Okay, maybe that was too easy. Can you do a spacecraft that can land two people on the moon and get them back to orbit?
Grumman: Done.
Delivery is their forte. You need something to go somewhere, they have a vehicle for it
Oshkosh definitely is like "We'll haul anything: Your missiles to the launcher, your tank to the front line, your garbage to the dump, your firefighting ass to the blaze, your concrete to the construction site, yo mama up and down, your broken down truck to the mechanic, your mail someday... and uh... no idea how that sports car got in the shot"
They just recently purchased a company that builds the ramps that you get onto airplanes with as well.
Grumman is weird here because the mail trucks were just a singular side project
The GE Profile All-in-One Washer/Dryer is objectively the worst home appliance I've ever use / owned.
It is absolutely not fit for a family with pets or more than 3 household members. It requires much more maintenance than both of our old machines put together. We've had to buy specialty tools & a mini-shop vac to keep it cleaned out & parts of it you still cannot reach without disassembly (which the owner can't do with out voiding the warranty). We've had 6 repair visits in less than two years, and the drying sensor has now failed twice. They are refunding our purchase entirely. If we hadn't purchased the extended warranty we'd be screwed and out $2500.
If you are considering one of these, stay away.
What the fuck, the 300€ chinese off-brand no-name washing machine I bought has been doing its thing for three years and counting now (with the occasional ripped t-shirt or disappeared sock). The only maintenance I have ever done is clean the "filter" (just a small hole somewhere where stuff accumulates) and throw in some machine cleaner it starts smelling. Fair, it does not dry and therefore is mostly an empty box with some pipes and an electric motor, but as someone else said, "electricity costs money, the sun is free".
Come for the jokes, stay for the unprompted washing machine reviews.
It's less a review and more of a warning.
The LLV's have only lasted this long because they had to. Just one of those features of not having a functional legislative branch for 50 years. There is a 6 billion dollar contract for them to be supplied with a new kind of vehicle, NGDVs, but the company behind them seems to be plagued by repeated delays and who knows if they will ever actually deliver all the vehicles that were ordered.
They were built to last 24 years (later extended to 30 years) that is about how long the mail jeeps from the 50's lasted before being replaced with the LLV. As to why they have been delayed in replacements... seems oshkosh underestimate how long it'll take to create a whole brand new production line from them and was ill prepared and the government too far invested to seek a new bidder.
Well, Republic Aviation actually originally made the A-10 - Northrop just inherited everything during the consolidation era of the late 80s and 90s.
Just sayin’
The mail truck can be both those things, bombs need delivery.
Now do Yamaha!

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
