Flying car completes test flight between airports
A prototype flying car has completed a 35-minute flight between international airports in Nitra and Bratislava, Slovakia. The hybrid car-aircraft, AirCar, is equipped with a BMW engine and runs on regular petrol-pump fuel. Its creator, Prof Stefan Klein, said it could fly about 1,000km (600 miles), at a height of 8,200ft (2,500m), and had clocked up 40 hours in the air so far. It takes two minutes and 15 seconds to transform from car into aircraft. 'Very pleasant'
The narrow wings fold down along the sides of the car. Prof Klein drove it straight off the runway and into town upon arrival, watched by invited reporters. He described the experience, early on Monday morning, as "normal" and "very pleasant". In the air, the vehicle reached a cruising speed of 170km/h. It can carry two people, with a combined weight limit of 200kg (31 stone). But unlike drone-taxi prototypes, it cannot take off and land vertically and requires a runway.

Now only if the prices of lumber would come down.
Police in Lackawanna County broke up an exorcism in the lumber aisle of a home-improvement store Monday. Details are scarce on just what was going on inside the Home Depot on Commerce Drive in Dickson City Monday afternoon, but police were called around 3:26 p.m. to escort several people out of the store for “bad behavior,” WBRE/WYOU is reporting. According to reports, the exorcism was held for the trees that had been turned into lumber.

A Man's Penis Broke Vertically During Sex—an Apparent Medical First The awkward injury was surgically repaired and thankfully didn't lead to lasting disability, UK doctors say. A man in the UK appears to be a medical first, though probably not in the way he would have wanted. His doctors say he’s the first known person to have had his penis broken vertically during sex. Despite the odd injury, though, the man has fully recovered. A broken penis, or penile fracture, is more accurately described as a tear starting from the tunica albuginea, the protective layer surrounding the erectile tissue that pump blood to the penis. The reason why it feels like a broken bone is that most injuries happen during sex, when a fully erect penis is bent too far and/or with too much force and buckles under the pressure, which then causes blood in the penis to leak out. When that happens, it’s almost always accompanied by a loud popping sound along with quickly formed bruising and swelling, again much like a broken bone. The injury also causes immediate detumescence, or the loss of an erection. It’s thought to be uncommon, though probably underreported due to embarrassment.

Spicy means spicy, amirite? Not to our Genius Award Winners.
A Tennessee couple is facing attempted murder charges after they allegedly opened fire at Burger King employees following a dispute “over a spicy chicken sandwich,” according to a criminal complaint. Police report that Tavarus McKinney, 22, and Keonna Halliburton, 20, got into an argument earlier this month with Burger King workers at a restaurant in Memphis. The duo, cops say, complained that Halliburton’s chicken sandwich was too spicy. After the “initial altercation,” McKinney and Halliburton departed for a few minutes, but returned in their Ford Escape and allegedly “fired multiple shots from the road into the parking lot.”

Kmart bought Sears, cause 2 dying brands will make 1 whole good one right?
There is still one about 45-60 min from me. I do get a kick as one old K-Mart, which was then rebranded Sears before closing, is now a climate controlled self storage building. So you can now pay to store stuff in the building you bought it from 10 years ago.

Now, there is no McCrory's and baseball is just another woke sport I care nothing for.

1) Race is a social construct.
2) Racism in the United States is an ordinary experience of most people of color.
3) Legal advances (or setbacks) for people of color tend to serve the interests of dominant white groups.
4) Minorities deal with being stereotyped often.
5) No individual can be identified only in one way. A Black person can also identify as a woman, a lesbian, a feminist, a Christian, and so on.
6) People of color are uniquely qualified to speak on behalf of other members of their group (or groups) regarding the effects of racism.
So there you go. Dumb, obviously, but useful in terms of knowing the enemy propaganda.

That's another one I'm still mad about. We had a Sears and a K-Mart in town, the former of which was floundering while the latter was doing...pretty well, actually. Then corporate decided to shut down the K-Mart, while leaving the Sears open, despite the fact that no customers went there and lots of people still bought from K-Mart. Fast forward a year or two, and both places were emptied out.
But the former K-Mart is an Orscheln's now, so that's something, I guess.

