You know, I always thought the Concorde was made by France, but now I see it was co-developed by England too!

Oh great, now I have to Goggle those songs too.

I click on 100% of the free games you guys link.

That one was better! I wonder if he originated hammer pants?

My bad! The first Google return was the Rasputin video with some dude dancing around and everyone making noises. Theres 4:29 Ill never get back.

Fwiw, I wasnt busting your chops, I took your statement at face value. I wonder if kinetic platforms (planes, missiles, etc.) will be obviated in the foreseeable future (for first world militaries)? Imo, within years, lasers will reach the required power output level to burn anything out of the sky. Then we can simply create platforms that are nothing but generators and laser turrets. But we still need to make things go boom (which lasers wont do), so the next evolution of kinetic weapons needs to have some ability to withstand lasers. Mirror finish (hypersonic disco ball ftw!), plasma shield, something we dont know about yet?

Never heard of / seen Boney M before just now Googling him. And Im from that era!

No wonder ours doesnt work. D'oh!

Eh, everyone has their own emotional reactions to <input>, and for some it becomes too much for them to bear. In those cases they can go on and ignore everyone but themselves, who cares? But ANNOUNCING an ignoring is just a piteous last shot before slamming the door on the way out. Imo.

James Webb Space Telescope successfully deploys antenna.

Now that theyre in the lead we can steal all their advancements! Unrelated, but I sometimes wonder in the recent "loss of our hacking tools" isnt actually another honeypot like the "secure" phones that were provided by the FBI?

Weird that people always ANNOUNCE an ignoring, but I guess we would never feel their qq otherwise? Anywho, Ill do you a solid and quote you so that he can see your response.

Same, set a record here in IL. EDIT: I read that backwards. This is the longest in IL without snow on the ground.

Iirc, the F-15 was tailor made to fight the MiG-25, then we got our hands on one and realized the F-15 clearly outmatched it.

The skies opened up over my house last night. I could hear the rain pounding the bedroom windows and roof. Would have been a blizzard had it been cold enough.

It took three sittings by we made it through Matrix 4. Overly long fight sequences and I dont have any idea what happened at the end. NPH is great as usual.

Semi-automatic.

The freshwater to your home is pumped directly from a nearby lake? Thats awesome! You dont need to treat it or anything? Do you have a reservoir somewhere in your house?

I started Matrix: Resurrection and meh-ed out after an hour or so.

Im wondering whos land they parked them on?

I have an appointment for the booster on 4 Jan, but yeah, Im not down for a shot every few months either. This will probably be my last shot unless things really go sideways.

I was just about to post the link: Webb Telescope away with two major hurdles cleared after flawless launch.

Happy holidays to all!
