From what everyone was able to cobble together with rumors and hearsay is that they had a core idea ready, but waited till after Veilguard to commit more resources to the project. I guess we can assume it got a bit further along before it was canned.

Indoctrination is a hell of a thing.

Our department of transportation gives updates over AM radio and it’s easier to do while driving vs going into the 511 app to see what’s up. And since it’s statewide it’s pretty useful. That’s the only thing I use AM for. They’ve got signs in major corridors that flash to tell you there’s a new message. Old school, but reliable.

I mean, you can do the same thing with a steam deck if you have it. I got one of those anker docks with an RJ45 and ran CAT6 from where my fios ONT hits my network switch and where my big gaming pc is. The wireless streaming sucks big time and is completely unreliable.

Thanks! It’ll be a late Father’s Day present but I’m sure he’ll enjoy playing games on it again.

Speaking of PSP’s, do you have any recommendation on batteries for the 2000 series? Mine surprisingly still works, but my dad’s exploded years ago.

Right. I guess I should have clarified that it works be enough for each service member to be issued at least one firearm at the same time. From what I’ve gathered everything is shared, and those deployed overseas supplied their own magazines in some cases.

Americans buy a shit ton of guns every year. In just one day 200,000 background checks were submitted. If that’s at least one firearm per check (which I think you can put 4-8 per check) which is enough to arm the marine core.

I think it’s in the pipeline, and we can only hope. And if ford doesn’t do it, hopefully the Slate Truck gains traction.

This is where manufacturers should have started years ago.

It’s annoying as ford has repeatedly stated they won’t being the plug in hybrid ranger that gets 30 miles on a charge to the US because it will cannibalize sales from the maverick and f150 lightning….

I agree. Finding a car that is front wheel drive and not 1000 hp is ridiculous.

That’s the thing, most of these trucks were ~$50,000. But people see the ~220 mile range on the base truck and overdid it on range anxiety and blew the problem way out of proportion.
