You know, I just watched the video at the ‘I used to fuck guys like you in prison” link, and the fighting is so much less shitty than in most of the movies I’ve seen lately, where nobody ever, ever keeps their hands up and they all wildly telegraph their next blow.

Was this actually in a fucking episode, or was the crew just goofing that day!?

Aren’t these the same people who want a border fence? How about we just don’t tell them who gets fenced in?

Here in Oregon they NEED that extra gas pedal on the passenger side. Hell, put a gas pedal for every legal seat, but brakes only for the driver. That way, at least there’s a chance that someone in the car won’t be terrified to push that forbidden right-side pedal.

Luke Russert gets called out for having a career based purely on nepotism. Also, I’m having trouble imagining any non-nepotistic route into acting for Ms. Stewart.

I bet they get all the chicks.

Nude beach on the KY sea?

Well, that’s a wierd fucking fetish. Isn’t it usually feet or something? Maybe used underwear if you’re really lucky?

Yeah, I totally agree with you about the turbojets, though all early jets sucked in one way or another, and all sucked down fuel at an unbelievable rate.

trucking companies are increasingly adopting things like seat heights and automatic transmissions to make driving physically less fatiguing and difficult for smaller people.

Nope, the Cessna manual. Or maybe the structures manual? Either way, I was pretty amused.

Have fun bailing out!

Apparently, those things have such a high roll rate that you have roll more than 360 degrees to time it. Something like 400 degrees/second.

Apparently Ed Heinemann hated that avionics bulge behind the cockpit (he didn’t like the sugar scoop on the jet exhaust either, but they didn’t have time or money to figure out an alternative to that one).

The jackscrew thing—are you sure that it wasn’t a case of the elevator trim freezing? Because usually a jackscrew mechanism is used to trim all-flying tails on transsonic aircraft, whicle the actual control surfaces are moved by conventional hydraulic actuators. If the trim was stuck in cruise position, it might make…

So, I’m in school to be an aircraft mechanic, and one of my assignments last year was to come up with a list of places that a Cessna 150 should be checked for corrosion. So first thing I do is pull the maintenance manual online, and do a keyword search on corrosion. Second hit I get tells me to inspect the galley and…

YES!!

I don’t think either of them pushed the technology past what it would support. The H0-229 was built of plywood over a tubular steel frame like a piper cub (center section) and cantilever wooden wings, and the aerodynamics were pretty well proven (unlike a certain American company with a hardon for flying wings,…

Might still be a problem to produce all those compound curves in aluminum though. A composite version might make more sense, but could never be as glorious.
