Reminds me of the Sid Caesar cab story as told by Brooks

Has anybody considered that this might be the gateway to Hell?

I loved the willow tree in our backyard when we bought the house and loved getting away from the willow tree when we sold the house.

He wore it on his belt, which was the style at the time.

Lilo & Stitch is the best Disney movie ever. The upcoming live action one will, however, be terrible.

Some do. More on iOS. Serious gamers don't from what I can tell.

Other than gaming and maybe 3D or video editing, there's little reason to upgrade. PCs plateaued - most people upgrade when something breaks or they have so much crud on the old one they want to replace it. Apple's switch to the M1 was a big step in both speed and battery life, but it isn't worth upgrading to an M2 from an M1, plus their prices for RAM and SSD upgrades are crazy.

Yeah, it's always a contest to stay ahead. Armor led to anti-tank weapons which led to ablative armor which led to molten warheads which lead to reactive armor, etc, etc. I remember when I first heard about reactive armor and couldn't decide if it was brilliant or idiotic.

You can block GPS easily enough, although motion sensors can help guide a drone too. You can have IR cameras but your targets can shoot IR light into the sky to mislead the drones. I'm not sure if you can send enough raw EM radiation into the sky to disable cheap drones - wouldn't surprise me.

It might work once, like the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, but never again.

They were fine. Not high fidelity or anything, but fine. The noise of the engines was the biggest drawback and the earplugs weren't always comfortable.

You can buy a Raspberry Pi for $4 that has more than enough processing power. An IR camera adds another few dollars. The servos and grid fins would probably be the most expensive part. Apparently dumb grenades cost only $50-100, though.

I see a future where one party launches 10,000 kamikaze drones (whether anti-personnel, high explosive, or incendiary) to start or end a war.

Maybe even give them "smart fins" and IR cameras so they hit the target more often.

If you haven't seen it, I suggest Life of Brian. It's still wacky, but more meaningful and better packaged than their tv show or other movies.

I remember when Dan Ackroyd said "slut" on SNL in the 70s and we were astonished.

and Happy Days has two parents, sort of:

1. Love and the Happy Days on Love American Style
2. American Graffiti (the similarities are many, including Ron Howard and Cindy Williams)

UMich’s fight song, The Victors, still refers to the team as “Champions of the West”.

Plus the satellite would have to be engineered to handle 6Gs of force compared to 3G in a normal flight, and it most likely would need to be waterproofed somehow.

Differential gps is much more accurate.

When I had my first kidney stone they gave me Demerol. I went from wanting to die from pain to flirting with the nurse in about three minutes. Wonderful stuff. The second time they gave me morphine, which was also good but constipating, and then Dilaudid, which almost stopped my breathing by the time it became effective.

In all cases they tried Toradol first, which was worthless.

The same reason our rockets used German designs. It’s the fastest way to get started. If not for the private company SpaceX, the US would be way behind Russia and China in launch capacity right now.

It’s not pride. It’s reality. My US-based engineering school is now 25% Chinese. The first generation of US-trained engineers has returned home and China is now training more engineers than we are.
