Theoretically it's infinite, but close-up football shots probably don't lend themselves to very many planes. They may also compress things to a few planes for a web viewer.

Aw man, complications from Altzheimer's

Does "Gator Navy" refer to Navy assets dealing with getting Marines on the ground?

The 996 headlights aren't great, but for some reason they seem to work better on the Turbo than a standard.

Oddly enough, their (branded, at least) cider is pretty good.

Seven minutes of aerodynamic visualizations

I love the wheels on that Porsche

It's no different than flying an airplane into a headwind so you can take off or land at a lower speed.

I'm pretty sure what preserves Newton is a combination of the narrowing AoA and simple friction. Sails can only go so close to the wind until they stop making lift — a standard sailboard might be able to make it to 30 degrees, these things can make 10-15 degrees. On top of that, eventually you're making enough drag…

That is how it works, though. What matters to a sail/wing/whatever is the apparent wind, which is the forward speed plus the natural wind: the faster the ship is going, the more wind the sail gets (assuming head- or side- wind; behind is another topic). The limiting principle, though, is that as the apparent speed…

It is the land of rugby and footie

Please don't over-shoot our two mile runway in your monster aircraft.

Probably to some extent, but I think that normal barriers aren't really "truck rated," and are meant more for angled impacts, not so much head-on.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: how is rugby not a thing here?

Having lived exactly that: not like this.

There's something about the core fueling this — and pretty much all hate-based movements — that just eludes me. I'm not as empathetic as I should be, but I do a decent job of the "walk a mile in someone else's shoes" thing. I've tried for this but there's... nothing. There is no crevice in me dark enough that I can…

Once I get the loan value closer to the sell value, I'm seriously considering dropping my FRS for a green FiST. Not that I don't love the FRS, but the Fiesta looks like so much damn fun. And more trunk space, and better economy, and less cost. I'm having to seriously resist go out for a test drive since I know how…

Top Gear convinced me that a 1L 3cyl Ford hatchback is my dream car. Those guys can sell anything.

It's like watching a fat man touchdown except someone photoshopped the fat man to be slimmer
