Mudd's gone. Forty years later, this clip still thrills.

The Air Force needs help to reverse-engineer parts for an older stealth bomber.

A few days ago, someone in here said "burn it all down," and I pooh-poohed the sentiment.

Apologies, Dood.

Restricted tools include air compressors, impact wrenches, and even tools as simple as torque wrenches. The law further defines these items as “tools not normally found in a residence.” ~ from a link by Crid at March 10, 2021 7:05 AM

Not normally found in a residence? Huh? That would outlaw half the people I knew growing up. Everybody had a torque wrench and quite a few had an air compressor, with attendant tools such as an impact wrench.

Perhaps these are not found in white collar residences, but in blue collar residences these kinds of things are quite common, and often necessary.

An online explainer on the code says that the law is supposed to decrease the release of pollutants as well as maintain property values as some deem the sight of auto repairs in residential areas an eyesore. ~ from a link by Crid at March 10, 2021 7:05 AM

It used to be if you popped the hood of your car in the driveway or garage, half the neighborhood came over to chat or to help.

" help to reverse-engineer parts for an older stealth bomber."

Not just airplanes. From 2009.

Spidey, that is fucking glorious.

This is really cute but it's also really bad. Desert tortoises have evolved in an arid, food scarce environment.

Their bodies just can't handle high calorie/high nutrient food, the soft tissues grow much faster than their shell and they develop permanent deformities.

First, they cam for Pepe LePew. Now, they're coming for SpongeBob. No, seriously.

But… but… but… She's Beautiful…!

"The Air Force needs help to reverse-engineer parts for an older stealth bomber."

That's a great story! And think of the black ops budgets they'll be able to conceal under these six-figure buckets of prop wash and sky hooks.

It worked for the toilet seats and hammers, anyway. Always go with the classics.

But seriously now, isn't it about time we got to see the UFO tech?
