    Atlantic Wall Museum

    It is quite a good museum. Bunkers located on the coast were almost all observation stations, as per  your picture.  The guns were inland, sometimes only a few hundred meters, sometimes much further. Excellent example at Arromanche/Gold Beach. . . . The Longues Battery. The observation...

    AOR Replacement & the Joint Support Ship (Merged Threads)

    While admitting to not being that much of a ship guy, the Berlin class looks pleasing to this landlubber's eye http://www.wrightys-warships.com/type-702-berlin-class.html The shot showing the stern and starboard side is particularly nice.  I can only assume the ships's capacities and...

    Global Warming/Climate Change Super Thread

    consensus is not part of science, it is part of politics.  The only thing that matters in science is data, real data, real numbers. And the real numbers tell us the planet's atmosphere is not behaving as the scientific consensus says it would behave.  I'd guess that 97% of scientists  who...

    Global Warming/Climate Change Super Thread

They can readily see how the dire predictions that were appearing almost daily in the media – in the days when all the media was on-side – simply have not materialised. Progressively, we have seen colder and colder...

    Putting Tesla into perspective, the company has had some "success" but is also a risky business and  stock play . . . I know one day trader buddy who got caught is the short squeeze.  Good news that they paid back the funds to the Treasury, but the money was not generated by sales success (Q1...

    Global Warming/Climate Change Super Thread

    "Unfortunately" . . .  I would say it is rather smart of you to decide how to spend your money.  Much better than a government flunkie or a greenie zealot being allowed to decide for you. It begs the question, why should we give taxpayer dollars to Tesla buyers? Where should we get the public...

    F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)

    I think the government knows the F-35 is the right plane for the RCAF, knows it screwed the pooch on the first acquisition announcement, knows they dropped their guard and took some  good hits from the Opposition, those afflicted with Harper Derangement Syndrome and the Parliamentary Press...

    BC Election 2013

    Christy made big gains with women, a group she was not doing well with,  after the media debacle over the red light incident. All the media ginned up the story with hysterical stories about what happened  . . . She do go through a red light, but at 5:00am, after coming to a full stop and...

    F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)

    Or it could be considered as politics by other means to achieve the goal you  have already selected.  It is what a government does after they get caught with their pants down and are ambushed by the anti military/Rideau Institute crowd and a media who hates the current government, or at least...
