The Blue Angels approve!

Am I the only one who raises an eyebrow at a Republican candidate complaining about a corporate giveaway?

But I bet Molinaro supports Trump’s increased debt and tax breaks for himself and defunding the ACA to hurt the most vulnerable New Yorkers.

I wonder if Mr Molinaro squawked as loudly over the hundreds of billions recently given away to corporations in the form of a tax cut?

In the Cold War days, BFVs would be teamed with Abrams and Apaches for the initial infantry incursion. But, again, these tactics were developed around liberating FRIENDLY areas. The tacticians in these asymmetric wars were woefully unprepared for the attitude of the populations that resented our very existence, much…

The original HMMWV was designed to operate in already-secured spaces where the threat of large caliber weapons, RPGs, and IEDs were never involved. They were to be used to move men and materials rapidly between outposts, not engage in direct combat. They were designed for areas liberated by NATO from the Soviets.

“We’re gonna make them build more in America!”

Triple COTD

...but don’t get too excited—it already sources most of its steel from America, the report said.

1st:

That’s how you slow down in space.

This show takes physics seriously. You accelerate up to speed, drift, then have to turn around and decelerate with a burn to slow down/stop.

I’m warming up to Strathairn. At first I thought his accent was weird (weirder than normal belt-speak) and I thought he looked too gaunt to be an ass kicker. My first reaction was “jeez, he’s really scrawny.” Not that David Strathairn is a big strapping actor, but he’s thinner than average. Well it dawned on me that…

There are no breaks in space - nothing to drag or create friction. So you push towards your target, then turn around and push back against your target until you slow down enough. They call it ‘flip and burn’ and usually you flip at about the halfway point.

The roci outracing that missile into the slow zone is an allegory to the show surviving long enough for Amazon to pick it up.

Officially picked up last Friday and announced by Jeff Bezos himself

Yet again, this fucking show.
