Don’t get me wrong, all the “cool” brands have their cult followers, and I don’t have any issue with that. I honestly don’t see that many HD “trailer queens” but then I guess I don’t go to the places where I would expect them to be. I do see lots and lots of HDs on the street. Definitely more than any other brand…

It does? Why have I never seen that?

Clearly you do not. You see, you don’t want all your eggs in one basket. If a program gets prematurely canceled (premature meaning the customer has money left) you need something to carry you over. You need to have starts and stops overlap so you minimize staffing bathtubs. Not that you care about the employees, but…

Not that I’m a fan, but at least it is street legal.

Meh, I might get one eventually, but it will be like this as I get older... Current bike > sport tour > Harley > Gold Wing > Can Am > this thing, but by then I’ll need help getting out of it as low as it is.

I was pointing out that they seemed to gloss over explosive as being dangerous

Meh, only if it is a cloudy night, or a really hard overcast during the day.

multiple secondary explosions occurred...

Gah. Her long hair next to the pully scares the crap out of me.

The actual qualifications of the individual are irrelevant. It is the perceived qualifications required for the job and the motivation of the company to hire people who are in demand that affects decision making. If the company can replace someone in the warehouse in 5 days and have them trained up in another 5 days,…

Just like the rest of us.

Explain the DIFFERENCE.

Netflix isn’t about what the employees need. It isn’t a charity. It is about two things...

I would guess both would only be operational about 1/4 of the time. The rest of the time one would be undergoing maintenance of some sort.

Mil-Std-464 includes lightning protection

Nobody is asking you to take Lockheed’s word for anything, let alone stealth. None of the decision makers care what you, me, or anyone else on the internet thinks about the relative stealth capabilities of different aircraft. At this point it won’t even be analysis, the cognizant government officials will have actual…
