Huh? The behavior is shaped by the market itself. Computers get cheaper and more useful, therefor people buy more and more of them. Meat has been roughly flat in price over the last century, while incomes have soared, therefore people buy meat.

There’s a saying: go fast, go far, carry a lot when you get there. Pick 2. The F-35 is compromised in the same way ALL aircraft are compromised. Even if you don’t compromise on a single technical spec, you end up with a B-2 that costs 1/3 as much as an aircraft carrier. Per the Lightning, the STOVL engine isn’t even…

F-35 is still in LRIP. It wouldn’t really matter whether or not its software or weapons are ready because all F-35’s (minus about a dozen test aircraft) built from the beginning until 2018 will be used for the sole purpose of training so there will actually be enough qualified pilots to man all 2,500 F-35’s when…

The bay doors help create a cushion of air underneath the fuselage during vertical flight, much like the strakes added to Harrier II’s.

1) Yes, but you don’t really need them. Most of the test landings in the early phases of testing were done by looking out the window and watching the altimeter in the cockpit.

Why is a rich guy republican? Is there another party that advocates more for policies that benefit the rich?

You use “liberal” like an American would. Most places outside the 50 states use the term properly and apply them to right-leaning parties which espouse the rights of the individual, which is what the word means. Liberal rights = individual rights, which is why the term “liberal democracy” exists.

It’s called “quitting and getting a new job”. It works even better when you can get away with doing it on short notice. Hard pull off in the recession, sure, but it’s getting easier every day.

Not enough. Let’s be honest, no amount of money could ever be enough.

It’s not like swing trading stocks or looking at charts for non-existent patterns. First, interest rates have a lower bound...basically zero. We’re just about at that level. So there’s only a little room to go down and a lot of room to go up. Add the fact that it’s not likely rates will stay the same over the next 5…

I get blasted and yell at lawn furniture.

“Kind of agree” is a good response. I went full on asshole up there and no decent person should fully agree with that post.

I steal wireless from my neighbor. Paying for things is for rich people and Street Johns.

Forest? What forest? LOOK AT THIS ONE TREE! RIGHT HERE. TREE.

Jesus, get off your cross. Missing the point doesn’t make you a martyr.

Repeat after me: NOT. EVERYTHING. IS. ABOUT. YOU. You were so busy being offended about your fucking vest that you didn’t hear the sonic boom as the author’s point flew right over your head. Did you aspire to get that vest? Do you feel self concious about your income? No? THEN THIS DOESN’T APPLY. Congratulate yourself…
