Yes, that's my point.

Typo alert: "Shaw of Iran."

...but not once you live in Houston.

There are no unjammable, undecoyable guided missiles.

At which point did "survivable" become narrowly defined as "invulnerable to all possible threats?" Are we really committing to only fight in circumstances in which no friendly casualties are allowed in the accomplishment of a given task?

There is another solution:

When has the pre-E-model Eagle ever been called multirole? "Not a pound for air-to-ground" was in the design mantra from the beginning.

Weaning games off of the cumulative hit point model would help several genres' worth of problems.

I am not sure conventional warfare is as dead as is being assumed.

Truth in advertising would require "goose bumps" to be replaced with "hives."

I'll see you all and raise— 1974 Buick Apollo.

Now, imagine trying to operate a floor buffer in that environment, and that's what being in the navy is like.

I have considered your invitation and elected to decline to leave.

Good enough?

Albacore, with her sail rudder and general hot-roddery, perhaps could have done it. This is the same sub that had dive brakes.

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive uses Tesla's drive system producing 177 horspower and 251 pound feet of torque with and EPA-estimated range of 85 miles. The U.S. gets it before Europe does, but is it the ultimate car for your daily commutes?

No, that was Tunguska, which does also involve guns and missiles, but isn't the same system.

It's not an automated system. Rate of fire doesn't tel the whole story.

I'll believe that when I see it. A ballistic missile hitting a moving point target has yet to be demonstrated even under test conditions by anyone. If it's not a nuke, then it's lotto odds at ever actually hitting anything. If it is a nuke, then there are bigger problems we should all be concerned with.

Foxtrot Alfa is a sub-blog of Jalopnik. There's a fair quantity of overlap on the groups of "people who think cars are awesome" and "people who like cool shiny war machines."
