If you design a craft from the beginning without a pilot, you can do so, so much more. Don’t think about simply removing a pilot from today’s planes.

If there is any role in the future that I can see for a human being in a combat plane, it will be as a controller, high above any engagement. As for the size of the plane, that all depends on the purpose it’s intended. Small planes wouldn’t be able to carry much payload.

Sorry you took it the wrong way. The airplanes were remote-pilot capable in the late 80s. I did not mean AI capable. But you cannot argue that the limiting factor in any airplane, and has been for a long long time, is the pilot. Yes, they do the controlling, but as far as what holds back the capabilities of a fighter,…

This is exactly where all the resistance to AI pilots or remote pilots is coming from. The once-proud ranks of uber-elite men (and some women) known as “pilots” will be gone. Overnight. Like, as fast as camera film. And as many of the top brass in charge of making decisions about aircraft are pilots, they have…

I’d call this a winner. Layered and deep.

There is no way on the good green Earth that I can stand to listen to that vapid creature Ellen voice a stupid fish AGAIN for two entire hours. Jeeze Louise someone please disappear that person from our collective consciousness. She wasn’t funny as a comedian, isn’t funny as a presenter, isn’t funny as a cartoon. She…

So....they have some forum names, ip’s, passwords to those accounts....I’m not really too stressed. It’s not like I linked my credit cards or bank accounts to my car forum name, and I certainly don’t put in my physical address or phone numbers, how much harm is this gonna do? How many countries will be brought down…

I think as the spellcaster’s level increases, so does the strength of the spell and the amount of creatures affected.

I’ve personally sworn by a shot of Potka for years. That stuff is 3 minutes to complete mood reversal and relaxation. Recipe is simple, and you can use good trim. An oz of dried trim in quart of $10 Monopolova vodka (great stuff found at Trader J), stick it in the freezer for a month. Strain back into a bottle, cap it…

THC and the other active ingredients are only now being truly studied, and it’s been learned that the terpenes and cannabinoids tend to have different effects at different combinations, and when combined with other active ingredients, like alcohol. It’s quite the magical mystery plant when you get past the…

Key point in my purchase of the Soul? MANUAL SHIFT BABY!

My 2015 Kia Soul is fantastic on visibility, but yes, the window sills are still too tall for comfortably resting my elbow on. But to be perfectly honest, I came from a lovely 1998 Honda Prelude that had the exact same issue, so I think it started in the mid-90s. Always thought it was hilarious that my ass was about…

In addition to having possession of one of the most irritating lisps ever heard by human ears. Tried to watch one of his vids. Now I scan through them silently and it’s worlds better.

Starting to see why there are so few drivers left from those days?

Tie-die? Thats the best you can do when actually rubbing elbows with the real old money?

Hate Hamilton much? I think with three(!!!) rings, he knows the car. Whew can’t even respond to the rest, it’s so wrong.

To be utterly honest, I thought seasons 21 & 22 were pretty forced, other than the special episodes. You could tell they were running out of ideas and struggling to keep up with their own lofty standards they had set.

Haas is doing far and away better than anyone ever expected in F1 for their first year. Let’s hope they graduate to the next level (top tier competitor) before the immense insane cost of running in F1 catches them. And signs on this guy. Good lord I would start following F1 more religiously if there was both an…

Spot on.

Racing is racing. Ramming is wrecking. What other part don’t you get?
