I haven’t taken the plunge yet but I am close.

Lock laces FTW. I convert all my shoes to lock laces these days and I am able bodied (and lazy). They just feel better because they are elastic so when the shoe bends it does not squeeze my food as much as regular laces.

Tell you what... When someone does it better, faster or cheaper I’ll consider it. Until then, pound sand.

It’s hyperbole I use to impress upon people the fact that they’ve almost certainly committed a number of felonies in their life, even without necessarily realizing it, because so many are so simple. Taking this particular example, there are only two elements the government must prove to make out a prosecution for…

Some time in the distant future...

Nozzle design isn’t going to be hugely impacted. Remember that typical first stages burn out at 200,000 feet or higher and are going to be optimized for the portion of the flight where they’re largely horizontal and approaching that burn-out altitude. So whether you’re starting at 0 ft or 35k ft, you’re still starting…

Orbital inclination is another big part of it. By being able to point the rocket in the right direction prior to dropping it, you avoid the need to perform a dog-leg maneuver to hit the desired inclination. So you save quite a bit of fuel by not having to perform a very inefficient maneuver and as a result your…

This was a bad date. She had a horrible date with a clueless guy who thought he was being sexy and hot. She was made to feel uncomfortable, and it wasn’t right.

It’s already going to be an uphill battle getting the NHTSA petition for a true driverless vehicle approved, so why add to the burden by throwing new restraint systems and airbags into the mix? This way they still focus on the hot new consumer trend, get to be first to market, and can still develop the body and…

No no no! They don’t have to be pretty, they need to make sense for what they do. Please change my little character study accordingly. Also, give me a cool catchphrase.

“Mike, we need that design.”

My six kids ranging in ages 17 to 2 usually fight over computers and other electronics. When they try to get me involved, I remind them my solution will always be no one wins. That’s usually enough motivation for them to come up with a compromise on their own.
