From small “puffer jets” that use bleed air from the engine; they are located in the wings, nose and tail.

Bleed air reaction control system, without it there would be no way to have any control at low speeds, since the four engine nozzles are driven collectively by a chain: http://www.centennialofflight.net/essay/Theories…

Reaction Control exhaust vents in the tail linked to the vert stab.

The calories required for those irommans is mind boggling. I just did my first 70.3 and according to my watch, I burned ~3700. For a HALF ironman. I did just fine with Gus and loading up beforehand, but assuming he needed to take in double what I burned every single day, that’d almost necessitate going through the…

46 fucking days!!!! I used to think monsters weren’t real but clearly they are. Thanks for the nightmares Wes.

This fact does not Czech out.

I’m surprised they fired a missile while being that close to shore.

That seems bizarre. Unless, of course, Boston already has perfect infrastructure? Otherwise you are basically asking them not to do they things they supposed to be doing because you don’t like the excuse they are using for the thing they should be doing.

Can you share with select people?? That would be SUPER handy. One could have an annoyingly secure password and not have to deal with annoying transcription for guests.

Why are you dumb?

Boy, I miss having grownups in charge.

Creepy? Is that really the most apt word here? Sad, somber, sobering, historic, candid, humanizing, evocative, emotional, even polarizing, sure. But creepy?

It’s a bit unsettling. So much of the national narrative around Dick Cheney has centered on him as an unfeeling, heartless, Machiavellian archetype. Weird to see him and the rest of the leadership looking both so lost and so human. Kind of a reminder that, despite partisan discord and the political lenses we put these…

Yay, a non kneejerk reaction! Now if my friends could just stop sharing this stupid article.

I’ve checked mine, it had to ask about sharing... Nothing in mine was shared “by default”... The author is in some sort of delusion (or trying to rake in some views)

“all the networks you’ve previously connected to are shared by default”

Ok, to clear a little bit of this so it’s not a complete freak out. This WiFi Sense has been known about for a while now and has been in various tech preview builds. Plus Windows Phone. Second thing is that WiFi networks are not shared by default. I just checked this on my Surface Pro 3. The WiFi Sense service is…
