... but not untrue.

It'll go pretty fast with an electric sander. Use drywall sanding paper -- it looks like a screen with abrasive on it, so it doesn't load up.

Sand everything down more-or-less flat without going through the drywall paper or tape before applying more mud.

You're also going to need a much wider blade to do the tape. It looks like you have a four or five inch blade. You'll need a ten or twelve inch wide blade. Mix your mud a trifle thinner. It's easier to get right if you put on multiple thin coats, sanding flat in between.

The pros can do it in essentially one go, but that takes an amount of practice I don't have.

A real light orange peel texture will do a lot to conceal imperfections.

So you're more concerned with pronouns than drug dealing?

I make a point of only thinking about 50% of the universe at a time.

It's half-vast.

You might be surprised where waves can set up. Be that as it may, private ownership of an aircraft able to reach 30,000 feet isn't out of the question.

The tons of fuel don't have the oxidizer mixed in with it.
So full fuel tanks can't just burst into flame. You need to add oxygen to it. Which is another advantage of fuels: you don't have to lift the oxidizer.

Lots of gliders have done that in wave. Of course, that's off topic, since they typically have zero emissions.

Forty year old Cessnas aren't being flown by the really rich guys that have a shot at controlling regulations.

Think of the dangers that batteries pose in aircraft today. Those with a memory may recall the Dreamliner fleet being grounded due to battery fires. Then think of how dangerous they can be with twice the energy in the same volume.
Batteries are like rocket engines, in that they are a chemical reaction that has its oxidizer built into it. Unlike automobiles, there's generally no convenient way to immediately pull over and get out.

The G spot of the tiger is risky to look for. Find it quickly.

I'm sure they'll be charged, now.

Which is weird when you think about it, because at the end of WW2, the north end of Korea was the rich industrialized part with steel mills, etc.

Pro-life Republican.

If you can't trust an "internally decapitated" time-traveler, who can you trust?

Or at any rate that's what we'd like them to think.

Still, if you were a Chinese intelligence officer that was aware that the U.S. military had been shadowing your receiver during its overflight, how much would you trust the information you were allowed to acquire?

The Chinese seem to think the one shot down in South Carolina belongs to them, in that they've asked for it to be returned.

We used to have a 747 with a laser system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_YAL-1

Toward the end of that article, it mentioned a lower power, higher altitude drone version to fly in 2021. Maybe the Chinese were hoping for a capability demo.

I don't see that at all. The diplomatic corps of the Western countries giving aid have been holding them to continuous progress on eliminating the corruption. If anything, the war gives them more incentive to remove corrupt officials. Losing Western support loses them the war, of course, but so does not removing corruption.

They've been attempting to clean up their government about as long as they've been attempting to reform their military along western lines. The Western military equipment and training was dependent on them making progress. That was briefly in the news when Trump withheld some of the money.

If I had to guess, this a strategy so neither military gets too much power, and each can be used against the other.

What do the snozzberries taste like?

I would think that the weight savings would make them ideal for space applications.

A difference in cost wouldn't matter very much, and operating in a vacuum wouldn't need much in the way of protective coatings.

Amazing. Someone's finally came up with an idea to make small swept-area vertical axis turbines even worse than they would be standing alone.

Which is to obstruct them with other small vertical axis wind turbines.

I guess it depends on whether you want them to continue to be healthy children or not.
