"Frisco" is fine to locals and has a long history. Plenty of old hippies who have been here forever will still call it that. Like all big cities, locals will just say "the city" to people from the greater area (e.g. if you live in the East Bay or on the Peninsula), and the specific district they live in to other San Franciscans. The only name no local will ever use is "San Fran."
Plus, she's got 36 months to prepare for their birth. No problem.
yep, this is a sheet bend by a different name.
This isn't remotely a new idea. More than a hundred years ago there was a popular newspaper comic strip about the weird dreams you get from eating too much cheese. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_of_the_Rarebit_Fiend
They did. Not precisely a cheap-ass grade, but in order to make it "bulletproof," they had to use a harder stainless steel alloy that is less corrosion-resistant than common 304 (used for cutlery and kitchen sinks and so on). And it still isn't actually bulletproof.
I bet that cat peed in that box.
It just extends the paved area of the runway. If that area were unpaved, the jet engines would blast dirt and rocks and grass all over the place. The blast pad gives a buffer zone that the airplanes can't use for takeoff -- if they just extended the runway to reduce the blast debris, pilots would still taxi to the end, defeating the purpose.
Yes, that's correct. The faster you fly, the more force the airstream produces on your control surfaces, and the more strongly/quickly the airplane responds to a given input. At low speeds the air doesn't produce as much force, so it takes a large deflection to get the same response. Perhaps obviously, at zero airspeed, the controls don't do anything at all.
It's not. You are not allowed to taxi onto the blast pad. It's not considered part of the usable runway and the pavement there may not be as strong as the active surface. If the extra hundred feet of blast pad is going to make the difference between staying on the pavement or ending up in the dirt, you need to go around and try again.
You're right, that number is just called the runway number. The extra space at the end with the yellow chevrons is indeed a blast pad, which is a paved area used to reduce the amount of debris jet engines kick up when the plane throttles up for takeoff. A displaced threshold looks a bit similar but has white arrows on it instead, and is used to extend the runway for takeoffs but not for landings. Source: am pilot
#7 Yet another Bad Science Tumblr post. Mercury's 1900 MPa "tensile strength" is a measurement of how the liquid behaves under extremely strong and brief shocks (comparable to an explosion). It is not the same thing as measuring the yield strength of a solid metal. Frozen mercury is very brittle and so soft that you can cut it with a knife.
Once a little kid ran up to me on my electric motorcycle and asked if he could twist the throttle. I said "no, sorry...it's electric and it will just shoot forwards and I'll hit that car in front of me." (pointed at it). As I said that, he grabbed the throttle and cranked it to 100%. 😒Fortunately a little voice had told me to flip the killswitch off as I took my hand off to point, 1 second before he grabbed it. Little shit
No, it's so that when you bend the pipe, it keeps its round shape instead of collapsing. Maybe there is a heat transfer aspect too but that's not the main purpose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_bending
That's because it was very first commercial stuffed animal! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ithaca_Kitty
A screwdriver handle really isn't all that heavy. It's a lump of plastic with a short piece of steel rod inside.
One party is "let's keep everything exactly as it is" (serve the rich) and the other is "let's go back to 1850" (serve the whites). Neither is all that interested in helping the average person.
Not quite. This is pressing in a die. Drop forging is exactly what it sounds like:
"blond bombshell charcuterie?" ?
yes
if that's a screenshot from the new top gun, he has been digitally de-aged. he doesn't really look like that ?

#6 Goody Two-Shoes is the title character of a children's morality tale from 1765. She is a poor orphan who grows up with only one shoe.
it's from the movie The Rock (1996).
And, at the extreme ranges this gun can fire, accuracy will also depend on the local wind, temperature, air pressure, etc.
All math. You use maps and artillery calculators to aim the gun. Accuracy depends on how well you know your own location and the target's.
They probably could, but at those speeds there is going to be a tremendous amount of rotational inertia. It can't start or stop on a dime.
Flexo?? Where??
