The Mikoyan MiG-31 (NATO reporting name: Foxhound) is a supersonic interceptor aircraft that was developed for use by the Soviet Air Forces. The aircraft was designed by the Mikoyan design bureau as a replacement for the earlier MiG-25 "Foxbat"; the MiG-31 is based on and shares design elements with the MiG-25. The MiG-31 is among the fastest combat jets in the world. It continues to be operated by the Russian Air Force and the Kazakh Air Force following the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The Russian Defence Ministry expects the MiG-31 to remain in service until 2030 or beyond; that was confirmed in 2020 when an announcement was made to extend the service lifetime from 2,500 to 3,500 hours on the existing airframes.
The single-seat MiG-25 could achieve high speed, altitude and rate of climb; however, it lacked maneuverability at interception speeds and was difficult to fly at low altitudes. The MiG-25's speed was normally limited to Mach 2.83, but it could reach a maximum speed of Mach 3.2 or more with the risk of engine damage.
An important development was the MiG-31's advanced radar, capable of both look-up and look-down/shoot-down engagement, as well as multiple target tracking. This gave the Soviet Union an interceptor with the capability to engage the most likely Western intruders (low-flying cruise missiles and bombers) at long range. The MiG-31 replaced the Tu-128 as the Soviet Union's dedicated long-range interceptor, with far more advanced sensors and weapons, while its range is almost double that of the MiG-25.
The MiG-31 was among the first aircraft with a phased array radar, and one of two aircraft in the world capable of independently firing long-range air-to-air missiles as of 2013.
Maximum speed: 3,000 km/h (1,900 mph, 1,600 kn) / Mach 2.83 at 21,500 m (70,538 ft)
1,500 km/h (930 mph; 810 kn) / Mach 1.21 at low altitude

Before covid, I was in my early 30s. Living in the city, going places, making friends. Now I'm in my mid 30s. Pop culture doesn't make sense and I hate it, I recognize all the problematic parts of the culture I grew up with, and I'm fucking old :torment: :trump-anguish:
My first mega with the new template I think 🛬 🛫 ✈️

Just copied the nerd call from the template but yeah you right, removed
i want the new contrapoints post to be a dunk thread but as far as i can tell literally none of us were willing to actually watch it :hahaha:
So far no one has indicated to me that her videos have changed in any way from spicy radlib takes presented in extended language and interspersed with enough scene transition gags and dumb "wow im so horny wow im so drunk" jokes and skits that it takes up 50% of the video.
Its just downright exhausting to watch.
Jesus sat down with his 13 disciples at the meeting of the final supper and said that "one among us will betray me, leading to my death"
this happens almost every week with me. one time he said it three times and i was trying not to crack up
DAE suffer from extreme initiation deficit such that they literally can't stand up and go make a meal when they're hungry and sometimes go a couple days or more without food? Happens to me. I also know I need to open my mail, it's imperative if I want to keep not being homeless but it's been on the table for a week and I know I'll be screwed if I don't do it. It's just mail! But I'm locked out from being able to move on it. It's fucking weird and frightening and it will literally be the death of me. AvPD and TBI don't mix well.
So glad I'm not alone.
:ooooooooooooooh:really, it's crippling.
For me it's part of asd. I have to constantly convince people it's not laziness but problems with executive functioning. Did you always have trouble with it?
I have constant and profound problems with it (initiation deficit). I've never been diagnosed with ASD, but I know there is something fundamentally "off" with me, neurologically. I have been diagnosed with Avoidant Personality Disorder for one, but I feel like that's kind of... secondary(?) to whatever it going on with my neurodivergent brain. Maybe I am undiagnosed ASD, I don't know. Thing is, I have some other chronic health/neuro issues that compound everything so who tf knows. Sigh.
Have you found any decent coping mechanisms or avenues that lead to improvement?
I have a few things, but they aren't always foolproof. First of all, I have a person that visits every week and that helps. We drink some tea and we discuss my issues and we work on a plan/strategy/goals to overcome it.
I have issues with reaching out to people, vocalizing my problems. I'm also easily overwhelmed by responsibilities which makes me stall and avoid it. So I made a personal mental-list of stuff I can fall back to when I feel like I'm stuck. It's COPA (Communicate, Obstacles, Plans, Appointments). I just run through that when I'm overwhelmed. It helps me to engage with the situation at hand from more of a distance (mentally), so it's easier to get the ball rolling that way.
But another thing is to accept your boundaries and learn not to go over them, which isn't easy. Stress makes it worse. So try not to he super hard on yourself.
I think it's important not trying to solve problems with brute force. Take a step back and experiment with how you can make things easier and more pleasant for yourself.
Wow thank you for giving me a term for it. I have such a hard time beginning new tasks around the house, but once I get started I have absolutely no issues.
ive finally been inside one of these giant kid-killer trucks and lemme tell you
INSANE PEOPLE THESE CARS ARE FOR INSANE PEOPLE
yeah love my landboat too wide for half the road's lanes and it beeps every fuckin time you get close to a line
and then these fukin vehicles ride like shit its 2022 whats the excuse for bumpin like youre on dirt on every semi-decent street
Because they're still designed for contractors to haul stuff so the rear suspension is super hard leaf springs and you're meant to load it down. They really should just make 2 versions for the wannabe petit bourgeois posers vs people who actually work for a living. Or just make it all soft since all the contractors I know are using sprinter vans anyways.
Let's hope it gets carved up by the remaining "super powers" like post-WW2 Germany.
Culturally I think I'd do better as part of Mexico, but geographically I'm closer to Canada.
Part of me agrees with that, but then I wonder if the rest of the world will continue on and we overstate the severity of the death of America
who invented hands? fine motor control is a genius move
i can manipulate things without putting my face up to them? unreal
I barely know anything about that amber or whatever trial and I'm happy to keep it that way
i don't know what's going on but i hope johnny depp loses because he's definitely the reason this trial is happening, and therefore at fault for the state of my youtube recommendations.
You haven't seen the epic videos of Johnny Depp's epic witnesses epically owning Amber Heard's lawyers?
So much of the online left discourse is trying to answer questions that will answer themselves perfectly well with time, something like "will barbershops exist under socialism?", and the whole fight is people abstracting one word in that sentence one way and getting extremely mad at people abstracting it another way.
I am officially 4x vaccinated, and all it took was lying to the pharmacy tech’s face and saying I’m immunocompromised. I don’t think she believed me but she put the shot in my arm and that’s all that matters
Exactly! I am immunocompromised, in that my immune system was not giving me sufficient protection from covid
Another W for Communism today bois, China just beat worst Korea in a LoL international tournament for the 3rd times in a row on Korean home crowd too
On top of all of the fucked up things about college football, I just learned that big time schools use "hosts" to encourage recruits to come to their schools. Coaches hire attractive students at minimum wage to act as dates for high school kids visiting campus. They are instructed to flirt and keep in contact through skype and texting and in some cases having sex with potential star players so coaches can maintain multi million dollar contracts. Not only are they modern day plantation owners, they're also basically pimping young women. Great fucking sport you got there, murica
