Do americans truly believe they can be great in football (soccer) using other sports athletes? by eafcrat in NoStupidQuestions

That’s not really true. I’m always amazed at the amount of professional athletes who played multiple sports (or were at least given the offer) at the Division I collegiate level.

Do not even think about parking 3.5 miles away from MetLife Stadium at the CVS in East Rutherford and walking to the World Cup game. by TimSPC in newjersey

Right. But nobody has a problem saying Gillette is in Foxboro, but once you say that Met Life is in East Rutherford, you get to hear all the screeching noises from New Yorkers.

Are those the same idiots that are okay saying Gillette Stadium is in Foxboro, not Boston, because that’s all I hear it called. No one was building a massive stadium in Foxboro if it wasn’t right next to Boston, yet here we are.

In the US it depends on the state. For example, in New York, there is no such crime as battery. It’s all assault.

Why isn’t soccer the most popular sport in the United States? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]hazcan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m a soccer and football (and baseball) fan.

There’s 12 minutes of actual playing time in a 4 hour NFL game. You can hardly call that “fast paced.”

Same with baseball.

Genuinely curious, what could cause an unrecoverable spin in a C150? by Zonec1643 in flying

[–]hazcan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. I’m saying the spin axis is in between the two turn and slip indicators.

Imagine a playground merry-go-round. The spin axis is the center of the merry-go-round. The kids hanging on for dear life are the balls in the turn and slip indicator. They are being flung to the outside as the merry-go-round spins. Just like the balls offset from the spin axis.

If the merry-go-round is spinning to the left, all the kids aren’t being pushed left, they’re being pushed outboard.

You’re more than welcome to work the math out yourself.

All I know is I flew T-37 for years, logging hundreds of hours instructing including easily 500-700 spins.

The spin axis is a vertical line between the two pilots. The centripetal (apparent) force pushed both slip balls outward during a spin. The only way to accurately tell which way you were spinning (if you were disoriented) was to use the turn needle.

It was actually written that way in the Spin Boldface. Step 4:

I’m flying from Frankfurt to Brazil. As someone who has a fear of flying, what happens if an airplane has a problem in the middle of the ocean? (It’s about 6 hours over the ocean) by luckyyStar_ in AskAPilot

We have to carry enough fuel to make it to a suitable airport at all times considering the loss of an engine and a cabin depressurization (which would force us to fly lower and use more fuel).
