No. Asked and answered. We (royal) already have a: Ferrari, Lotus, and maybe Mclaren that look like that. What we’re missing is a beautiful new take on a TR-4 or a well-done a high-end Miatta.

Agree. I have met more ‘boomers’ who swear that seat belts kill. They either a) were in a crash themselves and by God they were lucky because ___ (police/paramedic/bystander) said if they had the belt on they would have DIED.

#2: My ex-wife. And partly the reason.

Despite this being written by the CMU Boosters it’s pretty impressive. He just had one too many plugs for CMU and Pittsburg to direct my attention off the accomplishment. Sounds defensive. I’m a kid of the 90’s as well and yeah it sucks we didn’t have the social media to make our geek accomplishments front page news.…

I actually LOL’d - for real this time.

I'll bite! Which patents?

I always wonder about patenting advanced military tech as this makes the tech public by definition. I can only think of a few scenarios here: a) only rudimentary details are necessary for a patent b) this one already works and it's the OLD design c) not deemed militarily effective enough so let the inventor go…

I read this earlier but came back to mention that I really like this angle covering current events from the Mil-Spec POV. Kinda of a readable Janes for the rest of us.

Just loud, stupid airplanes flying close together without crashing.

Amazing work. Again. You continue to remind me that long-form journalism isn't dead. The stories and curated effort you put forth are top-notch. Kudos.

Why? Their criminals do not have hands.

I've used roboform for a long long time. Mostly happy with it but it has three main problems:

I think all forums have to walk a fine line between being open and being useful. I do think the stack sites do as good a job as you can do with technical subjects (or Reddit for non-tech). And I do hate stupid q's that are easily explained by WikiP (i.e. what is a variable), as much as I hate condescending answers!

Hah well summed re: stack. I love it and use it daily but certainly can be frustrating. Here are two other commons scenarios that suck:
