re: How much of what we're seeing now is directly because of F-35?

Such a good fighter that the F-35 is beating it in every metric while the 22 is relegated to performing rearguard missions or in the case of previous conflicts as a stealthy AWACS platform.
The F-22 is faster, more maneuverable, and has a smaller radar cross-section. It is better in every metric than the F-35 except for ground attack, which in the modern world where 99% of our missions involve attacking hostiles that have minimal or no capability to fight back with manned aerial assets is all we need. If Iran had fighters that could out dogfight F-35s, I promise you the F-22s would be tip of the spear clearing the airspace for them because that is what they are designed to do, pummel the enemy air assets into the tarmac for the F-35s to proceed to drop JDAMs and GBUs on.

It's not an either or discussion.
Agreed, but why would we legally prohibit F-22 sales if not for thinking that the F-22 is more important and better than the F-35? We're basically saying that we don't mind allies having top of the line SEAD and ATG attack capabilities, but worlds-best air superiority fighters are for us alone.

It goes to show you what plane we think is more important to our ariel defense strategy, the best thing about the F-35 is its ability to stealthily deliver our advanced weapon systems. Against threats like Iran, that is only slightly more strategically useful than an F-15E doing the same job, as Iran's AA radar and SAM capabilities are marginally effective at best, we're basically comparing minimal casualties with F-15Es vs no casualties with F-35s, and if we want the F-35s to remain stealthy they can't carry nearly the ordinance of F-15Es as you can't mount ordinance on the F-35s external hardpoints and retain stealth capability. The best thing about the F-22 is its ability to rapidly achieve air superiority/supremacy and completely ground an enemies Airforce in no time. In a near peer conflict with say Russia or China, one is much more impactful than the other. 1 sortie of F35s can only do so much damage to these adversaries, a sortie of F22 can eliminate a huge portion of their SU-57 and J-20s respectively, which greatly reduces their defensive capabilities allowing non-stealth aircraft with greater ordinance carrying capabilities to operate with impunity.

No.
OP is on the right track. The F-35’s dominance combined with other intelligence nodes means full spectrum dominance.
There is a literal act of congress that prohibits the US from selling F-22s to even our closest allies, and we all know that we're selling F-35s to basically everyone.

The claim hospice care is giving elderly patients these two meds on a 2 hour basis is ludicrous. It would likely kill them
Hmmm, I wonder if that's the point he was trying to make? People in hospice do tend to die very soon after entering hospice, both my great-grandfather and grandfather died within 2 days of entering hospice. The whole point of hospice is comfort, whatever needs to be done to make the patient comfortable is done, regardless of how much it shortens their remaining life. It's de facto MAS, it's just not considered so because it kills you over hours to days and not over seconds to minutes.

Let me preface this by saying I agree with you that the lists are not official recognition by the NCAA, they will never give that. It is just informative about past selectors and their respective selections.
The only thing I'll say against your argument is that the NCAA, on the most restrictive list, is effectively recognizing who they consider "Major Selectors" For example, they only mention the CFP in the CFP era. When pre-BCS era they mention the AP, FWAA, NFF, UPI, etc. even for years with clear undisputed champions like 1995 Nebraska. Of course, the counter argument is 2003 where they list the BCS, AP, and FWAA.

re: No, you are not on Indigenous land

The evidence for that is murky. While it certainly did move from New to Old world. European skeletal remains from well before first contact show signs of treponematosis which is the parent disease of syphilis.

Actually, the Indians didn't give the Europeans any diseases. check out this YouTube video by a guy called CGP Grey LINK
But sorry Indians we won, you lost. Maybe we could have been more gracious victors, but let bygones be bygones.

re: Jeff Landry now has it out for an LSU professor
Posted by BrownLeft Shoe on 11/26/24 at 3:44 pm to Pelican fan99
Just to get the record straight. Professor Bryner teaches Environmental Law and Administrative Law. It's not Climate Change Law. It's mostly EPA stuff, and until recently the Chevron Standard. While I disagree with professor Bryner's opinion and sentiment, I feel this occurring in a Law School class is not nearly as bad as if it occurred in undergrad. Me and my peers or more than capable of forming logical conclusions based on real evidence. We are not nearly as susceptible to indoctrination as undergraduate students. Plus, lawyers love nothing more than arguing that their opinion is right. Thats basically our job description lol.
re: We have one conservative SEC school left
Posted by BrownLeft Shoe on 11/6/24 at 2:47 pm to TN Tygah
I can't speak for the whole university, but from talking to a lot of my peers at LSU Law I only know of a few people who voted liberal among the student body. The faculty is a whole other story, however. My last class was canceled today; the professor is a younger black man. He's very smart and a great teacher, but I'll let you connect those dots.

re: The original Bill of Rights (in its original context) has been dead for along time
Posted by BrownLeft Shoe on 7/11/24 at 8:46 am to burger bearcat
This is just my current 2L Law School analysis, but the supremacy clause allows the Constitution to overrule and override any state law that is in conflict with it. Also, the Supreme Court ruled in Marbury v. Madison that the Supreme Court has the ultimate say as to the meaning of the Constitution and what is and isn't allowed. TLDR, the SC ruled in 1803 that the SC can say any state law isn't legal. :lol:

I'm sorry, but I'm a 1L at LSU Law and am currently taking Constitutional Law, and I can't let this slide. It's Article 1 Section 8 Clause 7. Sorry I know that's pretty smart arse of me, but I've spent the last 4 months studying the powers granted to Congress by this section and how they've developed over the years. And before anyone asks why congress has been allowed to go so far past their enumerated powers, 5 words: Commerce Clause and Spending Clause

Adjusted Yards per Attempt. Basically they take out dropped passes, spikes, and throwaways to calculate your average yardage gained every time you throw the ball excluding those previously stated scenarios.
