All modern multi-terrain camouflage does incorporate some aspects of the Berlin pattern, particularly contrasting shadow.
* The NVA's commitment to wider WarPac strategy was questionable so the Brigade was intended to inflict both physical and philosophical damage upon them whilst fighting for their capital; once that objective was seized, it was hoped that the NVA would show little further interest in pushing westward. This was intended to reinforce the forecast reluctance of Czechoslovak and Polish forces and lead to the isolation of Soviet forces.
SAAB had originally considered the British Olympus engine for the Viggen, which would have had higher fuel consumption but faster responsiveness and no export tangles.
The Su-35 has one of the highest fuel fractions of any military aircraft at about 38% of max take-off weight. That's 9% higher than an F-22 and equates to 11,500kg of fuel.
Just conceptualise 11.5 tonnes of fuel - basically an American yellow school bus being hauled into the air by a fighter than can do Mach 2 and pull 9g.
To be fair though the F-35A has a remarkably high fuel capacity too, about 8,000kg. All that chunkiness has an advantage.
Consider the difference between removing the leg of a chair versus a stool.
I bought it from a second-hand music store years ago and when I took it up to the checkout to pay for it ( for it was the days of cash ) the cashier looked heartbroken.
"I'd been saving up to buy that," she whimpered.
I bought it anyway.
I still feel bad, but at least I've opened-up to the HN collective...
Why do you need such practice?
I'd honestly rather suffer an hour doing unpleasant cardio to burn off carbs than spending all day feeling miserable and shaky from hunger. Particularly on jobs or tasks where mental focus is essential.
Imagine being so replete with cash that after paying all your costs, all your salaries, all your R&D - you still can't find a way to spend 200 billion, so you threw a chunk of it away as tax and put the rest in the bank.
The price of a share should be utterly irrelevant to them.
We did initially wonder if it was some psychological effect of pointing a camera at him, but one night I hid behind a curtain and used the AF motor and he still shot out of the room.
Subsequent USM AF motors were silent to him and he was then content to have his photo taken.
I haven't had any problem in that regard in over 20 years of running a mail server on an old PC, on residential ISP connections. SPF, DKIM and rDNS config seemed to keep all the big players happy.
Which just made me realise I don't even have valid rDNS anymore, but it still works.

As such, successive GPS satellite antenna designs have been refined to reduce sidelobes, just as deep-space operators have realised they could be useful.
TLDR: sidelobes aren't like gentle feathering at the edges of a beam, they're more like petals of a daisy.
The quickest way to clear them seems to be pkill mosh and then reconnect. It's a known bug with no anticipated fix.
Actually it was named from the perspective of Spanish explorers. Originally Gulf of New Spain but by 1569 had become Gulf of Mexico.
To non-corporates it might look like wasted resources or gouging the users, but from the enterprise perspective it's a marvellous feature. It's basically on-premises cloud-scaling.
Shooting-down Starlink satellites is economically infeasible, never mind the fratricide it would cause to the aggressor's own LEO assets.
Both the Cessna Citation TEN and the Bombardier Global 8000 were taken supersonic during test flights, as they have to demonstrate stability at speeds of M0.07 greater than max cruise.
They aren't certificated to do it in service, but structurally and aerodynamically have no problem.
Long-range business jets have been pushing aeronautical boundaries well beyond the mundane airliner state-of-the-art.
Two-thirds of BA's Concorde regular passengers died on 9/11. The service never recovered financially from that loss.
If Facebook had created it, people would recognise the initiative to gate-keep, regulate and curate the Wild West of RSS. "They're trying to keep you inside their walled garden!"
SQL Server was originally licensed from Sybase.
I do wish that myth would die. All nuclear players during the Cold War intended to "win" at nuclear war fighting; MAD was never a doctrine.
In fact MAD was popularised by McNamara to mock the concept!
All their systems and logging are running in UTC, why can't they just give launch times accordingly.

Cotton is the antithesis of wicking - it holds moisture and chills the skin. It would be hard to find a fabric worse at wicking than cotton. It can hold liquid up to 27 times its mass.
Jeans have no practical application outside workwear, they are purely fashion.
Whilst I agree there is a societal decline, there has also always been a corporate tendency towards verbosity and opaqueness.
The old rule from the days of memos still seems to apply: ignore first paragraph, get positive / negative gist from second, learn about the impact in the third, ignore remainder.
I once started receiving spam addressed to <mybankname>@<mydomain>.org and after several instances I reported it to MyBankName.
I explained that I only used that address in my dealings with them and so it must have leaked from them.
They said that's not how email works, you have one address that you use with all your contacts. One of them must have leaked it.
I tried to explain that I used a different host portion with each company I contacted.
They said that's not how email works, you have one address that you use with all your contacts. One of them must have leaked it.
I transferred my balance out and let the account lapse.
The Soviet Alpha, Mike and Sierra classes were built from titanium. Incredibly expensive but very deep-diving and invisible to MAD.
Do you think that people who were inclined to discard bottle caps were correctly binning their bottles?
No, they were also throwing down their bottles which were more easily carried away by the rain and wind. Now, both the cap and the bottle are being washed into rivers instead of the caps being left behind. Net improvement: zero.
It's a classic example of survivorship bias. It's like the headline that bottle caps were the third most common litter on beaches - because bottles, sandwiches wrappers and crisp packets had been washed out to sea.
