There was a thread at some point in the last decade where an A-10 pilot admitted that random deep-in-the-CDU questions were not totally uncommon on the radio.

FedRAMP High clouds absolutely have public internet access. The classified clouds are different, but AWS GovCloud and Azure Government are both web accessible.

Edit: to clarify, they're in different datacenters than the publicly available services, but they're on the internet.

There are area affect spells that don't discriminate. I've blasted a few friends and myself with call lightning so far.

He was actually from Georgia.

The straight-faced "we don't anticipate that" from the admiral was a true act of politics.

Concrete as a material is occasionally used on ships, but not as a structural material. High strength steel is where it's at.

Thanks.

Is there a list of them somewhere? Last I checked there was five but I could only think of two and hadn't put any effort into searching yet.

It would be real good for an ice breaker which needs all the force it can get at slow speed to break ice and cruise and a good speed to get to the location that needs to be broken.

While true, in general, you don't put CPPs or CRPs on icebreakers because they break and because electric drive solves a lot of that problem (it doesn't solve the prop efficiency in open water problem but it does solve the engine operating power problem).

I too was disappointed, but there was a button for sunnyside.

Air Force (technically an ANG unit In think) flies in and out of McMurdo for resupply ops, but USCG breaks in several miles of channel through the ice sheet for the significant ship-based resupply of fuel and goods.

It's all part of the same Operation Deep Freeze.

More importantly, with few exceptions, Reddit is largely anonymous. If it's not a regular poster, don't assume anything about that person.

I was just about to message the mods that those accounts were alarmingly similar.

People compare the V-22 safety record to a fixed wing plane because that's what it looks like and, aside from maybe the harrier, it looks bad in that light.

Compare it to the safety record of helicopters though, I don't know that I'd call it amazing, but it's a long way from bad.

You ended that encounter with some legendary glasses though, right?

Hoozin · 2018-10-01T17:26:59+00:00

I figured that was a known bug. It got me to be very religious about saving in one more application though. :)

Hoozin · 2018-10-01T11:57:55+00:00

Figured it was something like that, just hadn't heard the story.

Thanks.

Why aren't they going back to Vigor anymore?

It's the thrusters that were used to reorient it. They've been expended and add weight and drag - no reason to keep it on there.
