The aircraft flew up to speeds of 1,200mph. DARPA did not reveal which aircraft won the dogfight.

      Dkarma’s comment requires context. They think aliens have visited Earth. They presume people who don’t agree with them expect that if aliens had visited Earth, some would have been shot down and alien bodies would have been recovered

          It has nothing to do with the post. I believe the post inspired dkarma to work out that brand new argument that there are no alien bodies (at area 51 probably) because the aliens would use drones

        Whether aliens are visiting us matters just about as much as whether tanks are rolling into the village of uncontacted tribes.

        Our tactical disadvantage against alien technology is zero, so they have zero priority as targets.

        Our best bet is to make friends, converse with them. But they are obviously not interested in talking. So our only option is to pray they continue to let us exist. So far they seem to be.

          Sorry, technical advantage is zero. Not disadvantage. We have zero capability to counter alien threats.

              I like immutable records. If the contents of the edit were transparent (are they? in the mod log or something?), I’d have no problem with it. Like if the UI showed the final state but I had the whole log of creates and updates available to inspect like wikipedia, that would be cool

                Also, lemmy doesn’t seem to support strikethrough, so even if people trust me not to be sneaky, I can’t easily show what words were struck and added
