Its a really straight forward issue: A fully tilt rotor concept like the V-22 is VERY heavy and complex. NOTAR may eliminate a little bit of forward flight drag, but it adds considerably more weight. I’ve been in a NOTAR on several occasions, and I can tell you, its no great thing for normal flight conditions. Where…

“We” absolutely do not have a tow notification system in place. If you leav s your car in front of a hydrant every place I’ve lived, or parked in a lot that you weren’t allowed, you simply returned to an empty spot. The onus is then on you to recover your property.

Raider was intended for use as a Armed Aerial scout mission, To replace the OH58D Kiowa Warrior And MH6 Cayuse aka Little Bird. Bell’s offering for the Armed Aerial Scout was the OH58F BlockII. that program was canceled due to budget. However Raider survived the canceling as Sikorsky kept working in House believing…

Kneejerking to the cyclists defense because you like their hobby is even worse.

I prefer NH. No income tax. No sales tax. No excise tax.

I’m 30, I’ve been driving for 13 years, and I can count the number of times I’ve parallel parked on one hand and still have enough fingers free to give my balls a good scratch. In some places, you just don’t need to parallel park.

Neither. Ive always used a chimney starter for charcoal. Usually the weber one because it tends to last longer than the cheap walmart special but any chimney starter will do. I just didnt want the hassle of cleanup with regard to charcoal anymore. Charcoal I think makes a huge difference with regard to grilling but…

Great article. I gave up charcoal last year in favor of a propane gas smoker. I can tell ZERO difference in the flavor (Bobby Flay probably can but most of my friends and family dont have advanced pallet technology) and have ZERO charcoal mess to deal with. Of course a decent gas smoker isnt going to be as cheap as…

I’m the internet sales manager for a dealership that is part of a large, local dealership network. When I receive a lead from a customer requesting more information from a large source of websites, I send them the exact price before taxes, tag, doc fee, etcetera. My managers seem completely okay with wanting to spew…

Totally fair...but you also can’t ignore communicating via email, or just refuse to send hard numbers.

You may have a legit reason for not revealing your quote..but just know your customers are perceiving you as not trustworthy by doing so. Now you may have plenty of sales where this doesn’t matter, and that is fine.

Its truly stunning, this was once a fun open minded web site. It seems they have hired people specifically to go left in their writing, there are no voices on the right, thats what passes for open minded. I’d go for apolitical but, to the left everything is political so, one lefty leads to all left, they like their…

It used to be just Gawker. Now this shit is bleeding into the other blogs. If this crap keeps up it wont be long till I switch to Engadget or Verge completely.

You have a point there. That could be artificial turf, drought-resistant grass, or low-water use ground cover for all we know. With aerial photos you don’t get much detail.

The grainy texture of the “grass” in the Penn photo looks more like a grass alternative to me. But what would I know?

it could also be spray-painted, which some Cali homeowners are having done. landscapers use some sort of organic, non-toxic covering to turn lawns green, although they remain brown underneath.

I’d be careful, people might start calling you a communist. People need an incentive to work, no one would be motivated to take on a job that allowed them to pay for things beyond just the bare necessities if they weren’t allowed to spend that extra money. What would be the point? Being able to buy yourself and others…

I see you working here, but are you sure that’s a line of thought you want to chase out? Cause if you make more than 30k a year, you’re in the top 5% globally.

Even if you’re own lifestyle is low middle class by American standards, according to the perspective of several billion people across the poorer regions of the…

That was a pretty cool graphic. I like how it added different information as you scrolled down the page.

ground clearance and all things jeep. its not built for speed. lol
no jeep is, save for the SRT.

In standard front-drive trim, it has far more in common with those mini-crossovers than it does a Wrangler; it’s well-suited to street duty, but offroading isn’t its forte.
