3 years is a very short amount of time for trying to make a new plane reliable.

Yeah, it should have been acquired by now; A prototype Kaan as testbed is completely out of the question, as you need a very safe platform to test, with reinforced airframe and such and you need also a testbed that you can push to its limits with very experienced pilots. None of these factors...

That's actually how most testbeds are. They use safe tried and true engines of the testbed itself in one position and mount the other with the test engine.

It's alright. Forgot to mention that you are right that many other factors are involved. Mate choice is not as simple as I make it out to be and resource accumulation also doesn't necessitate patriotically as such, but you gotta do toy models first to then be able to engage with nuances.

Within the purview of primatology, the mate choice lies with females in a neutral environment, because women make almost all of the investment in the reproduction process. Competition is between males. Cultural practices stemming from neolithic farming transition which facilitated accumulation...

But I'd like to hear more about what you mean here. I think I kind of understand but if you elaborated more concretely I'd understand more what is meant by this. I think this is an important issue, which will be a deciding factor in politics of many countries in the coming decades as this war...

Maybe you're right, but in my experience the idea of having this ideological reaction based on perceived privileges is too high-brow of a reason. I think humanity works more viscerally. From my personal experience the frustration and the trend is specific to very young men and very young women...

Meaning since females choose which male to be with (unless economic independence trends reverse), it's the males who will have to meet females where they stand in the end. They might resist for a while, but resistance will be futile and their hands will be forced. This will not happen to one...

Many don't realize that this is an anthropological dilemma created mostly by the Internet and neo-liberal economic order which influences residence patterns, and the reinforcement role that social media algorithms play in solidifying default gender-specific attitudes has sped this up. If...

Good stuff, keep it going boys! Free Texas. YEEHAW.

I agree with many points here as I was not arguing that Pax Americana is going to stay here for centuries. That sentence was about west's power. Pax Americana as a political order is already in its death throes, and will be dead in a decade or two. What I was arguing was that in the ensuing cold...

All China is trying to do by making it seem like they are very aggressively and possibly militarily pursuing unification is to create a fear of imminent invasion of Taiwan in U.S., making them slowly retreat from positions feigning military support for Taiwan; since China knows an engagement...

My hopes are in the same lines; hopefully we see a parallel to what happened in second Annan plan where our stupidity almost cost us gravely, only to be retaliated with a counter-stupidity from the other side that rescued us. U.S. senate might be led to believe they are hurting us by blocking...

We learned unimaginable amounts of know-how because of our participation in the program up until when we were kicked out, and we were slated to learn much more. This has been claimed by many "insiders", "engineers", "pilots" etc.

Actually Beyaz Eşya is a calque from White Goods in English, which also exists in german as Weiße Ware.

People in the middle-east should stop looking at the Iran question from the lens of U.S. attitude towards Iran (which engenders unwarranted sympathy), and start looking at it from the lens of regional power struggle, clash of cultures, and, very similar to the case of Israel, excessive levels of...

Is it me, or does anybody else see that Dizayee's face looks distinct from the faces around in terms of color balance, lighting, etc., his coat looks cartoonish and his body seems out of place too. The most damning thing looks like the shadows on his left arm and around it which suggest it has...

the problem is people impart and assume a wholly excessive amount of rationality, planning, consistency and prescience on the part of any government, particularly the government of U.S. and its political institutions, when no such assumptions are borne out of nor the realities of culture...

Although this is to our advantage, I predict it to be probably short-lived as Maldives will come to learn the wisdom of Vajpayee when he said: "You can't choose your neighbors". A wisdom much lacking in Ukraine.

I mean if Pakistan doesn't respond this emboldens this rogue country to just throw rockets willy nilly wherever it wants.
