My 10 y/o son has built a few different space-related LEGO kits lately (including a Curiosity Mars Rover) and wants to display them in his room. I was thinking of printing a wall poster (this one) as a backdrop to a shelf I'll build to put them on. Any suggestions for a reliable source for...

Hot Tin Roof, maybe?

I'm reviving this one ALMOST a year later... My son and I built a basic gaming desktop for his Christmas last year. He just saved up enough to add a real graphics card (ASUS 4060), which we did last night. He went from ~80fps to 500+fps on Fortnite right after we installed it last night. Then...

We flew into Loveland with a RV-10 a few years ago and tried to fish around Poudre River area. Unfortunately, they had a fluke late season (end of June) high elevation snow storm the week before and it all melted as we got there and blew all the rivers out. The Red Feather Lakes are north of...

Woohoo! First in the thread after Diz. Question: Is 'camping under the wing' still the standard arrangement for folks? I know Ted's crew brings their own rolling Holiday Inn Express, but are other folks still pitching tents or are there new-fangled arrangements in place?

The first time I flew into MDW (the busiest Class 'C' that I had flown into at that time, despite doing all my initial training at a smaller Class 'C' (MLI)), I was so focused on sounding like I 'belong' there, that after my initial call up, the controller actually had to tell ME to slow down...

It looks like the hoses you have are 'inverted'. The big end looks like the 'old style' propane tank connection (threads are on the inside of the fitting instead of outside) and the other end would attach to a burner/control valve/regulator/etc.

Maybe that was the point? I haven't watched it, but having seen several comments here, and after reading the books that Pacific was based on, I think the "barely got to know the guy before he was gone" was a common sensation for those that served during that time period. Maybe the show makers...

Interesting. We looked at that scenario for our trip: ATL-DUB-ATL with a separate RT DUB-LHR-DUB in the middle, but the math didn't work. I think us flying directly out of ATL, while extremely convenient for not having a connection, also kills us on getting discounts that may come from flying...

We booked directly through Delta for ATL-DUB and LHR-ATL for this summer, but will book something else for the DUB-LHR flight.

I saw something not too long ago where they were using long(er) range drones for delivery of medical supplies to remote areas of the bush of Africa. They were much larger units and used a catapult launch and a catch net for controlled crash retrieval, IIRC. That is a use case that makes sense...

I'm working on a new DC design in the DFW metro area. During a recent design review, someone from senior leadership asked "Hypothetically, if we were to do drone delivery from here, where would we land them and do the loading, etc.?" So the physical layout folks are now looking at earmarking...

Looks fine here. Galaxy Tab S7 with Chrome.

I was exiting the parking deck from the airport recently late-ish on a Friday night and the pay-as-you-exit booths were a mess. Folks were really struggling with the apparently overly complicated "Insert card now" voice prompts. Eventually, I got up to do my part, though I had already paid via...

We had a tradeshow in town this week. At our company-hosted event in midtown one evening, the out-of-towners were sharing their newly acquired stories of traveling among the ATL-iens. I lost count of how many times I said "Welcome to Atlanta." I also lost count of how many times I heard someone...

The books that the 'Pacific' series was based on referenced similar scenarios a few times. Guy shows up in fresh dungarees and less than 24 hours later they find him face down in the coral field with a gun that was never fired. What was interesting was following the mindset of the ones that...

Nice! My 12 y/o got up to the 30-40 digit range I think. Yet he can't remember to turn of the dadgum light when he leaves a room.

Same here. I'm really disappointed to hear that MotA is this bad. I haven't signed up to watch it but had high hopes based on Band of Brothers and (to a lesser degree) Pacific. I listened to the two autobiographies that Pacific was based on and they actually intertwined the stories fairly well...

Thanks all for the responses. Now if we can just get schedules to align to get down to see the Braves before ST is over.

If we can find some time between baseball and soccer, my wife and I would like to try to fly down to see some spring training baseball. Looking at potentially making a game or two in Tampa/Venice area. Any suggestions for where to (GA) fly into that we can easily snag a rental car?
