By existing infrastructure you mean rail? That is because the railroads didn’t maintain it after the highway system got built. To make things worse they let go of people who built the railroads. Those people started their own companies and the railroads outsourced building things like signaling to them. Problem now is…

Lived in Hampstead back in 00-01. The tube was fine. No AC just like the rest of europe. The smell? Well that was london in general and the same goes for any major metropolitan city. The not running 24/7 was a bit weird, but planning around it only left me stuck walking home once.
Regardless I would take the tube over…

SSBNs still hold a place in acting as a nuclear deterrent for mad purposes. That being said, only 41 subs? Cry me a river. Our military is the definition of overkill anymore. What would be better than this drivel of an article is a realistic explanation of what is actually *NEEDED*. Not what the military industrial…

Oh, please do not peddle that dribble here.
“They will switch en masse to self-drive electric vehicles (EVs) that are ten times cheaper to run than fossil-based cars, with a near-zero marginal cost of fuel and an expected lifespan of 1 million miles.”

That article is such a crapfest of futurist idealism as to waste the…

Bub’s is really all you need though. Well, maybe not their breakfast location, but the main one is tops.

Depends on the royal. The Queen of England makes the UK more money than she gets from them. For the last few hundred years the British Monarchy has given the country all proceeds from their land in return for a stipend. It is quite a bit of land too and well out earns the stipend by several times. Would not be…

The point of the article is that it is hard to *collect* MS games. Anyone with half a brain would just emulate these on their pc if they just wanted to play.

FSOF is not really that true. A lot of rich slave owners went bankrupt after investing in the confederacy. *Source a rich ancestor went bankrupt after investing heavily into the confederacy* *Also before you call me an FSOF you can give my back my land as there is also just as much Native American blood running…

Aero on sportbikes is problematic. If they were enclosed in a shell their mpg would go up quite a bit.

Owner of an NC Club and frankly an NC would lose as well. NC has a few more ponies, but a bit fatter as well. Newer one has a better suspension and chassis is more rigid.

Writer is a bit of a moron. The Audi R8 driver in indiana whose license plate says CPTSlW is a GOD.

That is a helicopter.

We haven’t needed new B-52's. We destroyed many of them simply to make a deal with Russia. We never had a need to restart production of the SR-71. The fuel was an issue and yes we wanted to bring it back after being mothballed, but there just wasn’t a need for new airframes.

The same could be said of the BONE, B-2,…

And who are we going to fight that won’t be permissive? When is the last time we went toe to toe with a technological equal?

China? Russia? Not happening because the fear of the other side using nukes when they start to lose.

I know they do it with the vette.

Unstoppable when working.

Agreed, let’s say ww2 ended in a similar fashion without nukes.

Military is partly to blame. Congress is partly to blame. The american people are partly to blame.

Military is a mix of penny pinching and using things as long as possible, but wasting anything if it means their budget might get cut.

Except now you have random strangers thrashing the crap out of your very expensive car. Renters don’t care about tire wear, brake wear, or redlining the engine when cold.

Add in tires, brakes, and then the notion that your very nice super car is getting run into the ground and its not worth it.
