From pprune the general consensus (though not definitive) is the Air France crew lined up on one runway and had programmed the plane for the other, parallel runway, so when the plane got to the point where auto-land software kicked in, the plane started to re-align with the runway it was told to use. The pilots were…

Buffet is famously hands-off with his holdings. He sure as hell ain’t telling the finance guy at a Nissan dealer in AZ to fluff up ad-ons...

And yet the false advertising was still a criminal act worthy of punishment.

I suffer from cognitive dissonance, because I viscerally agree with you by principle.

I’m sure a lot of work went into this… but considering you can get an officially licensed fastback body from Dynacorn for $17,500, I’m not sure how I feel about the price tag…

I find it pretty funny that rally cars are far closer to stock than “stock” cars, these days.

Came here to say just that. Especially with aluminum, a steel bit will eat right through it. The frame itself has plenty of leverage, and if you can increment by 32nds or 64ths it’ll just take a few passes.

I once took over a chemical engineering lab that had all of the chemicals stored together, sorted alphabetically rather than by hazard classification, with no secondary containment. There was enough HF in there to dispose of a corpse, some of it mixed with organic solvents and stored in glass. The safety inspection…

A drill press and a series of big ass bits. Faster, easier and fewer chemical burns.

suckers. I saved the 8K (because I would have had to pay mass tax on top of the $29k also) and still moved to NH a few years later. I now proudly vote against every repubtard in the live free (unless you are a woman of childbearing age) & die state

I try to always look at all the facts in an open minded unbiased way but I always come back to the same thing. Fuck Max and fuck Horner

By buying a Tesla, I’m supporting his antics and contributing to his own delusion that he’s right. Luckily, there are a lot of other options with more on the way. The best thing for Tesla at this point would be for Elon to be gone.

You can also mute Musk on Twitter.

Sure, but if I’m not fan of the band why would I wear their tee shirt, if you know what I mean?

It would be nuanced down to the specific vehicle, motor type, thermal management, and fuel.

Your shitty union doesn’t disprove the value and effectiveness of unions.

Oh absolutely. Transitioning to EVs is going to require massive infrastructure investment anyway, it’s just interesting to think about what it might take.

Valid questions, but it’s certainly worth investigating the tech. Being able to charge in 5 minutes would negate every single issue with current electric cars.

Exactly. I’m an engineer (by degree and profession), and in my experience it is not at all uncommon for engineers in most industries to have either hard-science degrees like physics or chemistry or to have technical degrees and tons of relevant experience. Unless you’re a ‘Professional Engineer’, it’s really just a…
