My experience fabricating (build to spec) the CST-100 Starliner’s windows - acrylic/polycarbonate pressure (internal) windows and fused silica thermal (external) windows - was torturous. Boeing is so damned disorganized, and their window designs raised red flags with me and my colleagues. Thankfully, for now, that…

“Trump was an openly corrupt president. That’s all the corrupt businessmen and criminals support him.”

Hopefully “Stranger in a Strange Land” is never turned into a film.  Plus, the PBS adaptation of “The Lathe of Heaven” was excellent, in my opinion, considering they had like a $5 budget.

Nope, it wouldn’t crush like a beer can.  It was unpressurized, so water pressure would have equalized as it sank and the air inside it was squeezed out.

Those are literally my windows, so I sure as hell hope so.

I am a lead mechanical engineer for the company that manufactured the windows for this abomination (and we make the Orion’s windows). Fused silica thermal panes and polycarbonate-clad acrylic for the pressure panes, all with customer-supplied material. The fused silica came from a boule from the Space Shuttle days, so…

“In fact, depending how a certain event goes this year (we all know what it is), the WWIII start may not be too far-fetched either.”

Well, we can avoid WWIII by collectively preferring “mean Tweets” and cheap gas over elder abuse and weaponized federal law enforcement agencies.

Since they’re already all spoken for, I’ll just wait for Rowan Atkinson to crash his so I can buy it used.

The first-gen A4, for me, is just a pure form.  My favorite Audi design (okay, I’ve got a lot of favorites, but it’s the top).  Same thing with the first-gen SLK - just gorgeous, simple, perfect.

Agreed. Fuck cancer. Lung cancer took my 49 year old non-smoker wife last November, and Ms. Wersching was far too young at 45 to die of *anything*.

They did not “taser him to death.”  Check your facts.

Nope.

Nope.  LOL.  Nope.

I get it. You only want to allow comments that fit your narrative, no matter how wrong it is. I get it. You don’t want clear understanding, you want to push some sort of agenda. I get it. But damn, would you for once listen to reason? Maybe just once?

Watch Donut Operator’s video breakdown. He explains everything very clearly.  This guy continued to resist, and if you don’t get good contact with the taser, you have to keep trying.  And the dude kept resisting.  Cocaine is a hell of a drug.  This guy was NOT killed by taser.  Sheesh.
