And people wonder why the military spends so much. There’s so much in the way of politics that wastes money. I once worked on a military program that was mandated by Congress which cost around $300,000 a year and was basically worthless. There’s hundreds of such programs out there plus daily interference from…

No decompression at 700 feet off the ground with the landing gear down.

Silly clickbait title.

A size 11 shoe print on their azz might be an indicator or a cure.

It eventually will when the cylinders wear out.

I once owned the 1995 Pontiac 6000 version of that car in the same color but with the 4-cylinder Iron Duke in it. It was a great vehicle, and my young children loved the rear seat.

Also in that instance the aircraft’s engine had inlet guide vanes (IGV’s) which adjust the flow of air before hitting the fan blades. That could stop the body from hitting the fan blades. Most modern jet engines don’t have IGV’s so there’s nothing to stop the body from getting chewed up.

The F-111D could fly at 100,000 pounds but could only take off at under 90,000 pounds. In Flight Refueling was the answer.

Play stupid games and win stupid prizes.

I have two friends who are landlords and soon they won’t be hated. They are selling their rental properties. After years of having bad tenants and then the government stopping them from evicting these bad tenants, they are throwing in the towel. With the crazy housing market, they aren’t having any trouble selling…

Agreed about cotton. It’s about the worst thing to wear while cycling or running. On the other hand, polyester products like CoolMax and Lycra are great when sweating as they wick away the sweat. I remember wearing wool jerseys when cycling back in the day and they were OK but not as good as modern technical wear like …

What could possibly go wrong?

Congrats on saving a very interesting bike.

I had the pleasure of seeing R5's racing a Silverstone back around 1990 when I was stationed in England. It was pretty funny seeing them bounce around, and off, the track.

More like a ‘60s Studebaker Hawk GT.

I owned a BL Princess II when I lived in England. I wouldn't pay one tenth of the asking price for that car or anything like it.

If my son has to register for the draft, my daughters should also.

In 1993 I had a teenager pull out in front of me at a stop sign. I was wearing a bright red jersey and there were no obstructions but he said that he didn’t ‘see’ me. I went over the hood and through the antenna leaving a whip mark. I did a 3-point landing (head and both hands) then slid on my back over concrete that…

I use to ride my bike 4000+ miles on the road. However with drivers so distracted, I ride 90% of my miles on bike paths which gets boring. When I do ride on the road, it’s on barely used country roads out in the boondocks.

Just some silly news media scare stories.
