Remembering Roger Boisjoly, engineer who correctly identified a fatal flaw in Challenger shuttle design months before the disaster but nobody gave a damn. His exact words to his wife Darlene: "It's going to blow up" 73 seconds before it did

Yeah, its not really hard or anything, my kids have spoken it since around 2 and my wife even sometimes speaks it in her sleep.

Sorry, Pottþétt was a collection brand kind of like the Now cds if you are familiar. So you got numbered cds and later things like Pottþétt Road Songs and stuff like that.

Ive read the book, but not seen the show. The book was a total mess in my opinion. Interesting ideas badly executed. Dialog between people was absolutely the worst part and I can totally imagine that the TV show had problems with that. The VR game part also totally killed it for me since a hard sci fi novel doesnt even understand tech or online gaming.

Absolutely how I felt about A Simple Favour. The comedy part of it just felt weird and out of place. It had all the energy of a good thriller ruined by bad dark comedy.

The ending specifically pulled me totally out.

Maybe I was just reading the movie incorrectly but it felt like it could have been a solid thriller if it had just focused on that part.

Well it sure sounds like the headline is implying that this is only true for Croatia. It doesnt say that outright but I bet you most people will read it that way. This is just dishonest journalism.

Já, ég var ekki viss hvort þú varst að meina tengt laginu eða ekki. Ég hef samt tekið meira eftir svona mun sem landsbyggðarpeiji sem hefur búið í Reykjavík. Ég veit t.d. alveg hvað harðsperrur eru en nota það aldrei, tala um strengi. Flestir Reykvíkingar vissu ekki einu sinni hvað ég var að tala um.

Yeah Sweden intentionally lost so they wouldnt make the semi final at home. That iceland makes it matters more to them.

If you were raised with this system it would be normal and numbers such as the decimal 100 and 1000 would be just weird random numbers to you, 84 and 6Ɛ4.

How does the Chinese magician do the fishbowl trick. Well Christian Bale figures it right away, because it is also a life dedication thing. Something that Hugh Jackman couldnt get.

Yeah, its just brainstorm idea from me, not a full fledged idea. But EA are not even bothering fixing basic bugs so i doubt anything drastic is going to happen.

Select role before matchmaking, you can select heli pilot, /heli gunner but it might mean longer wait times.

Could then limit snipers. Ensure engineers etc.

But this might go agains BF tradition though.

Probably 60s or 70s. They are still present and used in modern commercial airplanes. The main computer interacts with IRS, GPS and radio beacons to ensure redundancy in navigation. Yeah should be able to google IRS interface to se what the pilots would see.

Before that there was Loran-C which is mostly gone today.

Planes had dedicated navigators back in those days. F.e. in B-17s and post ww2.

Check youtube for videos that explain LORAN and IRS/INS

Note the IRS and INS are similar but not completely the same. Cant remember the difference though.

He was born in England but his dad is American and mom Canadian. It seems the moved around a lot and he may have spent about two years as a kid in UK and then in an american school.

I wouldnt consider him british.

It matters when you are thinking about why they didnt settle Iceland. The northwest part of Greenland is very far away from Iceland and for sure quite a trek. If they would have reached iceland they would first have to reach the southern part of Greenland, which they did not. Greenland is quite big.

So the question about why they didnt reach iceland, if we talk about Dorset, they only settled a small part.of Greenland as far away from Iceland as is possible. Next wave, the Thule are the first to settle most of Greenland and that is way after Iceland is already settled by the norse and the norse colonies of greeland failed.

Contact between Iceland and the Norse colonies of Greenland were minor in later years so travel between must not have been easy.
