On the surface this question seems entirely valid, but here’s the problem with it:

Lolol I want you to take a close look at when I posted the comment you replied to!

On rare occasions people ask me what my favorite piece of music is. For pure classical it’s “Fantasia on a Theme” by Thomas Tallis but for modern classical it’s “The Battle of Hoth”. It’s ~14 minutes of pure emotion. And it’s a great piece if you’re a Tuba player. They don’t get much love.

Eh, it’s not gonna beat my “BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER, OVERSTEER MY BAGEL” shirt. Sam Smith will live on forever in my wardrobe.

I had to take a second and double check that this was indeed a [former] Gawker Media site I read this on.

I’m gonna complicate this even more and inform you that throughout most of my life, I’ve called it a rear windscreen. I feel it’s probably the most accurate term; most cars have a low-pressure zone right there and if that glass weren’t there it would definite cause a lot of turbulence, even if it doesn’t come with any…

FWIW in DS9 during the Dominion war the casualty counts become quite stunning and are visited often in the series. In multiple episodes there are scenes where the main characters are reading casualty lists for anybody they know, and several times they find them. I seem to recall O’Brien and Dax being hit particularly…

The Visitor stands far and away as the most emotional episode of Star Trek I’ve ever seen. Inner Light and Far Beyond the Stars produce plenty of dust in the room, don’t get me wrong, but The Visitor affected me on such a profound level that I had to sit in the dark for an hour afterwards and do some serious life…

So it’s going to be three years of the episode where they weren’t allowed to be “entertaining” in the US.

I did a deployment on a US carrier in 2014, and we had tremendous issues from the heat. About six months into the cruise (it was nine months), we started losing compressed air throughout the ship on a semi-regular basis. Come to find out, it was because the Ship’s Service Air Compressors (SSACs) were cooled by the…

It’s been known for a while that GPS “spoofing”, or jamming, has been a thing. The GPS signals themselves are at such a high frequency and such a low power that jamming those frequencies, both of which are public knowledge, is laughably easy.

When our squadrons would go on detachment to NAS Fallon, NV, every once in a…

I have to say it’d have to be a toss-up between the Mustang owner whose remote-start-equipped stick-shift GT got remote-started into a dealer’s lake(!) by said dealer’s employee, and the dude who poured NOS energy drink into his GSX-R’s gas tank for more octane.

FLIR cameras depend on a black body for relative measurements. The blacker the body, the more accurate the measurements. Something like this could make military and commercial FLIR systems hundreds of times (relatively) more accurate and detailed.

I feel like you replied to me just so you could say you have a Phaeton. I’d probably do the same thing, mind. I’m not even mad

I’m an E-2C Hawkeye maintainer with nearly 14 years in the Navy - I’ve watched literally hundreds, if not thousands, of planes do the same thing in the picture. I’d say somewhere between 40-60% of the time they do in fact land rear wheels first, but the rest of the time it’s a definite three-pointer, and even when…

Places I’ve had my information stolen or given away from through shitty or nonexistent security:

It’s a process mostly shrouded by mystery, but it seems you have to be starred by enough regular (non-grey) commenters, and I wanna say Gawker employees can de-grey you instantly if they like the cut o’ yer jib.

This has actually existed for a while now, at least in the military. They are called EGIs - Embedded GPS INS. Most aircraft in the military that are less than 15 years old use them, and many more are being retrofitted.
