  1. What about cars that never go near an on-ramp?

    Ever driven across Denver? Good luck getting anywhere without using an on-ramp.

  2. They were pretty close

    Sure they were.

    as I'm on a low-carb diet and eat less than many of my skinny coworkers.

    That has virtually everything to do with your gut bacteria; I recommend you (at least temporarily) lay off wheat and dairy (neuropeptides that, among other things, harm the lining of the intestines) and start taking probiotics... or better yet, eat kimchee...

    If obesity ever becomes a protected class

    If obesity ever becomes a protected class, we put a wall around Texas and Oklahoma (might even be able to monetize that shit: "World's Most Mundane Safari," we'll call it). ;)

    I can't believe none of you have figured out the significance of the "328 feet" figure. Like a taser, its projectile (net) is clearly tethered... in this case with a Cat5 cable.

    However the Russian helicopter that was shot down and destroyed by terrorists while trying to rescue the crew of the shot-down Su-24 was definitely hit by an American TOW missile.

    TOW: "tube launched, optically tracked, wired guided." Those still in use?? I was under the impression they were largely replaced by laser guided munitions over two decades ago (which were, in turn, made obsolete by GPS guidance).
