Concur: a glance of the gif revealing the cop’s gun technique was the first thing that set off my BS detector. Seeing his collision/ramming technique afterwards was next. Watching the full video of the fool on the bike was the final icing on the cake. So we safely say we have two absolute buttheads here. Does the…

Talk about the Entitlement King. This guy is entitled to choke on his own gall. What a douche. And corporate executive ranks are full of his ilk. Trickle down my ass.

Funny, they say the same about us in the USA.

I read a lot of Tom Clancy when I was young and gung-ho. By all rights I should be Secretary of Defense by now.

If public display of assholes is banned, what are we to do with our numerous elected officials? Make them wear burqas?

This is all fine for the traditionally glamorous air-to-air side of gaining air supremacy, but what I don’t see as much emphasis upon is the means of neutralization of advanced ground-based AA systems (mostly missile) that are proliferating by leaps and bounds among all our potential adversaries.

A friend lost his young son who was his passenger riding behind him on one. Poor kid got tipped off the back and hit his head on a rock.

The whole LCS smacks of an argument between “What we need” vs “What is possible” and “What we’ve been sold.” I suspect that the mass closing of government owned naval shipyards and design centers has a lot to do with it.

If it takes a hit affecting it to the point where the tumblehome stability issues are relevant, it is toast anyway. As for rough seas: just hope all those electrical/electronic systems and power sources stay up and running...

What is up with that horrid rear side window? And that rising beltline? Just awful.

I’m guessing this was an attempt to thwart possible suicide attack via abducted light aircraft - or even attacks by remote-controlled drones.

It’s not the comment that gives them away, its the denial that invariably follows.

Putin is not there to defeat ISIS, he is there to prop up Assad. One of the factions fighting Assad’s regime are ethnic Turks (Turkomen); who , incidentally, also fight ISIS when ISIS forces are nearby.

Putin learned, at his warriors’ expense (as usual), that Turkey will defend its ethnic minorities and will not tolerate Russia bombing them, even if they are in Syria. Russia had been warned by Turkey about this in the past. That people were being bombed is what makes this incident of border violation different from…

All that’s wrong in today’s America, summarized neatly in this one bigoted idiot.

The H2 Hummer turned out to be a dog once I drove one for a week. I always admired them from a distance but then hated the damn thing once I wrestled it around a bit on the streets and freeways. Fortunately, I was only buying and exporting it for someone else and so I did not have to deal with buyer’s remorse.

I’ve owned at least 3 AMD cards and more than that in Nvidia cards over the years. Every last AMD card failed in use, typically well within a year and sometimes within weeks of installation. Every Nvidia card I’ve ever owned lasted until upgraded, typically a 2-4 year service period. That’s all I need know or have to…

Another Russian airline tragedy. Typically these are caused by either too much vodka or too little maintenance. The former is usually consumed by mechanics on the ground and the latter is not always mechanics’ fault, more to do with managers pocketing funds intended for spares and inspections.

I’m going to guess that most new Cherokees are going to be driven by soccer moms who drive them on the freeway to a mall where they spend $600 on a purse. That’s who the Cherokee was designed for.

Why do I get sudden recall of a film (& novel) entitled “The Bedford Incident” reading this? Rings eerily prescient, that’s why.
