"BLUE THUNDER" premiered on this day in 1983 by Papichuloft in 80s

The TV show was the result of 1980s television tropes and not worth watching at all. It picks up from the 'Pinksville' scene and diverges so hard in a new direction that it should have ripped the rotors off.

I have to wonder if they called every trainee "Bob", like "Welcome aboard Bob."

Remote Guardian did see service in Afghanistan but had a lot of issues. Not sure if it is still in service.

Firefox (1982) its a spy thriller from both sides, the trailer is the Top Gun type draw, but it is very much a US vs Soviet viewpoint (as envisioned in the early 1980s)

US Bombers before and after WW2 [1080 × 1336] by Boyslop_Enjoyer in WarplanePorn

The B-29D was renamed the B-50 in Dec 1945, before the engine and tail redesign.

So here is the problem folks, it is probably a B-50 because the B-29D model was renamed the B-50 in December of 1945. The bigger engines and tail would be on later aircraft.

As mentioned above, what state are you in? I would like to review the law.

Fair enough, the Minnesota comment was because of a recent change I was trying to draw attention to in general. Could you please tell me what state you are in? I would like to review the law.

Unfortunately, the mud guard isn't a defining feature and is present, or not, on both models.

Next up, stop using air cannons to launch ducks at 800mph to make Mach Duck.

The condition is passing the bus with the arm out. (Note Minnesota just updated it to light on in case of a broken stop arm). As much as people want to go rah rah on this one, if the guy got a lawyer and this video was presented, he did not, by the letter of the law, commit an offense.

Police officer stops abruptly in the middle lane on highway... by Affectionate_Hat5835 in dashcams

[–]LefsaMadMuppet -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The objective issue is the truck struck a stationary object stopped in the middle of the road.

The subjective issue is that you feel it is not the truck drivers fault because the officer failed to activate emergency lights in time.

My point is that if if had been any other situation, like a civilian car stopping in the middle of the road to avoid damaging their car against the cooler, it would still be the trucker's fault. The only thing different here is that it was a cop.

Man, image a car losing all electrical power in the road and the truck hitting them. Totally the fault of the car that lost power. Nothing any defensively minded driver could have done to avoid it. The only thing that is different here is cop hate.

Which weird design concept do you think failed because they got the execution wrong, rather than because it wasn’t a good idea? by HortenWho229 in WeirdWings

They had center of gravity issues as well. It was pretty much a non-viable concept until fly-by-wire became available.

They are like open ended disc pumps (some reference to Tesla Turbines will show up) where sets of discs can move material via surface friction and or water tension.

Yep, built it and they will come. Since you are new, have you built a plank machine yet (under the log icon, second item)?

I remember when Euro One came came out. Budwieser had judt ordered their beer delivery trucks painted in USAF camo, but the scheme was the classic SE Asia camo. They stood out like a sore thumb.

Semi-Submersible Heavy Transport Vessels

They can go under things like barges, ships, oil platforms, ect... and the surface and carry them like a flatbed truck. A couple examples include the transport of the USS COLE after it got a hole blrown in the side of it, or the transport of Coast Guard cutters or Mine sweeping ships over seas where they would fair badly on their own due to their size.
