You could potentially load them from the very same cannon. Maybe even use the very same autoloader.

It wouldn't be a cruise missile. It would be a small rocket motor that would accelerate the very same round to the top of its arc, where it would glide to target exactly the same way. The round with its rocket motor should be about the same size as the round and its associate propellant.

I don't understand what the advantage of firing a guided round from a gun, rather than accelerating it via a rocket motor, thus turning it into surface fired missile (it doesn't seem right to compare this to a tomahawk, as that weapon is a generation older, and has a different intended use).

Ah. you might be able to make a sanitary argument as well. But neither are worth the pixels they are written on

I don't follow.

Yep, there will always be a type of behavior that should be both abhorrent and legal at the same time. Anytime we criminalize it, we aren't progressing as a society, we are regressing toward childhood.

You do realize that "advancing culture beyond sexism" is a type of morality right? If you feel that sexism is wrong, that's a moral value. It's a perfectly fine moral value, but it still is one.

If there is one thing that will secure us permanent moral high ground, surely waterboarding women and children is it.

'Cause you seem to know stuff.

I'm in complete agreement. EV's are getting good enough to make a satisfactory (or even ideal) second vehicle for many people. But they still have to go before they make a good only one.

If that's the case, why don't they lower the rate for the truck in the articles? From what I understood it never travels fully weighted.

Is it practical to swap the springs for something with a lighter rate? Would that make the setup run better when unloaded?

I'm with you, at least with VAT, less sure about the wisdom a gas tax (likely to generate too variable a revenue to work well) However, given our politics we are mostly likely to end up with a bullshit VAT and gas tax system in addition to our bullshit income tax system

If we are going to outlaw everything americans don't like, can we start with the taxes themselves?

Man, I'm normally first in line when it comes to getting rid of regulations, but I can't get myself too excited about front license plates (They don't look awesome, but the complaint about aero is silly. I'll take that back if anyone comes up with a way to actually measure the difference without the use of a wind…

You are right, emergencies are a part of life. You should prepare for them, both by keeping an emergency savings account, and by having a vehicle that is ready to go in the event of an emergency.

Agreed. For most people I can think of, one ICE and one electric car makes a great deal of sense.

Not every few months, but sometime during the time you expect to own the vehicle. This need not be a repeating problem to be serious, a single incident is pretty disastrous.

Sure, you could do that, but its a package deal.

When my wife was pregnant, I made it a point to keep at least half a tank of gas in the car at all times. Her preferred hospital is 50 miles away, and should anything unplanned happened, I did not want to spend an extra 10 minutes fueling up.