I remember them. i got my second rifle, a 10/22 probably around 1986. My first gun was a Canadian single shot 22 bolt action. I got it from an antique dealer who thought it was a good choice for home defense. It was in horrible shape, we had to puddy and stain the stocks, scrub and re blue the barrel. But after that, it is likely my all time favorite weapon. It is literally lighter than a bb gun. It was made in 1931, the best year for Canadian rifles. I think we paid $22 bucks.

DG's are extremely popular around here. You're not going to get the same selection you would at a Wal-Mart, but you can also get your shopping done a lot faster and without feeling overwhelmed. And small communities like them, because they can give a good economic boost.
So invariably, there's liberal squawking about how they "ruin the community." Or something.

A couple weeks after she passed, I actually went in there to see if there were any of her old co-workers I recognized. I think there was one, the asshole who drove her to quit, and noone else I recognized.
The store... was different. It was like a toy store pretending to be a real Barnes and Noble.
I'm more or less extremely poor right now, but that was the first time I wished I had money so I could short some stock. If that's what they're like now, and nothing changes, they're going to die.

It's not a huge secret that I'm an almost exclusive GOG.com customer these days. One of the big reasons is that DRM-free guarantee they have...I can just get interesting games and play them, and not have to worry about the other crap. Like the old days, yeah?

I still have some old PC game boxes down in the garage. I rather miss the one-and-done game purchases before DLCs and microtransactions became a thing.

Flying cars just plain don't work. Can you imagine all the shit that would have to be done to make that thing meet Federal bumper height, and crashworthiness regulations, and emissions regulations, and still maintain light weight to be flyable? You get a chimera that is neither a very good car nor a very good airplane.
For the price of that "flying car" you could buy one very good used airplane, like, say, a Cessna 182, and two good used cars.

Well, it's kind of funky the way you keep putting flying car in quotes. I mean, it's a flying car.
As for the regulations, fuck the police.
You said flying cars just plain don't work. But, I mean, flying cars work. I mean, it's right there, working. Maybe there's some other way you could summarize your objections?
As for the price objections, you didn't factor in the cost of keeping the plane at wherever you landed, and the cost of renting a car there.
If I had that shit, I'd be flying every effing day, which would make it cheaper than having separate car and plane.

There was a particular one that was the best store for ocean sports, and rollerblading, of any store I've ever been in. Tremendous selection, knowledgeable staff (they actually knew the sport and the gear). To this day I haven't found anything comparable, in either area. For a more general/outdoors kind of store, the Scheel's chain (closest is Reno) is outstanding also.
I guess the market realities/numbers are what they are, but the demise of real, quality sporting goods stores is a huge net loss in consumer welfare in the digital age. One of the few cases of an indisputable step backwards.

As for the regulations, fuck the police.
You said flying cars just plain don't work. But, I mean, flying cars work. I mean, it's right there, working. Maybe there's some other way you could summarize your objections?
As for the price objections, you didn't factor in the cost of keeping the plane at wherever you landed, and the cost of renting a car there.
If I had that shit, I'd be flying every effing day, which would make it cheaper than having separate car and plane.
Posted by: Stonn at June 30, 2021 10:23 PM (xP36F)
That's why I said two good used cars. One at you home airport, one at your destination airport. Everybody has wished for a "flying car" when they are stuck at a standstill in bumper top bumper traffic on the freeway. But guess what? Your flying car cannot get airborne without a takeoff roll, and how can you do that? Use the on-board disintegrator to vaporize a half-mile of other cars? And even if your car could do VTOL, FAA would not let you fly it off a freeway. And if your car could do VTOL, why would you drive it on the freeway in the first place?

But the reality is they are famous for their food and golf courses. You think that is a shot but it is not. I respect the food, the Army and Marines could never reach that level. And if you have been around as many bases as I have, the Air Force by far has the best golf courses. But the one thing we did make fun of them about was the Basic at Lackland.They had one day of M16 familiarzation and one day of shooting the rifle with .22 sub caliber rounds. they didn't even shoot the legit rifle a single time.
I don't get that. If I knew people were questioning my training, i would go overboard to prove the opposite was the truth. But this stuff has been known for decades.

