Kitty, there was plenty of non-military damage, I never said there wasn't.
But the prime target was military production and as others have mentioned, attempts were made to warn the population.
Im also not saying that dropping these bombs was specifically a *good* thing, as I think we can all agree that loss of life is bad. But one of the deciding factors in using nuclear weapons.to end the war was that the only other option would have been and invasion of mainland Japan.
Based on experience in invading islands just as Okinawa and Iwo Jima, estimates for the death toll *just* on the US side for a mainland invasion were in the millions...
The war needed to end, and based on the options available at the time, A nuclear bomb was the fastest and least destructive way to accomplish that.

And before the downvotes come in, there's nothing wrong with a non-technical degree if that's what you're actually interested in and want to pursue a career in. Too many people get a degree just for the sake of it, and not because they actually care.

I have much more respect for someone that goes to a trade school for a skill they're passionate about, than someone who spends $60k on a communication degree just because "I'm supposed to go to college"

I'll have to watch that, but until I do, a good flat plane v8 is pretty glorious...

I'd call that a subset of the "cool factor" reason, but yes. Particularly when you have a nice Italian v12...

There's lots of reasons for it.
Better weight distribution, less total weight (no long driveshaft), the cool factor.
Also, not just Italians...
Porsche 911s, Caymans and Boxters, Lotuses, the Toyota mr2, mclarens...
The 1960s vw beetle...
Technically the single motor Tesla's also are "MR" layout (mid-engine, rear drive)

I wish that were true...
But there are too many people that want to play cowboy...

Still want to see

Holy crap I've seen this meme at least 10 times before, but I've never noticed that...
