What scales of complexity do you equate A large pleasure vessel with some sat com and entertainment spaces powered large diesel engines. To an also large vessel, powered by twin nuclear vision generators with one of the most advanced liquid NaCl cooling loops ever devised. Shoots planes from it’s deck with friggin…

I like the Colorado, but Truck people typically don’t switch brands. I want to compare the market options and make a reasoned, well informed, and totally non biased decision. And ultimately ignore all of that and just buy a Ranger.

Isn’t that awesome though?

While I like a lot of these, the problem is that they rely on being up after sunrise. Both me and my wife are up at 4:30 am shooting to to leave the house before 5:45 am. I’d love to get ready as the sun peaked through the blinds, but sadly I see it first after getting off the train T_T

Shame to see WoW go by the way-side. It was a really good tie in to the story, and really built out the world tying into the past events. It is a pretty deep cut into the intersection of past marvel events sense Doom War into the goings on of Wakanda, especially tying Kasper back into T’Chala’s fold! I’m excited…

Iowa’s can “sprint” up to those speeds. Cruising there is dangerous for the ships power plants.

So yes the previous article was critical of the EMALS system. The article wasn’t calling for re-planning of the ship. The article largely focused on the problem with the design and build schedules where the technology and integration efforts were being figured out concurrent to the construction of the ship. The idea…

As 45 so eloquently phrased it, “Steam is brutal...” It is good at quickly accelerating heavy objects to take off speed. This requires planes to be designed with a great deal of internal reinforcment to handle the stresses of take off and landing (The same steam system is used for the arresting gear)

As the article…

Also, US passports come in different colors depending on your role. General purpose civilian passports are the blue and gold, US Government Officials have Red and Gold passports. I’ve seen Green and Brown, but I’m not aware of what they are for.

I’m going to need them to work on better lighting Rory, K thx.

Was excited to see this go up. I’ve been looking forward to it since I heard this weeks Hooniverse Podcast. Cross Promotion FTW!

That kinda misses the back half of the comment that the reason HBCU admin have to go, hat in hand, to meetings like this to justify their existence is that they have far lower levels of alumni support than many PWI’s.

Like people want to equivocate and shame their Alma Mater, but don’t get involved in the Alumni…

About the Urban centers without grocery stores? I invite you to visit the wonderful food deserts of Baltimore. Hell I live outside the city and still have a ways to travel before I get to a grocery store with decent meat or produce.

Not as crazy as you think. This is basically a super condensed Reaction System strapped to a small payload to disable the target.

The Navy, as surprising as this may be, does care about this. Partially as a result of environmentalist concerns about putting that much accoustic energy into the open ocean, and largely that energizing arrays like this is a good way to give up your position.

I heard stories about “The old days” when ships would pull…

I’m not clear on the expected outcome here. The thrust of the Chinese operations here is that these islands are their sovereign territory. Sailing by and fly over and ignoring their calls is different from staging a landing ...

Grew up black and in the south. I hate that stupid flag...

Thinks back on stacks of NDA’s, files of ethics docs, and hours of procurment training... FUCK...

I don’t really see what additional steps we could have been taken. We worked the angle of freedom of navigation, and between us and the international partners showed what our view on the claims of soverenty of the territory was. Short of knocking the sand back into the sea there’s not a lot more I’m aware of we could…

OMG! Seagulls, Fucking Seagulls at Naval Station Newport and Grotton have stolen more food and equipment from me than I am proud to list...
