Seems like you could so build that wing stably without the new 2x2 angled plate. It's a nice new piece, and not at all "wonky" like some new pieces are... but still.

Fenster named this vessel, btw.

If comments would appear quicker and/or I were more confident in this site's and my nascent commenting abilities, there'd be no double post here, dear readers. Alas, neither, as we know, are true.

The moment I saw him fall, I knew he was Russian...

These LEGO pieces are not hard to find.

The Eagles never said "You can hiiiiiiiiiiiiide... your lyin' brain," Brent. It's eyes that lie.

Kind of off-topic, but I heard DirecTV is implementing a new channel guide. Rather than listing channels sequentially and simply scrolling up and down through them, the new guide will show the most-watched channels by an icon grid a few columns wide and you have to use the new DirecTV remote which has a thumbpad to…

I'm hoping for a system that's clearer,

Some of the microwave energy goes into the food and is converted into molecular kinetic energy (i.e. heat). The microwaves which pass into the food which are not absorbed by the food in this manner exit the food and dissipate, staying almost wholly inside the oven. There is no residual microwave radiation in anything…

Or cold spots ;)

Due to microwave ovens' heating principle being based on water molecule movement, it's for this reason that a microwave can't heat anything above 212F, or cook meat, or toast bread, etc.

I would agree with you if I understood it.

I'm going to automatically respect & listen to anyone who pronounces "square root" as square RUHT, electronic rapscallion or not.

I am not sure. The Tessarakonteres had a displacement of about 5000 tons, fully loaded with about 6000-7000 crew; it was powered by 4000 humans rowing oars. An aircraft carrier has a displacement of about 100000 tons. The F-414 generates a fair amount of force and horsepower. If it can generate 20x more force than…

The jet engine will provide more measurable speed/acceleration if the ship engines aren't engaged, less if they are engaged to full output (because you're needing more jet engine power to overcome the increasing water-caused drag at ship engine full output); either way, the increased speed of the ship will certainly…

Nice job Zach! (And it would be good to have a link to Zach's profile hint hint.)

Guys... there are a few two-headed creatures living in your testicles right this moment.

America was bombed by Japan in World War II... and American soil was occupied by Japan, too:

It's kinda Photosynth-y.

How is net tree growth adding more CO2 to "a closed loop" (which I assume you mean is the carbon cycle)? If earth's net biomass increases, that equals less CO2 in the atmosphere. The carbon in the carbon cycle is neither created or destroyed; it's either atmospheric, lithospheric, hydrospheric, or biospheric. Net new…
