    Casual Discussion Novel collection

    Great book. The movie (if you like the book) is highly recommended as well. I would prioritise these as there are huge amount of cultural references everywhere to both. He does a good job.

    India Indian Automobile Industry: News & Updates

    Yeah well, roxor was a "look and see" strategy (on something small+rural etc) by mahindra...given chrysler's IP on industrial design etc for the "jeep" brand. It still got stuck with the problem anyway....and did well in customer reviews all things considered. Thar is thus a complete no go...

    Live Conflict Afghanistan - United States War(2001- 2021)

    You know, there is a whole lot I disagree with Chris Hedges....but I find he is spot on for lot of stuff too. Tells a lot of it just like it is....and no BS. This is what I meant (much earlier in thread) is one needs to know the actual ex-media types to know why the "media" (and related...

    Canadian Shipbuilding-Budgets Can Sink Warships

    We will see, I hope I am wrong for what its worth. The thing is the escalation of the cost and the delays that are driving it that are quite concerning.

    OT a bit, but these graphs give me real nostalgia hit of earlier days when I avidly read the progress of analytical geometry under Robins and Euler and its influence on certain young lad studying in ecole militaire to be artillery officer. Carry on :)

    Canadian Shipbuilding-Budgets Can Sink Warships

    It boils down to Irving's connections within Canadian political elite (in this case). Bargaining power is all skewed/screwed from the get go. Tenders and competitions are just mostly fancy dress up opportunity....all shakes out the same way in end. I'll stop there....it just angers me....there...

    Canadian Shipbuilding-Budgets Can Sink Warships

    I warned so many about this....way back. Few listened to me. Oh well. I got so sick of the rigmarole that I just now wish the ships were built in UK and we do fitting out here maybe instead of the whole political gamesmanship with irving and LM. Would at least save us the money and get things on...

More conventional wing design has higher L/D ratio compared to delta wing....so the former inevitably almost always have better range and endurance for similar wing area (this affects your...
