Just because it’s not forbidden to post US politics somewhere does not mean you have to flood the place with it.

  • Two hunters walk in the woods when one of them just falls over, apparently dead. His friend calls the emergency services.

    Hunter: Help! my friend just fell over and died in the middle of the forest, what do I do?

    Emergency operator: Calm down sir. First you have to make sure that he is actually dead.

    A gunshot is heard.

    Hunter: Ok, now what?





  • Your wings would fall off. There is almost no material where they should be the strongest because there is a giant hole in it.

    The center of gravity has to be forward of the side props or you’ll have a hard time balancing it. This means the mass of fuel/battery, engine and payload have to be around there.

    You’ve seen how big the props are on toy drones, helicopters, or the V-22 compared to the rest of the thing? They need to be that big to provide enough lift.









  • I’m not a picky eater. The 5 second rule is replaced with “if I get it before the dog does” and I’ll eat just about everything except olives.

    Having spent time with several picky eaters it’s generally because they have through trial and error found out that they for some reason (texture being as common as flavour) don’t like most foods and are quite good at predicting what they will like.

    In case of flavour being the reason it’s usually because they find some hint of a taste that you and I can detect if we think about it but it becomes front and center of the experience for them.
