In his tenure in the Senate, Mr. Sanders has received well over $2,000,000 in compensation. He was listed in 2012 and 2013 (the two most recent years that I can find publicly disclosed data) as having assets of near half a million dollars on the top end, and at least a quarter of a million on the bottom end. Now,…

You really think this will come back and bite him on the butt? From what I’m reading on here, he’s getting a massive pass on this. The reality distortion shield is strong with this one. I mean, here’s a wealthy, powerful white male that’s been proven to have espoused some rather radical ideas that absolutely do not…

We use the pitchers with the less involved filters for our drinking water. The main reason is that the pipes in the house are largely 50+ years old now. Having recently replaced some due to a leak, I’ve seen the crud and corrosion that’s built up on the inside of them. It tends to fleck off and clog up the aerators on…

My apologies to both Darth Imperius and Phi1057. That’s what I get for posting while half asleep. The Viper is indeed the Cobra and the Venom is absolutely the huey.

I’m not sure you got what he was saying: Cancer is the result of a mutation in at least one cell, likely during cell reproduction. If you can find a therapy that can cure 100% of all of the cells that that one mutation managed to grow all over the body, you can effectively cure the disease (cancer) that that one…

The linked article seems to contradict that, indicating that the T-cells replicate in the body once reintroduced. I’m not sure that that’s entirely accurate, but, the T-cells don’t last forever, however the immunity is claimed to be persistent as reprogrammed T-cells are found to be present in the body long after the…

No, but Stalin was. See USSR anti-religious campaigns of 1921-1928 and 1928-1941. Nice body counts there...

In my experience as being a clergyman in a church that was focused on hospital and hospice ministry, I can tell you that, universally and with few exceptions, the people that were recovering were VERY thankful to both the hospital staff, doctors, and lab workers as well as to their deity of choice. Yes, there were a…

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but, you are very right in what you say. For context, swing by Wikipedia and take a gander at the USSR anti-religious campaigns of 1921-1928 and 1928-1941. Nearly all of the clergy and many of the believers in the Russian Orthodox church were either shot or sent to labour…

Its hard to tell from the silhouettes that they use in the diagram, but each HMLA is a mix of the Venom (modern cobra) and the UH-1Y Huey. They are high commonality, so its hard to tell them apart with no contrast just from a silhouette.

The caveat is that the 3V V-10 (most of them after 2003) isn’t too bad on power or gas. If you’re a full-timer and do a lot of driving in higher elevations, or if you’re towing more than 1500 lbs, you absolutely want the diesel. If you’re a part timer and the worst you’re going to tow is a little equipment trailer or…

By the time it was clear that the F-35 was going to be a gigantic black-hole that we were just going to shovel money into, the tooling for the F-22 had been broken up and the assembly lines gutted. The F-22, however, is no great miracle of aviation however. Its difficult to maintain and still very expensive to…

Its a really straight forward issue: A fully tilt rotor concept like the V-22 is VERY heavy and complex. NOTAR may eliminate a little bit of forward flight drag, but it adds considerably more weight. I’ve been in a NOTAR on several occasions, and I can tell you, its no great thing for normal flight conditions. Where…

Something like this could absolutely mean the difference between life and death for offshore oil rig workers that get injured in their line of work. While modern Life Flights can make the distance, this could cut the travel time in half, giving precious minutes to the doctors waiting for the patient at the other end.

Again, i’M specifically speaking to the legal side of things. I personally think that his intentions in that room were absolutely to rape her, or in his mind, intimidate her into accepting sex (which is still rape). However, if you think you could get a conviction for sexual assault for what’s written above, you’re…

In what twisted reality can anything that I said possibly be taken to mean that what he did was acceptable or even legal? He crossed all sorts of boundaries with what he did. What he didn’t do was actually commit sexual assault. It isn’t sexual assault just because it makes you uncomfortable. It’s sexual assault when…

Oddly enough, this is also the same sort of garbage I expected to see from you as well. We are creatures of habit after all. One day you’ll learn how to be civil with people. You’d be amazed how the world will no longer seem so adversarial to you at that point.

Actually, given the wing area, you could likely hang quite a few AMRAAMs on a 737. Give it the appropriate radar and its a true BVR mauler. Just, don’t expect to live long against their BR missiles...

She said exactly “He held me close to him as I said no, and continued to pull me against him.”

While I always raise a glass to our fallen warriors, no matter where they were when they made the ultimate sacrifice, this year I’ll be raising a glass to my dad as well, a veteran of the Korean war that managed to make it home safe and sound, finally stopped being able to outrun father time...
