@generalbullmoose Not that surprising since this episode was dealing with whether or not they would get back. Now if Haise had been specifically required to do something critical to their return then it probably would have mentioned that he had gotten sick on the flight back since that would affe...

@greatestdirector We KNOW what was happening in detail. The flight crew didn't. Declaring an emergency is a serious decision. They wouldn't want to do it unless they know or it seems obvious that they should.

ATC is responsible for all aircraft under his control. Nobody can really lay exclusive ...

Perhaps it would have been better to stretch the program out to two hours (hehe) so that Epstein and Yoo would have enough time to spell out their positions better without the crosstalk. I enjoyed the extended program.

It might be an idea to try to make the program title differentiate a bit mor...

Short answer as I understand it. A glycoprotein that binds to B-12. It does not do that in the stomach. The complex then travels through the small intestines and gets absorbed by cells near the end of the small intestines. It is not an acid. Without IF, B-12 would generally go straight through wi...

Since tstruss912 seems so hung up on corporate tyranny which he calls "fascism" I had to look it up. A possible explanation: Fascism-TheUltimateDefinition.htm in its FAQ

Didn't Mussolini say Fascism was "rule by corporations"?

Yes, but he did not mean BUSINESS corporations, and he meant rule by ...

I think that while pitot tube failures may have started the crisis, it was the pilots not knowing how their flight systems actually worked that eventually killed them. From the interim report. They were flying too slowly (stalled). Push stick forward, valid data, stall warning sounds. Pull back s...

@sasukeAMVcreator Pilots are human. They make mistakes. If they never made mistakes the only fatal accidents would be when a component fails or weather, like micro-bursts, intervenes. If confronted by some unsettling situation, if the pilot reacts correctly or guesses the proper action to take, w...

@luislaurencio The volcanic ash particles of the ash cloud striking the aircraft leading edges and being swept away.

At 7:34 the sound cuts out and the rest of the vid is silent.

@haibane13 The exceptions, qualifications, and exclusions are what makes the current tax code so complex. If we got rid of pretty much all that I'd think that the current tax structure (brackets and marginal rates) would work reasonably well. At least it would be easier to figure out.

Flat tax ...

@ndillon18 I understand that payroll withholding came in during WWII. In any case, I think that a complete prohibition on taxation of personal income would be counter productive. Maybe better to specify the form of taxation (say the Flat Tax), its rate (15%), what is included in the taxable gross...

@Hendrik1293 Philosophical statement. With no engines the future looked bleak, a crash appeared certain, like the glass is half empty and going to be all empty. When engine 4 started, things were looking up, no longer were they certain to crash, the glass was half full and they had the prospect o...

@ohuggy I think you have to realize that when the reverser is activated the engines have to speed up again from idle else I think you get minimal reverse thrust. So the new procedure means that one engine is slowing the plane while the other (because the reverser is broken) tries to speed it up. ...

First, the pilot apparently made a mistake. That deals with the full power setting. Second, if it was an impossible error then why were there other accidents? That deals with the second point. Third, as the plane lands it is going fast enough that its rudder still controls which direction it goes...

Additional. In one sense, we don't see the additional cost, at uneconomical levels, for delivery of food, water, and ice, by the government, in the aftermath of a hurricane before things return to "normal". It is essentially "free" to the consumer. A more explicit example of government doing some...

There are two level 50 class quests, that require multiple turnins before you complete them, including stuff from Carn Dum (this is Shadows of Angmar). After the two are completed, you are told to talk to Elrond in Rivendell and when that is completed you will get the trait eagle friend.

@steam0001 You seem to think that the banks snuck sub-primes (and the less than credit worthy borrowers) past the regulators, when in fact it appears the regulators (under pressure from Congress, or perhaps one might say more influential politicians on certain committees) demanded that banks lend...

Finally got the book on my kindle, part way through.

I think it can be put this way. If someone else, like the taxpayer or as the case was Fannie and Freddie, assumes the risk of default by buying shaky mortgages for which they reduced their standards to do, then why should banks bother to be so...

Melting its way through to China is a metaphor. Nobody really believes that something like molten reactor fuel would literally go through the planet and emerge on the other side. Since China is assumed (for these purposes) to be on the other side of wherever you're standing in the US, it make for...

@littlemissjaded12345 Hope you finally got it, if not, here's what I'll do when I get that far.

Healing rune stone which helps by drawing any unhit mobs to it. HOT on yourself (probably need it). Use an enamel to shift affinity. Concentrate on ranged mob. Hope to survive until the heal aggro draw...

The player is a minstrel.

Of the first group of orcs, she killed one (think it was ranged) outside the cell so only two came in to fight her in melee.

I haven't done the skirmish yet, just got there with my hunter.

I would assume that you put down a healing rock inside the cell, put a HOT on yo...

@acenace24

Actually, I think a case of your car filling with mist/smoke and you keep driving along on a busy road until you cannot see then trying to cope with that and then have an accident, is more in line with what happened.

The crew knew they had limited options if the fuel report was corr...

@ktawut If a drowning man is struggling in the water and YOU CAN'T SEE HIM and his struggles are not noisy enough for you to hear, then how would you know he needed help unless he yells "help".

If you don't declare an emergency, then a statement of running out of fuel means "I am short on fuel"...

For all the cynicism, I got the impression that Sefton was not as dismissive of Dunbar as he tried to project.

@mphrdldn It wouldn't have made a difference. Price was a trusted man, among the prisoners. There might be suspicion but nothing would have been done before Price could have let his handlers know that he was in danger and they would have gotten him out of there or he would have just walked away....

@jonshultz Yes. He says (in another program) that he was a marxist but an internship in a government office changed his mind.

Sorry to see your problems.

Lot of sheet flow from the other side of the street towards your driveway -- makes me wonder how the road is actually sloped near your place.

I wonder if a french drain might have worked better along the driveway. Don't know the contours of your property so maybe not...

Being me, I'd look and see if the french drains can be fixed without digging them up. Maybe snaking them would clear them. Alternately, if the necessary distance was short, maybe dig a wide but shallow ditch (sodded afterwards) or install a PVC drain line. Be sure the association is on written no...

@conurelover This was in 1985. Certainly limitations of the recorder technology, and usually significant emergencies tended to end pretty much right away for better or for worse.

@superrcain If the flight crew had reacted properly, the loss of engine 4 would have been a minor event in an otherwise uneventful flight. That the flight crew didn't take appropriate actions led to a minor problem producing a very serious incident.
