I sounds like an update disabled fast charging in order to avoid the traditional Samsung exploding batteries. What? Nobody warned you?

I have converted two of my printers to Klipper and I can't see ever going back... Besides the web connection with mainsail and the extra speed, the convenience of doing it all from one chair makes it fun and easy. Klipper and Octoprint are basically servers that take over the complex math of...

Once upon a time, After scraping the right wingtip on the runway and then making the hardest landing I've ever experienced, the Southwest flight attendant announced "We've HIT Town!" There was a lot of hootin and hollerin from the passengers, but I don't remember anyone complaining... Of...

TOL=Takeoff and land? I still don't know what it means...

I run 25s and 32s at 80 psi. Seems to be a decent ride...

What is "TOL?"

My wife's car is black and is garaged, so it still looks good after 15 years. It gets washed whenever it looks dirty.

I swapped the 40 tooth chainwheel for a 42 tooth on my 1X11 and the top gear is slightly higher, but more importantly, my cruising gears are more suited to fine adjustment for conditions. I can choose between three or four comfortable ratios.

I went out of my way on a trip to the Grand Canyon to fly over one of the very last Airway beacons. It was in Western Arizona, somewhere in the mountains. It disappeared from the Sectional chart sometime in the early '80s.

Yep. I once had a s̶t̶u̶d̶e̶n̶t learner experience an engine failure at his destination on one of his solo cross country flights. We flew a different airplane to his location and he continued his flight back to home base the next day in that airplane. I reviewed his planning and the...

Really? That's a new one to me. I have heard some really hilarious explanations from "experienced" instructors. I always enjoy explaining how the old mechanical TACAN worked. The one on the field at Campbell Army Airfield made lots of chain/gear noise and it was a good segue into the...

In the helicopter world, we call this "Blade tape." It helps slow down leading edge erosion in sandy conditions and makes a cool whistling sound when it peels off...

A radio call that will immediately cause anyone in the pattern to give you an airport advisory...

The Ovation Guitar company was a dba for KMCMusicorp, which itself was a subsidiary of Kaman Aircraft.

There were several videos of people reacting to the boom(s). Some of those folks looked like they were experiencing the end of the world and freaked out. Being a child of the '50s-'60s, I would have recognized it immediately...

The TV talking heads were actually using the word "hypoxia" after the tapes from the intercept stated the pilot was unresponsive.

The forward transmission shows more IR than the engines with the latest IR suppression system on the F. There are heat absorbing panels over the cooling air exhausts. We had thermal blankets inside the forward pylon for a while, but it got so hot, it baked everything plastic, like swashplate...

Ever take a shower with the EAPS fans after it rained? ;)

That is three times what I paid for mine and is completely unaffordable, but it sure is nice!

Also, in a Chinook, you need to walk straight back a few yards when exiting from the ramp. Those 5,000 horsepower heat pipes will warm you right up if you get too close...
