Just consider the unintended punishment he will have to endure for whatever remains of his military career - for here forward, he will always be asked the question : “do you think Captain America would have ever shirked his duty to go watch a movie?” And once he moved on to the civilian sector, the question changes to…

Only idiot I saw was the one trying so hard to cheat the time limit rules by trying to squeeze in so many questions by not waiting for any answers.

Every cell phone comes with the “Do not disturb while driving” option. It’s called a power switch. As an added bonus, it reduces the power drain on the phone’s battery, too. :D

Officer: “Do you... live in this thing?”

I would take the time to figure out what all those “little trips” add up to in the course of running errands. I live in a fairly ‘small’ community covering 25 square miles. But the road network is a 300+ year old, ever-expanding mess, so that 30 miles ‘free battery range’ on the Pacifica would be sucked up in a single…

Jam that nose in there a little harder as it isn’t quite properly browned yet. You show us BS on both sides without even realizing it in your effort to prop up electric vehicles. Here, allow me to show you: “Not only are there stacks of traditional batteries to store excess energy for those low times”. Yeah, that…

Add a little Island Hoppers branding and CBS will snap it right up for their Magnum PI reboot. :D

He probably gets his armored European vehicles the same way I do - Turo.

A Camry owner is not a car enthusiast. A Camry owner is a “car I can afford” enthusiast.

Zombie Andy Rooney called the 60 minutes staff offices and demanded his undead eyebrows back. I hear he huffed quite indignantly about how dare someone put them on a car.

I don’t think A-10 supporters are saying the A-10 shouldn’t be replaced. They are saying the A-10 should be replaced by something superior to the A-10, not the freaking aircraft equivalent of a Shriners parade clown car presented in this story.

Another tidbit: A total of 47 examples were delivered prior to the AC-130J between 1966 and 2016 - somewhat less than 1 per year overall average.

How exactly is an aircrew of 13 less than an aircrew of 1?

Ah... That photo exposes Torchinsky’s secret plot! He wants the A-10s scrapped so he can strap a GAU-8/A to that yellow beetle of his...

LOL. This... gnat as a replacement for the A-10? Take two of these and load them up to their full takeoff weight. Congrats, you just reached the 16,000 lb payload capacity for the A-10 (not including the 30mm gun pod, fuel or crew!)

You’ll probably be more surprised to find out they made it into every armored personnel carrier as well, along with a substantial number of reconnaissance vehicles and logistical vehicles. The British WILL have their afternoon tea, dammit!

I live in a “front plate required” state. What annoys me is one street in my neighborhood is absolutely filled with dirtbags who instead of properly hanging their front plate, put an inch-wide strip of blue painter tape across the plate holder. No front plates in the front windshield or anything, and the state-issued…

Yep. That half-assed service/repair system is a major detractor for me considering any Tesla vehicle purchases. If I went out and bought a Pinto right now, and someone rear ended it to the point of explosion/inferno, I’d at least be able to go right out and find parts to get it into running order again in fairly short…

You should take a close look at whatever taxes are involved in your litre pricing. Over here, a lot of the price fluctuation from area to area involves the state and federal taxes that apply.

A really good question you raise is.... How did you order a Model 3 last quarter and already get the vehicle delivered, well ahead of the tens of thousands of poor fools who plopped down hard cash as a deposit well in advance of release? That’s just another example of the horrible mismanagement Tesla endures.
