I wax and wane on this guy. Sometimes he hits it, sometimes he doesn't.

But I'll tell ya -- hearing an entire clip where a woman is called a woman, over and over....

He got to me. I loved it. Because he told the truth.

Comedy and truth. The best when they are wedded.

That's been refuted now http://theaviationist.com/2016/03/01/heres-what-ive-learned-so-far-dogfighting-in-the-f-35-a-jsf-pilot-first-hand-account/

If you read the comments there, it's clear that it wasn't a performance test, but a fly by wire program trial and tune.

But of course that doesn't make head lines like sensationalism.

EDIT: Looks like Arse Technica also ran follow up story:
http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/07/f-35-project-team-says-dogfight-report-does-not-tell-whole-story/

Even still I would still expect a F-16 which weighs less than 1/2, and has a better thrust to weight ratio to be fully capable of waxing the F-35 in a guns only dog fight. That's just physics. I'd also expect an even lighter and zippier F-5e to do the same to the F-16. And people did have that critism back in the early 70s.

But as I've said above many times. Dog fights haven't existed since WW1.

By the way, this whole thing is old news.

So much waxing... so many edges to tune!

Also, am I the only one who thought this was going to be about a serial killer making a "human ski suit"?

Thank you for re-upgrading for another year!

You're new chartership is all waxed up, polished off, and waiting for you to take it for a spin!

Do so wish I had seen this years ago, @eric3579!

I think the only way to disagree with Oliver is that you think Barnaby acted like a professional politician in this case. He completely didn't.

This is pretty much a no-brainer to handle politically. PR rule #1 is don't say in a public interview, "We're gonna kill/euthanize/terminate/murder/wax/put down/exterminate/execute/massacre/slay his dogs."

I'm not a politician, and even I know that. Even when he got his way, go on twitter like a vindictive prick? Really, what is he, a 5 year old?!

plus the wraps can be bright shiny strange reflective colors that just cannot be done with traditional paint+wax.

I've seen gold wrap on a Mercedes and even green Ferraris with them - basically extra bling to stand out in a crowd.

I have been saying this for years.
I remember at my grad exhibition in Art School, I did this one painting, which took my about 150 hours to create, (http://www3.telus.net/Nickel/links/400/paintings/lynettandjoanne_400.jpg).
or: http://www3.telus.net/Nickel/links/400/paintings/lynetteandjoanne_detail_400.jpg

And this other classmate, made wax molds of toast, laid a few in the center of the floor in a room, and called it an "Installation.

Now, I was supposed to "OOOO" and "AHHH" over her work, but her and her friends, were rallying against my painting, calling it trash and no point. If had wanted to make something realistic, then I should have been a photographer..., I was wasting my time.

Moral of the story: My piece sold, hers didn't.

I bet those will board slide forever, no more curb waxing! Nice. I wonder how much they flex, my guess is they should be more flexible but less breakable than pure wood boards. Maybe lighter too.

Side note...only the board materials are 'free', the trucks and wheels still cost money. I found it odd that they pretended the entire thing is 'free' of material cost.

Definite upvote for making refuse into something people want.

O U T S T A N D I N G...S I R I U S L Y...the Aether has been kind to this unworthy one! ! ! ! ! ! !

It is always incredible to hear from you with a distantly close second that is your imagery. I love it...mesmerizing and seductive like a velvet blade. Some play in my mind recurrently.

Happy Drunken Irish Bastard Day to you too my friend. Please, to you my brother I offer my favorite toast:

May those that love us, love us.
For those that don’t love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if he doesn’t turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we’ll know them by their limping.

I miss you too rougy. You long ago won a place in my heart and mind. I wax Irish upon you,

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Peace and blessings upon you my friend. Thank you very much.

A much more humane way of stealing honey from bee slaves. Colony collapse = Revolts against human overlords.

Besides, I like the wax.

Foulbrood is not cleanable. If you get it in this hive, say goodbye to your $600, or become a bee killer. Some people think it can be disinfected with fire, but not on plastic (and I don't trust that on wood either, miss one tiny spot and lose another hive or more).
Yes, you are right, you still need to inspect the hive, meaning you have to separate it and look at individual frames. That might be harder with the special frames, you might not be able to ever remove them. I can't tell.
The brood is in the box below, and should have a queen excluder between the boxes so you never get brood in the honey frames.
No idea how well it works, but I can tell it will leave the hive messy, with raw honey covering the bottom of the hive and caps and wax split and filling the empty spaces. The bees will eventually clean it up, but it will take time.
EDIT:also, if your bees don't fill out the frames perfectly, they might not split (because two or more are connected). Then what?
You are right, just jumping into beekeeping is not good, and can hurt other people's bees (like if you get foulbrood and leave the infected hive for other bees to scavenge). I can only hope that when you buy one, they strongly suggest people join bee keeping clubs and/or buy certain good books to learn. Even if they do, there will be bad beekeepers, and poorly placed bees.

If you lived through the sixties most of these seem normal even if they are horribly dated. The hot Dr. Pepper, however, is fucking weird regardless of what decade you're from.

Also the glass wax I've never seen but we did have spray artificial snow to decorate windows and we'd make our own stencils.
