Nah, just put a trailer hitch on it and put a portable generator on the trailer. Problem solved!

Strange definition of “adore” - train a creature that has no comprehension of the danger, or ability to consent to it, to do something too risky for a human, and exploit its unconditional loyalty. I used to think police dogs were adorable, too, until I really thought about what they were being trained for,

The terrorists didn’t kill that dog. The handler who trained it to do something he didn’t want to do himself killed it.

This is not going to be a popular opinion, but I am strongly opposed to the use of police dogs in this kind of capacity. I think it’s cowardly and cruel to train an animal that trusts you completely and unconditionally to do something you don’t want to do yourself because it’s “too dangerous for a person.”

Hmm. I never knew that the undersides of BMW’s were so extensively streamlined. Looks like a Hot Wheels car.

I was wondering how I could spend WAY too much on a C7 Z06. Now I know!

This, exactly. I’d guess that there is probably a waiting list of men wanting jobs at that foundry in India, too.

Interesting. I assumed there was some way to shorten flight time for reduced-range targets, but didn’t know it could be done short of simply not firing the third stage.

Also that’s a terrible cutaway illustration. This one is slightly better...

Ok, that makes sense. But in the photo set, he’s specifically referring to the main stages, not the RCS on the bus or warheads

I know, which it’s why it’s weird that he would say “to the last drop”

I’m torn on this... the analysis you linked to is clearly technically detailed, but he says, not once but twice, that the missile stages burn ‘to the very last drop.’ To the best of my knowledge, all three Trident II stages are solid fuel, and once ignited, will continue to burn until all fuel is exhausted.

If cops only gave a shit about stolen cars...

Not anybody who works at any Gawker title, that’s for sure.

...since their operations are largely clandestine, they can fly without their transponders off if they had one at all.

Tyler, please, please proofread before publishing. Nobody else will do it for you, and you are better than this.

It’s BCO’s shitty, smirking way of shutting down any dissent and then having a nice congratulatory circle jerk about it.

Were we actually supposed to be worried for Yuria? I mean, it was obviously just a clock. We all know that now...

I read it and I agree with RossW. Yeah, the L16 does some interesting things (like the after-the-fact focal length change) but I don’t know that the extra capability it offers over a $350 Canon P&S makes it worth the gigantic jump in price.
