You just discribed my cousin buying new c class. yes you can make a killing in a quarter, or have a multi month dryspell

It was revealed last summer that @22% of reservations had canceled. It was then revealed last fall that a 3/4 of sales were not to reservation holders but to new customers for the higher end model. Also Tesla during their Earnings call refused how many were domestic orders. On top when asked how many reservations they…

For the most part it has only been smaller UAVs, however the air force has switched training exercises for situations in which it cannot rely on GPS in anticipation this will expand from limited “beam” area such as the stealth drone incident, to entire regions.

I had a roommate in college make a comment along the lines of “who has basements”, to whcih everyone looked at him “wtf are you talking about? how drunk are you?”

I’ve read a limitation is uber wants all payments to be done through them, and a number of smaller apps allow the driver to collect cash or mobile payments. So that probably adds finance charges . Also Uber was really slow in adopting motorbike and tuk tuk rides.

“Possibly, like me, investors were puzzled at the very idea of discounting a theoretical gross margin to come up with a net present value (a bit like looking at your pre-tax wages and shouting “woo-hoo!” Homer Simpson-style). They may also have wondered why a company would even sell a vehicle supposedly worth north of…

Similar thing happened to dna testing 

loud bikes save lives!!!!!

Uber subsidizes a lot of rides in the hope of getting market share. There is a reason they are cheaper than cabs, and it isn’t just because they are pushing costs off to the driver.

Anther reason is the A-10 is the last aircraft flying with tf34 engines, which means making spares, repair for just one engine on just one aircraft. Costs go up through the roof.

It think because a lot of the older ones are way past their lifespans. I know someone that specialized in airframe fatique and between the recoil and weight carried they are abused. 

Or be a russian customer.

If I’m not mistaken, UAV jamming is becoming much more advanced as more players get experience using/countering them. 

You’re skipping over the abysmal combat range of the a10 and 17k an hour operating costs. Given the estimated operating costs of other proposed light attack aircraft, this could be 1/4 of the price to fly. If the operating costs are much lower, theoretically more aircraft could be made available, which mixed with the…

I have a couple friends that to this day, can’t comprehend that their parents let them out in rust piles of shit. I knew 5% about cars that I know now and even then, you just had to take one look from 20 feet and think “no way am I getting in that” 

the me 163 still suffered pitch issues at lower speeds when going in for landings,

Correct. In college I passed on a sweet 68 because no cash. Still kick myself

“Porsche produced the 912E for just one year. Karmann had finished building 914 bodies, and the 924 wasn’t quite ready for production, so there would be several months where U.S. dealerships wouldn’t have an entry level Porsche to draw in new customers. Using leftover Volkswagen type-4 engines that had been used in…

They are steadily rising. An issue with 944s, and 914s is that so many were turned into club racers and or driveway ornaments that there is a large spread on prices, that distort the market.
