So...

You are okay with them hitting US ships protecting a shipping choke point?
Do you carry a gun before or after you get attacked? Do you lock the door before or after robbed? Do you store your money in a bank or keep cash laying around?

Im all for proaction! Keep them crazy people over there, and keeping them from having big booms protects you and yours!

Most here dont give two shits about any of those 3rd world countries. We all love a civil life. I dont wanna kill any Iranian people but they wanna kill us. Keep that shit on their soil.

Most know to keep your eyes on the trouble maker kids, and address their behavior before they turn everything into a shit show.....same same!

Kinda like California.....keep that crazy shit in your own state.
I think what @kthomas is suggesting, is that we get the only real reason we/re there, to protect the oil supply, and that the wise move would be to put ourselves in a postition that we dont need the Strait of Hormuz. We have plenty of oil we just need to restructure the refining. We have plenty of natural gas, and had Carter not fucked the pooch Mexico has 10X as much we could buy. Then work on improving solar until its viable.

We dont need to be world cops. Lets get it together here and let them settle their own differences. I have 0 love for Israel, or Iran, l and dont want to see one American life or dollar wasted over there.

If they come here or start shit here, different story.

Boeing down in India

There is, but I dont know how the 787 electrical system works... I know its a full electric airplane with no bleed air so the electrical system is pretty stout I would think.

When I flew the 747 there was no checklist for loss of all A/C power i.e. losing all 4 generators at the same time. Boeing says its basically impossible. I heard of one where the E&E bay got soaked with water somehow and they lost all 4 generators due to a short from the water. The other couple are 4 engine flame outs due to volcanic ash. Another was supposedly mechanics blocked the generator cooling inlets while they were washing the engines and forgot to uncover them and all 4 generators over heated... 787 has liquid cooled generators I believe.

But to lose all 4 generators at the same time is a statistical improbability... I wont say impossible because, well...ill be proven wrong. The electrical system on the 787 SHOULD be designed so it doesnt have a single fault failure mode.

In 19 years in the airlines I have never lost a generator. I had a CSD drive light come on at idle power before on the 737, but the generator itself was still functioning. Low oil pressure in the CSD.
It could be possible there was 1 VSFG already on MEL, the other engine craps out (loosing both VSFGs) and then the other one on the first engine dies, having then lost all 4. However the VSFGs don't fail that often.

Now if it was CACs we were talking about, well that's a different story. But that's pressurization/aircon.

The 787 has a very very complicated electrical system, where there is multiple areas of failure possible.
While the systems aren't super reliable (components do get replaced fairly regularly) there is more than enough redundancy in the system.

Would definitely tour it if I was near, it was a bit out of the way the last time I was remotely in the area.

Walked around the monuments and memorials in DC, skulked around the Hoover building, took in a few more sights, walked around Mount Vernon, ... all worth it.
Thats my one regret in leaving Virginia, I never got to Mt. Vernon. IMHO, GW was one of the outstanding figures not just in American history, but in world history. No Washington, no America, he was that critical. For a good read on him, if anyone's interested is His Excellency George Washington. Short easy informative read.

If it’s not too much trouble, I’d like to see what choices or alternatives there are (yours included). It’s not like I will need the “barricade stop” on this test fixture.
Any of the well dimensioned M5s should fit and the point has been made than many are buying the MDT because of the adjustable release. Mine two M5s aren't finished just yet, as I'm developing them along with the new magazines. The more popular ones now seem to be the Hawkins and MDT. I have an MDT on my work bench and a Hawkins will arrive tomorrow, as I generally benchmark as part of my development projects.

My M5x is the M5 profile with the Pre-Load Piston, so because of the bumpus that houses the piston protrudes from the profile, stocks will need a slight adjustment with a hand-mill to allow the bumpus to fit. Also, because the piston has to travel vertically, a clearance needs to be cut on the bottom of the receiver (in front of the trigger pocket) to allow the piston to travel upward when the magazine is interted.

i don't know why tulsi would not have access to whatever the idf is showing to trump to convince him.

It could be they are both correct to a degree. They may not have a functioning nuke bomb on hand just yet, but they keep on enriching uranium way beyond the purity than what's needed for simple electricity generation.

No, it was designed by Jefferson. I believe its called Neo Classic Greek Revival architecture. His entire design was named 'The #1 example of original American architecture' by the ASA, the American Architect's Society, or some such. Quite a work of art, it was interesting to go to school there. Heres a better shot of the whole thing.
