The really good organizations can spot the difference between a year that doesn’t meet expectations, a bad year, and a downward trend. Time will tell (if it hasn’t already) whether John Elway made the right move last year; on balance, John Fox is probably a better coach than Kubiak. Jerry Jones is dumber than we…

I find it really hard to comprehend the evil that was done to Brendan Dassey. I definitely was involved and emotional watching the series but I broke down in tears seeing the footage of him from this year, ten years into his sentence. The men who interrogated him, not to mention the prosecution are evil incarnate.…

I’ve worked with teens who deal with mental disabilities. Brendan Dassy broke my heart. When he said he answered the officers questions how he answered on his Homework, by “guessing” I almost threw my computer out the window I was so angry. Every system failed that boy. Any form of early intervention failed him, the…

They tested GAU-8 back in 1979 against ancient Mark 47 tanks. And it killed only 3 out of 10 tanks outright, immobilized 3-4 others.

um, you have some seriously wrong info there friend, they might not carry the entire 1000 round load into battle but they go out cannon armed.

interesting turn of events, but the cannon is the single most surgical weapon in the entire arsenal for the hog. not necessarily in sheer accuracy, but in the lack of splash…

I live in the Bay Area where there are tons of Teslas. While I’ve never driven one - I got to sit in several at the showroom. That was enough for me to realize I don’t want one. I absolutely loathed that ugly gigantic screen, seating position and few other things. I’m sure people are interested because it’s something…

For the most part, coffee and cars events are full of douchetards. It seemed like a bragging competition for bored guys without kids trying the fill the emptiness with a car. They call themselves enthusiasts. I would rather drive than talk.

No, this was at the Blackhawk Coffee and Cars in Northern Cal - coincidentally the same day that the guy in the orange M4 drove over the median.

Saw one at a Coffee and Cars event where the owner had parked it smack dab between a Countach and a Pantera with the hood and trunk propped up as if there was something to see.

1967??? Did you pick that year on purpose? Take that crowded deck and launch a stray Zuni and you get the Forrestal. Note Sen Mccain’s A4 is one of the ones on fire on the port side. (And he had nothing to do with the mishap!)

Browsed around in a Tesla store once while my girl was taking forever in Victorias Secret. There was this guy in there looking around. While I was looking at one of the cars there he just randomly said to me: “Pretty nice right?”. I just shook my head in agreement. He continues” You know I have a red one back at…

Commonality is great in terms of simplifying maintenance and logistics, but by concentrating capabilities in fewer and fewer platforms, you lose the “hybrid vigor” naval aviation used to have. Not every job requires a Hornet/Super Hornet, and the F-35 is turning out to be a solid-gold hammer when we could really use a…

I don’t doubt of them training together since its been previously publicized however what I was saying is I very much doubt the European fighters will have a need to by the talon hate since they already have the sensors in place.

Jay Leno (the garage owner and denim enthusiast) is what I would turn into if I ever happened to stumble upon a billion dollars. He’s easily the best gearhead around due to the breadth of his collection, his obvious interest in everything mechanical and his willingness to talk about it on youtube.

The question is whether the cornering deficiency we saw was inherent in the concept, or something that could be fixed. They said they fixed the suspension pogo that prevented them from running on the kerbs for their CotA test, but we haven’t heard what their laptimes were. Then the question is how fast it could have…

But you need to try those crazy ideas to see what works and what doesnt. That’s my point. Without those designs you don’t like ,the ones you do probably wouldn’t exist. In fact, I‘d argue the “craziness arms race” that spawns those sorts of cars are also what ends up spawning the more effective designs. You have to…

So you like.....innovation that isn’t innovation?

Not really.

Yeah—I feel especially bad for the team itself. Lots of guys who rode this out hoping for it to get off the ground who are now looking for a new gig. At least Nissan’s pretty good about shuffling around their factory drivers such that I think we’ll see them elsewhere, but it’s disappointing for them that it won’t be…

a thousand times yes - here's a lmp-1 roadster in Denmark
