Did the Judge just challenge Volkswagen, the makers of shortcutting, cheating cars, to meet a deadline?!? Does he know who he’s dealing with?

I had a chance to run with a bunch of old F-14 pilots for a while. Their opinion is that the SuperHornet was the best self-licking ice cream cone until the F-35C came about. That said, if you do a spec stack against everything else that's out there (thrust to weight, range, payload and wing loading be critical) it's a…

I dunno if this is a bright idea. Our IT guy is busy enough without fixing chairs and I am already very concerned with what he does when the night is dark and full of terrors.

but... but... War is Art.

AH Weinerschnitzel, they snuck up on our northern flank, RUN AWAY schnell! schnell!

It is, isn’t it? Elegance is timeless.

She’s sexy sure, but if you’re in dire need of parts, supplies, medicine or that letter home. This grand old lady is the prettiest aircraft ever made.

If I were king for a day, I’d tow one of the old BATTLESHIP relics out there. I’d throw out some news that it was armed with the latest anti-area tech, but probably just leave it unmanned and unarmed. It would terrify and confuzzle the living daylights out of them.

You need more stars. I always vote for the lesser of two evils every election. In that regards, this election has me sorely confuzzled.

“harnessing of atomic energy just might hold the key to universal peace and travel to distant planets.”

I know exactly how they would have reacted.

I’m with you, but my Ford Ranger came factory direct with mostly Miata parts, so I guess I’m the just part of the chorus?

Feh, this is more defense then politics and Tyler is freakishly fast and accurate in breaking this kind of stuff. The fact that war is an extension of politics by other means, means Tyler has a very keen interest in who gets to handle the scary red button.

Feh, look up an earlier foxtrot-alpha article interviewing a maintainer. It’s a horrendously expensive but maintainable aircraft. Also run the numbers with the F-35 clean and at half fuel load. It's a surprisingly spry aircraft. It just can't dance with full fuel and bombtrucking like some legacy planes can.

You need to go the other way. After all, it is captained by James Kirk.

It’s adorable! oh wait.

Nifty. Since we’ve been bumming rides from them, maybe we should co-op again and do this trick on one of our nifty new mega rockets. (God I hope it's finished by 2030!)

Another pro tip.

So 1 to 2 is healthy what did the study say about 10 to 200?

I'm just going to drop a pic of the American "jeep" replacement. It's like the Chinese one, only with, you know, guns, armor and more guns!
