I think you could analyze that all day long and you’d never find a satisfactory answer.

It wouldn’t take much to get a warhead up to escape velocity. No, existing weapons systems don’t have the power, but that’s because they’re designed to put the warhead on a ballistic trajectory, not out into space.

I’m no means an expert, but solar radiation are gamma rays that are being emitted by the energy release from the sun. Gamma rays them self can’t make something radioactive.

I’m going to take the libertarian view to this and simply say we need to stop getting hung up on gender and race when hiring, unless there is a clear pattern of discrimination.

I think I managed to make it all the way through that game once. Landing (and refueling, for the matter) was almost a matter of chance. Surviving the actual level was actually easier than the landing!

I flew Allegiant this past summer, who has an upsell for about anything outside of your seat.

160 mph in a 99 Mustang GT on I-85 a couple of miles south of the Atlanta airport because a guy in a M3 thought he could hang with me.

My grandfather had a poster outside his office that had a picture of a guy jumping off a cliff skiing, that read, “No Guts! No Glory!”

I work with quite a few folks that were there on 9/11 and listening to their stories of when the supes came down the aisle and said “land everyone” still captures your attention even after 15 years and reading/hearing all of the other accounts of the day.

You’re welcome!

The Williams sisters are well into their 30s and have been playing competitively for probably 25 years. They’re probably going to need the anti-inflammatories after the beatings their joints have been subjected to!

Kinda what I figured. When you say users, you’re really meaning the couple of thousand volunteer map editors that have put them all in manually. I think there were perhaps 15 or so states that Waze was able to obtain speed limit data from, but the rest of it was folks such as myself using Google street view and…

Nope.

Basically TCAS interrogates the transponders of other surrounding aircraft, same as our secondary radar. So a TCAS equipped aircraft can “see” other aircraft around them even if they’re not getting alerts. The Wikipedia article is fairly accurate vs the briefing we got about it a couple of years back.

It has much better range than that. I’m a controller and I occasionally get pilots asking me about aircraft 30-40 miles away at altitudes 4-5000' different than their own (usually enquiring about ride conditions or other weather phenomena).

Great, Liberty will screw it up like they screwed up the Braves.

Foreseeability.

If another driver caused it, they’d be on the hook for it. Even if they fled the scene if you’ve got a witness that said that your actions were the direct result of someone else’s carelessness and there was nothing else you could reasonably do, you’d likely be good to go.

All of this comes from the people who just buy clunker after clunker, run them into the ground, then let them rot and/or use them for parts for the next heap. Not a problem for the guy with 10+ acres that isn’t visible from the road, a real issue when it is someone within a subdivision on 1/4 acre lots. It wouldn’t be…

I just about wanted to kick my Mazda 3's ass yesterday when the A/C fan motor went kaput on a 90+ degree day.
