Respect for an actual apology on the internet.

WTF are you talking about? He said literally nothing whatsoever about the B-1. He relayed a (hilarious) story concerning one example, and nowhere inside of it did he ever say anything even approaching negative. I agree, Roger can be a bit critical at times, but you are seriously grasping at phantom straws here.

Tragically, the B-1B has a history of being on the garage sale circuit

When I was a Crew Chief we played many pranks like this. One time after a week of my jet being broke-dick (C-5, common) I was so fed up with it I ordered from supply the actual part number of the whole jet. FYI it's on the data plate on the pilots side window sill. Supply officer chased that part number down for 2…

Sure they'd do it, but they'd want another 15% over the top, and as everybody knows, there's no way you can get a cost overrun like that past guys who buy military aircraft.

Yes, the maintenance would be expensive, but it's not like it's an old Audi or anything.

Signage wouldnt matter? Then how would an outsider know what reasonable? So, by your extension, there would be no need for speed limits anywhere? And everyone would drive reasonable in school zones and dangerous roads? And everyone would stop for people in crosswalks? And don't worry about the kids running into the…

Yep! I'm all for a low limit here, but sticking a little sign on a four-wide artery ain't making that happen, no matter how many tickets you file.

GEORGE CLOS: Most cars don't have dipsticks anymore. You can't drink a six-pack with your friends and change the oil in front of your house.

How about Ace as compared to the later iteration, Cobra?

How damn cute are those little buggers. I think the original factory kits looked something like this:

You left off one: just about every American micro-brewer's IPA. The typical IPA brewed in this country is loaded with hoppy bitterness overkill to hide the fact that there's absolutely no other flavor in the beer. It's like the Starbuck's French Roast of beer.

There's no issue. He just wants us all to know that he's a dick.

Perhaps you've got a point.

I don't agree. He posits that if he were to be part of that 1% he's got a responsibility towards those who are less fortunate. That's an important nuance.

"Some people say I'm a hypocrite because I've got money now. When I was poor and I complained about inequality people said I was bitter, now I'm rich and I complain about inequality they say I'm a hypocrite. I'm beginning to think they just don't want inequality on the agenda because it is a real problem that…

"in Torch Lake" is incorrect. It's ON Torch Lake. Torch Lake isn't a township or a city. It's a Lake. I think that's Bellaire, isn't it?

That is not the problem.

Uh, you know that US, EU, and Canadian government officials were on the ground during Maidan, doing photo-ops, right? You know that they supplied funding too, right? You think the tents, food, organization of the protests was all "grassroots"? You've heard about the Nuland call, right? You know that Biden's son…
