While the current unit cost is coming closer to the original estimates. It doesn’t take into account for the the previous years. The original contract was for 2400 planes at a cost of $200 Billion. That figure is now at over $300 Billion.

Just because you bought a used car for $60,000 doesn’t mean you are paying for maintenance on a $60,000 car. It’s still a $140,000 car and the maintenance cost reflects it.

Daddy’s money.

The real problem is most kart places don’t group people by their skill level. Fast drivers don’t like to deal with lapped drivers 2 laps into a session when the laps are only 25 seconds long.

When you have equally skilled drivers, weight does matter. I’m a good 50 lbs heavier than a former co-worker who would pull away from me on the straights. Yet we had to drive a session with a couple small kids who thought they were good enough to drive the big boy karts get all pissy at us because we were lapping them…

The shuttle driver at my local airport said they scan the license plates each night so if you don’t know where you parked, call their number and they can look it up on their database.

Yes. Look at MB F1, their engines have almost reached 50% thermal efficiency, whereas conventional IC engines are around 30%.

Most people just pull their e brake when they park. I always put the car into neutral, pull the brake and check that it doesn’t roll, then put it into park or first gear. There has been a few time where I had to pull much harder on the brake.

Most Jalops are hypocrites anyways. Look at the outrage when the EPA proposed to ban the conversions of road cars into race cars where the emissions control systems were removed.

The big problem is the JSF program has diverged from the initial concept to the point that it really should have just started off at 3 separate airplanes. The Marine version compromised the other two designs. But it’s now at the point where they share less the 25% of the parts.

The only reason the Marines want their own airplanes is because if it is US Navy carrier based, the primary mission becomes fleet defense.

California’s high speed rail is $26 million per mile.

You can express your feelings in a civilized way on an airplane. This guy did. He didn’t get kicked off.

They should be practicing Fulton Recovery.

Great. Now we are going to have stupid Tesla’s doing 65 mph blocking the carpool lane when everyone else in the carpool lane is doing 80-90 mph here in California.

A good journalist would mention that only half of the states have an ID that is compliant. The remainder have extensions that expire later this year.

Hamilton dates other celebrities, likes to party, drives exotic cars, gets into trouble, won 3 WDC, holds 15 F1 records.

These package thieves at least here in California, will follow UPS trucks around. They watch where they stop and once the truck is out of sight, they will walk up to your porch and take the package.

It’s a problem here in California also.

Podesta and his IT idiot were stupid enough to get his gmail phished.
