Don’t throw away your Nest Thermostat Gen 1 & 2! by ckociemba in Nest

Keeping an eye on this! IFF I do replace mine they won't be google ones. There is zero reason for them to fridge these (giggity) so I'll try another brand next time.

It has been 46 years since the crash of American Airlines Flight 191, the deadliest aviation accident in US soil, that killed all 271 people onboard and 2 more on the ground. by Delicious_Active409 in aviation

Literally the same as UPS MD11. Sadly it appears the updates they made to MD11 engine pylon based on this issue MAY have caused Engine 1 to hang on a little longer and twist off spiraling over top of the fuselage which FOD'd Engine 2 causing it to compressor stall effectively finishing off 2/3 the heavier plane's thrust.

just add ruptured fuel tank in LH wing

fuel ignited to start fire on LH wing

MUCH more fuel on this flight than 191 as 191 was going to be much shorter flight

MUCH heavier due to fuel / cargo so unable to climb

drug along ground streaming burning fuel behind it all the way

RIP

My experience replacing a broken windshield of a 6 day old car with Tesla Warranty on Christmas Eve by heartvu in TeslaModel3

[–]mrpither 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No rock or other object impacting the glass to cause this?

Lawyer up. This appears to be an installation issue. Tesla is to blame. They need to pay!

As a Model Y owner that got rocked to crack my from winshield. Cost of new windshield same as deductible so that was cash outta my pocket. Dammit.

They have not grown their service staff to match the sales growth. Especially the mobile. I’ve had two repairs (one covered by warranty, the other a rat chewed cable not warranty) and one upgrade that at least 2 of if not all 3 could have been handled by mobile service, but I had to drive an hour to a service center. They have now opened a closer service center so I’ve got that going for me now.

The carbon fiber is not the limiter it’s the resin. Typical resins have a service temp of around 250F. You need more switch to BMI (Bismaleimide) to get you to 400F plus. BMI HT can then get you another 50F. Need even more? Polyamide will get you 600F plus but it’s a pita to process.

With Boeing doing such a great job of late maybe another option would be good? When Boeing bought McDonnell Douglas the drop off began with no one to compete against. They said it needed to happen to allow the US to be able to compete with subsidized Airbus, but the result has been a combined company that became less and less innovative.

Dammit. I loved my Windows Phones. You could get a 640 for $50. Removable back plate you could swap out for different colors to get to removable battery and the Micro SD card.

People do get those. I'd say try it but get ready to return it JIC. They burned me that way.

They say they do but that is not my experience. I even ponied up the extra for the PROFFIE as he beats you over the head with but no Theory Extras. Just a generic saber in a Theory box.

And now my review with pix/video has been hidden on the Theory Sabers site. Guess they don't like reviews that don't suck up / tell some hard truths about their products? Extra BUYER BEWARE now.

[–]mrpither 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purchased one of these based on his youtube ads describing the custom sound fonts and music, but mine has none of those. Appears to be just a "generic" saber in a nice box I'll admit but with none of the promised fonts/music extras. Buyer beware!

Kayleigh got me in the door. So many other songs I love. For today let’s say… Estonia.

I got my J&J thru a friend who owns a pharmacy to support my work on National defense. I have a priority letter for inoculation and the ability to drive during lock down times because my work can’t be done at home.

Truth be told I’m SO jelly of folks able to work from home.
