I dunno, I always referred to them as PUSA back in the 90s. Never heard them referred to as ‘POTUSA’.

I don’t know if I ever actually heard the song, I’m mostly familiar with Hank Hill singing it on King of the Hill not knowing what it was.

Younger GenXers are gonna know that too.

A two-door would indeed be nice. A real one would be much nicer than this hastily-created PS.

I’ve seen this mentioned many times, and I too thought it. Someone finally pointed out that the “pilots” the SCA provides don’t actually control the boat, they just advise the captain of the boat on what to do. The captain is still responsible for the boat.

The ship’s captain is always in charge and always responsible for the ship.  The canal pilot provides advice as to how to navigate.  The captain does not have to take the pilot’s advice.  All the pilots are Egyptian citizens. Egyptians tried to blame the only female pilot in the fleet, but she wasn’t on the vessel.  

Professional wheel designer here. Anytime you have a different number of spokes to lug holes, a bowl in the hub area (like on the TE37) for the lugs to sit in is one of the better solutions. Covered caps are another option.

The wheel is symmetrical about the red line. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a factory Subaru wheel. Still looks bad.

The crew gives the boat to the Egyptian crew to navigate the canal.

The plane was fresh off of an 18-year restoration and may never fly again.

I have not seen the movie in years but the whole “Why, this isn’t paper, it’s some kind of metal.”  “No sir, that’s paper.”  Sticks with me and still makes me laugh.

Hi! Hello! Government guy here with, surprisingly, a different take on “Industry did it all.”

He really had no choice. It’s bad enough they sent the guy they sent, a pretty typical Texas finance bro, but once he started getting called out on his shit (which my friend warned him point blank was going to happen), he went full pissbaby. My buddy runs a small marketing comms shop, he can’t afford to make the rest…

“The government didn’t put anyone on the moon. Boeing, Douglas, Grumman et. all did it with government money.

The mRNA vaccine technique was pioneered by the US government’s NIH back in 2013. Moderna partnered with NIH to bring this technology to market in 2017:

I have yet to see EV or anti oil advocates address impending lithium and cobalt shortages, the associated environmental effects or the infrastructure issues surrounding light rail.

Holy shit Jamie Kitman is in da house!
