The Chinese police stations/social clubs are here to 'encourage' expats to not speak badly about the CCP. They use a mix of nationalist propaganda and threats against family members here and at home in China. How much intelligence do you think you will get from them when they are scared granny...

Wiki lists five benevolent dictators in the worlds history and those are questioned in the same article. I believe all dictators start out with a dream of making their country great in one way or another. All dictators end up resorting to drastic draconian means to achieve that end when things...

How tall is the type 26 now? I can only find the draught (8M). I do understand it would be difficult to incorporate into a ship that size. The idea being that you would only need a few cells to actually launch from so your weight at height could be limited. I did not read the entire article, I...

If this proposed ID was worth its weight then the feds would not have to bribe the provinces to sign on. How often are medical records needed in another province? It happens when traveling but I'm sure its not often enough to necessitate a federal registry. Most people that move provinces get...

The MK41 VLS is really cool but is limited by its difficulty in reloading. Someone should design a reloading system from underneath. If a ship had 12 cells that could be reloaded underway and an internal store of spare missiles of the types fired by the MK41 would that not be more valuable then...

He is certainly working hard to make it China!

Wow, great work @NavyShooter. Hopefully someday I'll be able to see it in person. Two of my boys pooled their money and bought a 3D printer, it's definitely a learning curve. We haven't even gotten into the modeling yet we are just printing free files from thingiverse to learn the printer. Your...

To quote the Bank of Canada "QE is not the same as printing cash. Under QE, we buy bonds in the open market from financial institutions. And the funds that we use to pay for these purchases end up being deposited in accounts that financial institutions have at the Bank in the form of settlement...

I have a real hard time believing that the decision to print that much money came from bankers. Bankers would know what happens to an economy when money is printed en masses. Trust fund babies on the other hand, not so mych

Don't worry your little heart, Trudeau will just print more money like he did for covid. After all he dosent think about monetary policy. Therefore it dosent exist. You know like Elmer Fudd didn't study gravity.

Volvo bought Renault in 2000 but Mack trucks continued to use the Mack/Renault E7 series engine until 2007 when Volvo released the D11, D13 and D16 engines. Volvo then put them in Mack trucks as the MP7, MP8, and MP10. I can only assume they did similar with Renault trucks. I am unaware if...

Technically Volvo purchased Renault and Renault owned Mack so they are all Volvo companies. Since 2008 Volvo put their engine in Mack trucks and called it the MP engine. The Renault engine in the MSVS SMP is a Volvo D11 with Renault badges. Parts are the same and interchangeable between them...

Maybe Davie will approach the US navy about it when the RCN is done with Asterix. They could operate contract services with a full civilian crew something like the Omega air tankers.

When designed with it armour becomes the chassis and body structure as well. When adding armour after the fact you already have a chassis and a body that you need to keep so that equals less protection for the weight or more weight for the same protection. Normal vehicle bodys also don't have...

I think most were also the non-turbo version and underpowered. 7.3L was international/ford. GM would never use it. They would be more likely to use the 3126/C7 cat as they put that in their 6500/7500 trucks.

As good as the hummer is i question it's reliability. I drove truck long haul from 2000 - 2003 and every singal US military convoy I came across had at least one, but often more hummers on the side of the road with the hood up. I would see convoys at least a couple times a month.

Independent suspension whether front or rear has so much better articulation that a solid axle should only be considered if you are never going off road. Durability of Independent suspension is a direct factor of design. Automobiles are designed for the expected use they will receive. 99% never...

Its been working fine in Yarmouth for years. The latest one is actually owned by the US Navy. https://www.ferries.ca/thecat/info/

Kinda like the NSPS. Maybe Davie is on to something with their National Icebreaker Centre.

Three, Saudi Arabia bought LAV's also.
