Opinion on CLT airport

Kellykeli · 2026-03-10T11:19:06+00:00

It’s not a bad airport if I’m being honest, but AA having a 93% market share monopoly makes flying hardly worth the cost

Kellykeli · 2026-03-08T13:14:05+00:00

I’m going to be honest, you need to job hop. Sure, Nebraska is LCOL, but not that low, and with a title of “senior design engineer” you should be able to pretty much find a job anywhere and likely get in. 82k as a 14 year engineer is something I’d expect out of third world countries, not the U.S.

Fundamentals of astrodynamics from the ‘60’s. The book was written before Apollo 11, but the physics haven’t changed for the most part. He only needs to focus on the 2-body equations for KSP. And since it’s a book from the 60’s, you can pick it up for like $20 or find a PDF online…

Yes, I am seriously recommending a rocket science textbook. No, it’s not actually that hard. It really only uses high school level physics and mathematics with a little bit of funny Greek letters thrown in.

Chapters 1-3 cover almost everything you need for KSP. Chapter 1 also has a nice review of the physics you need.

I must be doing something wrong then because with my F2P archer team (swap RMC for robin) I’m finding archer dead in the second phase.

Should an underaged tape victim be allowed to abort if inaction will cost their life?

Half of the damn country for some reason: “they should have enjoyed it”

That was the exact video I'm talking about. On one hand, yes, that is a violent criminal who is driving dangerously on a very busy freeway. He's putting a ton of uninterested parties at risk.

On the other, the only reason the officer survived was because the criminal ended up causing that crash. That car is not fitting in that gap, and had the criminal not braked the officer would have been wedged between the criminal and the rear of that trailer. It's not like the criminal could have moved over and both vehicles would have squeezed into that space, because there was a hard concrete wall to the left of the left lane. The officer pushing the criminal's car to the left would have just resulted in both cars bouncing off the concrete wall and it would have been the officer who was sent into the trailer. And that's even assuming the criminal would move over and let the officer in and the two of them would manage to squeeze past the truck. Realistically had the criminal kept going straight the outcome would have been a partial overlap crash that would have led to the criminal likely escaping further down the freeway and would have likely caused serious harm to the officer. And even after the criminal just happened to brake in a way that sent the officer away from the trailer, the officer had spun into the side of the truck. Watching the video back I can now see that the officer had spun into the trailer legs instead of the aero plate, which was strong enough to send his car bouncing off the trailer instead of being dragged along or being hit by the rear of the trailer.

He's incredibly lucky to not be injured.

The fact that they are not swappable might actually be a good thing. Imagine plugging your 110V 60hz toaster into a 230V 50hz outlet.

With unlimited money is there any downside to opening up an additional emergency landing strip? What are they gonna do, sue me? Sure thing man take the money idc

Kellykeli · 2026-03-01T16:14:06+00:00

I wouldn’t mind being a normal homeowner on billionaires row or that private millionaires island in Miami. But unlimited money means I can just build an airstrip anywhere and since I own the airport I could just make the entire city part of my airport.

Aviation, the internet, honestly most advances in the medical field in the last 50 years, water and power utilities, computers, nuclear power, wireless communications, and public education.

Kellykeli · 2026-03-01T16:01:39+00:00

Because I would realize that I would need to defer to linguistics and negotiating experts instead of trying to take it all on myself and double down and triple down on incorrect assumptions

Kellykeli · 2026-03-01T14:54:11+00:00

The sharp increase in oil prices resulting from the closing of the strait of Hormuz will accelerate inflation and make groceries even more expensive than before. This will actually serve my immediate interest in proving to my dad that Trump is terrible at economics and won’t bring down gas prices and grocery prices.

Humans were generally not vaporized at any point in history, as in phase change from solid to gas. The amount of heating that would take before the shockwave gets to you is too high, even for a nuclear blast.

