While waiting to get picked up for our Young Drivers course two friends and I dropped acid.

It was the 70’s.

Short lesson. 🀣

After dropping us off the instructor asked if he could get some.

Not sure if he is signaling to Nazis or he’s this stupid.

FWIW I have worked on planes that have panels that colour.

Eielson AFB needs gate guards too.

Probably a lot of vets share your feelings there.

I’m not up on US geography.

What state is Burkino Faso?

Very basic Q.

If the Spartans were what fanboys think they were, then why was Sparta wiped off the map and is best remembered in the writings of the effeminate Greeks?

"Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here, obedient to their laws, we lie"

Make it make sense.

If a Firebird and a Vega had a love child.

Hmm. Imagine importing to the US with tweaks and marketing it as a Vega Trans Euro.

Make mine black and gold.

I like it!

It draws attention to the text and makes it harder to read, but more likely to start a conversation.

2/X

3 5” twin mounts per side are replaced by CPS launchers.

Remaining 5” mounts (4) replaced by 5”/64.

Various minor weapons fitted to 40mm or 20mm positions.

Modernization of the power plant.

If you really wanted BBG’s four hulls exist now. They’re far harder to kill than Defiant.

Fini.

Want proof that the USN really has no intention of actually building Trump’s β€œDefiant” class?

Take one Iowa. Pull the main turrets.

Barbette 1 gets the railgun

Barbette 2 gets a reactor under an armored cap.

Barbette 3 gets 160 VLS cells.

1/X

A 6 that big was built just for massive torque.

I would rather not.

Evaporative cooling is a thing.

That’s a very memorable tune.

Years (decades) ago I learned to play it on the ukulele.

Excoriated.

He meant excoriated, not exonerated.

Mine would be simple. It would berate the intelligence of visitors and cordially invite them to commit an anatomically impossible act.

Creative!

They’ve given it camouflage to look like a derelict rust bucket.

Consider that Korea was a draw and both piston and jet fighters saw service.

Makes you think.
