Modern airliners I believe have a sensor that detects runway slip conditions during landing to calibrate their auto braking systems. Maybe they use that?

The real problem is our media often does broadcast the truth about things that those who the truth is about rather dislike.

Irradiated moths you say?

Is there some kind of British Video Car Reviewer finishing school? I kept hearing Hammond but seeing some other guy. Same style even, but maybe less wit, and more ‘facts’ or something. Dunno.

“...converging in random parking lots for no reason other than to hang out and try to get their car over a curb.”

Zing!

I know, it was kind of a joke (kind of because I'm truly struggling to explain that place). Everyone has their crazies.

Of the many many ignorant assumptions I’ve made on this site, I think this is one of the least. Damn things are powerful. I had no idea.

Very cool story. I think they're a great invention. I never realized how powerful they really are.

Unless you're mentally unstable and we should be able to verify that.

You’re right. I'm grasping for ideas to explain the place. Please help.

Kinda kidding. (Power Rangers?) Unless that really is law. No you're right. Florida is usually pretty solid in the middle on state rankings. But they'll always be #1 in my heart.

Florida has no state income tax, and poor school funding is a major result. So kids there have to learn about physics from Power Rangers. It’s the law.

Geez. No wonder they kill people.

Goddamn it. I love the kit, I hate the reason. This is sure starting to look like a Nam or Korea, fighting a proxy war against the Ruskies. I’m waiting for our forces to be called ‘advisors’. And here I thought the dominos theory was totally debunked.

I drove a Tesla S P60 (the old one) on a track a few weeks ago. I’m ruined forever. Really. It was perfection.

Ok I see your reasoning. But I’d rather tap that same fear through good intelligence and targeted air strikes that can hit them anytime, anywhere. I don’t think carpet bombing a city held hostage by ISIS weenies wins hearts and minds. I think it creates more terrorists.

While typically contrarian you’re still a pretty reasoned and thought-out commenter normally. Are you really endorsing carpet bombing campaigns against guerilla cells?

I’m all for the wonderful awesomeness that is flight (insert great Louis CK bit about f’n flying here); they had me until the 291 people plus me as a test pilot. My brain converted that to ‘guinea pig’ for some reason. I pay them good money so that I’m NOT a test pilot. Thanks.

I see the Macbook rack, but where do you put the cappe-frappe-latte-chino?
