@DKiSAerospace Thanks.

@DKiSAerospace Um, kinda uncool to post this when she asked that it not be clipped.

@moricalliope Cats are SO HELPFUL

Cats. Cats broke into my studio last night and chewed all the wires, including the irreplaceable ones that require a mechanic to fix. :,}

@sovereignofkent I've often observed that undergrad is learning all the things we DO know, then grad school is learning about how much more we DON'T know.

@Iam_wishh @A_beIIadonna The one on the left is a serval, the one on the right is a manul.

@A_beIIadonna What is the name of these animals that look like cats or tigers

@TSHamiltonAstro @planet4589 It's a suborbital insertion, and flight 4 did it too.

@planet4589 5 seconds from capture, and I still thought it would crash. Fantastic job! (And, incidentally, Starship made it to orbital insertion. That's the first time that's happened, right?)

I admit I did not expect this to work.

@83dollaroring An Apple credit card for trolling my colleague who loves titanium but hates Apple

has anyone found any *good* use cases for titanium outside of very specifically mach 3 aircraft and scamming consumers of sporting goods

@foster_chair @RissaVirus Liz has used Language in song lyrics.

@RissaVirus I've noticed the same with Liz but I think they're probably just people who don't swear a lot, couldn't be me sadly 😭

@Alexphysics13 Was literally just wondering that myself. Can't find a control for it.

Who was the mastermind that had the brilliant idea of setting up videos in this website so that it jumps to a totally unrelated video after you're done watching a video? It's so tiring

@lastplacecomics @SullivanBarsan1 In old school photo developing, you'd use a tool that looks like that to selectively cast shadows on the print as it develops, which is called "dodging."

@SullivanBarsan1 That's the icon for the dodge tool, for some reason

@ThatsBoSheep My dad was at Utah beach, he was 20 years old.

Today is the 80th anniversary of D-Day. A battle which I am very proud to say my grandfather survived. I did not know him well, as he passed 30 years ago. But I do know, he'd be very sad to see the current state of the world. I'll be thinking of him today.

@FeuFollet_ @MCCCANM Right, which is why you need ground tugs to move planes backwards. Planes are highly optimized for moving forward, backward not so much.

@MCCCANM So it's only the running engines that can move the plane. Thanks

On takeoff, the wheels continue to spin in the air. Pulling spinning wheels into the landing gear bay is undesirable, as a damaged tire may cause damage to other systems, like hydraulics Thus, when the landing gear is raised, most large airplanes automatically apply some brakes to the main gear to stop this spin before retraction. As a secondary safety measure, many aircraft have several small plastic tabs that hang down on the underside of the wing around the main gear. In theory, if a tire is damaged & begins to shed pieces of itself, those pieces will hit one of the tabs, which are basically just plugs along a specific hydraulic system. Hitting one of them (which breaks it off) instantly dumps hydraulic pressure to the gear system, preventing gear retraction All of which works well, but the nose gear doesn't have brakes. Fortunately, there aren’t a lot of components sharing space in the nose gear bay, though Instead, nose gear tires are pulled into the nose gear bay & pressed against brake pads called “snubbers”, which stops the wheels. If you’re sitting near the front, you may be able to hear this effect; unlike the main gear which stop in a second, the nose gear takes a little longer to stop, and it sounds a little like something wobbling or shaking under the floor

@ichigo10000001 Only saw one other person mention Cowboy Bebop. I'd add Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine.

What is this Anime/Manga ⁉️👀
