That person should be fired for letting the flag touch water. They’re as bad as those foosball players that take a knee during the anthem. No insurance payout or FEMA assistance for them!

Guys, we need unions to keep workers rights and to ensure that we get good benefits! I’m non-union and get 12 weeks @100% pay for paternity leave, and yes I am employed and live in the US. Even my company’s old policy was better than what Ford are getting, it used to be 2 weeks @100%, 4 more weeks at 60% with an…

And a Camloc doesn’t potentially explode when ingested.

It’s not this exact model, but my father has one of these tools, one of it’s greatest uses is cutting oulet box holes in drywall. makes it a complete breeze.

Blackhawks are not armored aside from maybe some kevlar blankets designed to limit spalling inside the cockpit. The forward sweeping side of the rotor can be moving at speeds up to 500mph. And the issue isn’t just surviving the hit, clearly the blackhawk did. but any damage to the rotors means the rotor gets…

surviving is one thing. if someone hits a blackhawk with an RPG, its going to cause damage, and its going to cost a good chunk of change. As several people have stated, virtually any damage to the rotor blade requires replacing the blade, which run $200k or more, plus the man hours spent replacing them. All because…

if it struck the forward moving side of the blades first, the speeds would be much, much higher.

I don’t know if that would be better or worse than the menagerie of diseases that flourish in places with no running water or functional sewer systems. It’s lose-lose but one of them has running water and functional toilets.

Don’t get me wrong, I hate all big cities, not just NYC. I also hate the fact that I live just outside of NYC. I would much rather live in a quiet suburb, or preferably out in the country. Unfortunately I work in the tech sector and my wife is in the USCG, which means we are probably always going to be relatively…

So we should live in a country where our employers threaten to fire us over peacefully exercising our rights to free speech? You know there is a middle ground where we can use our first amendment rights AND not dodge landmines on our way to dig food out of a dumpster, right?

There are exceptions to that. I very willingly cram myself into a piss smelling tube to avoid driving in NYC, plus avoiding the $30ish in tolls that taking the train avoids.

They weren’t exactly rushing to get it out the door, it was in for a fuel pump replacement and they took almost a week to do it. If I hadn’t just moved I would’ve done it in the parking lot that night in probably an hour.

It’s an ‘04 ZHP, and this occurred earlier this year. It was only at the dealer for the Tanaka airbag recall on the drivers side. It is 14 years old and at 235k miles which is about 8years and 135k miles outside of its warranty.

I almost got to take a very nice loaner 435i with all the boxes checked on vacation to SC(from NJ) but they managed to get my car done just in time. I’d told them if it wasn’t done by a given date that I’d need to take the loaner out of state for an extra week and they were shockingly OK with that.

It’s not abuse per se, but when I took my ZHP to the dealer for the airbag recall they gave me a brand-new never been driven ‘17 330i loaner car with 8 miles on it. 3 days later I returned it to them with 500+ miles showing on the odo.

so, there are a few things you need to know about him. First in addition to being cheap he is an idiot. Second, his sense of direction approximately equal to a toddlers’. And third, he’s too stubborn to actually ask for help until things are way out of hand. More than likely he or his GF noticed the route was a…

Wasn’t me, but one of my workplace acquaintances. He was trying to get to NYC to see a play with his GF at the time that he had already bought tickets for. However, he was an epic cheapskate(like literally throwing coins on the stage at a club level cheapskate) and set his GPS to drive from the outskirts of Baltimore…

It looks like someone built a supercar, then sanded off all the corners to baby-proof it. Maybe it would look better in a different color, but it just looks like a toy car blown up to full-sized proportions.

Why must I limit myself to one or the other?

In all seriousness what would the repercussions be if we parked a collection of aegis cruisers/destroyers off the North Korean coast and just practiced shooting down ballistic missiles on everything they launch?
