Nebulous: Fleet Command is the best space navy ship to ship combat game I have ever played. If you liked Nexus: the Jupiter Incident or the more recent Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock, and Battlefleet: Gothic Armada (colons seem to be a popular part of this genre), this is probably right up your alley.
Stick shifts and safety belts or galaxy 500, I can’t decide.
I finally know what the Vandals were singing about.
Carnitas are something I never thought would benefit from milk. I was shocked to discover that it makes some delicious into something exquisite. I make carnitas by simmering pork shoulder for a few hours with the requisite spices after sauteing them in oil to get a good sear on the outside. Finish them with a few cups…
Is there any appreciable difference between sitting 12 inches apart vs 24 inches apart? The reality is social distancing in the confined space of a passenger airplane is not realistic. What they should be doiing is handing out N95's when you get on the plane and requiring everyone wear them correctly.
Cycle fenders for me.
It’s this kind of egregious wastefulness that exposes just how broken our society has become. I suppose it’s really nothing new, people with overwhelming resources have been willing to stand by and watch the disenfranchised underclass struggle and suffer needlessly for generations. What we accept as normal is…
My apologies for being so frivolous in my assertions pertaining to part 91 operations. I’ve been working part 135 for so long I hadn’t realized they have changed the medical requirements under 91. I just go get a medical every year and call it a day. Without getting mired down in the details, what I am trying to say,…
Owning a plane is wildly expensive and not really comparable to owning a car, and though in some ways it is like a house, your house doesn’t cost hundreds or thousands of dollars an hour to operate (yes, an hour). On top of the mentioned fuel and overhaul cost, there are a myriad of items that require an annual…
If you want to tow with your 4runner then you want the V8. I don’t think I would trade it for a brand new one if it was offered to me.
Knife sharpening is more arcane art form than hard science. For instance, the angle of an edge defines both sharpness and durability. the 8-12 degree edge will be sharper but also thinner, which makes it more susceptible to wear. Mostly it comes down to practice and getting used to the act of sharpening. You can get a…

It is a higher resolution display. So if you have a giant television it looks sharper (3480X2160 pixels as opposed to 1920x1080 for something like 1080p).
The only bo-105 I ever flew was slow as a snail riding a turtle. It was improbably maneuverable though.
I’m pretty certain that is actually true. Huey blades are incredibly heavy and wide and contain mind boggling amounts of kinetic energy (you can take one sitting on the ground at %100 rotor rpm and pick it up, do a 360 pedal turn and set back down with the engine at idle). However, if you hit something too large it…
Seeing as you have a prominent helicopter featured in the photo, let’s talk about the real elephant in the room...All the things they get wrong about helicopters.
We took our dilapidated sky bus to Las Vegas and it left us stranded dead in the side of a mountain [Update]
While there is a theoretical max speed (C). I think it would take a long time to get there. The chase scene was relatively short so neither ship would approach the speed of light and the first ship to run out of fuel would not be able to outrun the still accelerating ship. I suppose if one ship could out-accelerate…
If ship engagements were based on hard science it’s likely that the opponents would only be within visual range of each other for seconds and that the battle would almost certainly be over before you ever got to that point. Closing velocities would be at thousands (or tens of thousands) of miles per hour while they…
Cheddar cheese is not going melt by placing it on top of the burger after it has been cooked. You’re just going to end up with a sweaty, floppy piece of almost entirely unmelted cheddar which is going to result in a repulsive chewing experience. Get a life dirtbag.
