That was a major strain on a few relationships, some people are just terrible at directions.

I have one of those. They’re useful for measuring distances on topo maps where pretty much nothing is a straight line.

Knowing how well the typical Lemmite picks up on satire, I’m sure there are perfectly sober people on this platform who are baffled by this.

Shit, that’s some skill all right.

And presumably demoralising for whoever put the netting up.

Ah, of course. Although, they did mention coatings to protect the material, but it does sound like it will be more fragile than existing plastic.

This sounds borderline miraculous, and I have a feeling there’s bound to be a catch. I hope not, but I’m just too cynical.

That I don’t have an answer to.

I really don’t think it occurred to the Russians that Ukraine would pull something like this off.

It sure hadn’t occurred to anyone else.

You can see the wingtip of one plane, looks like a tu-95, drop to the ground following the explosion.

That airframe is toast.

Don’t forget soggy, vinegar drenched chips.

That too.

I absolutely love these.

We don’t know how many of those were in operational condition though.

There are clips floating around of Darth Vader before they dubbed his voice, it completely changes the character, and he just wouldn’t have been as intimidating without it.

Yes, it makes a huge difference.

You’re actually making a solid point there, the fact this dude’s daughter is trying to set him up with a friend, and the friend thinks this is an idea worth considering, is quite bizarre.

Not necessarily wrong, just bizarre.

This person probably considers a car driving past as they wait to cross the street to be a near miss.

Instrument flight and fly by wire are not the same thing.

There’s no way that person is an aerospace engineer.

I don’t believe you’re an aerospace engineer for one second.

If you were, you know fly by wire means there is no physical connection between the pilot’s controls and the control surfaces, it has nothing to do with whether or not the aircraft is being flown visually or on instruments.

People definitely have polished one of these to a mirror shine though. It looked awesome.
