Dat Zeonic Toyota. I can't wait to see more of the stuff they start to produce !

I spent a number of years doing dev work as an engineer. A
sailor came over to me one day while I was monitoring some test equipment, and asked me what I was doing. I politely answered pretty succinctly, he smiled nodded and requested I explain it English. I knida laughed inside realizing my back of hand knowledge was…

I’m at my desk crying at how funny and true this is!!!

It's been two years since I had to do one of those, and it still gives me shivers to remember it.

I think you missed comparison with selective reading, and then crossed the points being made.

The full point for "as good as any jet" referred to fight/strike fighter mission sets being performed by "fast jets" like F/A 18 supers: "including precision strike as good as any jet burning gas way faster over Iraq right…

I actually dealt with this a few weeks ago. I had been contracting as an Engineer, outside my area of interest, with a company, and was offered a higher paying transitional position with a company working in the field I want to make my career in.

That's actually pretty brilliant.

If you look at the scale of the British Carriers, their not Super Carriers. They are about the same size and tonnage as our Marine assault carriers and Amphib ships. (Which are conventionally powered). When you start pushing over the 1000 ft keel length, and the split flight decks like we operate on our Super's then…

The stability and ship shock characteristics were test on the Sea Jet prototype which you can read about on the Lake Pend Orielle write…

The Greensboro, NC PD love their ghost cars. I've seen a stanced Subaru STI swerving through traffic only to kick on take down lights and a siren, and pull someone over. Not to mention the time I got pulled over by a Murdered out Toyota Tacoma outside my apartment complex...
