I think Kelsey is the only hottie in the WNBA. The rest are freaks. 😁

He has never taken himself seriously. The new batch is militantly ridiculous.

I never noticed. Was having too much fun burning off sets of rear tires. 😁

Many battleship crew members believe it, but that doesn't mean its true. It doesn't happen. Think about this... Not only does the ship displace 60,000 tons, there's about 37' of battleship under the water. The Iowas are about 880' in length. For it to move 30', it would have to push 924,000...

That's a good looking blower.

When the hood on my '78 Chevy did the El Bendo, I cut a couple pieces of a 18 gauge 3⅝" stud and screwed them to the underside with self tapping screws. 😁

The annual Dallas Pen Show was a few weeks ago, I happened to see an online article about it. There were pens on display that cost thousands of dollars, 18 carat solid gold, platinum, diamond inlaid, etc. It turns out annual pen conventions are a thing. Looking around I found shows in Atlanta...

MmmmmK.

The ship's 60,000 ton displacement at combat loading equals 120,000,000 lbs. The nine 16" armor piercing shells fired at once weigh 24,300 lbs. The math showing the effect of the salvo on the ship is contained in the link I posted. While it may be hard to understand, it's accurate. In addition...

"I was making a gentle turn at half throttle when the boat came out of the water. Next thing I knew, we were pointing a different direction. The engine didn't overrev."

You're looking for the moon landing thread. 😁

Try clicking on the link I posted. You're seeing the results of rapidly expanding gases that just fired shells at 2,500 feet per second inducing movement of the air around the ship, which disturbs the water. I can promise those ships didn't move.

They didn't move when the guns were fired, and firing all nine 16" guns on one side won't cause the ship to roll over. They displaced over 60,000 tons when combat loaded, the shells weighed about 2,700 lbs each. http://www.navweaps.com/index_tech/tech-022.php

No, GPS wasn't deployed until after the Iowa class battleships were decommissioned. They relied on a mechanical analog fire control computer that used cams and gears to arrive at a firing solution. It was made by the Ford Instrument Company (not the automobile manufacturer). The fire control...

Last time I was in a Waffle House was a few months ago in McKinney around 2 PM. Apparently that's early enough in the day for fat black chicks to drop gloves. They be mad. 😁

There was a period between, let's say, 1975-1988, one could buy a pretty nice 18' jet for $5K, have a blast with it for two or three years, and sell it for that same $5K. It was a great way to convert money into gas into noise and have fun. 😁

That's helpful commentary. I'm under the impression the OP isn't keen on dropping the money to tear out the existing plenums. It's not clear to me how crappy the joint between the two is. If the gaps are reasonably small and if he has access to all four sides, it's possible to make an effective...

Our country is being endangered by the actions of our doddering fool president. The Biden-Harris administration has taken millions of acres of public lands and made them national monuments. It's a backdoor scheme to prohibit development of petroleum resources and mining. Solar and wind isn't...

Yard maintenance running on Jet A sounds like a solid concept! Think about a direct drive string trimmer turning 200,000 RPM. 😁 A typical jet turbine used for RC is capable of spinning over 100,000RPM in order to produce the thrust force they generate. RPM ranges between about 117,000RPM for a...

Unreal. No doubt those pigs are going through life sucking on the government teat and haven't done a hard day's work in years. They have children, and that's a tragedy for those boys. There's a good chance they'll turn out like their parents. Someone should put CPS on those pieces of shit. The...
