What really surprises me is how you think any of these idiots are anything besides dickheads.

I like seeing this kind of tech highlighted here. It's not aviation related, but a good fit.

The cleanest coal? You know that the majority of their electricity comes from Coal don't you?

3rd Gear: Act One: Not Everyone Is Making Out In The Car Boom

First off, a 65 Barracuda wasn't exactly a muscle car in 65. Look at the spec sheet for that POS and you're looking at the mid-sixties version of a Focus. It was standard with a slant6 that could barely gt out of it's own way, and the option of a small V8.

How about a giant satellite killing laser into a 747? Meet the Boeing YAL-1.

Looks like toilet paper with the sh1t already on it.

How about the fact that they haven't turned a single dollar in profit yet, and have admitted they don't expect to until 2020? The way Elon Musk likes to over-promise, 2020 is probably VERY optimistic. I like the tech, love the car, but the business is a disaster.

Of course the down side of Aegis is that the Chinese and Russians have had access to it for over a decade and almost definitely know how to defeat it.

Yes, he violated the sovereignty of a country without the ability to fight back when he needed a PR boost for his rapidly falling public opinion rating. A diplomat would have gotten said sovereign nations approval through diplomacy and not violated international law. And a real President would not be assassinating…

I though California was a four letter word everywhere?

Same with my company. They want you to give the 2 weeks notice, but when they find out you're leaving, they have security escort you out or just turn off your badge when you leave for the day.

Right on about updating the resume regularly. For me that's every quarter when we do quarterly reviews. It helps put everything into perspective at the time when you need it the most. If you take time to remind yourself of what you've accomplished the last 3 months, it's like a dress rehearsal for reviews.

The amount of liberal propaganda in that exam is suffocating. If it was history that mattered, maybe the subject would matter, but it's only a bunch of horse crap meant to tell white boys they are the root of evil in the world. Good thing I have my own business and my son will not have to pretend to care about this…

They had this great idea to have a brand targeted for the youth market, and the expectation they would buy Toyotas and Lexuses (Lexi, Lexus's, something). It not a terrible idea, but the execution was horrible. Being who they are, they just let it go. It will labor on until either egos can be reigned in (not…

Shooting brake

With the current gang of incompetents in Washington, I'd say we would get a somber speech from a vacationing Obama. I'm sure we would "draw some red lines", and "strengthen our resolve", and maybe threaten some "tough sanctions against those responsible". I'm sure Putin is just scared to death of what we might do.

To prevent strays, Spay or Neuter your trucks.

You're so anxious to condemn GM, but what major automaker hasn't had massive recalls in the last decade? Toyota? Check......Honda? Check...... BMW? Check.....Chrysler? Check..... Ford? Check..... VW? Check.....There isn't even a debate about the Takata airbag issue, but Honda and BMW publicly refused to recall them,…
