Well that is just the whole cloud subscription gotcha. For $20 a month you could get Photoshop, $30 a month you can get the whole suite with free stock art and for $50 a month you could get a basic M1. Are your really just going to spend $20, when for $30 more you can get some much more? Now the basic maintenance and…

Ambien is a hell of a drug.

I wasn’t being serious, but it is amazing that they have kept these things running as long as they have. Despite some problematic parts, most of this gear is pretty reliable as long as properly maintained. The “properly maintained” aspect is where I find that this stuff is still operating amazing. Some of the stuff,…

Good idea, I will include that in my proposal to Dianne Feinstein.

Considering the size of our mothball battalion of basically new mobile armored units, you could make a serious case for re-purposing them for farming and other tasks in less developed regions.

I’m pretty sure most the Adobe Flash and Cold Fusion devs got jobs working on the F-35.

Yes, co-branded with Adobe. If you buy a tank, you can get Adobe’s cloud license at a discount. Adobe with throw in free tank paint layout templates, so you can customize your tank camo. Premium, barrel and turret templates will still cost extra, but if purchase a full year subscription, they will be discounted 10%.

Come on DoD, it’s time to move to a cloud based license model. When you sell tanks, planes or AA artillery to a despot, use a license subscription model. Unless they keep the license up to date, we terminate their ability to use the equipment. Nothing splashy just a basic control circuit that renders the equipment…

Okay, my bad. Freeze framing I can see some stuff.

You won’t every find me defending Trump’s policies, but news media’s coverage of the tariff issue has been moronic and never reports the facts, because they would rather cry “look how bad Trump is” than actually discuss an issue that long preceded Trump.

There was no trailer and only the rear axle appears to be on the track, the rest of the rig is on a downhill slope. Is putting the truck in neutral not possible?

There is making campaign promises to get a certain group to vote for you and then there is Trump’s wall. I can’t fathom what his issue is with Mexican immigrants. They work in his hotels, they tend his golf courses, if they disappeared he would end up having to pay more for a lot his maintenance services. I won’t go…

First of Kim is either a liar or suffering brain injury from the crash. There was no evasion of any kind in that incident. He cooked the turn and ran off the track, it happens. Second, even if those bags were not there, the ruts from water run off and the huge ditch two feet past the bags would have sent him over the…

It should read thousands, but I couldn’t go back and edit the post.

Also, not fake news if it takes less than 5 seconds to Google.

You are correct thousands and the source: http://carsalesbase.com/us-car-sales-data/audi/audi-a3/

They have it in Europe, so I’m not sure why we can’t have both. I suspect dealers probably have some say in what cars they expect will sell for a given lot space and would rather have something that is twice as likely to sell as a hatchback. I’m guessing that crash testing and such would all be platform based, so they…

When the A3 wagon was sold it only came as a wagon (no sedan in the US) likewise when it switched to sedan there was no wagon (these numbers exclude the ‘e-tron’ version). So 2005-2013 were all hatchback/wagon and 2014-present is just sedan.

This got me thinking about the old A3 wagon/hatch and wondering how many they sold versus the sedan:

It’s amazing how fast your brain works in those situations. I was on a three lane road, in the center lane and the right most lane was a protected turn lane for the intersection less than 200 feet ahead, I was slowing for a red light. Suddenly a Infiniti QX56 hauling a Uhaul flatbed trailer passes me on the left and…
