For what it’s worth, they didn’t mention Reddit either

He went full social commentary less than halfway through his career…
Quest. Monty Python and Quest for the Holy Grail.
The key comment is his last sentence.
What happened to that law?
What happens at the triple point?
Aircraft stability and control is a fascinating field.
Their maneuverability is owed to the fact that they’re somewhat unstable to begin with. It’s been literal decades since I had the class, but a good way to think of the difference between a fighter jet and a commercial jet (maneuverability wise) is that a commercial jet’s stability is like rolling a small ball in a large bowl. You’ve got a lot of leeway on what you can do before the ball won’t eventually end back up in the center of the bowl. A fighter jet is the opposite… it’s like trying to balance that small ball on top of a basketball. If you place it perfectly, it will stay in place. A touch off center, it will begin to drift further off center faster and faster until it falls off completely.
That’s why it takes so much training and physical fitness to fly fighter jets. It’s almost like they’re actively trying to kill you. And that’s not just the modern computer controlled jets like the F-35 and F-22. The older jets were like that too, but I have to imagine less so. An F-18 can’t pull a 9g turn… the F-22 can, and I also understand it can fly itself while the pilot is unconscious for a few moments after that 9g turn…
We order it with no slivered onions and substitute the diced onions they use on their cheeseburgers.
Na… that’s a convenient coincidence. Funding an effective FEMA would make the Biden administration look good. This is the same bullshit that they pulled when they killed the border deal.
Agreed, and I’m in that group (sorta)… but it doesn’t take that much travel to realize we’re all much more alike than we’re different.
This is why it’s important to travel.

Well… playing devil’s advocate here… I’d argue that DeSantis is markedly more qualified than Hegseth. DeSantis has at least performed the duties of an administrator and has an understanding of how to operate a bureaucracy.
How well he’s been able to do these things is completely up to debate. But when comparing the two to each other, DeSantis is the no brainer pick.
