
Videosift ftw.


That's actually giving it more credit than it deserves. The reality is that Youtube has always been shit. For every user generated video worth watching there's easily a thousand that are a complete waste of time. If you actually sat down and tried to comb through just the user made content, the amount of garbage on that site simply is staggering. And as a quick look at the Sift's top 20 any day of the week will show you, most of what does get watched and is worth watching is not user created. Meanwhile Google continues to pour half a billion dollars a year into this bottomless hole so it can host videos for people who demand, essentially, that Google continue to lose money hosting this crap.

Now don't get me wrong. I think Youtube and what it's done for internet culture is a wonderful thing, and in a perfect world it would go on forever. We just all knew that wasn't going to happen.
