Wonder if this will go like it did for the Taliban and a bunch of them will get all depressed by the mundaneness of having to punch a clock in the government bureaucracy they just inherited.

It’s like a dog that finally catches the car and has no idea what it’s actually in for. Toppling governments is easy. Running them is hard.

I’ve made angry threats to cars while working on them but this is taking it to another level.

Each missile should have “Happy Holidays” painted on the side.

Ok, but where is the Judean People’s Front in all of this?

For fucks sake! It’s a three day special military operation! There’s still time! …As calculated by the length of a day on Venus.

“Oh shit! They’re shooting at us!”

“It’s cool. There’s only two of them so it’s going to take them at least thirty seconds to reload.”

Anti-tailgating artillery but it’s installed backwards.

But was it a “stealthy” fire truck??

You’ll shoot your arm off.

Too many people tried using them as hammers.

GE, the conglomerate, no longer exists. They sold off most of the divisions and spun off the three remaining into their own business. GE Aerospace is the “corporate successor” but as of 2024, the old General Electric is no more.

Ok, now this is just showing off. Patch cables all the exact required length and everything all nice and neat. I bet you check your backups regularly and do a monthly DR fail over test too.

…Kidding aside, your setup looks really good.

Definitely easier if you can plan it in advance.

What do you do if you have a horse that dies or has to be put down? You call your neighbor down the road who has an excavator and ask him to dig you a horse sized hole. Then you bury it. If you don’t, you won’t want to leave your house for at least a week.

Horsepower is a very rough “average” of work output over a given period of time. It doesn’t really account for spikes in load. For that we’ll have have to consider the torque. So the real question is, how many foot/pounds or newton/meters does OP need to handle 10 gigs of throughput?

1. Sign tax cuts into law.

2. Pat yourself on the back as God’s gift to the middle class.

3. Conveniently fail to tell non-rich people that their tax cuts are going to expire until it’s time to…

4. Blame Democrats for their impending expiration.

5. Profit.

Seize all the Halloween candy in the entire neighborhood with the rationale that some of them may contain weapons of mass destruction.

Corporate execs these days are not exactly known for their long term thinking. Doesn’t matter if the doors are flying off your airplanes tomorrow as long as the stock price goes up today.
