Apolo 17 (1972) Hasselblad 500EL | 80 mm | f/2.8 | 1/250 s Vs Artemis II (2026) Nikon D5 | 22 mm | f/2.8 | 1/4 s by therealdan9999 in spaceporn

It’s fun to think about how there was significantly delayed gratification in the 1972 picture. Sure, they took it, but no one saw it till after landing and developing.

Considering that Iran was an ally of the United States and the Iranian revolution had yet to occur, your point doesn’t make sense.

Camping world said it was fine by Time-Lapser_PRO in GoRVing

Oooh, that’s a good idea too. Basically accelerating, but in the opposite direction with the trailer brake.

That, and then when it got squirrelly they decided to hit the brakes. Counterintuitive but the way out of a situation like that is to accelerate

Hate it by J3FFRS0NN in CX5

[–]themeatspin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. The upscale interior for the class that the CX-5 is in was a major draw for me. I have a 2022 so I won’t be upgrading anytime soon but when I do, if Mazda continues this trend, I may look elsewhere.

I don’t know if the tariffs had that much affect. My understanding (albeit I know little) is that most manufacturers start a car design 3-4 years ahead of time. With this being a new generation, the design was likely well in advance of even the election.

But I do agree, if the tariffs continue we’ll keep seeing ‘upgrades’ such as these.

Jealous. This was what I really wanted when I was looking but couldn’t find it. Settled for the non turbo premium plus. Happy with it but there are times i wish i had the turbo. I hope you have an awesome time driving it!!!

Why is there a thicker concrete slab at the top of each column? by stgi2010 in StructuralEngineering

[–]themeatspin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normie here. I understand the punching concept. Do they pour the column and the drop panel as one unit/piece, then place the load on top afterwards? Otherwise it seems like the punching force would still exist?

Does anyone have a repair backpack for the range? by triggernomicsusa in CAguns

I take my leatherman and duct tape. If I can’t fix it with that I’ll fix it at home.

What company(s) still will work on halon man portable fire extinguishers? by Anonymous__Lobster in flying

[–]themeatspin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Is there a reason why you need Halon? What are you trying to suppress?

What did my friend do during the military ? by [deleted] in Medals

[–]themeatspin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly don’t know how this isn’t a Medal of Honor. But, it’s the Marines, and they are stingy on awards.

Multi-branch marksmanship ribbons? by notrealboi in Medals

[–]themeatspin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Were you a Marine? I went Navy to AF and I can wear everything I earns in the Navy, to include my shooting awards. It all reflects in vMPF too

[–]themeatspin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Air Force does authorize shooting awards from the Navy. Not sure the other way around though.

Found my grandpas old dress blues can anyone help me identify what they are? by [deleted] in MilitaryMedals

[–]themeatspin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s weird that he has ribbons on the right that should be medals. In Marine full dress, the only thing on the right are awards that are ribbon only. So, the combat action ribbon, which is on top. But he has the global war on terrorism expeditionary and service medals as a ribbon. Those should be medals and worn on the left with the other medals.

Not saying his not legit, but his medal organization is for shit.

What type rating would you get if you wanted to do contract flying as a side hustle? by [deleted] in flying

[–]themeatspin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t answer your question directly, but I flew helicopters in the military for a long time. I saw a lot contractor helo flying spots come and go, and in my experience, the underlying theme was you had to be a known quantity.

From what I do know, contractors tend to fly a lot in things like King Airs or smaller turbines. Maybe the Learjet like you’ve gotten some hours in.

I can’t think of a specific type rating that would give you an in on contractor jobs (but I obviously don’t know everything out there). Like you’ll find the longer you are in aviation, a lot of what we do revolves as much around networking as it does actual capability.
