All true, but I’ll add perspective: aircraft carrier-ing is hard. U.S. carriers lose aircraft, too, especially during combat operations. By itself, this story is nothing at all, for carrier operators it’s what we call “Monday.”

Very neat, but I’m somewhat surprised that it took so long to get going from activation. I mean, that’s an eternity in a fire situation. ?

Most borrowers default on their payday loan, take out another loan to pay off the original loan, and end up paying crazy, high interest rates—as high as 780 percent for a two-week loan.

#1: Wait for the patch that fixes the abysmal A.I. that turned every other civ into Gandhi.

Thank you. With the GT series BMW doesn’t compete with H-D in much of anything— they compete in the “Not H-D” marketplace against Honda Gold Wings and Victory dressers. At these price points, buyers aren’t cross shopping between Street Glides and 1600s-- they already well know which platform (and image) they aspire to.

Some guys are smarter with money than people expect, I guess.

Yeah, I see far more Renegade than Cherokee here, though. That’s not a bad thing, but it does mean that Andrew needs glasses.

... oh, and same to Kinja, you stupid piece of shit.

I’ll let Rossi have the last word on this shiznit:

Some corrections/perspectives:

RE: Leia, I’ll be very disappointed if Episode VIII doesn’t A) have a scene reuniting her and Luke, and B) doesn’t NAIL that scene.

All good advice, except for this part:

Actually, Doolittle raid reference aside, I guarantee this was a secondary influence, ESPECIALLY given the fact that the B-21 (allegedly) will also be able to be flown autonomously as a super-UAV.

Very impressive, but can I get with AWD?

Well, if that’s how you feel, you’re no longer welcome on Earf.

Over 1/3rd of it, seeing as all the RDT&E costs must be amortized across only three ships.*

No, Zumwalt was always a destroyer, as its principal mission was surface attack. CG(X) was the cruiser counterpart, which would have been optimized for anti-air missions (like the Ticos before it). The CG(X) got cancelled, however, while the Zumwalt class lived on— if a total of three ships counts as a “class.”

Riker was clean-shaven for the first season of the show, but between seasons he acted in a Civil War mini-series, so he grew a beard.

I agree, old-school trailers would be neater.

I’d enjoy this game if only it had more... interactivity.
