Wow, it seems the lot over here have gone over the nest and completely forgot that this is a woman speaking, that is a woman who gives her female employees a great benefit. I’m not defending republicans, but give some credit where it’s due.

Yes, the Republican Party is a single hive mind and no two republicans can have differing opinions on things. Therefore it is all a conspiracy to confuse you.

“2-3 near misses in parking lots a month”

At 6000 rpm a Harley connecting rod will create its own crankcase ventilation system.

I think the big air cooled Harleys typically red line around 5500. Harleys have a decent peak torque, but no real horsepower so high revs wouldn’t be much help anyway.

I’m getting off topic, but... Polanski? Really? Other than Rosemary’s Baby and Chinatown (and some say The Pianist, but I don’t) what has he done that was so great? I mean in the last 30 years. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like Woodie Allen movies much either, but at least his movies draw big stars.

I think it is only a DCT, no manual. Might not be a bad thing for a cruiser.

Didn’t help Maria Shriver, though that was a maid not a nanny.

Is it forced air? I was assigned an office that had been a server room at one point, but after they removed the equipment they never changed the HVAC configuration. When I would get there in the morning it would typically be around 58-62 degrees. After complaining yielded no results, I ended up covering the vents with

Why would it be easier to wear MORE clothes than less. That makes zero sense.

Wow. Yes, of course you’re right. All men share one hive mind and have an equal say in the dress code and office thermostat settings. BTW: name calling? Really?

If the guy sitting next to you was such a creep why would anyone else want to sit there?

Wait. Is this the most obvious sarcasm or the double sarcasm? I wonder because, this being Jezebel and all, it could be that you really think this is a race thing. I searched a bit about this story and found no indication of that. While I can’t rule out race as a factor in this, it is more easily explained by the

Routine patrols and training.

Yes, I understand. I am poking back using a thing called grammar. Most people in the Army wouldn’t understand. ;-)

They are going to drive the boats around anyway. What would you suggest they do that would be of more value?

I think all the Austin class LPDs are either decomissioned or repurposed.

The ship in the pic is an LPD (Landing Platform Dock). The vehicles that swim out the back of it are things like AAV (amphibious assault vehicle), LCAC, LCMs (do we still use LCMs?). There is a landing pad on the back that can receive a variety of vertical take off aircraft, such as MH-60, CH-46 (if there are any

If you ain’t Cav ... you ain’t shit!

Sigh. The gun is one capability. There are others. The gun on the B is not even actually permanantly installed in the aircraft, it is a centerline pod. Even after the aircraft goes fully operational for all forces with block 3F (Marine IOC is block 2B), there will still be MORE capabilities coming in block 4. If we
