I’ll jump in here...

as a New Orleanian, I say...

BK, it goes MUCH farther than that...

(to make a point)

It would be hard to start in the winter, at least until you replaced the glow plug system. Also hope that you have a mechanical fuel pump.

Most LAN rooms of any importance have been hardened against emp for a long time. Important data links use shielded or optical cables. Only end user devices are really vulnerable, and, i’ve seen my share of notebooks that are rated as being quite emp resistant.

I don’t know which way they can really go from what they have now to make the driver safety cell safer. They’re using just about the best, most exotic safety cell that they can make while still having something that’s relatively light weight and also not prohibitively expensive. They can either choose to make the…

I don’t think that the Phillipines are that far behind either of the Koreas...

Its actually a license built F-16 derivative based on a developmental project for a slightly enlarged and agility enhanced version of the Falcon. The wikipedia article on it is actually quite good.

It is not without precedent that multiple people have colluded to slander another. That they are claiming something like rape makes it either more reprehensible or makes it less likely that they are fabricating things. I wasn’t there, so I can’t know what really happened.

From what I have seen, he needs only prove that she defamed or slandered him. It is her responsibility to prove that what she said was the truth.

Exactly! Aren’t lynch mobs still a thing? Quick, everybody grab a torch and pitchfork!!!

Fyi: OT - mv22 down in Hawaii today, 12 injured, no cause published yet.

As compared to the velocity of the shells in the mk2 phalanx, and the stated range for those, you can make it out to about 5km and be effective with solid shot and no guidance. Add guidance an angular blast fragmentation dual stage warheads and you can likely quadruple that. That puts it out further then the SeaRam,…

Or, just use 9 of the proposed rail guns in three triple turrets...

Sorry to dredge up an old post like this, but, the old interceptor missiles that we had along our coasts and northern border, systems such as the Nike Ajax and Nike Hercules, were largely deactivated in the 70s with a few sites remaining into the 80s. The system, while effective for its day, was based on the idea that…

I kind of have a similar feeling. There will be an initial dust-up with some minor losses on both sides. It will be followed by a whole lot of political bluster, UN bickering, and a trade war. Finally, both sides will crank up their military-industrial complexes to 11 and churn out just as much hardware as is possible…

I... uh... just don’t ask too many questions about that particular mountain. Its better that way...

The High School that I went to was strictly opposed to dances. The founding family and governing board were all Church of Christ (not united, not “of later day saints”, just Church of Christ). What this meant is that instead of the school hosting the dances, the PTA would have to throw the dances. This meant that all…

The cost of a higher education is directly the result of available supply and demand that’s inflated through easy financing of even the most expensive of colleges. I can absolutely guarantee that if federally subsidised student loans were capped at a certain value, almost overnight, most private colleges and out of…
