Another nut job on the highway.

This will fill the same transportation niche that Concorde does now. 

Perhaps that’s why Mr. Invulnerable is using the cold weather as an excuse to have the oath of office given inside. 

The lawyer may be stretching the truth. If this was his first-ever rodeo with hypoglycemia, he would not know to buy something with sugar; it doesn’t take a huge amount.

DJI believes that Remote ID is an adequate replacement for geofencing.

I’ve seen them on pickup trucks just waiting to tear the crap out of any pedestrian’s legs who happens not to see them jutting beyond the side of the vehicle as they try to squeeze in to get into their own car; these are not often parked within the lines. Not as much a shin buster as the never-removed, never used,…

It is far more concerning that it doesn’t show recognition of the RR-Xing crossbucks and that there is a rail line crossing that isn’t a conventional road.

On the other hand, Russia has been known for mathematics and science for a long time. There was a lot of government interest in such things and they developed an education system to promote it. It’s not just because they are less expensive, it is because they are highly trained - like starting in elementary school…

The Chinese government doesn’t want us dead. They have a tremendous problem of over 1 billion people who want to move to the middle class standard of the West but they don’t have the manufacturing base to pay for that. So they need to keep everyone busy on diversionary projects, like building masses of empty cities…

The problem with banning harvesting is like banning pick-pocketing. The harvesters don’t care if you can’t prove they are doing it.

In India a 737 had a delayed take-off and failed to clear the perimeter wall after chopping out a good chunk of the localizer antenna. It took out several rows of bricks and the wire fence that was on top. The fence was found wrapped around the landing gear on its next arrival.

Possibly concerns that the damage was to the doors and that retracting the gear might cause even more problems. No interest in flying at the very low speed limit with gear-extended.

More than 9100 people will die, on average, every hour if all who are currently alive make it to 100 years old and no one is born and dies any younger than that.

There are two parts to the conversion from static to dynamic friction. The classical physics interpretation says that area doesn’t matter. This is true as long as neither participating surface fails due to shear load. Failure within the ice or snow is the limit when the water layer on the ice or the various components…

An African American was involved at the very top. Ordinarily I would not care one way or the other, but in this case I feel some prejudice against this particular South-African American. 

That goes along with the other stupidity - making turn signal lights microscopic and co-locating them with the head lamps and then deciding the fix is to turn off the head lamp next to the signal so it looks like the car has a head lamp out when the car is waiting for a turn. 

Al Gore never took credit for inventing the Internet. He took credit for pushing the legislation through that paid for the US to develop it. Vin Cerf credited Al Gore with that indicating that Al’s help was critical to getting it put into place. 

If they had anywhere else to go, they would have. Cars ahead stopped, cars behind stopped, no room to turn. It is likely that the air was becoming unbreathable with acrid fumes and soot and staying in the cars was not an option. 

Agree with all of that - but it may not be panic as much as making the best choice of those available at the time. Like those who jumped on 9/11, they didn’t go from panic, they went because they understood what would happen if they didn’t jump.

Old joke - if America was a person, Houston is where they would shove in the enema.
