Modern nuclear war fighting doctrine would have several MIRV equipped missiles to completely blanket a strategic target like a city. This assumes that counter-force had been abandoned in favor of a city busting campaign.

The combat reach of a US Naval Carrier Air Battle Group is what? 1400 miles? Why would a Nimitz class even need to enter the Persian Gulf to project completely overwhelming destruction. Also, it is easy to sink a barge that doesn't fight back.

No, a $20 Honeywell will not do the "same thing" as the Nest. Can you connect with your Honeywell via your smartphone over the 'net and tell it to turn on heat or a/c so when you get home, your house is comfortable? No. Does your Honeywell sense that nobody is home and shut down heat and/or A/C to save $$? No. Does…

Lambo drivers are dicks, everybody knows that.

Remember the old saying in Washington, "a billion here, a billion there. Pretty soon, you're talking about real money." THAT'S OUR MONEY THE NAVY IS THROWING AT A DUBIOUS PROGRAM.

Bolt, schmolt. It may be an engineering wunderkind, but as a GM car, the styling will still be butt ugly. The Transformer franchise, IMHO, is the worst thing that happened to the GM Design Dept.

16 years ago I was on a train in Switzerland, the Alpine Express, going from Zermatt to Zurich. I remember seeing small, single aircraft hardened shelters build next to straight sections of road all the way across the Alps.

Despite the cool factor, Main Battle Tanks are weapons needed to fight the last war. This is a lesson that Military planners worldwide are incapable of learning. Legions of T-14s will not come streaming out of the Fulda Gap and roll across the North German plain.

It was designed in Burbank, Ca using slide rules, paper and pencils.

It is more of a "feel good" solution. The aroma of drying clothes makes you think the air is more humid.

To make a meaningful contribution to interior humidity via drying laundry, you would have to wash commercial levels of clothes.

Dan Gurney, one of the original race and development drivers for the Fort GT project was over 6' tall. The door hump was specifically for him.

"the act of writing helps me clarify tasks," I really like that explanation. I also really like the skritch, skritch sound a pen makes in a notebook.

You found them!!! The two most ANNOYING Women on the Internets.

True, the original USS Wasp was launched in 1779. However the AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT SHIP USS Wasp LHD-1 was launched in 1987, the vessel I was referring to.

The Wasp Class was designed over 209 years ago, and at the time, represented the current state of the art. Current US Warship design, in keeping with modern naval automation, have far less crew than previous ships.

That's not how the DoD does things. Separate facilities for separate budgeted projects. As S.R. Hadden said in Contact,"why build one when you can have two at twice the price?

What was it that V.I. Lenin once said? "The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them."

Big Fucking Deal. So the Leader of the Free World dared to ware something other than Blue or Grey. So what. If it causes Republicans heads to blow up, I'm all for it.

Did anybody notice the Red Star prominently displayed in the upper right corner? Are we returning to the bad old days?
