I simply can’t imagine what tech they could stuff into it that would be ‘revolutionary’ and still be widely accepted.... I mean, stuff like a nicer screen, faster processor, better camera and smoother integration of apps is all a given.

Military LMTV on GovPlanet! $3900!!!

This means that they pressurize the suit to 1 ATM _first_, then place it in the vacuum chamber... the total pressure differential is then 2atm (100% safety factor). This places a LOT more pressure against the seams and seals.

3.2s? Lol. Call me when you’re serious...

<hat tip>

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Really?!?

I’d still buy a Raptor for that kind of money ($50k ish). Jumping>>burnouts.

I’ve been saying for some time that Subaru needs to do this in order to solve the WRX/STI paradox.... right now those two vehicles overlap WAY too much and it’s pretty hard for the average enthusiast to see a reason to spend the extra $$$ on the STI.

Yup. And I’d still go tomorrow if given the chance... better to get cancer from a TRIP TO FREAKING MARS than by, I dunno, another McMuffin and a Diet Coke. We’re all gonna die someday people... some of us will just have better stories!

Technically, its an apt analogy. The sound waves are directed and guided so that there is minimal dispersion (just like what happens in a laser). Ignoring reflections, there is very little audible leakage from the main sound channel. The sound remains VERY focused over a long distance, and the dB falloff away from…

Police _can_ compel you to open a safe that cannot be opened. They can hold you in contempt until you open it. Especially true if the act of opening it may damage evidence inside.

SO. MUCH. THIS.

My RPG >> your silly machine gun.

93 would return better mileage because it would allow further electronic advance of the timing for ignition... this would effectively raise the compression at the point of ignition (by a noticeable amount).

Yep, I think your nuts. :-)

For all cases except where AWD+Ground Clearance is an issue, I will agree with you. I actually much prefer minivans, but around here (very snowy New England town with shitty roads), minivans tend to scrape their underbellies and struggle with the road/snow conditions (and yes I know the Sienna has AWD). In these…

The logic is pretty easy to follow:

Nope. Crossover mileage is close enough to sedan mileage now that no one would use that as a decisive shopping metric. The couple of MPG difference is FAR outweighed by the cargo and family hauling increase you get with the crossover body style.
