Wait until you find out that the space his rental car was supposed to be in was empty, but then the storm blew the rental agreement away so he could not prove he was the person who rented the car.

The sales guy did not mention that the last time I went shopping.

Light and alarms went off in AF 447 - they never realized the problem.

He was told he didn’t have long to catch his connecting flight and he wanted a head start before it got away. Maybe it was a Pokemon prank gone horribly wrong?

I think California is older than that.

Local places are paying $150 a ton for scrap steel, a bit more for aluminum. I wonder how much this will get.

The simplest is to place 4 microphones at some distance apart, 2 on each side of a road and trilateralize on the shared peak sound intensity. It can be further improved using directional microphones to put it to a smaller area, which will be required to photograph the license plate.

It depends on the desired orbit. Equatorial is good for equatorial orbits and  minimizing the energy to get into orbit - particularly for missions to other planets. Launching farther north is better for non-equatorial orbits, such as for the GPS constellation and for polar orbits.

It has to have happened in small plane training that a student pilot got into the plane for that first “Here we go!” introductory flight, having been told an instructor would be with him shortly, and another pilot, farther along, had been told his instructor was ill but another guy would take over for the day. So the…

I think that co-pilot is in for a little scolding. While others in management should be doing all the tracking, the co-pilot/First Officer is just as responsible for knowing what certificates he should have.

It may be cheaper to produce but it has a higher energy density per gallon. This is what made it such a great bargain in the 1970s. Then someone figured out that more energy was more valuable.

Just a note - pistols with servo operated triggers have already been assembled to multi-rotor drones and flown in the USA. The FAA and the ATF have no regulations about that, which I suppose is fine as if one is intending using remote controlled vehicles to do some harm that a remote control car can be pressed into…

Smith and Wesson,

Since this guy was on the Canadian side the FAA would have little to say about it. Needless to say, the majority of those who will be prosecuted for crimes due to the tracing of a drone registration will be those who are falsely accused based on the Police and DA having no clue what the laws actually are and depending…

Best be careful with this - A Tesla already attacked one plane in an airplane preserve. Can’t imagine the chances for an attack out in the wild.

Few use that term in the pure biology science sense. It is almost always as justification for the most horrific things humans plan to do. A typical example is one group justifying killing another who, because they didn’t have access to some resource to defend themselves, were less human and therefore unfit instead of…

Sherman or the Willys Jeep. Both could carry 5 people in a squeeze. I understand the Jeep got better mileage, but the Sherman had superior protection for collisions with other vehicles.

The OP didn’t talk about the end delivery cost either. Grocery chains pay the amount that those items cost to make or obtain. I don’t care about the grocery store value added fragment - only the overall change in the cost of the entire supply chain due to fuel.

I didn’t say anything about transport to the end consumer. The warehouse isn’t an end consumer is it.

Evolution isn’t survival of the fittest. It’s survival of those which survive to reproduce.
