it's nice that future bikes completely ignore physics...

They're fairly already and operated at a distance... predators and reapers are flown from creech afb nevada and cannon afb new mexico... launch a recovery is handled by a seperate operational unit.

if by jetblue you mean united and american then yes.

that just means people like them.

What's wrong is the owners...

I wouldn't work if you drove it all the time... can probably ask rowan atkinson's mclaren mechanic about what daily driver 20+ year old uspercars are like.

also the photo at the top is a is an old 110 block telco mdf which hopefully I will never have to work on again.

you don't have to centralize the network in order to have the the instrumentation available to those who need it... centralized isn't necessarily more survivable or less prone to subversion. We build services and networks in the private sector that have no common backbone, because surprise-surprise, doing so is…

the controls in a glider are rather lively. when you have a 20 foot long aleron on each wing attached to the stick, you can feel pretty much everything.

the observation is totally appropiate.

" My grandfather's old Buick soaked up that road without a problem and it was a menace in rush hour traffic asserting its weight and size at will. Something a Nissan GT-R could never do on that road."

6 thousand pounds per wheel, traveling at 5-10 is going incur subtantially less wear than a bus traveling the same path at 55mph.

1 210 900 / 22 = 55 040 pounds per axle not 349 950

The heavy end of the VLJ segment.

she's being paid to stand there and the car is rented.

civic hybrid gets about 25mpg at 100mph, 335i does about 13mpg at least from some empirical testing. drag coefficient and lower rolling resistance are germain. I assume m3 gets worse but I don't have one handy.

when was the last time you bought a golf cart with 400nm of thrust.

it's a 6 liter 4 cylinder... if it got any stouter it would say caterpillar on it.

deploying manpads to engage approaching threats over an area as large as manhattan with many potential obstactles in your sightline doesn't sound like an exercise with a high probability of success.
