Not for nothing, the image in the 7th slide is showing a test in the B-1 stand at Stennis, not the Marshall S-IC stand. The B-1/B-2 conjoined stand has 2 test positions, whereas the S-IC stand has a single position. B-1/B-2 is also shown in the background of slide 8.

I don’t think it’s really fair to compare Verstappen and Hamilton the way you are. It’s a lot easier to back out of a pass when you know you’re closest rival in the championship is 8 places behind you ad with car damage. He’s knows he just needs to finish the race at that point to take the lead in the championship. If…

The only thing that makes the SLS Corestage “non-reusable” is the fact that it is not retrieved after use. So once it flies, the upper stage separates and continues to space while the Corestage (what you see being tested in the video) falls into the ocean wear it breaks apart and/or sinks to the bottom. So in fact,…

Sometime after college I moved from my hometown to a nearby metropolitan area. Not long after that I met a girl who lived not far from where I grew up. Turns out we grew up in the same city, attended the same middle school and high school at the same time (she was a year behind me), she worked at the grocery store…

I’ve had kind of a similar feeling, but with theme parks rather than video games. I grew up in Central Florida and we would often find ourselves at Disney and Universal Studios. As most are probably aware, the theme parks have various areas designed to mimic the streets of various cities and countries; New York, San…

The pure cost is one thing, but the time, space, equipment and experience to do what they did in the timeframe they did it is a little harder to quantify. Brilliant channel though!

Those logs are a difficulty spike within the difficulty spike that is the entire stage. 

From the short video, it doesn’t appear that this design really adds any ride characteristics that a “normal” coaster could achieve, but what it DOES do, which is interesting, is enable a single track to take on multiple different ride profiles depending on how the cart is oriented to the track at any given time.

True story: about two years ago I order a $10 Casio off Amazon as a stand-in while I researched smartwatches to replace the one lost at my cousin’s birthday party. Turns out, it solves all the complaints I had with the smartwatch; always-on display, 10-year battery, easy to read, zero lag, never have to worry about…

Meh, I’d be impressed if it were a double rim.

That stopped me in my tracks as well.

As soon as the video started I was thinking “this is going to be fucking stupid.”

Turns out you can actually get these for free with the purchase of any qualifying loaf of bread.

That might last a year or two, until humanity inevitably tears itself apart and must rebuild from scratch. Didn’t you see Fargo this week??

This is a better comment than this discussion deserves.

Phones are absolutely not “obsolete” after 6 months, that’s like saying a car is obsolete after a new model-year is released. The phone will still work perfectly fine and be only marginally worse than the one coming out in six months (sometimes even better). This again is the consumer propagating the status quo of…

Based on the current consumerist environment, yes you should expect it to suck. If you don’t like it, wait 6 months before you buy new devices.

I don’t know, based on your bullet points at the end, this sounds like a Steve Jobs wet dream.
