Fun fact - there's already a satellite system on orbit called "Skynet."

It's a UK military communications system. It actually predates Terminator. I love that it exists. ;)

This is one more reason submarines ROCK!

...and one more reason to feel naked at all times while on a carrier...

That's what the Audi dealer charged for my '02 allroad clutch. :(

I LOVE IT! I need to find some of that fun locally. :)

I've never seen a Vette owner who wasn't drawing Social Security.

Sorry, but in my experience it's just about every 'Vette.

Brother in law has one of those. I lost all respect for it when I looked under the front and saw that it was 2WD. What the hell is the use of a 2WD Jeep?

You forgot the most iconic sports car of all time. I'll forgive your oversight... This time.

Drives a Prius, camps in the left lane, and drives 5 under.

Seattle, beautiful place, cautious drivers. It's kind of the anti-Texas.

No Audi allroad? Those things are pretty unstoppable... except by a repair bill.

It's an interesting idea... but this is the kind of crap that shouldn't be patent-able.

I was a Naval Aviator for a time... it was awesome. We all start training in Pensacola, and while I was waiting for a class to start I was able to volunteer at the National Naval Aviation Museum.
That was SO cool.
Also... what a crazy museum full of oddball, mostly forgotten, aircraft. I loved every minute of it.

Lots of people say X looks just like Y! I find this argument pretty annoying. For example, a bunch of people insulted the Russian Buran Space shuttle for looking like the US Space Shuttle, and the TU-144 for looking like the Concorde.

The reason these arguments are annoying is that the laws of physics and fluid…

I owned an '81 westy and I've regretted selling it ever since.

The L Jet is actually great - assuming you plug up all the vacuum leaks. Regardless how healthy the engine, this thing will be epochly slow. I can remember crossing Wyoming in a 45kt headwind, on the interstate, and being unable to get out of second gear.

Yeah, I was quoting fantasy. I was assuming that you had 4 planes already on the cats, with all pre-launch checks done, and just delaying for spacing. US carriers are capable of it, and I've seen Nimitz load all their cats at once, but it's not normal.

They purchased P-8s from Boeing to replace their ageing TU-95s that were doing antisubmarine service. India also has some pretty good submarines, which is the only effective anti-submarine weapon in the world - IMHO. (Bias: I used to be a sonar technician on US attack subs.) ;)

Slows down launches. A US carrier can put 4 planes in the air in 30 seconds. (assuming they're all ready to go.) Getting a whole squadron up when you can only hit the ski jump one at a time must take a long time.

I heard a joke about Super Hornets tanking:

I approve! That is bad-ass.

The only way it could be more badass is if they did the same thing with an SU-30. :)

You missed one:
