Having too much oil in the engine can leading to the crankshaft whipping the oil into a froth and thereby reducing its lubricating capacity. This is more problematic on some engines versus others.

The engine in question is a CF34-10E (I believe) which has a fan intake area of 15 sq ft (53" diameter). Through this area, at takeoff (max) thrust, each engine moves about 9000 cu ft of air per second (assume average pressure and temperature at sea level) which comes out to about 400 mph at takeoff at the fan intake.…

Ramp crew jobs suck, but jet engines suck harder. 

I have two questions:

I highly suspect it has been happening for decades, but now we have the internet and 24/7 news cycle so it’s easier to find out about stuff like this. I suspect pre internet something like this was only reported locally, in this case in the Netherlands.

Context: Lockheed Martin has delivered about 1,000 F-35s so far. This was a developmental aircraft with new technology installed, on the way to Edwards Air Force Base for further testing.

Say you’re not from the US without saying you’re not from the US...

Yeah, what you described is called math. There’s nothing tricky about it.

This is literally the definition of a snowflake no matter what side you are on... His fee fees are hurt and he wants justice. 

I’m also very disappointed not to see any picture, animated or not, of an ATV driving through an ashiyu.

A lot of ATV and dirt bikers illegally ride on hiking/biking singletrack trails in my area. And I hope every single one of these bastards suffer the same fate, whether it’s caused by cops or not.

How do you ride an ATV in a foot bath ?

I sort of agree, but rather than proving you've got insurance before riding dangerously, you should have to prove you're an organ donor.

Agreed. We need to let Darwinism do its thing.

I’m at a point where I don’t think we should be fighting to keep idiots alive any more.

Was the tour that overran a ship tour, or an independent one? Because if it was the latter, then every cruiser knows this is a risk. Ship departure schedules are set in stone, engraved in gold, they will leave without you. It is something you accept. The skipper will spit you right out on the quayside if your own…

“When the guests did not return to the vessel at the all aboard time, their passports were delivered to the local port agents to retrieve when they returned to the port.”

A big old Olds wagon for credit card money that appears to be in solid shape?  Sign me up--Nice Price.

For a knockaround city car, this would be perfect. Smooth ride, highway speed and unassuming appearance. Even though this is 30 years old, this little runabout wagon is in fine shape and harder to kill than a cockroach. And it won’t narc you out to your insurance agents like a new Tahoe would.
