Angelababy (née Angela Yeung) is a popular Chinese actress, singer, and model who’s been referred to as the country’s answer to Kim Kardashian. But unlike Kim Kardashian ...

No, not typically. If the pilot was in a hurry to drop it, he would have performed an EJ (emergency jettison) and just kick all the stores off the plane immediately. If the pilot was experiencing any control difficulties at all, that is likely what happened.

Impossible to know. F-35 is a bigger airframe so a bigger target, may have taken a few more rounds. But the composites are more robust and the computerized flight controls are better and could compensate better than the F-16.

Sounds familiar. Canadian SeaKing replacement: Original purchase of 35 EH-101 helicopters to replace the SeaKing in shipboard ASW service. Four years later they announced that they would also use the EH-101 to replace the SeaKing in coastal SAR service. This new requirement caused design changes to support both roles…

That won’t happen and couldn’t have happened. While there have been smaller programs where major defense contractors have eaten a loss, when you start talking about programs this size, that could theoretically bankrupt a company, they aren’t taking those kinds of chances with the contract. This is why development was…

I don’t get the fuss. I so rarely use cash anymore I barely remember what the $10 looks like. It is purely symbolic gesture. “Give them a bill, maybe they’ll go away for a while.” Now if they started mandating pictures of people on credit cards... “No, we don’t take Andrew Jackson Express here, only George Washington…

Maybe do what all the other guys do and have a version that comes from the factory with crash bars, hand guards, luggage, and maybe a bigger wind screen.

Actually it should be Year/Month/Day if for no other reason than I can’t be bothered to sort by date using an actual date field rather than just increasing / decreasing numbers.

Yeah, that makes more sense. I was wondering why, driving 12 minutes through a populated area, he was the first person on the scene. It seemed like in an area like that someone should have been closer.

The terrible traffic in Indonesia is a complex problem caused by bad infrastructure, bad public transport, non-existent traffic law enforcement (+corruption), bad urban planning, and so on

All of that is “in-work.” Let’s just say it isn’t the highest priority for some folks right now.

This pass women over if they are “bitchy” only works because the studio can make just as much money with a different actress who will work for what is being offered. It isn’t like these negotiations are held in front of a TV camera. When you end up with actors like Robert Downey Jr. in a franchise like Ironman, there…

Is that what this was about? Hunger Games? I hadn’t seen any specifics about which movies were being discussed.

Do you honestly believe the exec’s at Sony are sitting around going “well, she’s only a woman, we should pay her less?” No, they have movies to make, profits to reap, and they will pay her what is required to get the job done. Not a penny more. Being bad at negotiation isn’t discrimination.

Oh no doubt. I have heard that if you want to ride one on the highway any significant distance a replacement windscreen is a must. Based on my limited experience with a DL650 I’d agree. What I wonder about is the position of the spoiler on the back when upright. It seems like seated upright you would get separation…

V-Strom is pretty much just upright. I’d definitely want to hear from someone who used this helmet upright before assuming that the aerodynamics work in that position.

I am perfectly willing to stipulate that JORN is a pretty damn impressive accomplishment. I just don’t believe that it can use wake turbulence of a fighter OTH to create a track. When I say it was the same as the Serbs, I didn’t mean to imply it was the same level of technical sophistication. I meant that it used…

Up in Spokane, as of 10 years ago, his actions on the ground were being used as examples of what not to do. I don’t know that I would have the presence of mind to do the textbook things under those circumstances, so this isn’t so much me criticizing.

O’Grady

It doesn’t do what you say with the wake turbulence. It does use long wavelengths to detect stealthish aircraft, similar to what was used by the Serbs. It is very sensitive and long range, but that is at the mercy of the weather and solar activity, which it does a great job of detecting.