A few years ago when younger son of Doof was still playing club baseball, one of the other dads used to often say he was "happier than a puppy with 2 Peters". I think it was a reference to a children's book about a kid named Peter and his puppy. Supposedly!

And there aren't really any near-peer adversaries who have much likelihood of getting into a scrape with us.
It's more the contamination with this odious idiotic racist crap, and actually the "pride" nonsense too, the fact that no institution has stayed above this garbage. And the effects on unit cohesion, retention. And of course there are the small issues of competence (Navy western Pacific bumper cars, other things), but those fall mostly under "collapsing standards and integrity".

I dropped Deadwood after the first ten minutes. It was a time and place thing but that intro really got under my skin. I am likely one of the few because the series is beloved. I didn't like the cursing, the modern cursing and really the fist scene turned me off. But again, it might be time and place. No check that, I would be lying to you, I doubt I would ever like it.

As of right now we don't have any real military conflicts or enemies that requires the amount of people we have serving. And the upper brass have no incentive to downsize.

The matching of resources to strategy is another pre-existing issue. We have a force far far bigger than needed for the actual political will/understanding of the country, which is nil for anything involving much effort or time. Dressed up in less invidious euphemisms, we might consider a posture suited to a minimalist strategy. Be able to evacuate embassies (that could be a lively business) and protect the homeland. That's it.
Of course by now, even defending CONUS would be far from a slam-dunk thing, in terms of public support.

It was a 40-foot steel tower that once supported a 3.5kW Jacobs wind generator. Made mostly of various sizes of galvanized steel angle. The biggest pieces being maybe 2.5" by 3" by 5/16" section thickness, by 20 feet long. Lots of cross and diagonal braces, too. All held together by square-headed 5/8" galvanized nuts and bolts. The air impact spun most of them off real easy-like.

No. They're there to prevent Russian and Chinese military adventures.
I'm in favor of them being there and I'm not an imperialist.
I recall Jerry Pournelle, when we went in Afghanistan and Iraq after 9/11, calling our strategy incompetent imperialism.
That is, not only are we using our blood and treasure to defend other countries, we aren't getting any money out of it.

Reading more survivor tales. I posted about the wife calling her husband saying she saw the pool deck collapse first, then the line went dead.
Another one confirms that. A woman head knocking sounds, then a big crash and ran down to the lobby to ask what was going on. In the lobby, she saw the pool deck collapse. She and her kids then ran for their lives.
We can be sure something about the pool deck and parking garage was failing, likely due to corrosion. But the actual specific failure mode that brought the rest of the building down is still not clear. But the pool deck collapse was the trigger.

No, Russia has a military and nuclear weapons for a reason.
You can't say Russia isn't interested in taking over Europe, especially when they took over a Russian part of the Ukraine, but even without that, you can't say you know what's on their minds.
A major point made in the '80s was that we can't make our military strategy on what other countries look like they will do, but on what the could do, what their capability is.
Germany can have all the money power and political power they want. It don't mean shit compared to military power, and Europe has none of that.

As I recall, the pool was some distance from the building itself, yes?
Probably then it's due to shifting sand and soil under the whole property.
The water flooding the basement makes that look likely; I think water-saturated soft soil or sand would shift a lot easier than dry.

We can be sure something about the pool deck and parking garage was failing, likely due to corrosion. But the actual specific failure mode that brought the rest of the building down is still not clear. But the pool deck collapse was the trigger.

You don't know what your talking about, The Russian land conflict with Ukraine isn't a black and white issue. There's parts of Ukraine that never wanted to be a part of Ukraine, they still think of themselves as Russians. Russia is just sitting back now and waiting to see how to play it. And the whole area in question isn't as big as Maine.
As for the military, Heck their military is so much in shambles the Italians could take them by themselves.
As for Germany, they don't need to have a dominate military power, they have basically taken over Europe already through the EU. They're the ones running the show now.

