Tesla's discounts have been bugging me since they started. I love the idea of having cheaper cars, but I can only respect things that make sense.

Peruvian Navy The Peruvian Navy has given an intriguing glimpse of how sonar imaging is used to locate stricken submarines stranded on the sea floor. Rescuing submarines is incredibly complicated, often requiring specialized assets above and below the ocean’s surface, with time being the biggest enemy to success. Pictures taken by Peru’s Navy show the use of sonar imaging as part of a recent mock submarine search-and-rescue exercise.
