Great article. The only thing I’d add is that the production shortage is bullshit. With any new model there is normally a slight production shortage at the beginning. The GM K2XX trucks had the same issue at first. But whats telling is that GM realized this was an issue and stopped fleet sales until production was…

Was just saying this to a friend the other day... I’ve dialed 911 four times in my life. 2 for drunk drivers, 1 for a tree in the road, and once for a moron in a Ram that I had passed miles down the road only to be passed by him at over 100mph to then stop in the middle of the road and do a burnout forcing me and the…

Nope. It says: “prohibited to employ laser weapons specifically designed, as their sole combat function or as one of their combat functions, to cause permanent blindness to unenhanced vision.” Frying someone alive is still allowed, although less effective than causing an explosion on the attacking craft which is what…

It looks like a giant H-34 Choctaw with wings.

I’ve owned a couple cars that measured it. The thing is I never paid it much attention because I didn’t know what was low, high, or “normal.” Mileage still made more sense as I knew how to compare it. For my boat and Sea Doo’s the measurement made a lot more sense because of the lack of an odometer.

Credit to the biker for deescalating the situation. If this Honda driving dipshit tried to push me, my girlfriend, and my bike over, I’m breaking his fucking jaw. My encounters with similarly retarded white trash have probably taken a couple years off my lifespan through hypertension alone.

Thank you. That was the one that put me over the edge and led me to canceling the subscription. I really like the majority of their content but when they start referencing that RAND simulation and Pierre Sprey they lose a lot of credibility with me.

I agree wholeheartedly with that second sentence. But when the JSF program was still in the conceptual phase the MQ-1 hadn’t even flown yet. I don’t think anyone could have predicted how game changing unmanned vehicles would become and it took 2 very wasteful wars to truly realize their potential. Its likely that any…

I just cancelled my War is Boring premium membership because I cannot take this story any more. Tyler is less biased than David Axe and crew but both fail to recognize how much aerial warfare has changed since the 1960’s.

They never even considered buying the B variant. They have however agreed to purchase 58 A variants with the possibility of buying 100 total.

I share your concern but that incident likely never happened.

Fuck off. Head on over to Gawker or Jezebel, you’ll be welcomed there with open arms. Also, considering our Constitution only explicitly allows for the blue and orange slices this chart is A-OK with me.

Gone way too soon :(

I wish I could star this more than once

I’m assuming you live in Michigan (so do I) and if you think just because you’re doing 75 in the far left lane and passing people that you’re entitled to be there you are, in fact, a fucking idiot.

I was surprised he could “piggyback” his way in too. Shit, even my mother’s collection law firm forbids the practice. She has fingerprint scanners, cameras, and there’s a zero tolerance cell phone policy, as in, you bring one in, you’re fired. Never thought she’d implement tougher security than a game developer...

I miss Pontiac too but there are 2 very good reasons for GMC to exist: profit margins, and customer loyalty. GMC is an industry leader in both.

You are a fucking retard.

Yup. MADL being canceled for the F-22 was a stupid decision but one that should be rectified within the next 5 years or so. http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/…

Couldn’t be further from the truth, especially with this jet. The whole F-35 concept is about networked information sharing and high situational awareness. Almost all of the recent U.S. aerial victories have been BVR, just look at the aerial victories during the first Gulf War. Keep in mind those were with AIM-7’s and…
