The announcers have been calling them iPads since they started using them, now that they crap out they call them Microsoft Surface. They’re going to love that up in Redmond!

There are no accidental discharges—only negligent discharges.

Xlogmodl really nailed that radar absorbent material. Not to detract from what Uliaknomoiahd did with the overall design though. I think Predator even helped out with the wrist mounted computer system.

Don’t ever become an engineer. Ever. For all of our good.

Your insurance comparison does not hold up. There is no “maximum rated speed” for cars. Speed is a constant...it doesn’t subject a car’s chassis to external forces.

It went over it’s designed load limits. The airframe was compromised.

I think so too. The normal climb attitude after rotation is around 15 degrees.

Rather than using the entire runway, I think the pilot was hot dogging, he was just doing a low pass over the beach most likely for the on lookers he guessed would be there.

Let me guess, this is about the only time condoms have been used in mass quantity in this region?

So it comes down to The Law vs. common sense, being stuck behind a slow car in the twisties for 15 miles till the next actual passing zone, stuff like that.

“You probably don’t ride, so you don’t understand the unquenchable urge that riding gives you to act like an entitled dickhead on the road.”

More Ferraris burn in a month than have 777s in 20 years of service.

The video is private :D

I don’t understand your reasoning here. I’m leasing a phone right now from sprint, they explained to me that after two years there are three options:

This is one of the finest examples of a logical fallacy that I’ve ever seen.

Being afraid is one thing. Continually posting FUD and whatever else you’re doing is not that thing.

Oh, shit! You’re just everywhere, being scared. What the fuck? Do you ever drive in a car? How can you possibly reconcile that much more extreme danger, when going to your xenophobia meetings?

Are you being cheeky or a dick?

Despite the fact that there were an unusually high number of air incidents this weekend, air travel on the whole is indeed statistically safer than other modes of transport.

I don’t think that’s how statistics work.
