I don’t know, it flew pretty far.

On the contrary, the US is the only carrier Force to use flat deck catapulted launches, I believe, France may also do it. But everybody else uses the ski jump deck.

Then you had to bring in bulldozers to bury those bulldozers and so on. Some say they are still burying bulldozers to this day; they don’t even know why they do it, just that it’s the way it’s always been done.

Yes, you are missing the part of the article that quotes Bloomberg saying that the intended destination was the US but due to market conditions during the voyage it makes more economic sense to sail them around the Caribbean for a bit to see where they can sell the cargo for more than what they would get in the US.

It’s as if a middle schooler were attempting to write an article for the New Yorker about a man whose never seen the ocean attempt to review a boat.

There’s guy in my building that has a 328 debadged with the m performance grill and carbon fiber side mirrors and deck lid spoiler, still only has exhaust tips on one side, not fooling anybody. Every day I’d pull in to the garage, park on the same floor and shake my head. Then I noticed the “BMW of Dallas” plate…

I made the mistake of watching The Day After when it was broadcast on tv. Not sure why I had sole command of the TV that young, but I remember waking up to nightmares of the Russians bombing us. It was strange, long after the Cold War cooled down, I still would wake up thinking I heard Bears passing overhead.

For one that quotes statistics, your citation of car related deaths actually shows that per capita SA has over twice as many car related deaths than the US.

I still love MacGyver and it holds up well. What I realized on rewatching it, was that they frequently used plots of popular movies at the time. They even had an episode that was essentially Air Wolf.

No mention of the Frank Lloyd Wright designed station in Cloquet Minnesota

If these dbags wanted a real adventure they'd do the Mongol Rally. I've dreamed about running it for the better part of ten years.
