It’s a very good road... I’ve driven it a few times in the past when traffic on the 5 is bad.

This is great! I miss F.lux from my jailbroken iPhone 5; the white screen on the 6S is harsh in low-light conditions even at minimum brightness.

I really like that colour scheme!

I don’t think I understand this well - the Russian involvement, I mean in terms of the overall war theater. Are all the “good parties” sharing a common database of targets that gets chalked down from the board every time someone destroys it? How do we know the Russians are actually taking down targets that matter?

I like the Flanker.

Well, thanks for correcting me then. You seem to be really knowledgeable on Sukhois! :) TIL! I always thought they only housed the deceleration chute but the added length of the Su-34 prompted me to find other info when I first saw pictures a while ago. That’s when I came across those sources.

Ah, thanks. I’ve heard of people who’ve bought old Sukhois, hadn’t heard of anyone buying one that was still in service as a daily flyer :)

As I said, sometimes... including other Su models.

It also, sometimes, houses a rear-facing RADAR array. And in cases of other Flankers, the deceleration chute.

we bought a version of the Su-27

I keep a pretty clean desk and my office is pretty bare. No stacks of paper, or rows of pictures and trinkets.

Somewhere in this region, I’d expect to see a thruster pointed upwards in case one of the jumps overcomes the gravity of terra firma... you could couple it with an accelerometer or something.

I’m not entirely sure about the info on “Hindi”... from what I read, it descended directly from Sanskrit, an even more historic language. I might be wrong about this but Urdu & Hindi are more like siblings. Also, I don’t think campo means press.

Thanks! I had completely forgotten about Apollo 12’s brush with disaster. Re-reading up on all the details.

Anyone know what these plus marks are called? “Calibration marks”?

Frankly, I expect I’ll make this list some time soon ‘coz, last night, I was a “fantastically stupid restaurant customer”. I walked in to Hooters looking for a burger... a veggie burger (I know, haha!).

I’ve used Type2Phone for a while to type on my iPhone. I believe it’s free as well. 1Keyboard was good too and worked well with Apple TV.

Alan, you’re right, brand loyalty is stupid and is for suckers. It gives you a false feeling of comfort and since it takes away the decision-making part of choosing between 2 products, it’s easier. However, there are a few practical reasons where it makes sense:

Why? I don’t get the point of a lawsuit... It’s a cheap stunt for money and Porsche isn’t going to change much in its design - there’s nothing to gain for either party. What’s her endgame? You don’t sue the city for planting trees close to the road, you can’t sue the manufacturer because of the driver’s fault the same…

I’m still getting used to my new 6S - I’m jumping from a 5. The thumb’s stretch is a bit much (initially) and this combined with 3D presses at icons in the far corner will take some getting used to; I know the basis of my complaint of a big(ger) phone is about a year old now.
