Sailplanes and hang gliders are very different beasts. It’s way more than just a fiberglass skin.

How about a tripod and some planning?

I bearly understand your concern.

I had the good fortune to do a ride-along with HPD Air Support. I can certify that those guys are awesome. Part of our flight was practicing “maneuvers” and low-level flight over a field was included. Although he said they could do it and we practiced running down bad guys in a farmer’s field, I never thought I would…

I made the switch nearly three years ago. I went cold-turkey and made a permanent change. The only time I can sit down is when I’m at lunch.

Worst music ever.

Any shifts in mass would have to be massive (sorry) to have any effect other than a small bump in the orbit. Even so, the satellites are constantly tracked by ground stations and their positional data is updated regularly.

I had a similar conversation with a cop. He was raving about the cop-spec Charger and how fast it was. I didn’t go into how my little WRX caught and passed an R/T Charger on the track just a few weeks before. Let him live the dream.

I wouldn’t know. I never watched the show....

For the purpose of delivering a bomb, one wouldn’t need to use a helicopter or multirotor, an airplane would work just fine. Planes are much easier to fly.

That kind of technology has been around since the ‘60s. The term used back then was r/c (remote control). The difference now is the power source, the first-person view tech, and the ability to program an accurate flight path using GPS.

Here’s where to see them in their nest, along with their buddies, the AWACS and B-1.:

Avoid wearing polyester long-sleeved shirts when working on cars. Polyester melts when it gets too hot and the melted fabric can cause severe burns when the fabric literally melts into your skin. Not fun.

It’s because the “writers” for Sploid don’t understand that words have specific meanings; assume their audience doesn’t understand that words have specific meanings; or just don’t give a damn and use the flashiest word they can find for click bait headlines.

Only about earthquakes.

I am embarrassed to say I got my truck stuck in just a few inches of mud. I was attending a Scouting event and had to park in a nearby field. We were instructed to turn right off the gravel drive, pass through the swale and park in the grass on the other side. I didn’t go far enough forward and left my rear wheels in…

Ah, it was short-lived. The police took the pliers as evidence. They hoped to get prints off of them.

I usually leave my old truck unlocked since it would cost more to replace the glass than the truck is worth. Someone hopped into it one night, realized there wasn’t a radio to steal, rummaged through the glovebox, then decided that there was nothing worth taking and left. The only reason I know he was there is the…

You could go to Galveston and dodge some pelicans. Just don’t get caught on video.

We were visiting Yellowstone National Park in when we spotted an older couple who had managed to lock themselves out of their late-’80s Suburban. They were asking anyone with a Chevy or GMC key to try it on the driver’s door. It took four or five tries, but someone’s key finally unlocked the door. It was like watching…
