I’d hook up the link but I’m to lazy.

She’s done that. Has Mark Webber in it.

In addition to the rest of it, you can’t run a nuclear reactor forever. After 40 or 50 years, the pressure vessel starts to become brittle from the radiation exposure over time. You can’t replace an entire submarine reactor plant without essentially ripping its guts out and compromising the structural integrity of the…

Because, like all mechanical things, esp. military equipment they only last so long, even with SLEPs and other upgrades; things, break, get worn to the point that it’s too expensive to be worth replacing/fixing. The other matter is simply metal fatigue, a sub is, in some ways, a lot like a plane with a pressurized…

I think they will need another deep overhaul and refueling. They probably could be extended, but stealth is a big deal and sub tech has moved on a lot in some 40+ years

Short answer: upkeep, upgrades, and refueling. The refueling is no small or inexpensive feat and takes them out of service for a good while. Though certainly cheaper that buying a new one. The upkeep of these things is not easy and gets larger after every deployment. Plus, with every piece of technology, from phones…

Good article. With cars and many other goods, I feel like some people just want the best feature set per dollar and completely ignore, forget or don’t care about the level of service they will get.

Honestly, I’m kind of over the “Maldonado crashes a lot” joke, hence the mockery. I like seeing drivers actually improve, and Maldonado’s had crap luck all season. I hope the next smash doesn’t happen for a long time. Hold it together, man! We have faith.

Holy cow! I don’t know what to say except..........thank you, Patrick!

From a business jet to a water bomber to an airborne laser to an airborne telescope to an aerial refueling tanker to acruise missile launcher to a doomsday plane to an engine test bed, the platform has demonstrated its versatility for almost half a century. Later this summer, a decommissioned 747 will serve as a…

Many of the fans in Toronto (including this corner worker) think this event is the highlight of the weekend. (Sorry Indy Car). I placed my iPhone on the wall (set slow mo) and then got the hell away.

Um, this is what makes me proud to be an American.

For those of us that were around in Biblical times, it’s these little guys from Sprint.

Little Stadium Trucks!!!

Or you could just show a replay of all the Le Mans coverage that Fox Sports missed and we could stay behind and watch it.
