The difference there is that in a micro-grav flight you're going back and forth between near-0 G and several Gs since the comet aircraft is diving into near free fall then pulling up hard. That's what makes it challenging. You only get a few seconds of floating (and rarely perfect free fall) before you're slammed into…

And page loads on 56k are measured in minutes, not seconds. Still orders of magnitude off for the latency to be the limiting factor.

Bad physics is laughably bad.

There's a difference between the bandwidth and the latency. The thought of latency contributing to slow page loads for a website is laughable.

Really? I'd be thinking about Asteroids. Also - Space Invaders.

Because it's like Facebook but isn't Facebook. Obviously.

LA has some particular challenges. There are actually some pretty decent corridors set up with bike lanes crisscrossing the city, but a lot of motorists are oblivious to them. I'd routinely see people drive half in their lane and half in the bike lane, or turn across them without signalling or looking.

That would be valid if the Dublin plant was willfully breaching the contract. If they're selling it to people with the understanding that it's for local distribution and those third parties are turning around and trucking it across state lines, it isn't their fault.

Showers in the office? No.

God I love corporate America.

Two reasons.

Oooh, interesting. If you ever find out what the grating is made out of I'm very curious.

Your wording is more precise, but mine is still grammatically correct. There are now even fewer anonymous critics, and he is no longer one of them. ;)

Oh, you're right, my bad. Thank god we don't live in the future.

"I called Ryan, who professionally eats delicious and expensive food for rich people as one of New York City's last anonymous restaurant critics for Bloomberg and the price hike."

Interesting. Definite possibility, though the Cathodic protection being scrapped entirely makes me think there was still a severe, underlying design flaw that couldn't be addressed in time.

No, the galvanic circuit isn't complete so you wouldn't see this kind of corrosion. Thermal expansion between dissimilar metals seems like a decent possibility.

I don't know, they could be a valuable asset down the line when they have to name future versions. Who else will know several desert options starting with J, Q, etc?

Interesting, are these support beams we're talking about? You've piqued my curiosity. The first thing that jumps to mind is thermal expansion joints on load bearing members, but I honestly don't know what this is (but I want to!)

You've clearly never looked at a warship up close. They essentially let them go to rust while deployed. Someone else posted a decent explanation as to why this is in another thread in the comments of this article.
