What sort of POS were you driving that you couldn't brake in the same distance as the truck ahead of you?
Which doesn't negate the remainder of your story. This used to be SOP on I270 in MD. I think they stopped it following too many near misses (although every now and then you see a cop hop out in front of 70 mph traffic).
Pay taxes? 'Their' loss is your loss as well. And nice that you singled out only the US despite the usually half assed summary mentioning four other countries.
See? I told you I'd probably get the quote wrong. I suggest you refer those pedants to Carlin; he'll certainly listen to criticism. (He won't change his act, but that's hardly a change.)
"Sell at a loss, but make it up in volume" has been a failed tactic in business for millenia. As much as people shit on business degrees on slashdot, maybe they need to point their guns at whoever wrote this article.
The F-35 is not the problem. There will always be people lining up to fly the newest, hottest fighter. The problem is finding pilots for slow, unarmed, propeller-driven cargo planes on the milk run into Kabul or Basra.
How are they doing on their quote of people flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong? Or is that more a Navy specialty?
Now the A-10 is a plane that should never have be retired. It WAS the primary defense against a Soviet Invasion of western Europe
The A-10 is still in service, and won't be retired until 2028 at the very least. I predict it will be the C-130 of fighter/attack craft, just like the C-130 is the Energizer of cargo planes. Just keeps going and going and going...
B52s laugh at these silly newcomers to the flying game.
I would like to see some comparisons of average screen size then to IMAX today. Maybe it's the kid vs. adult perspective, but modern IMAX doesn't impress me as much as "To Fly!"
Tom Cruise and Will Smith both get some IRL downmods due to attempts to inject their religion into their movies. I think Cruise is mostly past that, but After Earth has some $cientology stink on it.
Not just movies, but plays and books as well. This article, the summary, and 90% of the commentary show how poorly read and informed 'geeks' are, and that more mandatory humanities courses should be required.
Movies used to be a form of art, not a form of science. And the science is not there to make a good movie, but how to extract as much money as possible.
You've got to be shitting me. Since when? Shakespeare knew his crap was formulaic fodder to fill the cheap seats. Dickens got paid by the word, and it shows when served compiled into one tome instead of delivered serially. Where is this mystical, altruistic past where 'we did it for the art, man!'?
Can't speak to NZ, but the reason I posed the question is that the US show is edited quite a bit as well. I think they look for more confrontational events to make for more 'exciting' TV. I'm also wondering if what either of us see is the same as the twice edited shows that we can see in export versions.

Leave it to an African company to understand, and try to get it as right as they can.
Canada is in Africa now? Boy, the maple syrup drinkers are gonna be surprised at that one.
Maybe has something to do with the 'NBC/Universal' portion of Comcast?
The most accurate rifle in the world is near worthless if the sights are off.
Precision is not accuracy.
Black Tigers obviously...
Isn't rap already legal? Why outlaw a form of music?
Because some genres push hard at the boundaries of Sturgeon's Law.
Depending on where you are every traffic offense is criminal.
Out of curiosity, name one (in the US, which is the broad area we are discussing).

and in every category of disease, men are afflicted more than women and are more likely to die from said disease.
Breast cancer?
If one man and one woman each contract breast cancer, the man is far, far more likely to die.
No true Scotsman. Got it.
With the surplus of children we have after banning airplane flights, we can afford to spare a few to feed the terrorists.
But my modest proposal had them assigned to be fed to the Irish.
Can't you be nice to Eugene?

Gonna be real hard for Carlin to change his act, even if you present a compelling argument.
The jury doesn't need to 'find' him innocent. His innocence is presumed by the American legal system unless and until there is a finding of 'guilty'.

Reread the post. I'm betting he lies somewhere on the autistic spectrum himself.

I'm in the UK, haven't had a TV for about ten years*
I bet you're the coolest guy in your wine tasting club.
Thank you for sharing your life with us.
ramen doesn't come in purple
I believe the poptarts he referred to are available in purple. As are donuts.
