I can’t believe you missed sliding doors ala minivan style. I think these would actually be pretty badass...

It is possible to reprocess nuclear waste into useful radio-isotopes, it’s simply not practical. The costs are prohibitive, and some of the proposed products do not have developed markets, so we would still be in the business of storing radioactive materials. There are efforts underway to build power generating…

Fuck’s sake, it’s Luke. Luke is the baby daddy. The mommy is probably going to turn out to be Mara Jade, but it’s Luke. She just doesn’t “discover” that until the next episode.

Those were not Imperial Tie/LN Fighters. They were First Order Tie/Fo Fighters.

Air is actually a pretty poor conductor of heat, which is why you need heat sinks and fans to keep equipment cool. Coating electronics with a silicone conformal coating, and using liquid cooling of key heat generating components would be much more efficient, albeit somewhat expensive.

It makes a lot more sense to…

I’m hopeful that Canadians aren’t this easily suckered. Panem et circenses...

Yeah, but your partisans are a hell of a lot more clever than our Partisans...

Tyler was a jewel in a sea of muckrakers. I often disagreed with his opinions, but there is no mistake that he was usually spot on. His breadth of knowledge and ability to provide an expansive scope on matters of military and aviation were simply unparalleled within the Kinjaverse. With his departure, we’re down to a…

People get killed for driving without insurance in Canada? Man, you guys are hard core.

The rake angled determines the offset of the ghost image, but doesn’t cause the ghosting. That ghosting occurs at all is due to the internal reflectivity of the glass, a problem that can be eliminated by surface coatings or a laminate of circular-polarized film. My guess is that the glass manufacturer may have…

The flaw in this analysis is that it is based on the current status quo of modern mass industrial farming methods. That is to say, farmers who have specialized their farming to one or two very specific crops in order to minimize costs and maximize yields, as well as the infrastructure of equipment, supplies,…

This article is trash - a recycled viewpoint that has been around for decades and repeatedly disproven (such as in TS Elliot’s introduction to “A Choice of Kipling’s Verse”). Kipling’s writings were not inherently Imperialistic at all; they simply presented stories in the context of the era. Kipling himself was a self…

70 miles, as in 58 miles into international waters. And you wonder why Americans look at the rest of the world like the punk bitches they are...

The first pass was to try and gather ELINT on the ship. The next 29 was because the commander of that boat didn’t take the bait and light up the sky with every sensor he had. The pilots were hoping to goad him into locking on with something so they could capture an emissions profile that could later be used for…

Matter cannot travel faster than light. Neither can photons. So if we only encode information matter (eg electroncs) or electrogmagnetic waves, then yes - we are limited to the speed of light in a vacuum.

And, in the process, Ridley revealed that not only did she know the identity of Rey’s parents—but they are apparently not that important in the grand scheme of things

RoK soldiers are hard core and squared away. On the “smart things to do” scale, this ranks up there with...

Plugs...

Still, these jets will either have to be replaced in the coming decade or will require deep upgrades to keep in the air and stay tactically relevant.

Geezers and Gears?