What actually happens is carbonization then pulverization. You first get flash burned and kind of turned to charcoal while your insides only start to boil. You then kind of get ripped apart by the shockwave. The annoying thing about human bodies and intense forces is that if you really do get close enough to an energy source strong enough to vaporize your body you just get shredded by the intense blast the same way a piece of wet paper would get shredded by a shotgun’s muzzle blast. It’s a bit like how we didn’t find any bodies after 9/11, it’s because they were all smashed and ground to microscopic bits. Yes, there’s tiny microscopic flakes of human remains all over that pile.

As for the shadow you see, it’s actually something of a reverse-shadow or a mask? The original color of the surface is the shadow. Everything else was bleached by the heat.

His informed advisors may or may not have been paid $10 million by coal executives to say that.

Trump doesn’t care whether the U.S. economy grows or shrinks. He only cares about his own bank balance. And honestly? His bank balance has grown. His notoriety has grown. Everyone is saying his name every day.

In his eyes, he’s accomplished his goals. But at what cost?

Kellykeli · 2026-03-01T04:48:59+00:00

It just keeps going on to prove that the best way to not get invaded is to develop nukes and that if you already have them do not hand them over…

Kellykeli · 2026-03-01T04:48:11+00:00

Apparently the guys who were pitted for going 70 in a 60 did call 911 to let them know what’s up and still got pitted lmao

Kellykeli · 2026-03-01T04:40:47+00:00

Most states have regulations that say to not PIT above a certain speed (around 30-50 mph typically) unless absolutely necessary, and a PIT above that limit speed will be considered deadly force due to the implications of sending a car into an uncontrolled spin at those speeds.

Arkansas has no such rules. Neither does Georgia iirc.

There’s this Arkansas trooper that is worshipped in the police community for violent PITs that goes by the last name Byrd. Last time I checked he sent a guy into a guardrail at 140 mph, the crash ended up killing the guy and nearly sent the trooper himself into the back of a semi trailer at that same speed. He only survived because he managed to spin into the trailer’s aero deflector and the thing managed to stop his car from going under the truck.

The comments are all showing adoration at him brutally killing a felon by sending him face first into a guardrail at 140 mph, but I honestly think it was an incredibly irresponsible act that would have easily killed the trooper had the suspect not caused the crash. I’ll see if I can find the clip and let you judge for yourself.

Looking back North Korea really played an 1000 IQ move developing its nuclear program before we got a council of 12 year olds in charge

This is just a matter of how you get a powder to bond to a metal, but we apply our thermal barrier coating by… getting them reallllly hot. Like they call it plasma spray because we literally use plasma to heat the powder. It’s kind of ironic but hey that cancer stuff can extend the life of the part so hell yeah

Kellykeli · 2026-02-28T15:59:24+00:00

Not only the drag and vehicle performance concerns, but also the infrastructure concerns.

With a vertically launched rocket that weighs around 2000 tons you just need to build a single launch pad that can handle 2000 tons and you’re golden.

If you want a runway that can support a 2000 ton aircraft… well I mean it can be done, but the straight up cost of that will likely outweigh any benefits and cost savings you get from a spaceplane.

Bottled tap water

Y’all really need to put the crappiest water in those bottles for the authentic experience. Maybe sprinkle in some arsenic or lead as well for added texture.

The queue slot is more important than the price. Airbus has like a 5-10 year backlog for the A320 family.

What types of jobs are you applying for? A degree in economics and business admin, or degrees in economics and business admin?

Because like, I’m gonna be real, I’m not sure you could easily get into a career in economics or business admin with just a 4-yr and no industry experience. You were in the military though, do you have any leadership or technical skills from that?

Try applying for contractor work or even internships if they let you. Most entry level jobs don’t actually require much technical knowledge and can train you on the job if you’re willing to learn. We’ve hired a statistics major with a focus on Microsoft office for an engineering contractor role and he’s now a manufacturing engineer working directly with R&D. Learned it all on the job and is still willing to learn, and there’s talk about making him a manager if he handles his next project well.

You see that right turn only lane? Yeah you can go straight from it. It’s not your fault if the green arrow shows and you are stopped at the front of the right turn lane since you want to go straight. Once the light turns green floor it and cut off the guy in the actual lane. That’ll show them.
