Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Yep. Trump did what tonight's meme shows. Trump calls it "Making America Great." He did it with the full approval of his congressional accomplices while they smirked their evil smirks. It's what psychopaths do. It wasn't enough to let our enemies attack our elections. Trump wanted to do something that hurts as many Americans as possible and does it in a more direct manner. He and his party are merchants of misery and proud of it. How 'bout a special shout out to the 62,000,000 hate-filled nihilistic nincompoops who voted for this. And, let's never forget the likes of Sea... more »

Amazing: How Old 1970s Technology Is Making the New MQ-25 Drone Stealthy
*David Axe* *Technology, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2012%3Anewsml_TM3E8BT1GUB01&share=true] Pretty cool. *Key point: *These drones share technology that was discovered before but is only now being put to full use. Here's how it happened. The U.S. Navy’s new MQ-25 Stingray aerial-refueling drone bears an uncanny resemblance to an experimental U.S. military plane from the late 1970s. And that similarity could point to the way for the Stingray’s potential evolution from a tanker into a stealthy surveillance and strike aircraft. On A... more »
