Because they are mostly all incompetent, politically-motivated hacks.

Good for him. I wish him well.

This, exactly. Russian losses on Germany’s Eastern Front were the result of intentional Soviet policy, not the unavoidable cost of war.

C’mon man, there are welfare checks that need to go out. And the only experience an officer needs in the Obama military is a willingness to fight the dastardly ‘climate change’ and support gay marriage and sex change operations. Get with the program here.

Let’s be real about the reason for those casualty numbers: Stalin didn’t think twice about pouring his people, civilians and all, into situations in which death was guaranteed. He refused to evacuate his cities because he believed that civilian casualties would make his men fight harder. He gladly sacrificed tens of…

Yeah they call it Gawker media.

I used to come to Jalopnik for cars. Now I am increasingly fascinated by Tyler’s articles about the games endlessly stupid humans still play with each other. As an avid Economist-reader for 12-13 years, I was aware of the bigger picture that is military saber-rousing and showing off one’s balls. But this level of…

Well lets get some perspective. We will take the Mark 45 gun, the 5” gun they are developing one of the shells for. The Mk 45 fires a MK 156 HE-IR Shell that weighs 31.3kg. That shell carries a 3.52kg burster which releases 18.09MJ of energy. This HVP releases 32MJ of energy on impact.

That’s nothing. How about 60’s tech that can deal with 100g, reaching Mach 10 in 5 seconds. It’s like fucking cartoon physics.

“I wish I was unbeaten.”

Torch, you’ve done it again! This post is the absolute perfect mix of insanity and plausibility. I find myself sitting at work thinking to myself “well you know as crazy as that sounds... it’d prolly work”.

A good healthy (or unhealthy) dose of that illegal-in-12-US-states Torch Post really helps keep me awake.

This is like needing a walk-off home run to win the World Series, and the opposing pitcher throws the ball to you underhand while the rest of his team sits down on the grass and checks their Twitter.

Number 1 threat to national security: Our fiscal policy.

Foolishness. In North Korea, fighter planes are defended by great leader (he who should only be named in hushed awe and respect) riding on winds of his great gaseousness. Chinese infidels are so foolish.

The only suitable analogy to be made between the anti-vaxxers and cars is to equate them to the people who used to refuse to wear seatbelts because they were certain - despite all evidence against it, including films such as Red Asphalt and Signal 30 - that it is safer to be thrown from a wreck than to be contained…

You just compared a 7 series to a GM product lol

And the CT6 model that supposedly will be that light is the FOUR CYLINDER turbo (the standard engine) - the same engine that’s been admonished by the press in road tests of current model cars.

C-c-c-combo breaker?
