  1. What is funny is that Dems think they are so intelligent and only they have a sense of humor. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  2. So to sum up your philosophy, might makes right. Is that correct? No. It means that if you're going to start a war, it is really stupid to do so if your military is lousy. It also means that if your enemy has a lousy military but starts a war with you anyway, it is OK to pursue a decisive military victory even though the enemy doesn't match up well militarily.

  3. When will production actually stop? Hopefully with some foreign sales and more forced retirment of C-141s and C-5s...many more of those things really should be put out to pasture. Unfortunately, Europe is developing their own jet military transport, so a big chunk of the usual potential foreign market is loyal to that effort. How about a fire fighting water drop version? 747s have also been seriously considered for this.

  4. Including many at first well documented by the press atrocities that didn't actually happen. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  5. No need to answer the question that does not matter. Of course more Lebanese civilians died. The Israeli military is much more effective. So did more German and Japanese civilians die during WWII than civilians of England and US. The Israelis wanted to achieve victory in a real shooting war and end the threat from Lebanon. There is no reason that Israel should feel sorry for the lousy military of their enemies. War is not fair.

  6. Your question implies that the numerical answer will show which side wants to/cares more about killing civilians. I reject that completely. Why should the Israeli response be proportionate? Our response to Afghanistan after 9/11 was disproportionate. A president Gore would more likely just sent cruise missles as a response and declared it all good.

  7. Is that really your jumpsuit? Kelly would be crazy to not put you in an ad. Is that to reduce the amount of weight you have to wear? I always remember you being able to fall fast enough because you were pregnant - but John took care of that...snip How much did the different embroidery areas cost (edit - never mind, I see you did it yourself)?

  8. That was only done for the first couple 777s, because P&W was behind schedule, so having them build up the nacelle before shipping helped, but it was too big for 747 freighters.

  9. Quite right. But I can't find in the directions exactly how to judge a "very hot day", so I don't see how someone can follow the instructions.

  10. You were able to make sense of that double speak from the Vigil letter? Please help us understand. What was so extreme about how they were handled? Sunlight doesn't get into most trunks. Lightning strike level of probability? I say that an incident is no longer isolated when it has lots of company.

  11. I'd say about $1400 That's my guess. I want to see how close I come to what others that do it for a living say. Does it fit you well or not?

  12. Are you sure of the reason? Whether liquid or air cooled, if not designed well, either could overheat. An air cooled bike is not inherently more vulnerable. How would you know if an air cooled bike overheats? I can't think of an air cooled bike that had a temp gauge. I suppose that when the engine seizes that is a clue, or perhaps it would run badly.

  13. 20 years ago, it was legal in California for bikes to go between cars (on the line) as long as they were not going above a certain speed, and were not passing the car over a certain speed. That was many years ago, maybe the laws have changed. I was surprised to find out it was legal.

  14. There is a way to fix that - open one of the emergency exits and deploy the slide. Might get in trouble for it though...

  15. Joule is a metric unit for energy. Joule heating is the name referred to electronics generating heat while a current is passed through a circuit. Both terms are named after James Prescott Joule. A google search can help those without a formal education in physics. . I'm so sorry. I quickly assumed that it was just a made up term. I don't remember that term being used. I do have a formal education in mechanical engineering, thermodynamics was my area of emphasis, but that was 20 years ago. So sorry to have offended without even bothering to look it up. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  16. Did Venezuela leave OPEC or something? No, don't think so. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  17. We spend Billions on waging war with the military. Why not consider an oil boycott as a weapon even if it does mean we're paying more for oil? A strange sort of economic sanction, but we would lead the world in R&D for new technologies.

  18. The Joule is the metric (SI) unit of energy. It is not a type of heating. Anyway, electronics dissipate energy as heat. We don't even know how long it takes for the temp to rise inside the unit, due to all the insulation. It might take hours for it to matter. If I were going to keep using a Vigil, I'd also be turning it on/off for each jump to help keep the internal temp down as much as possible.

  19. ...and their pride did not allow them to request help? I hope it is all just a show - identify where he is and let the US blow him up with plausible deniability of Pakistani involvement. Still, it shouldn't be needed. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  20. I don't find the term terrorist/terrorism very useful. What is essential is that Al Qaeda has explicitly declared war against us. Many would deny that we are at war. Many would choose to pretend like it is just a nuisance, treat it as a law enforcement issue.

  21. It could wind up costing more than expected. It could costly to politicians if the public perceived little value, it might be hard to get the public to appreciate the changes that might happen in the world politically. The changes in oil exporting countries might cause some war that wouldn't have happened it they had remained fat on oil revenue. I suppose it could be used to justify a terrorist attack, "the US has declared economic war against us..." It is kinda like what environmentalists have advocated - much more aggressively subsidizing the creation of alternative energy sources, being willing to accept high energy costs, but doing it for different primary reasons.

  22. Quite right. Chavez will be out of luck also. Oil has for so long been thought of as a weapon at our throats. I say turn it around, because when oil is going for around $70/barrel we have economically viable alternatives. The US economy hasn't stopped, and we can confidently tell Venezuela and others we don't want their oil. Oil turns into our weapon, at a price that we know we can live with. It would spur a lot of activity/jobs in oil and also alternative fuel sources, by 'artificially' setting a minimum price of sorts. This would encourage investment in new alternatives, because there is less risk, compared to the possiblity of cheaper oil in the future.

  23. I try to be more optomistic about politicians. With some exceptions they all want to do good, but by going different ways. I'd much rather we rely on Mexico and Canada for more of our oil imports than the mideast members of OPEC. BUST OPEC! or at least make them irrelevant.

  24. The US military is no longer thought of as a paper tiger. UBL actually believed he could defeat us in Afghanistan as they did the Soviets. I remember when the CBS show 60 minutes was alarming the public about how the Abrams tank was so awful and would never work in real battle conditions. That type of assesment of US military capability was common. It has been proven very wrong.

  25. DM is great! A very witty cartoon without a bunch of screeching/yelling from the characters. The voices are perfect for the characters.
