Hybrid trains are around now. Trains always used to direct electricity generated from braking to big load banks on the roof of the locomotive. In 2007 GE rolled out the first hybrid train that stores the braking energy in a battery bank instead of just dumping it to a giant heater.
You ARE a troll supreme. I had one of those Mercedes and it was a dirty bastard. It would just about suffocate anyone behind me at a red light. The exhaust from my modern gasoline car is barely detectable unless you run a hose from the exhaust pipe up your nose or something.
I bought a boat engine direct that had issues and was a nightmare to get serviced under warranty. Next engine I paid some extra $$ and bought from a local dealer who was happy to fix it when needed. Choice is good.
I think you are talking "old money". I have old money relatives that look - on the surface - poorer than I am. I wouldn't be caught dead in one of their ratty old rustbucket Volvo 240s, but they have more money than God. The type I am talking about are engaged in an endless dick-waving contest and really need that extra $$ to be a little bit richer than their perceived competition. Think "Gordon Gecko" or the like.
I *would sign this* for the fun of it! You are so right. Sit down and crank the porn! You know I can't work without 3-women-and-2-donkey-porn running. Have issues with basic stuff like forgetting del *.* and dir are not the same commands. Forget your password about 300 times a day and open a ticket each time to get it reset. Don't shower the whole time. Etc Etc ROFLMAO
Thread creep, but my dogs will do nothing of the kind with dog food. I really can't say what ONE of them would do with unlimited angus steak, but TWO or MORE of them will eat it as fast as they can to keep the other dog(s) from getting it. There is a metaphor in here somewhere, I think the overlord class sees money as a zero-sum game where they win if they get the most.
Just so you know, your Randian paradise airline system was tried long ago. It killed so many people the better airlines were BEGGING the government to step in before this whole newfangled flying machine thing just collapsed and died due to public mistrust.
$10,000,000 per SEAT? OMFG I am rolling on the floor. It is extraordinarily difficult to get 10% of that and most of my quotes are for $1,000,000 for the entire plane and that is instantly void the second I take off on a 135 flight absent the right certs. I happen to be certified myself to pilot 135 flights and it was not an easy thing to do. Look up "The day the music died" for the reason these rules were invented.
1 - track record is I am not dead that you know of.
2 - My financials are not available to you and what that has to do with my airplane I am not sure. It has 2 wings and most of the paint is still on. Are you one of those demanding passengers that wants me to clean it too?
3 - I have no valid insurance because no insurance company in the world will cover part 135 or 121 flights done without proper 135/121 inspections and rated pilots.
My new airline is really cheap. I skip things like a 100 hour inspections, 135 certs, opspecs, and all the other things that make running an airline a huge PITA. I have a plane, what more do you want?
Ah yes. Between Chairman Mao and Uncle Joe (Stalin) the world would have been all unicorn sex parties but the nasty Americans ruined it all along with those Israelis.
A magnesium grill !!!!! WTF!!!! Good thing they didn't give you some nitroglycerin for fuel and cyanide for meat sauce or it might have been dangerous.
The Polish pilots flying for Britain would hang around the egress routes back to Germany and attack the homebound aircraft that were low on fuel and ammo. To the great annoyance of the RAF, the Poles didn't care so much for stopping them on the way in as killing as many as they could on the way out. I think the P-51 pilots likewise didn't fight the 262s in the air so much as attack them while they were taking off and landing. (digression, some people have the certs and plans for the Me-262 and FW-190 and were making sporadic attempts to build more. No idea how far they got)
Can we PLEASE cancel the F-35 and develop airplanes we can actually use?
The F-35 reminds me of a sci-fi book where alien horde A has primitive ships, but a lot of them. They also are not too bright and throw more ships at every battle. Their enemies, alien horde B, keep coming up with new inventions and more amazing ships. Their ships get so expensive even losing a few bankrupts them and they surrender.
+100.
I knew a girl - yes a girl, she was 1 16 year old intern - who quit a job at XXX agency because the polygraph operator was excessively interested in her masturbation habits. They couldn't have cared less about the male interns (rolls eyes)
I just went from 5 to 60. it is very nice, now we can have two HD video streams, my work going on over VPN, my VOIP phone, and maybe a browser or two going in the house without issue. On 5 that was too much. I could get 100 but so far 60 handles everything. What is not mentioned is 1 GB fiber to every house does nothing if the other end of the connection sucks.
I was there near the launch site that morning. I was freezing my balls off! My Florida adapted body was not ready for below freezing temps and it didn't get much warmer after the sun was up.

my least favorite word is "curated". Museums curate, the rest of you are pretentious wankers.

EVERYONE knows H1-B is a program to screw American workers. Apparently no one cares.

I am a commercial pilot AND have a car. I think I know the difference.

Thanks - been a long time since I read that.

DO NOT try this if you are a white male! Also do not try this if the manager is NOT a white male.
"Bird radars" are a big deal for fisherman. They love being able to spot birds from a long way off. just sayin..
We can assume you would have been fine with your life savings turning into 404?
Damn you meme ruining poster. I was going to go for "I for one ...."
