We're doomed, man!
Evan has spoken. I, having perhaps more interest in computeries (the industry that will enslave us all) than aeroplanies (the industry that will did died us all), was reminded of how bad Intel and, particularly, AMD sucked until they returned to the hands of engineers. I assume that, when enough mo...

Re: Colloquialisms
A final colloquialism: While they are related and can overlap: Preaching is generally more of delivering a religious message, while Pontificating is more of an arrogant tone of superiority in delivering knowledge. Yes, their etymology is similar, but the AI went with “What preachers do”. (Arguably,...

Re: Ban all beaches?

Re: Delta returns to Schiphol - maggots falling from overhead!
I'm surprised no one yet has commented on this part of the article: In 2022, agents at Washington Dulles Airport confiscated charred bat. In 2019, officers at O'Hare International Airport intercepted about 32 pounds of rat meat. They took my snack , ruined my BBQ plans and then fined me :cry: :cry:...

Nothing.
Absolutely nothing could go wrong. There's already at least one giant "saw" on top of all hell-o-choppers, adding one below shouldn't would give both symmetry and redundancy . Make it contra-rotating and you could remove the tail-saw .
