This kind of thing makes me wonder why Nintendo doesn’t just do like they’ve done with the iOS/Android market and realize that hardware-independence is the way to go... and then release games like this on Steam/PS4/XB1. What kind of incredible increase in software sales would they get if they started making…

Pretty sure Dallas fans shot a man for wearing the wrong colors, so I’m pretty sure that one wins...

Different models, eras. My dad restored and sold them. The late model cars are, in my estimation, by far the more worth buying. More reliable, faster, better looking. Since getting S4's we’ve only had two the family. Good luck finding a manual under $20k now though...

Ugh... kinja’d. Deleting to place this one in the right place...

Really? Have you owned any? My family has had 5-6, and I can confidently say these are relatively reliable, decent cars as long as you know where to buy parts and you drive it often. The worst issues come from the car sitting and from lack of scheduled maintenance.

Gotta say, hat tip to you for just keeping a good perspective about this all at the end of the day. Certainly a shitty situation but it’s rare to someone say “wow, that was shitty, but I learned something valuable!”

oh... dammit, meant this link:

This is the sim you really want... Based on back-in-the-day’s Falcon 4.0 (which featured full dynamic theatres), it kicks ass.

Meh, Tyler’s gone. It’s clear already what’s going on with this site...

I love the A-10 (see Avatar photo). That said, I understand what the general is saying here. He said plainly “I don’t want to retire it”. The USAF (and the rest of the military) is bound by the *smallest* spending per US GDP in over 50 years. They’ve already made drastic cuts (medium-class aggressor squadron, anyone?)…

is the new site still going to be defense-related? I frankly can’t be arsed for new car news... but you’re a damned good source for interesting defense/foreign policy news.

NHTSA says they can’t do that unfortunately... pedestrian impact regs and all that.

See, one of the biggest errors both manufacturers and the gov’t is making here is that they’re making it harder and harder to see anything NOT covered by headlights. I recently had a long conversation with the family eye doctor about this: Our bodies are built to adapt at night. The reason headlights practically…

They’re built for high-speed NOE incursions into enemy territory. Yes - I would say barrel rolls are supported as a subset of that broader capability ;)

This guy making these kids did some really nice work in tucking all the pipes away from common service items like the oil filter/spark plugs while still keeping everything attractive/functional. If I ever own another 928 it’ll eventually end up with one of these kits. It’s pricey as all get-out ($12,000), but damn if…

As far as 928 turbo systems go, this one is relatively well engineered and easy enough to work on. It may look like a nightmare but it’s not as bad as a lot of mustang turbo kits simply by nature of the way the frame and everything is configured. It’s not like a muscle car with huge engine bay easy obviously but it’s…

Have you owned a 928? They’re really not THAT bad. His would only be marginally worse.

Aw, bummer. I mean I understand naval aviation today spends very little time making use of supersonic speeds, but you’d think the fact that we’re now ending up with real possibilities of combat with neer-peer states with actual competitors for air superiority, having the ultimate range/speed advantage that the F-14…

That said, though... were you flying the Hornet while the Tomcat was still in business? Do you think those guys feel the same way?

Also... if you were flying during the times of the Tomcat... how’d it feel to be stuck in the slower jet? ;)

... Except the Phalanx system fires something like 4,500 rounds per minute. The volume of fire in the general vicinity of whatever the CIWS is firing at is fairly hefty. You’re not going to see that from railguns.
