I know this is the OT thread so I will stay in a non political lane.
We're gonna have to do something about the number of X (twitter) posts. Like maybe limit folks to a handful per day. A lot of them are simply to poke people for a negative response. People aren't sharing their ideas...they are sharing the ideas of others who, according to their tweet analytics, are only reaching a few hundred people. I am more interested in understanding the ideas of other posters and how they think than trying to make sense of what their posting from X. I don't really care what the blathering, unsupported minority (by numbers not by social metrics) is tweeting.
Admittedly, some of the tweets shared are thought provoking, interesting, explanatory, and even humorous. But that's a small percentage compared to the total count.
Not singling any single poster out. Just asking if we can do better as a group.

End rant.

Actually, I completely agree that the tweets or Xs or whatever they call it are out of control. I’m not sure why anyone would post that stuff as automatically factual to begin with. The whole doing better as a group thing though ... odds are not good.

100% agreed. There are some posters who retweet more than they actually post.

The Latest F-15 Eagle Variant Can Go Almost Mach 3 - With Caveats

Boeing’s latest version of the storied F-15 Eagle, the F-15EX, can reach nearly Mach 3 at full throttle. The Air Force plans to buy just 104 of them.
www.forbes.com www.forbes.com

Always been my favorite jet. Grew up with USAF lithographs of F15s on my walls. Built and painted the model too. Such an amazing aircraft. The new EX versions are even better and much cheaper than the F35s and F22s. Of course they arent invisible on radar like the 22s, and can't "QB" the battlespace like an F35...but they can carry far more missiles and bombs than either, and outrun/outclimb anything in the skies. Unlike the newest version of the F18s, they aren't handicapped by piss poor range either. Just an all around incredible airframe.
