So I've had a rough day, buuuut

[RatLabGuy]

at least I didn't lose a $2 billion blimp

Shouldn't have let go of the string. That's some elementary school bullshit right there. Mom's not going to buy you another one...

 

[rodney eppes]

Finally! A Good reason for that assault rifle. Could of blown some holes in it, before it did so much damage!

 

[OnlyOneDR]

The total program, not the blimp, is $2.7B, but I am sure the blimp is a sizable fraction of that, seeing that Raytheon has something to do with it.

Oh, but I bet Uncle Sam will, he's got access to plenty of money.

Unless you don't pay taxes, you did. I did too. If you have kids, they will have the pleasure of chipping in as well, seeing they are going to increase the debt ceiling to 'fund' the govt.

Wait until the damage bil comes back from all the utilities that had poles and lines ripped down...the blimp will be the cheap part

Exactly. The "damaged caused" will have several stars in a sling

(one of many, pick your favorite slanted news source)

To me the highlight is that JLENS apparently stands for " Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System"
Because JLACMDENSS was too hard to remember?

Pffffft.... That's how they're getting through all y'all stink foil hats! That's why I upgraded to copper!

 

[Fabrik8]

Nah, high permeability nickel iron alloys are where it's at (mu metal).
Helps to block magnetic fields and also all of things that copper can do.

Wow, I really am a huge nerd.

I thought JLENS stood for Just Let Everyone Nuke Seattle.
