  1. Another day, another topic ignored. ;)

      So far, it's done a good job of removing the urge to see what new things have transpired. Some topics start out fun, and I'm engaged, but then turn sideways, and I don't want to be engaged any further.

  3. Snow day used to mean building snow forts and playing with friends. Now it's shoveling for 4 hours, trying not to get a heart attack.

      I don't mind driving in the snow. What I don't like is other people driving in the snow. ;)

      Does the solder wick nicely onto at least part of the soldering iron tip?

      Why not something just slightly less modern, such as Mercedes, or Lexus.

  8. Made a new page: When Does a New Decade Start?

      The '80's is obviously 1980 to 1989. That is a 10 year span, which one could call a decade - but you could also call 1984-1993 a decade.

      So, we're not in the "tens" anymore... but we're still in the decade that includes 2011 to 2020 - the AD years start at 1 - the year before that was 1 BC, not 0. The first decade in AD was 1-10, not 0-9.

  10. Boeing made the decision to use only 1 sensor for MCAS. A marketing decision. Because using 2 sensors would have raised the importance of the system enough to have to recertify and require Level D training. Expensive simulator time. Further more, MCAS forces the nose down for 10 seconds, then allows 5 seconds for "recovery" before it starts again.

  15. But don't worry folks, big companies who have spent millions of dollars lobbying to be able to block, slowdown, or prioritize any web traffic, are assuring their customers that they do not intend to block, slowdown, or prioritize any web traffic. Also, the shark lobby says they don't intend to eat people even though they spent millions lobbying to have their mouths reclassified as sleeping bags.

      Exactly - I haven't replied elsewhere, but that's what I would have said, minus the sharks and sleeping bags.
