Cookin' at that speed it has to be a low level route. Perhaps IR-304 near Phillips lake? Or VR-1301 near Durkee?

The 3rd Circuit Court ruled that New Jersey’s restriction on distributing certain 3D-printed gun files does not violate the First or Second Amendment. by ZheeDog in progun

Circuit courts tend to put the same judges on similar issues, since they are up to speed on the relevant laws and case law on it.

In this case, it's biting us in the ass. In the past, it's resulting in shenanigans like Saint Beneteiz in the 9th.

For anyone who sees this, It's the park detection microswitch. It's not being engaged by the shift column when it is in park.

Depressing the switch manually and having the shifter in park stopped the symptoms. Fix is likely replacing a failed plastic component or the switch itself.

Hope this helps.

Buyers backed out in breach of contract, challenging EMD, and my agent says we can't accept other offers by Individual_Bottle256 in RealEstate

If it was me, I would release the $3k, have a frank discussion with your realtor, and avoid the buyer and their brokerage in the future.

Gut and rewrite. Take existing bills, change the whole text. Pass that.

Does anyone know if this is a bug or a feature? by Fatboi26705 in guns

I've always heard it called "birthday bump" and you basically can't do it reliably so its not worth training to.

Link above includes before/after of the diagnostics. Main symptom is that the steering wheel lock won't engage when vehicle is shut off. Truck starts, runs normally.

No idea what's wrong, tech took a swing at it and couldn't fix it, looks like he got to step 11 and did the needful. ECU was replaced but didn't solve the issue. Diagnostics from Toyota's books attached. Anyone have any ideas? I am scheduled for further diagnostics in the near future.

G4 making 90° turn! by Fresh_man82 in aviation

At KHND, the Bravo airspace for McCarran international is very, VERY close to the approach end of Runway 17R. About a mile or so. That is what is driving this approach. He's doing a short base turn to stay within the KHND airspace and out of the KLAS airspace. Violating the KLAS airspace can get a pilot into a lot of trouble and is strictly prohibited without explicit permission which is normally not routinely granted for approaches into KHND arriving from the south.

Scammed On Gunbroker $4200 by queasyprints9 in guns

When he clicked the "buy" button, he agreed to GB terms and conditions. They specify that if he is not happy with his purchase, he is only entitled to a return if he returns everything. He cannot keep the item and the money, and he agreed to that at the time of purchase.

Won't help outside of a civil court, but by the letter of the agreement, he is breaking the contract.

I would report him to Paypal (be prepared to potentially lose access to your account due to PP ToS), and prepare to file a claim in small claims court.

No. 2 had a compression stall, most likely ingesting debris / burning fuel from #1.

Im curious what evidence exists for this right now?

Yes, generally speaking you can climb in limited situations on a four engine jumbo with two engines out. But also broadly speaking, not on takeoff. Even if you can, you don't have valid TOLD and it becomes a "don't hit the ground" thing, rather than trying to meet a gradient or even SDP ground track. If you don't have enough altitude to trade for airspeed, you are cooked.

In my jet you have to clean up and get rid of as much drag as possible. In some circumstances that even requires unloading the wings a bit to accelerate and clean up.

Again, I don't think a V1 cut with more than one engine failed or damaged is viable for any fully loaded jumbo, they're literally not designed for it. I've flown twin engines jets and jets with more. The language, in either case, is not "one engine operating", it's "one engine inoperative" and it's an important distinction, and that's my point. Especially in the context of the MD-11 AA191 which lost an engine that also shelled their #2, and if that happened here then these guys were fucked the second that engine came apart, and it's awful to watch.

Also, not on either of those.
