You must have an older vehicle because a lot of those things are standard on a lot of vehicles today. I have read Ford has some of the best cooled seats in the auto industry. I have a Toyota 4Runner with the Softex seating (an artificial leather-like material but more robust than real leather)...

He'll activate this feature if he's had an aftermarket installation: Also where will he get the fuel?

I never noticed that about the fuel symbol either until just now.

Toyota already has a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in the Mirai. I've read a problem though is when refueling, the fuel pump is COLD because the hydrogen is liquid of course. What are you referring to when you say water vehicles kill 100% of their inventors?

Mr. Chuck, the problem with your logic here is you can take that to an extreme where people never get out of bed in the future as it is too dangerous, as we will have robots to take care of us. And no more cooking your own food, or eating it, as special nutrient/calorie pills can be issued to...

Yeah, the Chargers just don't have the impression of authority the way the Crown Vic did. Up here in Western NY, it's Ford Explorers and Chargers as the main police vehicles. So anytime you see an Explorer, you wonder if it's a cop. One thing I do wonder is in cities where they have police cars...

Do you ever notice people driving more "appropriately" around your car, because they think you might be like an unmarked police car?

I understand that, but there is a difference between being an actual bad person versus being say a jerk. Cocky a-holes who aren't unethical but just are jerks I can see becoming Special Ops, but I just had the impression most were otherwise moral/ethical people.

You should have just taken it home and told them a criminal stole it. I am sure they would have understood:)

Curious, is your Ford Interceptor a vehicle from your time as a policeman that they let you keep or did you acquire it from elsewhere?

I am guessing that is for Naval Special Warfare, in which case, nope. Sad to learn if the SEALs have a problem with unethical members.

So was this guy really guilty or was he railroaded? I know the book he wrote to defend himself explains he is innocent and the "Alpha" book explains he's guilty. The innocent story says the SEALs who turned him in were low-ranking "woke" millennials who were jealous and just didn't like him...

Coffee table books are still a thing. Some books are just much better experienced physically.

There are also services where you pay a certain amount monthly and then have access to thousands of books digitally.

No, but it surprises me less if a lawyer politician gets caught doing something bad then if a SEAL does (or at least it did). So I mean I am (or was) more expecting of good behavior from the SEAL.

What if you view not compromising as how you get what's best for your constituents?

Well I don't mean anyone should get an actual pass on ethics, just that I would expect the SEAL to be a better person. Like if a politician is a lawyer and gets caught doing something crooked, I will probably think, "Well that's typical," whereas if a SEAL is caught doing it, then I find it more...

Well I would presume a SEAL, on average, would be a person of higher ethics than the average person. Guess I am mistaken on this.

Yes, I hold people like SEALs though to a higher ethical standard compared to your average politician.

Kindle is awesome, and you can get some great deals on it, books that cost $20-$30 physical sold for $1.99-$2.99 in Kindle deals, books that cost $150+ physical but which are $50-$60 Kindle, but physical books are still very important in my opinion.

Hmm...so...on paper, this guy seems stellar: Naval Academy graduate, Navy SEAL, Bronze Star and Purple Heart winner, founder of an aerial firefighting business and now worth anywhere from $70-$200 million, and all by the age of 38. However, his story about the .45 is screwy. But also, my...

Did they actively point it at the person and pull the trigger to "demonstrate" the safety, or did it happen because they weren't watching where they had it pointed?

! I do not for the life of me understand these a-holes who tailgate. I mean what the hell do they think is going to happen if the person in front has to slam the brakes? They're going to smash right into them. Yet people do it at 70+! I do not generally hold traffic or vehicles up though...

Not the one I attended while young. Nor the Catholic school I attended.

Not the one I attended for some time. The school had the first grade class, the second grade class, the third grade class, etc...no bell system or classroom rotation. A good book about it is "The Underground History of American Education: An Intimate Investigation Into the Prison of Modern...

There is an argument that that has been the government and corporate interests' goal since the late 1800s. That was why the public education system became based off of the Prussian system, which was excellent at producing soldiers and employees, and why the public school system had the bell...

One nitpick, but the Constitution doesn't grant anything as far as natural rights go, it protects what are pre-existing rights. The Founders themselves saw the Bill of Rights as redundant even, because the Constitution doesn't grant the Federal government the power to infringe upon such rights...

What was the Captain shooting at if he is qualifying? Looks like there'd just be water.

Very nice. Note the shark mouth on the tug vehicle as well:) What is that big Air Force plane right under the F-14? Looks like a Douglas of some type?

He was on Jay Leno back in 2012, worth a watch.

I've read some airlines are pushing to move to single pilots in the cabin, particularly in Europe ironically. I don't know anything about piloting airliners, but that seems rather frightening, I mean what if the pilot had a heart attack or something? Are my concerns justified or would that be an...

Just arrived in the mail today:):):)

I don't get the picture.

To make sure I am understanding right, you're saying the containers are 8 feet+ thick?

If you haven't seen the film, be sure to at least watch the chariot race from it.

:)

National Review gives it a very bad review: LINK

Why did the CO insist on the students having to fly in such conditions?

Me too. I mean if there is ANY country you don't want to be caught in for such an act, it's Russia. You get to first experience the nice treatment of the Russian authorities then get to go live in the Russian prisons:confused:

Also the Ukrainians aren't out to just murder innocent Russians. Striking a Russian civilian target with no military value makes no sense and if anything would rally the Russian people to continue fighting Ukraine.

The U.S. had apparently warned the Russians that a major Moscow attack was coming weeks ago. The U.S. embassy in Moscow warned Americans there to get out. So the Russians had advance warning.

So genuinely curious about this, but would that be smart though? A problem I could see is the people who do the fighting having no idea how the bureaucracy and planning (like high-level war planning) process works while the people in the bureaucracy have no idea what it is like for the people...

Maybe they have more powerful engines?

Just read up about her, wow. Also watched GroundPounder's video, I mean Holy Crap! Not being a pilot, I wouldn't have known a lot of the bad stuff she was doing without the narration, but I mean even I know if you don't know how to turn on/off your nav system, or any system, in your plane while...

Why would someone be so careless? Do people do that frequently with planes?

A lot of it seemed kind of pointless as far as much of the Russian shelling went, other than that they didn't know what else to do. They were pounding away at Ukrainian cities, turning them into rubble, which historically does not break the will of the people, instead if anything it strengthens...

I just thought regarding the Sherman that it was kind of funny in hindsight, so threw it in there.

This just came out today, apparently Ukraine now has two Blackhawks, having acquired a second one. There is also a crowdfunding campaign ongoing in the Czech Republic to buy Ukraine a third one. Russia claimed it shot down a Ukrainian Blackhawk with twenty troops aboard, but Ukraine says that's...

I'll bet the Germans were quite appreciative of those big stars:
