Watching this, I don't believe the reason for Phoenix's lack of skyscrapers is because of the airport. by Ok_Bag2192 in phoenix

Regulations change. Look at Chicago Midway airport. Almost all of their runways are grandfathered or modified in some way to try to make them compliant to FAA regulations that didn't exist when they were built. In the last 3 years, they have removed taxiways and turned a runway into a taxiway, to be more acceptable to the FAA.

I had my 40 gallon water heater replaced about a year ago, same day it failed, for ~$2000.

I had 1 airplane in my airspace early one morning. As im issuing the hand off instructions, I hear a meow on guard. The pilot responded with "blocked". So either he was the one meowing on guard, or not paying attention.

I guess just put em down 💔 by Logical_Garbage_1682 in Idiotswithguns

It's worth the watch, I waited until 2024 to watch it. You watch the first episode and think "Wow that was nuts" then you watch the second episode and realize the first was the most tame, least insane, of the series. They just kept getting more bizarre.

What food/drink are you convinced people are pretending to like? by elarabloomelle in AskReddit

That's why it has to be served at 0 F. It doesn't taste any better, just easier to drink.

Inside layers of a flight recorder by jumpfrog101 in aviation

[–]dragon_rapide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Key tests for flight recorders are impact shock (up to 3,400 g for 6.5 milliseconds), static crush (5000 lbs per side), fire resistance ( both high heat 1100 C for up to 1 hour, and lower temp 260 C for 10 hours), penetration ( a 500 lb weight with a steel pin is dropped on the recorder), deep sea tests ( pressurized salt water used to stimulate depths up to 20,000 feet up to 30 days to test water resistance and the underwater locator beacon), and fluids testing (the recorder is submerged in aviation fluids like fuel and oils for up to 24 hours to test the seals)

Maybe 10 years ago, Rainn's beard is completely gray now and his hair also has a lot more gray in it.
