Also, a quick note: Your HMMWV is dead. Under the seat, there are 2 batteries wired together. Are you going to trust Cole with a pair of jumper cables to not short everything out and kill someone?

i know my limits and i would give the jumper cables to someone else. i'm one of the responsible dumb people.

e: and then i would get told by someone who outranks me to do it anyway and kill everyone regardless.

Having microwaves installed in lieu of the ovens on the AWACS was estimated to cost several million dollars. Just to clarify: several million dollars to install at most sixty microwaves (two per jet). A lot of the cost was predicated on flight testing the microwaves to ensure that none of them hosed up the jet in some sort of odd, mystical, and fantasy way.

it's easier to get them to do this if you tell them that the antennae are directional and need to be pointed towards the unit you want to reach

The vendor buys whatever off of Amazon and marks it up before they sell it to the DoD.

Usually the explanation is certification for high Gs/harsh environments/whatever.

Most of the "lol $6000 hammer!" poo poo you see is just the automated computer systems managing the blanket purchase agreements spazzing out and nobody's actually buying that poo poo unless everyone for 6 levels up in the chain is loving retarded.

Yeah, "shredder" doesn't really do that thing justice. I always wanted to toss an entire FLIP bag into it to see which one would win.

Once they show it breaking loving rocks, tampons seem a bit unnecessary. I like how towards the end they're clearly tossing in random stuff they found around the office.