Our defending them in WWI and WWII also infantalized them, if that infantalized them.
Strong militaries in Europe we had. People didn't like the results, see WWI and WWII.
The people of Europe are themselves against having strong militaries, and have been since before WWII, before WWI.
It was the leftist parties in England that were against them having a strong military before WWI. And before WWII.
The only way to make people learn about danger is to have them suffer from it. But in the current case that means the only way for Europe to learn they should have a strong military is for Russia to march across Europe. I don't like that.

In the west I would go UK, then France, Italy, then Germany. After that Spain but it would be close. Throw in the Poles, Hungarians, Georgians and others, and no way I would want to be Germany trying them again. There are others that can be serious like the Belgians, Dutch and Scandis. Not sure where GErmany lands. I dont think they have any desire to lead a fight for anything on the field.

Putin detected.
Say, Mr. Putin, there are lots of countries that have parts of their populations that ethnically fit better with nearby countries.
Like the Sudetenland, for example.
But you shouldn't be marching into these countries to forcibly take over those parts of those countries.
Just because you can think of a reason to invade doesn't mean it's less of a military adventure.

From what has come out (and the Daily Mail has been good at aggregating it all), the original sin with that building was improperly installed waterproofing of the pool deck (basically big slab surrounding the building with the parking lot underneath. Some membrame/barrier thing wasn't installed correctly.
This let the parking garage area underneath become something of a bathtub for water, leaking out of the pool, rainwater, and even tidewater pressure underground.
A guy who worked as the head of maintenance for the building in the late '90s said there was constant flooding of the parking garage, especially during abnormal high tide vents. Water would pour in, and there was one to as much as two feet of standing water down there. This wasn't normal he warned, and he said management just ignored it.
He said there was constant pumping going on, so much that the pumps would wear out all the time.

Americans traditionally loathed a standing army, Jefferson for one was against it. The US Army before the Civil war was tiny, like 15,000 tiny. It ballooned into the millions and then it simply disappeared. Same with before ww1 and same with before ww2. We definitely had something against large standing armies. I guess that changed somewhat after ww2 but still I don't think the standing army was large considering the population and our newfound power. Obviously the Cold War dictated things we built up.,
really the idea of a large standing army and a force that projected its strength came out of WW2 and the Cold War world.

No, it can't be disingenuous if it's openly being funny.
There's a real problem with anyone saying well there's an excuse for taking over another country or part of it, if the argument isn't that it's a real threat, and I see it all the time when people talk about the Ukraine.

keep reporting on this. This reminds me of a an apartment building I know. Constant leaks from rains, the pool, etc. The management doesn't care, to them it a cash cow. THis is interesting info I might pass on to people that should read about it.

If you watch the video of the collapse, you'll see the thing came down in three sections. The two latter sections came down because of the stress of the first falling section. The support of those didn't fail, it was just subject to stresses and forces from the first section falling that exceeded what it could stand by a long shot.
The question is what caused the first section to come down. It is clear that is was bottom up failure. Something at the bottom gave way, and everything above came crashing down.
The support columns under that part could have been corroded like we know parts of the pool deck and garage structure were and just finally gave way.
Or, something about that first "sink hole" failure of the pool deck knocked those support columns under the first part sideways. Like taking a sledgehammer and knocking a support beam out from under something.

Why? Because we haven't had any border dispute this open for a while? Russia isn't going to invade Ukraine, they're sitting back watching Ukraine self destruct. The problem right now isn't Russia, it's that Ukraine is becoming a failed state with a totally corrupt government bouncing around between multiple factions always ready for a takeover or to force a split.

Pretty heavy-handed for a country not interested in invading Ukraine.
You keep saying what Russia is going to do like you know, like you know Putin personally and he calls you all the time to chat. And in case he does chat with you all the time, I wouldn't believe him. Just sayin'.
And you keep talking down the situation in the Ukraine like you know the whole country intimately.
Russia and China are the two exemplars in total corruption, and they aren't failing right now.

The fuck? America is hugely important to the Ukraine, and the Democrats control the American government. Ukraine gives the Bidens money so the Ukraine can survive, with Russia having taken over part of the country.
Some in the Ukraine's government were willing to help Trump investigate the Democrats corruption in their own country.
