He didn’t want to do a B-24 because it would have taken 24 years instead.

Absolutely correct.  Please see: “Overton Window.”

“Might be a time for a re-watch...”

They had great characters on that show.

How about a favorite space non-battle?

I couldn’t care less, and I have no interest in paying for yet another streaming service. Want me to watch your shows? Make a non-exclusive deal with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and whoever else, and get my money that way.  I’m tired of this fracturing and balkanization and I can’t wait for most of these upstarts to fail…

Hmm, I wonder if I could use this in my ‘57 Chevy.

What’s odd to me is that this engine and nacelle had to have passed fan bladeout tests for cert, so the nacelle should have prevented debris from impacting the fuselage.  I mean, the nacelle *mostly* did its job, but I think this would still be considered a failure of that test.

Back in the late ‘90's I had a flight from Burbank, Ca. to Seattle, Wa. Normally this is a 2 hour flight, and this was before 9/11 so airport security wasn’t a big deal. It was a 45 minute drive to the airport and I got there an hour before departure. Should be no problem.

Is maybe, just hear me out here, they can license their content out in a non-exclusive manner to one or more of the existing streaming services?  Just a thought...

Rule 34X? If it exists, there is an appropriate XKCD comic for it.

*Every* plane is “aerodynamically unstable” at a certain angle of attack. The new engines change that AOA limit compared to older 737 models, but it isn’t inherently a problem. MCAS was a shortcut to prevent pilots from entering that flight condition without retraining them; and yes, the MCAS design and the decisions…

Balk?  At ethically made meat that doesn't require killing something to have?  Balking isn't even an option.  Sign me the fuck up.

5km is 15,000 feet, not 50,000.

Will his Secret Service retinue have to stay in the cell next to him, or will they have seats outside of it?

I don’t know why, but that leading image really reminds me of an old Quake III map - had to search for it, but it was called Runtfest.  Lots of fun.

Gaslight

The first F.E.A.R. game. That was a masterful example of using environments and building suspense. They’d make you expect a huge ambush battle, and then just keep... not doing it, so every turn got more and more tense. Then they’d do something like send ghost sounds through your radio, or toss a dead security guard at…

I picked it up last night and installed it to check it out for a half hour or so before bed. Suddenly it was three hours later...
