People there are fucked. Much of Savannah is pretty poor, and the likelihood that even the wealthy keep flood insurance is going to be slim.

In looking at this video and comparing to what we see on the ground next to the bombers, these do in fact appear to be the glide bomb kits.

Pretty much. It's a good idea, at least to me, because you are taking two very stable things, plastic explosives and a hydrogen fuel cell, and combining them to make one hell of a bomb. Basically, it's pretty safe to make for all involved, it's the shits for anyone on the receiving end.

Perhaps those are their JDAM equivalents? Assuming they aren't bombs, which I don't think they are, that might make some sense. They attach those pre-flight, tow them to ordinance, and then take off? It still seems beyond stupid they just park their strategic bombers out in the open for commercial satellites to take GPS photos of them, but hey, keep it up Russia.

Well at least it wasn't an assistant or secretary like other Kennedy's.

The day Rupert Murdoch departs this Earth will be one worthy of a global celebration.

The ultimate reality is that either you are in the economic sphere of a major metropolitan area or you aren't. As it stands, anyone with any level of education and want for opportunity is going to gravitate towards that sphere for the sake of opportunity. These places are going to die (economically) along with their aging populations. Most of your ghost towns in the country were no bigger than a few thousand people at their peak, but now we may see some that at one point were 100k or more. I don't think there is any sort of policy change that is going make any sort of difference with any of this. If you look at the agriculture industry, and the automated farming stuff that already exists, plus what is coming, how many people are really going to be needed in these areas anymore? It's odd to think that for much of American history the dream was to have your own land (typically a farm) and the freedom associated with that. In modern times, it's become to have your own cookie cutter half acre home just outside a major city. Things change.

That's probably true, the dangers of working with one company, in particular if it is private, is that you are potentially subject to the whims of one man. Blue Origin is well behind on this, and even then, again, subject to the potential whims of another asshole.

Well this is new (I think, haven't seen anything like this before)

that's fucking insane.

Mystikal is planning a re-release of shake ya ass

Well don't let the South Korean archers anywhere near that.

Interesting, I didn't know that. I'm not sure how one could make a competition out of that, but I'd watch at least once. It might be more interesting if they did a Joe Kittinger competition for a medal, that'd be cool.

Tug of war would actually be making a return to Olympic competition.

What a ridiculous thing to say, to belittle the sanctity of golf, how dare you Sir! The Saudi's pick.

It's pretty awful when they have the choice of sending a space x rescue, which will cost a fortune or using the Soyuz backup, and those are really the serious options. It's becoming increasing clear that the starliner should have never been human rated by NASA, given the serious amount of problems with it. Boeing has certainly failed here, but don't give NASA a pass on culpability either. I'm sure there was undue pressure from lobbying and whatnot, but this is a failure on so many levels. Boeing, once a great American company, is really at a crossroads in it's entirely. It's gone from being one of, if not the most reputable company in the world to being a maker of junk in no small part due the clowns from Wall Street taking it over. I don't think the company as it exists can continue, and will require being broken up (something that by the way should have been done thru anti trust, but I digress). Ultimately, this is what happens when the financial dickheads from Wall Street corner one portion of a market. If I were an Astronaut stuck up there, no way in hell I'm trusting that thing.

Why do you think the River kept testing so poorly?

I thought there was already a date an inmate thread somewhere.

Maybe you can, and I know you jest, but there is a good percentage of people that couldn't do that. It's amazing.

It's just hard to believe 4 humans just ran a mile in 3 minutes.

You don't get that Lada for nothing.

Wrong Thread

It's easy to poke fun of a place that is going thru a bad time, but the truth is this is a big problem, and it appears it's only going to get worse for places like WF. As we continue to urbanize, places like this just going to keep getting left behind. Rural America is largely devoid of professional services, and now mid size America is getting left in the dust.

A goddamn cook.

I've driven by some Jo Gotta Go signs lately and found myself chuckling. You fucking wanted it, now you fucking got it, good work dipshits.
