Defrost is when you need to melt and remove ice off your window. This will most certainly require heat, and is more of a problem in the winter.

The lines on the back window would be defrosters, but here they just mean what you want to happen- defrosting or defogging. Fog is the inside of your windshield, the frost is the hard crap outside. This video works on the easy one, not the hard crappy one..

Breathe on some glass. That’s fog. Frost is actual ice that needs to be melted.

I imagine the thinking is “if I can make my *required* payment smaller, I can still pay back more than required and have a 60mo loan but the flexibility to fall back to an 84mo loan”.

Humans can’t run through steel beams. Open your eyes, steeple!

... the brush and floss are to get rid of soft, easily removable food bits that if left unchecked, leads to hardening into tartar, which only the dentist’s metal tools can remove.

Keven McAlester you say?

I can’t even get used to back up cameras - I still have to look over my shoulder. Side view cameras are only going to make me want to stick my head out the window.

I’ve taken to writing “DON’T THROW OUT” with a Sharpie on each of them.

i like all those reasons you posted about the mod3 as well. i don’t like going to gas stations either.

The infrastructure argument isn't an issue. Is it an issue for Hydrogen? Sure. Electricity is literally all around, look above your head, power lines are everywhere. You only need to build or license recharging stations.

This one is all about prime factors, and common multiples.

As someone who went through this competition, you do pick up a lot of tricks and patterns when you are practicing for this. That being said, these kids are really, really good and I don’t really know how to answer it either other than maybe start with the LCM (60) and guess and test?

Safety is one aspect, but the main reason is that this way is actually cheaper... Returning to the launch site would require a lot of extra fuel, you have to overcome a fair bit of momentum to ‘turn around’ like that. It’s much cheaper to move the landing site close to where a ‘normal’ rocket would splash down...

He managed to hit a planet with that margin for error?

I’ve composed a poem/insane person rant using all of Drew’s all caps words:

This is actually something I’m doing now that I’m job searching. I took different aspects of a job and gave them monetary values to help rank my current job vs. prospects.

As an example - I’m in a high-wall cube environment now. Making a lateral move would be $0, moving to an office would be about $2,000 and moving…

You are correct. And having seen the Sea Shadow up close and personal, it is like a personal yacht that is shaped like a F-117

If I remember correctly, in “Skunk Works” by Ben Rich, the Sea Shadow had a similar problem to a much larger degree. It was actually returning less radar than the ocean around it, making it look like a giant hole in the ocean on any radar operators screen. It was stealthier than the ocean!
