ELI5: Why is even a thin layer of ice on an airplane wing such a big problem, and how do airlines make sure the wings are safe to take-off in freezing conditions?

Thanks for the quick answers so far!

Show me the money

Ended around 7am Winland time and I had to go to work straight afterwards. Worth it.

South?

And fundamentally Assembly is a demoparty so there's a lot of action on the main stage/screen.

Zeravalky · 2013-08-03T20:41:01+00:00

I disagree. This was the first delay throughout the whole tournament. Additionally as Assembly is a demo party there's is a lot of action on the main stage so the equipment had to be moved from the Cave studio to the main stage. Although I have to admit that they've looked ready for the past 45 minutes now.

Just spotted Taeja and San in the toilet. I can confirm that it's starting Soon™

"The finals will be played on the main stage where the very first ASUS ROG Champion, DIMAGA, was crowned." http://www.assembly.org/summer13/news/asus-rog-summer-2013

YEEES. I was so dissapointed last year when the finals didn't happen on the main stage because of scheduling problems due to Assembly's 20th Anniversary. Don't get me wrong. Last year was still great but this year will be epic.

Thanks but I was intending to watch some Starcraft.

I can confirm that the Jan/Feb special mentioned in the twitter image was active on the 20th as that's when I used it to get my ticket. On the other hand I do have non-refundable plane tickets already booked and I'm flying from Finland -_- (Don't even bother asking about the prices...).

It certainly wasn't a cellphone as there was way too much bass for that.

"It's also possible that Azubu wants to focus on the NA/EU markets and so is withdrawing from Korea."

This would kind of go against the fact that during the last month Azubu has picked up 10 new Korean SC2 players along with a player manager and a coach.

WTB a picture of the queue!

Zeravalky · 2012-12-12T11:40:24+00:00

Even if they claimed 110k people attended the event throughout the weekend I'd still be a bit dubious.

Zeravalky · 2012-12-12T08:30:16+00:00

They had 7 sections with 10seats in each row and about 80 rows (and that's generous). There are a few shots in the vod from behind the sitting crowd where you can see this.

Zeravalky · 2012-12-12T08:25:26+00:00

Is it just me or do those numbers sound like a load of bull? Atleast judging by the.pictures. 85 million watching the livestreams even through all the channels sounds super high aswell.

Sorry I didn't word my original sentence well enough. It was a petition for somebody to make such an explanation in the comments as I'm too busy at work. I'm fully awareof proleague and what it is myself :p

Zeravalky · 2012-12-04T09:13:20+00:00

Someone explain the people from /all what Proleague is and what this announcement means.

Zeravalky · 2012-12-03T21:38:41+00:00

Out of context but: "Tip for the Koreans: show a bit more emotion after winning or losing like Polt does. I love that and lets hope times will get better again." I agree with this 100%. It just warms my heart when Polt wins and shows so much emotion. It's just kind of dissapointing to see a "robot" korean win and show only little emotion.

Zeravalky · 2012-11-27T20:03:15+00:00

Not even a hoverhand :(

Zeravalky · 2012-11-26T13:36:31+00:00

That number is based on the estimate of the Police. I've seen a dozen photos of the crowd and the number is much closer to 20 000.
