It is because of the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it attitude.” The military recently have been more willing to apply techniques learned from the competition world on marksmanship.

EPA wasn’t there because they were busy trying to defend themselves yesterday from the Flint fiasco. They weren’t looking too good from the internal emails.

Sure you can fly by instruments, but that’s assuming all you have is a cracked windscreen. But not all aircrafts have bird strike rated windscreens. Many light aircrafts and helicopters don’t. Typically the windscreen will shatter sending pieces flying at you along with whatever hit it. Pilots have been knocked…

Birds normally get out of the way of airplanes. Drones piloted by idiots tend to fly towards airplanes.

I take it you never flown in the front seat of an airplane. Being able to see is extremely important. You are constantly scanning for other airplanes. By the time another airplane looks about the size of a quarter held at arm’s length, you are going oh crap.

FIA did test a F-16 canopy.

Ah the new politically correct Top Gear where no one gets offended, can’t say anything bad about anyone or anything. They probably won’t dare call Chris Harris, Monkey because it might offend someone.

Back in the days when aviation, in particular military aviation was all men, they found that a woman’s voice stood out more than a man’s voice. Men would not hear the male voices in the heat of battle. So that’s why it was mostly women’s voices for a while.

I like how they spread the rounds apart including the full auto burst towards the end to not show the weakness in armor.

Wouldn’t this scratch the plastic lens?

They tried it in F1, but with the high reving engine, the power required to move the valves was enormous. The performance gain was nullified by the additional power to drive the valves. The only gain was reduce vibration.

All helicopter rotor systems have to pass through its natural frequency before it gets up to its operating speed. That’s one way to cause that much vibration.

This is 6 month old news.

And yet every Asian household has at least one rice cooker. Asians also don’t use stock in cooking the rice.

Probably not enough water. Also adding other stuff like chicken broth will cause it to burn.

It reminds me of the Optigrab.

Subaru’s front heating element is embedded in the glass. They been doing this for quite a long time.

99% of the locks out on the market have vulnerabilities. Locks are meant to deter. The better the lock, the longer it takes to get in.

Shocking, behind schedule and over budget.

The first contract went to Feinstein’s husband’s company, which was the least likely to succeed as determined by the state. The land that the first section of tracks went into, guess who owns that...
