If I'm in the air and I have a LiPo battery on fire, I'm going to find a way to remove it. Again, using your shirt or anything else as protection to grab onto it for 5 seconds or less to get it out the door is much more preferable than dying in fire/smoke filled aircraft. Hopefully if the LiPo...

That would be my suggestion. Plug off the skimmers and pressurize the piping to listen for leaks (pump off). Should be able to hear leaks with 15-20psi. Regarding freezing in DFW, it's generally easy enough to drain plumbing lines if needed in an emergency. Most of the freeze points in a...

I believe you're conflating the term "Balls Out" with "Balls to the Wall" even though they mean the same thing. Running "Balls Out" was for steam engines in general, and specifically referenced the "fly ball" engine governor. Gardner fly-ball governors where fairly popular (Gardner company is...

Well the benefit to being in a small, unpressurized aircraft is that the doors are generally fairly easy to open in-flight. So if I have a battery pack smoldering/catching fire, that thing is getting tossed out a window or through the open door (opened enough to shove it out). Wrap your hand...

PCM/Bitstream only applies if he is using the optical audio port on both the TV and connected to an optical audio input (likely input assignable). However, I would skip the optical audio on pretty much anything modern because it is limited in stream rate and generally doesn't support the latest...

I would move the HDMI1 (arc enabled) to your TV input/output on the AVR. Move the Roku to a Media/Streaming HDMI port. HDMI1 (with ARC) will carry the audio signal to the receiver. Your coax will not attach anywhere but on the television, and utilizes the TV Tuner inside the television...

Pretty much what I figured. The depletion/depreciation of wells that is applicable to all mining industries is being called an oil&gas "subsidy". It's not specific to oil & gas extraction at all, but it does work as a tax credit (reduction in taxable income) just like accelerated depreciation on...

Just for reference, what O&G subsidies are we talking about?

Not sure that having restricted RPMS and/or density altitude throttle linkages reduces the complexity of operation over a turbo. Turbo-normalized engines don't really need any input from the pilot (aside from fuel mixture control for non-FADEC applications). Full rated power up until the...

Brawndo's got what plants crave.

That anything like Eastbound and Down?

I'm not aware of any destroyed cities from it though. They evacuated a 20 or 30km radius when it first occurred, but I don't recall that being pervasive after the reactors were back under control. Probably still some fishing/agricultural restrictions in areas where they are releasing...

Chernobyl is about the only incident that destroyed a city. Fukushima caused temporary displacement, but didn't destroy anything officially (doesn't mean it wasn't near critical after the tsunami/earthquakes). There are no other widespread nuclear power incidents that destroyed cities. It...

They honestly need to relabel North Dakota to Texas as just Plains states. They aren't really "Western", they aren't really Mid-Western (like WI/MN/IL).

France and other European countries run modern nuclear power and haven't "destroyed" any cities. France runs over 50 nuclear reactors. It can be done, and done safely especially with modern designs that make core meltdown an *almost* impossibility. This isn't Chernobyl/3-Mile island. The...

Well, at least in the case of the F-100, the 396 probably doubled the amount of horsepower that was in that truck to begin with. Although I would have to go ahead and one-up it to the Ford 427/428 motors if we're just throwing silly power at a truck that was designed around an I-6 or small V8...

Coyote swap and watch GM fanboys' heads explode, lol.

Exactly my thought. I have made my own mounts a time or two in order to create a custom solution for something that didn't have an existing kit.

Nope, has to do with the weather strip design (frameless glass) and not having it deform causing wind noise. My sister had a 2010 GT, and my father still owns a 2014 GT. I've driven numerous Mustang variants from 2010+ as rentals and they all do it. You do have to be careful if you own one of...

Not sure on the Neutered part, but Donatello was always my favorite because he was smart/level-headed. Leonardo was kill-joy. Michelangelo was a class clown. Rafael was a hot head.
