The key thing you’re missing here is that the programming of the ECM pod, the thing that makes the F-35 able to do what it does, the thing it’s just an average 6th gen fighter without, is only done by US personnel.
Even if you could make the entire plane locally, parts wise, the US will not ever give out the pod code. Ever.
Because without it, the plane is worth less than nothing, it’s a liability.
About as long as is possible with the doors welded shut from outside, I guess.
The point was, that isn’t possible. If everyone is too poor to consume, their system stops, and they aren’t rich anymore.
Long term, the snake is eating it’s own tail. What happens when it gets to it’s own head? It chokes to death (and scavengers pick over the corpse).
Either they’re too stupid to know what happens at the end, or they’re stupid enough to think they can jump off the ride with the loot before it crashes.
In neither scenario would I want to be living that close to the coming chaos.
That isn’t possible. Time is as part of space as the other dimensions. Time is distorted by mass, just like space.
You can’t move “purely on the Y axis” any more than you can move “purely on the time axis”, or vice versa.
Off topic: Why is it a new idea that the observed motion of the universe around us is affected by “faster time” in denser areas of space? Why is that not blindingly obvious? Bwuh?
Selling to who?
If the masses are penniless serfs, who is going to buy the services provided? One of the other 8 billionaires who own the country?
They really haven’t considered the longer term here. Ultimately, they’ll be kings of a worthless backward shitheap, despised and shunned by the international community, their best and most promising exfiltrated to the rest of the world then fenced off to rot into obscurity.
Like North Korea, more or less.
In one respect, Hillary Clinton was right. How she named the seething mass of ignorant hatred was spot on.
The Deplorables.
Hilarious, isn’t it?
The writers of this timeline couldn’t even come up with new material.
This timeline is itself AI slop. Prove me wrong.
Technocracy
noun
the government or control of society or industry by an elite of technical experts.
No mate, this is plutocracy. Technocracy implies knowledge, expertise, and facts dictating policy and direction. What you have is greedy rich fucks wanting yet more.
There is a fundamental difference.
It’s for an LR drone. What people use for pushing the range limits on a quad. The 25mW Walksnail challenge for example.
Well, kinda. They’d make their own from bulk cells, but you get the idea 💛
“Retire”?
He’s still a “thing”. People were stanning the cunt just last week for installing Linux on his new gaming PC FFS.
This timeline is a fucking crass joke.
Calling bullshit on that battery info RE: FPV drones matey.
That’s a 4000mAh 4s Li-Ion pack. No racers use Lithium Ion, and definitely not 4AH.
That’s a long range FPV pack, and it’ll go for about half an hour to an hour on an appropriate LR quad.
A typical racing machine will run on 6s 1300-1500mAh Li-Po packs which are significantly lighter and smaller than your provided link, as well as higher voltage.
Stupid does as stupid is.

And not all men are predators, and not all drug users are addicts.
What’s your point?
Not in my experience.
“Weird Shit” is always a possibility when there’s any power at all in the system. The PSU will keep low level power supplied for a surprisingly long time after being unplugged from the mains. 💛
EHCI (system config) data was corrupt. Possibly from pulling the GPU while the motherboard board still had power (or residual power in caps).
CMOS wipe resets to blank and that data gets rewritten after BIOS runs the “wtf is plugged into me” routines triggered by blank data.
That’d be my guess.
But they’re winning! And fucking over “the libs” at the same time!
You don’t have to be sneaky, just not fucking miss like the gormless cretin that last tried.
As I’ve said elsewhere the ECM pod updates can only be done by US staff. Without this week’s pod frequencies to hit the latest radar frequencies, the plane is a liability in the air because of it’s cost.
There is no way the US is going to code “enemy” planes’ ECM.
The F-35 program may well flatline from this upset.
