#1 Fox's website is awful performance wise; it's right down there with CBS Sports, the Weather Channel and the Food Channel with all that Java script and other bloatware bullshit loaded in. How many refreshes and auto-play videos can you really display before the actual story?

#9 Countra-rotating props on each engine. They are more efficient than a single propeller disc, but the gearing introduces more complexity.

Firefox, Chrome and Brave accept the addon uMatrix. Takes a bit to get accustomed to but then you can fine tune any website to your heart's content.

#12 The article shows a picture of a TU-95 Bear but states the F-22’s intercepted IL-38 Maritime Patrol aircraft. Idiots.
