Way to gender norm on seating position...

Because the manufacturer has a relationship with it’s customers. these are essentialy all build to order slots anyway and they’re sold out. so unless someone didn’t accept delivery there shouldn’t be one sitting on a lot.

> Had the mission actually flown, the astronauts on-board may well have died of radiation sickness after being hit with more (and more energetic) solar protons than their spacecraft was built to handle.

One doesn’t get to lob one at a super power because they come back in kind. After a couple of exchanges the big ones come out. The notion that they’re just big bombs in a tactical context doctrinally is belied by the fact that they haven’t been expended in any conflict since 1945. In effect the fact that 4000 of them…

and need a 747

The instrument varies based on the mission.

they are in fact both m113 v8s but don’t let me ruin it for you. it didn’t get to supercharger until 2002 so they’re in fact substantially less different then they were the following year.

plenty of s430’s will go for less then that.

Supercharged z28s used to be something you could find wrapped around a telephone pole. There are needless to say somewhat fewer of them remaining.

it’s a 1967 912 rebody. though given that’s been to florida, and none of the engine remains it’s relationship to the orginal donor car seems a bit marginal.

compare with an actual well sorted laser 917 build.

They got pushed into this role (2013) due to the shortage of ch53s for use in afghanistan. since the last of those was built circa 1978 the supply is, well, limited.

engine out is a pretty common problem space for GA aircraft

A 767-200 in non-commercial service has operating costs in the neighborhood of $13k an hour, a Gulfstream V is order of $8k. This is probably somewhat closer to the gulfstream then the 767 but it’s gonna be way more expensive then a smaller/more modern corprate jet. if you figure 10 passengers at $8k an hour you’re at…

The yuppy who spilled cristal/coke in the back of their e32 750il highline is now all grown up...

you’d think the mall ninja configuration would have a holosight and laser illuminator in some visible wavelength.

most components of a hybrid drivetrain are extremely durable. the least durable of which is the battey, which is composed of individual cells whose chemistry makes them easy to source.

0-6000M/s in a 20 meter long barrel is several hundred thousand G’s

You don’t really know what people cross-shop... Which was actually my point respecting the price these these are demanding in the aftermarket and therefore the accessibility (not how great a car it is), when we replaced an e90 335i in 2013 one of the things I drove which was a riot but not probably a great DD…

For every e60 m5 produced there are 50 regular 5 series with a variety of trims and options. so if you're flipping between a 550i that has lower maintenance, better fuel economy, and not an smg that you have to fight while parking or in regular city driving. and an m5 that's wild fun when you cane it, it's pretty easy…
