The term there is “Dyson Swarm.”

...and sell the manual in the US grumble grumble.

You can get magnesium wheels to burn, but it takes a LOT of effort. Someone tried to burn the original NeXT Cube chassis, which was also magnesium, and didn’t have much luck. Magnesium is a pretty decent conductor of heat, so a big chunk of it just soaks the heat and radiates it off. Like aluminum and copper, you…

C’mon, guy, wipe afterwards!

Code requirements and UL requirements, plus simple space. A NEMA-5-15R takes up a fair amount of space. I’m just glad when a wall wart like this is at least smart enough not to block both plugs!

Not the USAF, the United States Navy. The F4H* was built as a follow on to the F3H Demon, a somewhat successful fighter than flew with the F8U Crusader and F11F Tiger. The F3H wasn’t supersonic, the F4H was built explicitly to be in a triumph of power over aerodynamics, and it was built explicitly as a missle truck,…

I would edit that to “best know for hitting four home runs against the St. Louis Cardinals” and then defend it to death because it’s a fact!

The ABM treaty, but we pulled out of that in 2002. So, nothing now.

Once in the atmosphere, if they’re not the same density, they’ll fall at a different rate. They’re easy to spot then, but then again, you’re 30 or less seconds away from detonation at that point. Spotting them before is much harder, esp. if the decoys and the warhead are maneuvering.

Sprint was covered with the same sort of material that the Apollo CM had on the heat shield. Nothing else could handle that sort of heating at the time, and by handling we mean ‘by ablating away and taking the heat with it.’ But the missile only had to not melt for 15 seconds....

Those are fins, and they’re required for stability.

I remember that game. I remember it being surprisingly fun, but lord, that was a long time ago. Watching the boat slowly tilt as you’re trying to get out? Nice mechanic.

I want to know how he got vaseline onto that whiffle ball!

In the “all hail the 6-12 breaking ball era, it’s amazing to see a horizontal break like that. That’s a “walk back to the dugout muttering ‘ya gotta be fucking kidding me!’”pitch.

Clearly, he needs a Hawk Harrelson alarm clock.

That doesn’t matter. They took the lead in the top of the 6th, the “home” team would also need to get three outs in the bottom of the 6th to make it an official inning. When they called the game, it rolled back to the last completed inning. All of that is normal.

Umm, pardon me sir, but your tires are on the wrong side of the motorcycle....

It’s because some people have to always be in power, and on an airplane, they’re not. They resort to what they used to get in power - aggression. The worst are middle managers who are angry that their bosses get to fly in first, and the worker who’s always flying got upgraded, but they’re stuck in the back. 

Too much edit abuse, but I’ll give you props, indeed, Mad Props, for standing up and admitting you were wrong. We all have days when we cannot brain.
