"it's working"? Care to explain your definition of working? Because if your definition is limited to no hijackings happening in the US after 9/11, they failed (twice) but were saved by passengers and stupidity. Even if we assume those weren't their failures, you would get the same results by telling everyone they…
What I'm arguing against is mainly the utter and complete lack of consequence for the actions of these people. They are people, yes. They make mistakes, yes. But we have given them so much authority, no- so much immunity- that they feel that they can get away with anything, because they actually, usually do get away…
The difference is the the average civilian has never sworn to protect X, Y, Z and uphold the integrity of A, B, C and does not get paid through the tax dollars of the people he's fucking over. The difference is that the average civilian does not have automatic, unquestioned right in a court of law. The difference is…
I have a fun one about stalling:
Google Image Search? I know what you're thinking, but I'm pretty sure he's not turning that truck into a foundation or looking for groundwater ;)
I'm wondering if you could point me toward news articles mentioning undocumented aliens DUI and killing babies and leaving the scene. Thanks!
Well, the distinction (in my mind, anyway) is that the cockpit that you posted involves many different components manufactured by many different companies, that can often be interchanged, and not all of the functions are used in every case.
Yeah, but the nice thing about space is that generally, if you take your eyes off the "road" for a second, you won't hit anything. If you do, it wouldn't have mattered whether or not you took your eyes off!
Yeah, that 1% would be from other states. They would also be the minority to understand that pedestrians have right of way on crosswalks.
Exactly! Just imagining the collective testosterone levels of Alonso and Vettel, Kimi and Button's determination, and the pestering of guys like Perez, Bottas, Ricciardo, and Magnusson... Sorry... I was day-dreaming for a second there.
Never experienced it,personally, but I would definitely say that it looks so much classier than a Beetle. It's the equivalent of walking around with walking stick, monocles, and a handle-bar mustache. Probably smoking tobacco out of a pipe. Just because all of those pieces would be done on a budget doesn't make them…
My mom had one of these many years ago. She tells a story of one day asking a bunch of kids playing soccer in the street (I'm sure you've figured out by now that this was very far from the US) to put it in a parking spot for her. I believe there were 6 of them. Took a few seconds.
Well, actually, we can't really pay for school anymore. Let's just say I'll be proud to finish an MS with a total of $20K in loans, which is sad, considering that 10 years ago my scholarship for undergrad would've paid for everything.
Yeah, but on the plus side, at this rate, Merc will have such a nice margin built up that even when Nico and Lewis inevitably take each other out, they won't see that as a reason to tell them to stop battling, AND we'll get at least one race where the hungry pack of wolves suddenly get to fight over a randomly…
Money can buy cars, houses, wives, and elections. Thankfully, however, it cannot quite yet buy brains.
He was hurting because he got beat under conditions that technically favored him. What that little picture shows is that he and Hamilton still get along as teammates, while also competing to their full ability on the track.
When Formula One fans talk about "team orders," they usually mean one thing – a driver in the lead is asked to pull over (or worse) to help ensure that their teammate in the race secures a better points position. The reasons why they could be issued are complex, but usually they revolve around promoting one driver's…
As an engineer who has already experienced the effects of MBA's in both a research environment at a (public) university, and at the industrial level, I could not agree more. Between MBA's and finance/economics majors, we've completely lost sight of what really matters, and it doesn't look like slowing down anytime…
Shit happens. While I'll probably never own anything like this, either, I have managed a drive in a Quattroporte. In college. At the ripe-old age of 20.
