I’m on travel, so I don’t have access to my best sources. But from Wikipedia (regrettably)

The F-18Cs are God-D### maytag washers compared to E-2C Hawkeyes.

Actually, after the decision to go after ISIL, Navy strike fighters were the only “bomb droppers” in theater. Even by the time we went to Syria, the Navy constituted over 75% of the bomb droppers in theater. I won’t give exact numbers, but there were no heavy bombers available and not many AF or USMC assets.

We absolutely need them. However, the whole mission was less efficient from a strictly military point of view. We all understood the politics, it was just frustrating to have to keep re-planning due to constantly changing demands.

But the bombs it could carry was less than ideal. We had aircraft that could carry a more capable payload.

I was in the CAOC (combined air & space operations center) in Qatar and helped plan the 1st strikes into Syria.

My 1st time in Tokyo, I was amazed that almost all the women wore stiletto heeled boots throughout the city. I kept thinking of all the random grates, lines in the sidewalk, and street cracks those heels could get stuck in.

What kind of exec wears a backwards baseball cap? I’m pretty sure I stopped that stuff in college to early 20's. I’m definitely sure I was over backwards baseball caps by my “exec” stage.

F that noise. Sometimes, it’s really excessive.

That’s not entirely true. I had a pretty recognized European History prof (no idea if internationally known though) too.

I hate this argument so very much. Man, I really despise the prequels (had to sit through them again with the kids leading up to TFA). But the art direction is totally consistent.

Tesla could be profitable today if they chose to. Currently they spend all of their profits on infrastructure (such as the supercharger network), so they show a net loss.

Ha, we had plans to invade all your bases in the Caribbean too if you fell to ze Germans. But at least we weren’t going to sink your ships like you guys did the French. Ya’ll be some cold M-Fs.

At the U.S. Naval Academy, we have a place called Memorial Hall which lists all the graduates that died in battle.

The thing is, everyone else is chasing where Tesla “is” not where it will be. The $70k+ Model S and Model X will always be low volume cars for Tesla. However, selling Model Ss and Xs is not their goal.

I just saw this, and since the internet is forever, I didn’t want erroneous claims sitting out there. And this isn’t new data. I’ve been following Tesla since 2009 (why the F, I didn’t invest then..?) Tesla’s goals have been pretty transparent since the beginning.

Oh I read what you said. I personally test drove an A4 and the S60 before deciding on the S60. The S60 was bigger, had better “luxury items”, a nicer interior, and much more sporty handling than the A4. I would DEFINITELY source the Volvo in comparison with an Audi.

My 2008 Volvo S60 with all leather interior, premium sound system, and a bunch of other upgrades only cost my 38k. It also came with power memory front seats and individualized key fobs (remembers specific seat settings) as standard.

My wife’s 2012 CX-9 sport trim with all leather interior, rearview camera, Bluetooth…

Actually, I think you have that wrong. The original Xbox and the Xbox One are x86 based processors. The Xbox 360 was PowerPC based. So, original xbox emulation on the 360 was just as hard as 360 emulation on the One. Interestingly, original xbox emulation on the xbox One should be the easiest.

Well, as always, it’s a capability spurred from a need. Russian satellites are notoriously glitchy. The Soviets had to develop a robust launch capability in order to keep enough spy sats in orbit.
