I WANT IT.

Speaking of airframes of that vintage seeing service again, have you read about the OV-10X?

They’re like the rotary-wing version of the C130, which doesn’t surprise me, considering they’re of similar vintage. Airframe from that time just seems to be indestructable.

What do you suggest is wrong with it?

If you’re going to ignore that you can get a micro four-thirds camera that is the same size and cheaper, then I’ll have to nominate the Panasonic LX100. It has dedicated manual controls and an amazing sensor and lens pairing. It’s also $780 :(

Naming rights. It was the first known moon. Therefore “moon”.

Woah, Ross drove the wall into Ryan? That’s badass. Most everyone else would’ve driven Ryan into the wall.

I’ve been looking for my next read. Thanks.

A HS buddy of mine had an ‘80s FWD Oldsmobile we named “The Blue Bomber”. He grenaded the transmission and his family helped him locate a new car. Exactly the same, but darker, so we called it “The Bluer Bomber”.

Insulting me does nothing but betray your arrogance.

Premis 3 is wrong. If net torque is non zero then there is acceleration, and therefore motion. Power is the product of that motion and torque, not the other way around. Power does not produce acceleration, torque does.
