I gotta be honest here. I’m actually pretty impressed that this thing looks as good as it does. This clearly wasn’t built by some idiot that just learned how to lay fibreglass at his mom’s arts and crafts workshop.

They do wear out. The belts break down over time when exposed to UV light. It’s the same reason racing seat belts/harnesses have an expiration date. Plastic also degrades over time and becomes brittle.

“if we evolved from monkeys, why are there monkeys?”

It’s pretty questionable whether they had any function at launch. The vehicle would exceed safe speeds within a minute after launch, and any failure of the vehicle would likely spread burning solid rocket fuel over many square miles (including the airspace the ejection seats are flying through).

So the DNC wanted a Democrat and not a Socialist to win its primary...

The initial purpose is not to shoot down other planes. The initial purpose is for self defense, and not even to destroy a incoming missile. The first iteration will be more then likely tasked with burning out the seekers (IR or Radar) on A2A and G2A missiles. You can probably do this with 10kw in a pod.

There is nothing that anyone could say to me that would convince me that Gregory did not eat that little girls pancakes. Of course he did.

I know right? Way to miss the point. Twitter shouldn’t be a president’s official platform.

That’s Justin Verlander, who won a World Series AND gets to seek solace in the ample bosom of Kate Upton.

I’m a Giants fan and I legitimately feel bad for Kershaw. And we will never shut up, we’ll just come up with something else.

As a Giants fan: congrats Houston.

This technically wasn’t playing the game wrong, but every time I killed someone in Morrowind, I’d steal their pants. I was kind of hoping that after a while I’d overhear some NPCs talking about a serial killer who steals his victim’s pants.

Santa is real! He touched my butt a few years ago during a photo shoot and joked that he was “checking for Kringleberries.”

John Hodgman is a god damned National Treasure, and I say that even though I have been banned from his events, after a nasty incident where I tried to sneak out with him stuffed in my pocket. I almost made it, only getting caught after people noticed that on no level did my plan make any sense whatsoever.

We all have our biases, I suppose! It’s a legit argument sometimes, like with the Governor (I didn’t agree but I get the debate on it). Negan, though, naw. Rick is terrible, but Negan is institutionally the worst.

The ex-VW owner probably comes out ahead in the long-run.

Well, the literal BIGGEST vehicle surprise IMO is the AT-AT transport ship in the background of the Emperial base hangar sequence. If you are like me, you’ve wondered how those AT-ATs make it down onto a planet surface in the first place. Looks like these transports carry six at a time.

This guy is one of the weirdest dudes I’ve ever watched, and I love it - especially his fearless Daily Double wagering, which will almost certainly end him at some point but also has won him a good chunk of his money.
