I believe the intent of having the slightly wrong words give a large difference in location was to make it obvious that a slightly wrong location string is wrong. If you know you're somewhere in Virginia, and it says England, they disp

Lifeboats are designed to be difficult to capsize (totally enclosed with enough floatation to stay above water even if flooded).

If you're moving at medium altitude, you're moving relatively slower (in angular change) for the same airspeed, so you don't need to fly as slow, and you don't need a low stall speed. You just need the ability to carry e

Ok, what does your low RCS (that'd be stealth) A-10 look like? Let's put it at medium altitude so that we don't have to try to armor it against manpads. Then we can probably make it single engine, so we can get a bit cheaper

I'd say the first two, but not heat signature. However, it's also lacking in sensors. As in, it has to operate low and slow in the daylight, because the pilot can't see well enough to operate any other time. The officially su

The F-111 was always useful in the role that the USAF wanted it for: light bomber. It's the USN role that it failed miserably at. And the experience gained from the F-111 directly fed into the F-14. The F-35 program hasn't cost ov

Yes, wait until we have an opponent which requires advanced fighter jets, then order development to start. Only will take 2 decades to reach production. And hey, maybe we won't need them by the time it reaches production!

I'm logged into my Google account, and it shows a certain IP address as where I'm logged in from. Checking ipconfig shows the same IP address as being the computer I'm on. The proxy will of course show it as being the actual

I think you'd be surprised. Most NIPR computers just use a regular proxy server for internet access. But example: 214 /8 is a DoD owned block, and "weather.af.mil" is on that block, and both externally and internally rea

Solar shingles aren't nearly as stupid as solar roadways. We already put solar panels on roofs. This just integrates it into the waterproofing layer of the roof, instead of sitting on top. Solar roadways have the problem of: you need t

Not with an isp measured in the thousands of seconds. This is greater than earth escape velocity. Past the earth, it'll diffuse enough to not be a significant issue.

Most EV internal chargers are setup only for rectification. However, there's some slightly more expensive designs that would let it also act as an inverter. I believe this is what's spec'd for the Cybertruck.

Most airliners have the engines under the wings (and therefore under the CG). Thus, most airliners will pitch up when thrust is applied. The 737 Max has a higher thrust line (which means closer to the CG) than prior 737s. The nose will pitc

SQL isn't as portable as people would like. Especially when you're trying to stay high performance as you're dealing with millions of customers. Once you start building for a specific SQL server, it hard to switch to another

I left a battery on the charger for too long and it became a paperweight. This kinda soured me on electric lawn equipment for a while.

It doesn't in SF, because the problem there is that they can't reasonably build anything. Whether it's a house or an apartment building, it's not really getting built. And building a new house to replace an existing hous

Frequently, even on places that don't have "rent control", there's still limits on how fast landlords can jack up the price on a tenant in the place, but that doesn't apply to new tenants. So if you can only raise t

Yeah, the RN screwed up their requirements such that the new UK carriers aren't actually going to be built for CATOBAR, even though they're supposed to be equipped for, but not with, the facilities to do so. The F-35B is obviously

Yes, the UK had all of those 4 different aircraft. But the F-35 is primarily a US aircraft, designed primarily for US purposes, and only bought by other nations as fitting their purposes close enough. The F-35B fits UK RN FAA requirements c

The idea of having one aircraft be able to become any of the other variants isn't actually that great. Air Force planes don't operate from carriers, and Navy planes don't need to operate from very small fields. The common bit

Mutually assured destruction is not a policy. The actual US policy is assured destruction: use WMDs on us and we will destroy you, and e will posture or things to be able to assure that we can.

Freezing rain usually occurs when you have an inversion aloft, resulting in above freezing temperatures over sub freezing temps, along with precipitation. The snow that falls melts, then chills down as it goes through the cold near surface

The problem with reading it as a story not about Scott is that there's no reason to use his professional name except to cause him problems.
