I think maybe you've misunderstood what the common knowledge said. Turbulence hasn't ripped an airplane apart at altitude, so yea turbulence alone hasn't caused a crash. But anything near terrain is plenty risky (mountain wa

It's not lost on me that those are the opposite of software engineering! >One drawback I been told many times is that you need a lot of tools and they are not cheap... There's truth to that. You will find no shortage of people

The things I like about woodworking: * It's tangible. I can put in a couple of hours of work and then step back and see exactly what's been accomplished. * The techniques are hundreds/thousands of years old. New tools come a

The page gives very little context. Can someone explain what this is? Is this really trying to catalog every arewe...yet website in existence? Why would you want to do that? What makes that interesting?

He left the Senate in 2009 when he became vice president. He left the VP office in 2016 after Obama's second term ended. He was private citizen when this was happening. Powerful person? Sure. An agent of the government? No.

It should please you to hear that the Biden team was not the government at the time.

I've used AWS Step Functions extensively over the past several years and give me code every day of the week over the Stepfunctions json config. Once you get beyond a few simple steps, it gets very hard to look at the config and underst

I've made worse landings with a CFI sitting next to me in the cockpit when I was starting out. Landed a bit long but otherwise looked like a soft touchdown and a straight roll. Very impressive!

It’s curious that you pit Joe Rogan singularly against “the media”. Joe Rogan has owned up to mistakes but the entirety of “the media” never has? Nobody in the media has ever owned up to a mistake? Joe Rogan is not a member of the media? Wh

The design is dumb but you’re really stretching. I don’t need to see the entire rear of the car to know which way the blinker is indicating. If I did then that would mean 99% of the cars on the road, which have no arrow at all, would suffer

Depends. Can be very dangerous when near the ground on takeoff or landing. Heavier, slower aircraft make stronger turbulence. You especially don’t want to be a smaller aircraft behind a larger one. The vortices sink so if you’re following a

While technically correct, this assertion has quite the positive Amazon spin on it. They are required by federal law to provide health insurance to employees who work 30 hours or more.

No, that's not quite what it is. You can have an unusually rapid, but regular (i.e. normal sinus) rhythm and that's called tachycardia. During tachycardia, the electrical impulses that control the muscles of your heart fire in the

I'm sorry about your friend. I hope this isn't insensitive, but could you elaborate any more on what happened? I'm an a-fib sufferer with a pool so I'm quite curious.

You’d have to find such a person first. From the article, there were a unique set of circumstances that doctors don’t even truly understand that led to his blood having these properties.
