Loving Tessa Thompson’s 80s style outfit. Very cool.

Does it have Admiral Ackbar Cereal? Your tongues can’t repel flavour of that magnitude!

On the subject of Pocket WiFi devices.

From all the wet farts...

Oh who cares, we’ve got Danson as an immortal bartender. All is right in the afterworld.

You mixed up TAS and GS a bit.

This! Exactly this!

Speed limit rules vary by country. Below 10000 feet the speed limit is typically 250 knots. However the US is much more strict on this speed limit than most other places, as in ATC won’t waive the limit just for traffic flow. If you fly in Europe or Asia they’ll routinely clear you for high speed below 10000 if that

Indeed, but True Airspeed doesn’t really vary that much unless you start flying quite low for a jet airliner.

More like 8-9 seconds. 8 nautical miles a minute is a good rule of thumb for airliners.

Most tanks have turrets, too, although there are exceptions like the Stridsvagn, which had its gun stuck in place but used hydraulic suspension to move it up or down. But despite the lack of a traditional turret, it still meets the “tank” definition because of its heavy armor, big gun, tank treads, and frankly

One rule of thumb is that tanks have turrets and tank destroyers do not. But it is only a rule of thumb. The Swedish S Tank is a notable exception.**

While I understand that historical accuracy isn’t quite the aim of shows like this one or GoT, I still find it a bit cringeworthy when sailboats act like powerboats.

Haha. But yes, I agree.

The Great Suspender is a neat solution. It automatically suspends Chrome tabs given certain criteria, and you can whitelist or otherwise configure.

Apollo IB and V were more than adequate for space station construction and crew transport. A cheaper and safer method of hurling stuff into orbit than the Shuttle.

That joke never gets old... And isn’t that a sad reflection on the present...
