According to the SpaceX commentators during the live stream, the drogue chutes use explosive charges to deploy; they even referred to them as “mortars”. And apparently, one of the first things they do when they reach the capsule is to have a specialist climb aboard and inspect the charges to insure there were no…
Seems to me, ignoring the “forced drama”, the issue here is making a tire that “goes off” without actually failing. I thought they did this for a while. It’s not terribly complicated to achieve; start with a carcass that’s durable and won’t fail as easily as those used last weekend, but make them essentially out of…
OK... Here’s my question... But first, let mt start by saying, I absolutely LOVE the F1, it has *always* been my favorite car. And even though it’s now too old for Leo DeCaprio to date, the looks still hold up all these years later. Gordon Murray is *THE* man and the T.50 is THE car. It has eye watering specs that…
Why do you guys have to make it political? I come here to get away from that stuff!
We’ve been waiting on the rakes. The company that makes them has been busy making their new fangled fancy rakes, i.e. their *much* more expensive version, so they haven’t had time to make the ones we ordered. ...Even though we placed the order a couple years ago... But not to worry, we’ve apparently struck up a new…
When I saw it, it had a front bumper, so that made it look a lot better. I have some photos around here somewhere on my hard drive, I’m just too lazy to go looking for them.
I absolutely agree with you... Mostly. There was a time when cars had *too much* sidewall, and they wallowed all over the place. I’m talking 70-75% sidewalls. Then cars began showing up with 60-55 and so on. Personally I think 50 is the ideal number if your car is performance oriented. Otherwise a 55-60 is good for…
To be fair, you’re absolutely right. It’s a personal account that I’ve had for 20 years and 99% of those are junk. The rest are mostly unimportant things I’ve read in the preview; like receipts, shipping notifications, etc. I used to obsess over maintaining inbox zero, but I wasted far to much time on it and I have…
Yah, it’s pretty damn slick, and it looks even better in person.
Most definitely!
You da man Bradley Brownell!
All the more reason to send your mail-in ballot early!
I’ve always wondered why R&S just seemed to disappear. Well that’s a shame, I had no idea he was such a piece of shit, though I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised. I first saw R&S at Spike & Mike’s Sick And Twisted Festival / Outrageous Animation Festival, and I *know* I’m going to hell for some of the stuff I saw…
“...just 2% of American adults have more than 5,000 unread emails in their inbox...”
Senna was most definitely a rather unfortunate exception.
You makes some valid points. Still, Vettel has proven that past performance is no guarantee of future results. And as you’ve said, among other things, Perez brings the money were as Vettel will most certainly cost money... And lots of it too...
“He needs every opportunity possible to prove to the team that he should stay on next year...”
Aha... It all makes perfect sense now!
