Interesting. Is it be actively discussed in serious scientific circles by people who want to implement humans as batteries?

It isn't contrails. There have been recent conversations about spraying things into the atmosphere in order to lower the temperature of the earth to control climate change. Given that we don't have the sophistication of the science to understand how to control it and the cost of getting it...

I flew out of LA on Sunday. Unusually crappy weather in the area on Sat/Sunday. Predicted snow level was between 3500 and 5500, not sure what the actual was. I remember looking up at the San Gabriel mountains north of Ontario on Saturday afternoon thinking it was not a day to fly. Sad

If you're talking about military, that's a little different because military exercises aren't restricted by state law. But still if you were reckless or careless, you would expect ucmj proceedings. I don't believe any civilians operate at the same standards.

*shrug* Yes. And lucky.

Then Alec was an idiot for not understand there are no dummy guns. Is ignorance of being reckless an excuse for it? That's the standard you're claiming.

You're correct, I left out the negligent or reckless action. Was there a non-reckless way for Baldwin to have checked the camera angle without pointing a functional firearm at a person? Was it reckless for him to have pointed it at a person and pulled trigger even if he believed it was blanks...

Responsibility doesn't play into a manslaughter charge. By definition, the death was accidental and Baldwin was complicit in causing it. If I'm working in the shop and the head of my Thor hammer comes off and kills someone, the death is my fault. Anything else is just an argument for...

Pretty sure the engine pilots have been waiting for is free, pushes the airplane close to the sound barrier, never breaks, and doesn't require gas. Or is that just me?

Sub 100? Looks a lot like this.

Having posted the meme that started the puns, I’m feeling like I crushed it.

SBOH really doesn’t mean anything other than an IRAN was done. You already own the airplane. Take a look. Have a mechanic pull a cylinder if you want to see the cams. After that, change the oil and fly it, monitor the oil sample and filter. Flying it 100 hours with positive oil sample...

And the cleanest it will be until they start the engine again. That's an expensive oops

I think if my toolbox could only have two torque wrenches, I'd get a bigger toolbox. You need ft-lbs and in-lbs in multiple sizes. You don't want to use one for the other. Otherwise, I've always used micrometer wrenches, but I could be convinced to change if there was a reason.
