  1. Yeah, the video talks about deflection shooting, and how the amount of deflection depends on the angle of attack of the fighters attacking the bombers (which depends on the location of the fighter relative to the bomber during the fighter's attack run). Explained it in pretty good detail, with animation, and then broke it down and just told them how much to adjust their aim (lead by x number of radii of the crosshairs) based on the angle of attack of the incoming fighter. I'm not a hunter or a gunner, but the video was fascinating. I could totally see a physics teacher using that video to teach relative motion.
  2. How many women actually live in this "community"?
  3. Shows/explains relative motion and independence of perpendicular motions very well. Made in the 1940s, just artists and engineers, drawing frame by frame.
  4. So the consensus is: Its good war pron. Combat Vets: Is it accurate or realistic war pron?
  5. Facebook how does it work? I think this is only true if you use a bail bondsman. The court refunds all the bail when you show for trial. Don't ask me how I know that.
  6. So, its like you fuck one pig one time, you're a pig fucker forever?
  7. see post above yours.
  8. I laughed out loud at this and wish I could take it back. I mean I wish I could take it back if anybody had heard me and knew what I was laughing at. Since nobody heard me, whatever.
  9. Sounds like ol Farmer Gilbert should have done his research. Moron. Also, 100% he voted for ThE DOtaRd, if he believes the supplier pays the tariff. Idoit. Fuck him. Go bankrupt. Stand in bread lines. I don't GAF.
  10. If that's true, then its also true I assume that posts you make on surly can be held against you? Oh shit.
  11. As the neighbor of a chicken owner, my dogs can confirm that chickens can in fact fly. At least until they land in my yard.
  12. Chaos? I am shocked. Well, not really.
  13. Excellent simile. Or is it a metaphor? Whatever, a clever turn of phrase. Pos rep.
  14. One time I listened to an entire half of a high school football game as I sat in line at the local DQ drive through.
  15. total guesses off the top of my head: reduced vision too hot too heavy smooth is actually better (why bike helmets are smooth nowadays, not rough like they used to be). come off during play look stupid TV can't see logos as well still in testing phase
  16. Massacre the MAGATs Rwanda style?
  17. I ate a "Space Cake" years ago on the train from Amsterdam to the airport. My psychotic break consisted of staring out the plane window at the pretty clouds for 6 hours. Maybe a drool of spittle or two at most. Anyway, still no excuse. Ban them from flying forever. Charge them for the lost cost of the airline. Charge them for assault. Edibles may be the reason, but that's not an excuse. (Not implying that's what y'all were implying.)
  18. That would probably be a better thread. "Where's the national outrage over crash davis's mom's giant ass!!?"
  19. Also, regarding the penis shape: The capsule that contains the "crew" has to be big enough for the "crew" to experience "weightlessness". Which means they need some room to float around in for a couple of minutes. If they just stayed strapped in their chairs, then the capsule could be smaller, with a diameter the same as the rocket booster. But then famous people couldn't do famous shit that the rest of us don't get to do, and what's the use of being a billionaire then? Bonus: a billionaire gets to troll everybody by launching a giant penis. In other words, its all bullshit.
  20. This is exactly correct.
  21. you can rent a refurbished 747 to experience the same thing you experience in that trip- free fall. Same thing you feel for a few seconds on the Guardians of the Galaxy ride at Disney World. But you don't go into "space" in the 747. Space being defined as 62 miles in altitude I believe, a fairly arbitrary height, although I'm sure there is some official reason why "space" begins at that height.
