The local National Guard often moves equipment on I-24 and this day they were towing a large piece of field artillery...I don’t know my army weapons but it was similar to what you’d see outside the local VFW except for a very long (fifty feet?) barrel.

That’s about what the same engine made in the MkIV which was done post-SAE net, so good guess.

CP for the price, the condition of the engine bay, and the tin worm peeking out of the trunklid. Although I will say that my dad owned a MkIV and the leather on this Mk III is in good shape relatively speaking. The interior on my dad’s Mk IV fell apart like a leper.

Sample size 3 in addition to Mr Max_x2 and krhodes1. I have had an Ecoboost Mustang for almost 3 years now and am thrilled with it. I will confess to frequently driving around town with both windows down and accelerating a little unnecessarily so that I can hear that turbo whistle. I think there is one more on…

Yoopers you say?

So it used to be that if you clicked “Show Pending” you would get “Show more comments”. In a Kinja update late last year, when you click “Show Pending” you no longer get “Show More Comments” and instead just see first four or so comments in a thread.

I saw the longer comment and approved it. You are “greyed” here I am afraid. However, I eventually ungrey all comments made in reply to me unless they are particularly toxic.

That sounds about right. I admit that I am a bit spoiled as an engineer. I work in an industry where we sell capital equipment (research equipment for laboratories in specific) where I can assume that users read the manual as part of their jobs, are trained, and nothing has to be “beautiful” or elegant. The main…

I mean for a non connected system with no reasonable expectation of ever uploading data to anything else, they can start the epoch whenever they damn well please.

Except it wouldn’t save that much of complexity. For embedded electronics of this era, 8-bit words were common, which allows for representations from 0 to 255. Even if it were a 7 bit word (common at one time for ASCII), that allows 0 to 127 (hence Y2K, year data was often stored as 7-bit words). To restrict data to…

As an electrical engineer and programmer, this is just bizarre. The “Y2k” problem made sense, reducing the amount of bytes in databases and whatnot by storing only the last two digits in a year back when memory really was that precious. 1999 to 2018? I can think of no technical limitation that justifies that range.…

That was Suzuki that had all the rebadged Daewoos (Suzuki Verona for example).

But for most people, wipeouts don’t happen on camera with all of our coworkers looking on.

When it comes to armored vehicles, I really am more of a Mopar guy

Isn’t there an anti-sub package that they can put on the Growler?  Still doesn’t have the legs the S-3 had though.

Oh, I’m sure someone on his staff boiled it down to some might fine cartoons that he found easy to understand.

then throws a drink out the window at me. In retrospect, dude was dangerous, and I should have let him in.

So I did some digging on this since I was curious why the Governors are allowed to recall their troops unilaterally. I thought that National Guard troops when called by the President were under Federal Authroity.

The greatest Hotchkiss ever built.
