I use reddit for the small communities (hiking subs/fishing/outdoorsy/geek stuff), and Snapzu for general content. It's a great general content aggregator that's not full of stupid crap like the reddit front page is. Plus, people here are more willing to listen to an opposing opinion instead of just blindly upvoting the current circlejerk content from reddit.

While the comments are deplorable, I can't help but question the source... Thinkprogress is a very biased source, and I would not be surprised if any of these comments were taken completely out of context or stitched together to make them look even worse than they were

Pretty much. The aircraft at least is flying now (all three iterations), and getting it's test on, so the can iron out the initial bugs in the system. This is, after all, government procurement ;)

Well, they aren't really comparable because one is a multirole fighter and one is built to be a very fast interceptor. It's like comparing apples to oranges, but for some reason it's an accepted rhetoric.

To further expand, the F-35 (while hilariously overbudget, and underperforming, which are valid complaints), is meant to be a multirole aircraft (air and ground), and a replacement for the F15 and F16 aircraft.

The F-22 is meant as an interceptor (remember seeing those Russian bombers off the coast?) and to intercept and interdict aircraft and force them to perform/go a specific way, and also be superior in beyond line of sight fighting, since that's the world we live in

Post-rock, I assume that's a musical genre? Any good bands to listen to? (Rather than googling a generic "Post rock playlist")

Me too man (or woman), this place is sweet and I really like the layout.

Migraines are kind of a family tradition for my family, my Mother, Father and Sister all get them, and so do I. Thankfully I know my triggers (mainly crappy diet, overexercise, not enough water) and can predict what not to do, and have medicine that makes the recovery time much shorter.
