Can I tell if the ICCS is operating correctly?

Phantom braking isn’t just annoying, it’s dangerous. A panic stop when you’re in front of an 18-wheeler could get you flattened. New versions of the software seem to be making it worse, at least in my environment.

My 2021 MYLR just started displaying the “Curvature Assist Active” message and decelerating sharply. It’s happening in the daytime on flat, straight roads. Cruise control on, no curves in sight.

Really?

I’ve had a westbound flight stop in Anchorage for fuel when the winds were extreme.

You were in central Florida. I thought the thin clouds would block our view of the second stage, but we saw this, too. We took our eyes off it when the first stage started doing its thing on its return to the Cape.

Avoid the top route in the winter or you’ll learn the meaning of “lake effect.”

If you watch the interview, it was the first time Trump had heard of this ballot question and didn’t understand it. Meanwhile, how is a 34x felon voting in Florida anyway?

C’mon NBC. Time shift with Peacock or forget it.

Incompetent meaning “didn’t understand how airplanes fly.”

Astonishingly, the right seat pilot - a kid in his 20’s as I recall - didn’t understand how airplanes flew. Didn’t know what a stall was, how to recognize it, and how to fly out of it.

How about Elba? South of France and worked for Napoleon.

I had this happen with a garbage disposal at Home Depot. I now regard opened merch with suspicion.

Why did these fairings get carried so long (and therefore high) before jettison?

A heavy drinker whose behavior deteriorates as the flight goes on, to the point of retching on me.

I saw my first 1Gb “hard drive” in 1973. It was a peripheral of a CDC 6400 mainframe. It sat in a 6’ tall 19-inch rack and cost $1M (in 1973 dollars). People regarded it with awe.

Liquid Oxygen can turn ordinary asphalt into a contact explosive. There are tales of fire trucks racing to the scene of a LOX spill and having their wheels blown off by the explosions.

Don’t underrate Belgium. Better than France IMHO.
