All right, nobody panic. We can beat this with a few simple steps:

Well, it’s been an incredible ride. If anybody needs me, I’ll be in the basement punching the cinderblock walls and crying.

A French contemporary of John of Arderne and personal physician to Pope Clement VI named Guy de Chauliac did a lot to help kickstart scientific medicine.

Here’s the one launch. Pretty boss how the stack apparently disappears into a cloud of its own exhaust before emerging after clearing the tower.

Depressing.

For Mark Johnson, this behavior actually seems fairly reasonable compared to his typical pseudoscientific global warming denial rants.

Elyria kid here. Grew up there and, yeah it’s depressing. Still, it’s a nice place to go for getting out of New York for a week or so in the summer.

This is a lovely design. The openness reminds me of Bobst at NYU before they installed the suicide bars (which are still surprisingly tasteful, aesthetically).

“Hmm, the team we’re facing in the Finals is depending on sheer determination to win, and appear to somehow be actually pulling it off. You know what would be a great idea? Doing something to inspire a rage in their best player that will transform his already pitbull-like tenacity into a fanaticism so intense it would…

Grit Squad: here we go.

Makes me thing of my Grandfather. He flew on a B-17 crew when he was 18 to 20. That’s a kid. My mother suspected the experience scared him very deeply—She said he only talked about it when he was drunk. When I think of what I was doing at that age compared to what he must have been going through, it breaks my heart.…

My brother isn’t criticizing the decision to go with the F-35 from a strategy point of view, he’s looking at it purely from an engineering fan-boy perspective.

Baller.

Because of cloud cover, the bombers had to use a new radar system called H2X to sight their bombs. However, the navy didn’t trust the technology and were afraid the bombs would fall on the fleet off shore. So, they to told the air crews to hold for 30 seconds once they were over their target before dropping their…

No, it wasn’t really a deliberate choice. It was something they realized once they became involved. They made the decision to continue that because the US had such enormous industrial as well as the the fact Germany’s manufacturing capabilities were being obliterated. Making lighter tanks that they could easily…

This is the draft of the utterly chilling speech Eisenhower wrote on June 5, 1944 in the event the landings failed. It speaks to just how much Ike understood what a titanic gamble Overlord was—He actually thought the likelihood of failure was great enough that this speech warranted writing. Given how much of a…

This a great article from the Atlantic that documents the experiences of two first and second wave companies. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archi… It’s amazing how the junior officers (and a in lot of cases, noncommissioned officers and even enlisted guys who suddenly found themselves in charge of what was left…

Don’t get me wrong, the F-35 is still very advanced. It just doesn’t have the performance envelope the 22 has. It isn’t as quite as maneuverable (though, still considered more than super-manuverable) and it isn’t as fast as the Raptor nor does it have the ceiling. But it the F-35 is a little more versatile and it can…

You should my dad’s rant about the Knox class frigates. The steam turban on those things made them very fast and light, it also meant the consumed less material to build, so you could build a lot—Pretty good thing if you’re trying to build ships to track and destroy Soviet subs. However, that same steam turban meant…
