US Politics: Full Transp██████

I think we can nominate Trump for "ouchie of the week" now.

Kevlar? The fridge? VOIP? Radium?

You’re coming across as a bit of an inbred insular vaalie type, you know?

Marie Curie was probably a tranny, I suppose. Stealing men's research and inventions.

Generous.

 

[Sapphiron]

That is still mostly true. Ayn Rand is probably the best women philosopher and it it rehashed, very superficial and shallow. Not saying she is wrong about everything, it is a good starting point.

What's the best female invention? Leggings? Like yoga pants?

All people are made for sex it is a important part of the human condition. It's how we make more of us. That is the primary evolutionary function of a woman.
If you have functioning genitalia you are made for sex.

I guess you don't value electric refrigeration and modern computing much do you.

Clearly not essential components of modern life.

Women didn't invente modern computing or refrigeration.

 

[Sapphiron]

Women didn't invente modern computing or refrigeration.

Heard of Ada Lovelace? Invented the first algorithms used by modern computers.

Or Grace Hopper. Inventor of the first compiler and the COBOL language.

Or Radia Perlman, inventor of the Spanning Tree Protocol that the modern internet runs on.

Or Hedy Lamarr, invented frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology that is essential in modern wireless communications.

Saying woman did not invent anything important is as idiotic as saying men did not invent anything important.

Take the smoothbrain, incel monkey ideas of male superiority back to the trees.

The fridge? Lol


Don't lie dave. We all have the internet. It isn't the early 1990's anymore.

The electric fridge

Five inventions by women that have changed our daily life in the kitchen - Silestone Institute

The fridge An essential appliance in our kitchens today that ensures the food we store is kept in a good condition. Since the beginning of history, humans have searched for ways to preserve food. So, what’s the history of the fridge? At the beginning of the twentieth century (specifically in...

silestoneinstitute.com

At the beginning of the twentieth century (specifically in 1914), Florence Parpart invented the modern electric fridge. A predecessor of today’s appliance, it brought about a true revolution when it came to conserving and cooking food. Parpart also received a patent for a much improved street-cleaning machine in 1900, which she negotiated and sold to cities throughout the United States.

Reverse engineering is a thing, if they can get access to the underlying systems and any changes are adequately tested, it's doesn't sound that far fetched.

But yeah, am sure you are in a much better position to say what pilots are willing to do than the Dutch defence minster who has actually served in the armed forces.

I spent more time in the armed forces than Breukelmans.

Especially since he NEVER served in the armed forces at all.

 

[TheMightyQuin]

Iranian pilots did it all the time with their F14s and F4 phantoms. They had to jailbreak the flight and targeting systems.

Necessity is the mother and all that.

1979 tech vs today's.

Sure let them do it then. Rather them than me.

And I bet you with 100% certainty that they will NOT do it. Not in today's "health and safety first" climate in politics.

 

[TheMightyQuin]

Are you referring to our Afrikaner friends

Have they been back in SA for holidays?

Don’t you read the posts that you’re arguing about, Quimy?

Dutch Defense Minister Says F-35 Fighter Jet Software Could Be “Jailbroken” Like an iPhone

Dutch Defense Minister Gijs Tuinman has said it may be possible to “jailbreak” the F-35 fighter jet’s software, comparing the process to bypassi

wonderfulengineering.com

In 1998, he went to the Royal Military Academy in Breda. In 2001, he became a platoon commander in the Korps Commandotroepen. By 2009, he had been on at least five deployments to Afghanistan, several to Africa and other missions. On 7 October 2009, for a mission in 2006, he was awarded the Bronze Lion, the second highest military decoration awarded by Queen Beatrix.

From 2009 to 2012, he worked as a special operations policy advisor at the Ministry of Defence in The Hague.

How can a person have 5 deployments to Afghanistan and have military awards without military service?

Don’t you read the posts that you’re arguing about, Quimy?



How can a person be a Lt-Colonel and have military awards without military service?

Focus less on your infantile wordplay and look at the following:

1. That link does not work.
2. Breukelmans is the current Minister of defence, hence my response.
3. Gijs Tuinman was a brilliant soldier and a Kommando, so no doubts he kicks ass. And he is the current Secretary of Defence. Doesn't make him a specialist on the reverse engineering and jailbreaking of fighter jets.

Hacking F14's in Iran in the late 70's has absolutely fukkall relevance on the systems of today.

It won't happen, regardless of any rabid anti-Trump rhetoric.

The link works fine.

So you just wanted to act as the “confused idiot” and talk about the wrong person?

You should try gain a bit more education in English comprehension.

Tuinman has far more military experience than you, unless you’re Cosmik Debris in disguise?

Branch/service	Royal Netherlands Army
Years of service	1998–2012, 2013–2023

Hacking F14's in Iran in the late 70's has absolutely fukkall relevance on the systems of today.

so the Israeli F-35i is also “late 70”s” then?

It won't happen, regardless of any rabid anti-Trump rhetoric.

Have you considered applying for a position on Sesame Street?

Sure and the enigma code was unbreakable.

you got all of history against you on this one. if you make such extraordinary claims, you need some extraordinary evidence

Also, dont you think as defence minister with a long career in the military, HE MIGHT KNOW PEOPLE?

The link works fine.

Now it does, suddenly. When I clicked on it 3 times, all failed.

So you just wanted to act as the “confused idiot” and talk about the wrong person?

@Cray was confused and talked about the wrong person, not me.

You should try gain a bit more education in English comprehension.

Nah, mate. This nonsense doesn't fly...at least try when you attempt insults or whatever this may be.

Tuinman has far more military experience than you

Now you're just repeating what I already said. Your comprehension seems to be failing you a bit.

so the Israeli F-35i is also “late 70”s” then?

Iranian engineers kept their F-14 Tomcat and F-4 Phantom fleets operational after U.S. support was cut off in 1979

You're al over the place at this stage...desperately keeping your dream of hacking fighter jets in 2026, alive.

Maybe post another insignificant grainy picture of some Howitzer being fired? That should get your military clout right back up there again. We all know that you are the ultimate GV here...hahaha.

Have you considered applying for a position on Sesame Street?

I assume this is yet another silly anti-Trump quip or something? You're the expert in that field, not me.

Trump latest: UK responds to latest tariffs move - as Starmer challenged to sue the president

Donald Trump has said the new global tariff rate on imports to the US will be 15%, not the 10% he previously announced. It's the maximum rate he can impose under existing legislation after the Supreme Court ruled his previous levies were illegal. Follow the latest.

news.sky.com

The US Supreme Court has handed down its decision on Donald Trump's tariffs. In a blow to the president's administration, the government could now face a massive outlay to refund taxes it collected from the levies.

The US Constitution grants Congress the power to set tariffs, and challengers argue Trump exceeded his authority.

The Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, heard nearly three hours of oral arguments in November and gave few indications of how it might rule.

But the court has now struck down the tariffs, meaning the administration could face huge financial consequences.

Trump had warned the US will need to "unwind" trade deals if it loses the case and warned of a "complete mess".

Told ya so...

Pay back the money!

Trump had warned the US will need to "unwind" trade deals if it loses the case and warned of a "complete mess".

Some actual facts:

• The ruling specifically targets only the broad "Liberation Day" tariffs (initially 10% or higher)
• Duties imposed under other specific laws, such as Section 232 (National Security) for steel and aluminum and Section 301 for unfair trade practices, remain in effect as they rely on different statutory authorities.
• The decision did not mandate immediate refunds.

 

[TheMightyQuin]

More nonsense that do not contain all the actual facts.
