Argh I'm so triggered 
only semi srs with no offense meant of course, I have a growing dislike of the ultra-capable in specialised fields because (without literally meaning *always*) they ****ING ALWAYS over complicate things 
Take NASA dude who built a glitter bomb for porch thieves. I don't want to see their end costs or BOM for what I KNOW could've been done in 1 week instead of 4 months and using $50 of electronics instead of 4 fully functional phones among other ****. No wonder these major projects end up so far over budget.

Your government spent more on the F35 than the GDP of say, an average country
The UK only gave about $3bn towards the project and we basically get all the import info, code, blueprints and **** so we can look after them ourselves.Looks like it will be a sweet jet once it's polished anyway, so thanks for that.

We've spent a few trillion and have put way too many years and delays into what is essentially a massively out dated turd. That's why my reply to soul was the way it was.Your government spent more on the F35 than the GDP of say, an average country

Y'all have enough to sustain your fleet, that's about it. Your information still comes through my servers lol.

What I don't get is what is stopping any country just ordering a F35, then disassembling the whole thing to see how it works. Even easier for countries that were higher level partners like UK and Italy.

In short, a lot of gov BS and software lockouts.

China doesn't seem to have any issues with doing what kmanmx stated

SteelSeries Sensei 310 Gaming Mouse
I figured I would try something different this time around. I got it for a really great price and was able to use gift cards to pay for it so I won't really be out anything if I don't like it. A friend uses and recommended the Corsair Dark Core, but I am looking seriously at the Corsair Ironclaw. Once I get the Sensei and try out the grip of it I will be better informed about the shape.
Anyone else use these?

He was suggesting allies tear the jet apart piece by piece to make their own. Knowing what I know about the software and systems running the F-35 I said they can't do that. The difference between that and China is they used somebody to steal data directly from us. Before I even opened the link I was going to reply with they took drives right off our factory floor but the article includes they had a source.
