A cruise missile can hit a 1 square meter target. This can only hit a 50 square meter target.
It's worse than that. An accuracy of 50 m means a circle of 50 m radius, which is 7900 m^2, not 50 m^2. If the cruise missile does indeed have an accuracy of 1 m (dubious), that would be 3 m^2.
Imagining a military invasion from overseas is ludicrous. You couldn't possibly support an amphibious assault against opposition with that length of highly vulnerable and spectacularly expensive oceanic supply train. It is, however, easy to imagine invading South America from overseas, building up bases there, and marching north.
But it's silly to worry about that. First, because of nuclear deterrence. And more importantly, because who the fuck wants a gigantic banana republic with no industrial base anyway. And finally, because we have invited the hordes to culturally invade us and wipe out our identity, so there is no more "us".
The big naval guns of WW1 were 12-14" and fired projectiles weighing 500-900 kg. The big naval guns of WW2 were 16" and fired projectiles weighing 1000-1200 kg. And those projectiles cost practically nothing.
This piece of useless junk with its 100 kg projectiles is a pipsqueak.
Indeed you do. Good thing the machine has 4 of them (or 2 if you get the low end model).
No it doesn't, Sparky. Not regular Type A USB connectors, which are the kind that everybody's card readers and flash drivers have. How much goddam room would a fucking micro-SD slot take up? Close to zero. I agree a full-size SD slot would be non-trivial to support in thee pygmy paper-thin toys, but micro-SD is what everybody has.
It's more fun to calculate 1%/annum exponential growth to a very modest (even in terms of human history) years. I'll do it for you. 1 year: 1.01 10 years: 1.10 100 years: 2.70 1000 years: 21,000 10,000 years: 1.64E+43 100,000 years: 1.4E+432 1,000,000 years: 2.4E+4321
Go ahead, define "selling in Tennessee", I dare you. I don't think you can; not with any sincerity. If I order something from a webpage of some Chinese based outfit, and tell them to ship it to Massachusetts, are they "selling it in Massachusetts"? No rational person would think so.
You have poor reading comprehension. Does not targeting group X with advertising: * abridge any citizen's privileges or immunities? NO. * deprive any citizen of life, liberty, or property? NO. * deny any person equal protection of the law? NO.
Does it have anything whatever to do with proportional apportionment of representation? NO.
Does it have anything whatever to do with eligibility of candidates for President, Vice President, Senator, Representative, or holding civil or military office? NO.
In case you're talking about "civil rights" rather than the subject of this article, the Fourteeth Amendment has absolutely squat to say about personal or business discrimination. All laws based on that absurd premise are VOID on their face.
No, it's not self-explanatory. It's some kind of hipster language. Movies and TV shows have always had producers and directors, and that pretty well covers "running" the show. The fact is that a "show runner" is actually an executive producer who is also a writer. So just CALL him that.
And it was utter CRAP. The NiCads had miserable energy capacity. Battery capacity started to plummet after the first cycle. There was no provision for balance charging the individual cells, or cutting off the discharge when one of the cells discharged before the others and was driven into destructive reverse charge. Memory effect was just awful. Self discharge rate was prodigious.
Take an economics course and study up on "time value of money".
Paying off an investment of $6.8 billion over 40 years, even at only 3% per annum interest is a total expenditure of over $11.6 billion. So that takes your 1.5 cents to 2.6 cents, and then you have to add staggering amounts for very highly trained operating personnel, security, insurance, decommissioning at EOL, waste disposal, etc. And the fuel does cost SOMETHING. Before you know it, your costs are up to at least the going rate for wholesale electricity.
The population is close to a 50-50 ideological split, but the media is well over 90% in the bag for one side, with a constant drumbeat of support. The debates are ALWAYS hosted by these agents working tirelessly for one side. The TV and print news is ALL grossly slanted. The entertainment industry is practically a solid cheering section. Twisted "comedians" spend all their time sneering viciously at one side.
A single agent stands up and tries to fight back and provide a little balance and you have the temerity to call THAT one-sided?

Shrillary would have been an extreme danger to end the human race via WW III.
Flat-out wrong. In addition to Bush I, Carter was 4 years between two R's.
Congress MAY agree to build a wall, but the actual result would probably make the F-35 program look like something inexpensive and effective.
Every single person in the US agrees that right around half the people are idiots. They just do not agree on who the idiots are.

You wouldn't NEED a VA if there was no defense spending, because that would mean you had no defense and no veterans.

Only in that they POSE as a store, not an agent. False advertising.
But you don't know that they do. Many do not.

All right, I'll bite. Why in the Christ don't they use plain SMS, for God's sake? Things that make you go "WTF".
Only a chump would even think of PAYING for SMS. I certainly get unlimited SMS for my measly $35/month Virgin no-contract "plan".
"There were been rumors" - nice grammar there. NOT.

And gasoline engines produce gasoline. And fire engines produce fire.
Well, of COURSE they're not going to come out and SAY "Kerry threatened and scared us, so we caved in". Sheesh.
