The F-16 can and does do a lot of what the A-10 was designed to do, with the following issues:

I think that people are really missing the point here. What are the actual kinds of conflicts and missions that we are doing today and under what rules of engagement are we operating?

Well, you see, it’s just fine to offend a Christian because they are a Christian, after all, Crusades and abusive priests or some shit. Bt, we absolutely can’t offend an atheist because it might go against their religious beliefs or something. After all, it makes a lot of sense to be offended by a lot of people…

To clarify, this is a brand new organization. They purchased the Eastern name and branding. They are currently just a charter outfit based out of Florida, but have applied to begin scheduled service soon. The jets are newish, low time frames.

I was just thinking that very thing!

I have an ‘11 Corolla. I got the letter and called the 800 number the next day. I live in the deep south, along the gulf coast, which is a worst case scenario for these airbags. For me, it’s the passenger side airbag. My problem is, I have to take my kids to school every day. I have 4 kids with me every morning,…

There are only two logical answers to the trolly problem: passenger choice before hand or instant annihilation. Either have the passengers turn a knob to face one of two choices: save us and make us legally liable, or save the passengers and relieve us from liability. The other option is have all autonomous vehicles…

While I fully expect this to be forever consigned to the grays here, I thought that at least a few of you might appreciate this post to a cabin crew Facebook page by one of the other doctors that was actually present on the plane. I’ll warn you now, he’s not very charitable with his description of Dr. Cross or her…

To put it into simpler terms, under part throttle and before the turbo has spooled up, you want a lot of compression to give you as much work out of the limited amount of fuel in the cylinder as possible. Once the turbo is creating higher boost pressures, you back off on the cylinder compression to allow the turbo to…

This is effectively a turbo-compound design, but built like a mukti-expansion steam engine. The thermal expansion of the exhaust gases is mechanically returned to the crank, only here, its with a piston, instead of a direct drive turbine. This has better throttle response at the cost of increased reciprocating mass.…

Actually, that’s a gas engine. With a turbo, it is effectively a triple expansion engine. Those stats are for a 2 valve cylinder, traditional fuel injection, and fixed vane turbo setup. Imagine that with 4v, dual injection, variable turbos and other refinements. That’s a lot of thermal efficiency gain. You could…

Torch, I see a few big problems with your design:
1) Having the hab modules hung out on the sides in the inflatable modules is just asking for trouble from many different factors such as radiation, micro-asteroids, and weird stress related “fabric” fatigue on the sides of them due to the differing forces along the…

From what I’ve heard from people in the business, it is “based on and derived from” the 6.4L PSD (which was always a Navistar [and their predecessors] engine). Obviously, the emissions control system is substantially changed, and the fuel injection system has been upgraded a bit.

And, in fact, the PSD 6.7L V8 is rated for lower peak HP and Torque numbers in the medium duty applications that it’s used in as compared to the F-250, 350, and 450s. This is specifically for longevity and related cooling reasons...

It also doesn’t hurt when you:

And that would be a totally legit definition for the word, if it was regularly used that way. It’s just too bad that the word has been misused over and over again all over social media when two facts exist:
1) The person speaking happens to have a “y” chromosome.
2) That same person has had the unmitigated gall to post…

Whoa there paddnuh, you seem to have forgotten where you are! This is Jezebel. Every man is a murdering psychopath rapist that just hadn’t been caught in the act yet. Step back, take a deep breath, and enjoy the crazy train!

Came here to see this blamed on a man before any evidence is released, again, Jezebel does not disappoint. Grabbing some popcorn with extra butter to see the pile on now...

Actually, from what I’ve heard from the people that have actually attempted to think this stuff out, the idea os for armed teachers to basically barricade their class doors and shelter in place with their students. When the assailant decides to kick in the door and play shooting gallery with the students in your room,…

There is no "worse". Go dance in the streets NOW! Your team traded away a medical liability, locker room cancer, a big chunk of salary cap pain, and a below replacement level quarterback for a first rounder and a likely high round draft pick. Sam wasn't going to make the Eagles great any more than his backup. If you…
