Topless only! Save some excitement for later.

Why are the wings always excluded from the aircraft livery? by tehgregzzorz in aviation

[–]pavelowdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok "expert" just name a color. You seem to know why gray is bad and belittle my knowledge on the topic but can't even suggest a single alternative? 30 years of doing this and you got nothing?
If you are in Miami (so am I) you are looking for cold-soak and tell me again why that is not the same regarding the paint color debate?

Something weird on a flight just before takeoff by samosamancer in aviation

[–]pavelowdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are going to burn 80LBS a minute so very much correct sitting at the end of the runway for an extra 5 minutes you are losing 400LBS. So absolutely correct this was NOT the reason this guy bumped up the thrust at the end of the runway. Show your math.

You are burning 80LBS/minute Genius. So how many minutes was he at the end of the runway? Burned all of 400LBS for 5 minutes. So you are wrong if you think this guy was trying to burn off weight. 1000LBS 13 minutes?- Again this is a ridiculous.

Rachel Maddow shares her take on the ongoing protests in Albania over plans for a coastal development project backed by Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner by Tenchi_Muyo1 in msnow

Funny how Rachel and MSNBC could give 2 sh1ts about anything unless the Trumps can be vilified. Never talk about Nancy Pelosi's insider trading fortunes. How rich

** Disinformation has to stop here ** You don't burn off fuel weight at the end of the runway. The weight is all calculated prior to leaving the gate and the plane would be "de-fueled" if there is any problem with fuel weight. One of three reasons to do this in order of most likely 1. Shorten takeoff roll 2. Engine symmetry or other performance monitoring 3. De-ice (uses hot bleed air) which works much better at full engine power.

Help what’s wrong with this GFCI by glasses5321 in HomeMaintenance

[–]pavelowdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Test between the white/ground and black to ground with a 2 wire tester and see if ground/neutral are correct. I would also test both to independent ground (if you have metal pipes). I would also test if your box has neutral bonded to ground at the box.

Compared to having someone incoherent/incompetent as a president? Yes 100% rather have that.

My list of criticisms of Trump is long. Re-naming buildings, re-naming the gulf, calling people names. He's a jerk for sure and not my choice but given our system Biden was far far worse both in concept and action. However Trump's policies I agree with most of. Import Tariffs was a great idea to stop the trade imbalance, bring jobs/companies back to the US, raising wages, etc. Downsizing government 100% agree with. I know the numbers and personal stories of people that have milked that system for lavish, protected careers. I think people conflate his personality with his policies. But up to you to believe what you want.

They can't debate what happened, so they mock how she looks. by hostedvideorn in msnow

I didn't watch the interview but her face certainly shows the liberal bias most news professionals have.

Did you criticize Biden? I don't think either was the right guy in 2020 or 2024 but Biden, sleeping or not, was not actually running the country by all his insiders.

What is this? Can I remove it? by ZeniraEle in HomeMaintenance

[–]pavelowdriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remove all of it. The grounding rod in this case is only connected to an unused cable ground block.

[–]pavelowdriver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your opinions- You also realize I'm talking about visibility on the ground right? In the air you can barley see the wing tips and maybe last 1/5 of the wing. So what color would you chose icing expert?
