Alright, prison wallet I guess.

Graft could certainly be a factor, but I wouldn't rule out trucks or buses carrying severely over-weight loads contributing to the damage.

We only mowed our back yard once a year for the past few years, and the fireflys are back in huge numbers this year. Our HOA is one of the most laid-back so we only have to mow the front like once a month.

Honestly, I might like it more if it weren't the size of a monster truck. 30-50% smaller and it could have been a neat little runabout with huge cargo capacity and a quirky design. But it's basically a canyonero too large for most roads

Oh yeah, totally! When I die, if the mythbusters need my corpse to test a myth, they're welcome to it! If I could, I'd choose the "cleaning the decaying corpse smell out of a car" myth; remembered forever as an unforgettable stench. Or one of the giant explosions, so I could rest in pieces.

Engineer: wow, these new led lights will use a tenth of the electricity our old lights used!

Boss: So you're saying we can use ten times as many lights then?

Don't even need a real hit, even just a graze exposes them to the cold vacuum of space.

If that were the case, they'd be increasing the retirement age for everyone, not just people under 55.

If they're short on funds for the people about to retire, it means those people haven't contributed enough to fund their own retirement.

Also, fire trucks don't have a key to start. You set one knob to on and twist the starter knob.

Def loner than the mooch

Do you mean terrazzo?

Don't forget the 3rd camp of military industrial complexists, just in it to make money bombing whoever wherever

Back the blue

Direct action on military equipment isn't terrorism by any stretch of the imagination

Would it be better if they were considered enemy combatants?

It could certainly be an optical illusion.

It could be a tactic to confuse anti missile batteries, by firing half a second after apogee. Gravity is fixed/known, but a secondary booster could be fired at different accelerations. Also it would leave less time to intercept

I think it looks more like the ignition of a 2nd stage motor, since it picks up speed, but I'm no rocket surgeon.

So did it's predecessor name: Alum

While the phone not turning on can indicate other issues, sometimes it's just the battery.

Thought it was dankpods, but it was his mechanic James:

Ah, yes, technically it's not a brand name like Kleenex, but it is a product name like aspirin.

The Maxim silencer, invented by Hiram Maxim.

Yeah, looks like I was mostly right. It was invented by Hiram Maxim, and called the Maxim silencer.
