  1. Yeah, but for far too long they have listening to consultants that told them they have to cut costs to prop up stock price. Maybe the pendulum swing will go back to being more engineering centric and tell the business group to eat a bag of dicks. But we know what's going to happen. It rights the ship barely and then back to business.
  2. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/01/16/investing/boeing-stock-faa-investigation/index.html Oof. They brought in former head of NAVSEA08 to right the wrongs. Admiral Donald is the right person to get shit right. He is no nonsense and will tell these MBA business group people to get the fuck out of his way.
  3. I will happily admit that I am wrong. I like new technology and new uses. Glad the heat pumps are working out for you guys.
  4. Read about them for some future designs on cooling at work. Haven't seen them in action so I have no opinion on them.
  5. They size it for the 20 degree delta because thats where it is most efficient. You over size it then you're wasting efficiency and it's gonna use just as much energy as your typical HVAC.
  6. You were probably looking at the trading floor. They have everyone producing and every sector using. This morning a plant or two in Houston dropped out because of a blown transformer. One of those big boys. The wind is also lower than expected and 6-10 AM cloud coverage puts solar on the sideline for minute
  7. You don't have to believe me. The last place I lived in Seattle we had a brand new heat pump installed because govt incentives. It worked great for Seattle weather, but when that heat dome hit. (Temps 99 and above for 8 days). That thing was pretty much useless. The heat pumps are great for maintaining temperature but bringing temperature down was almost impossible. Hit that 31 days of heat y'all had last year and you'll bitch about the heat pump just the same way people in Eastern Washington do.
  8. Must have gotten one of them water filled warheads from China
  9. I used to be a really frantic cooker. Then I started doing mise en place. It takes a lot of the strain off of cooking.
  10. Because heat pumps in Texas would be extremely stupid and not effective at all.
  11. My garage door from inside
  12. So you're saying the Houthis wagon wheel is about to fall off?
  13. The temperature was inverted
  14. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/japan-ana-boeing-737-800-flight-turns-back-due-cockpit-window-crack-2024-01-13/ This is not a 900. It's a 40 year old plane. This should be blamed on the Nipponese. But Boeing will still take flak for it.
  15. Now where was I. They didn't have white onions at the time... because of the war
  16. If Alaska can safely land a plane with a hole in it. The Army can fly Apaches with salt deposits. This fucking generation has gotten so soft.
  17. Yeah and any helicopter can land on any flat top. It's just a matter of practice. The Seahawk variants with their ASW config might be able to carry a bigger payload than the Apache. It probably has been tested by us before but I bet Army and their Apaches were told to stay in their lane.
  18. They didn't attack Florida, but they were on the receiving end of some Tomahawks from the USS Florida.
  19. All Shias are Muslims. All Zaydis are Shias. Most Zaydis are Houthis.
  20. I walked outside to see what a -13 wind chills felt like. My clothes were fine. The wind kicking snow into my eyes was not fine.
  21. Herbie Hancock is a Doctor. What he didn't tell the pilot is he is a Doctor in Philosophy
