It’s an interesting plane. It is unstable in flight by design. Most aircraft default to flying straight and level and want to stay that way. The X‐29 is different. When it starts to pitch down the tiniest bit, it wants to continue and accelerate that pitch. So how does it not crash into the ground at the drop of a hat? Computers (triply redundant) correct for any deviation before it gets out of hand. That is, unless the pilot is commanding it to go that direction. Then the computers will let the pitch accelerate. This makes the plane extremely manœuverable, which is a great feature for a military æroplane to have. fakeedit: Or at leat that was the theory. Apparently it didn’t quite live up to promises.

Even if I didn’t like the haka, I wouldn’t say much about it because it means something to other people. I don’t make a habit of disparaging ceremonies like weddings, baptisms, and funerals.

Wildcats are badass. The only thing more badass is tussling with a cougar and choking her out, like that man in Colorado did. (not an innuendo)

JEEVES420 posted:From what I understand the light pollution caused by starlink is from the initial deployment of the satellites and not them floating around up there. It’s them floating around, it’s just that they’re significantly closer to the surface of the Earth at deployment than at operational orbit. They’re problematic throughout their lives but especially bad in their first weeks. Unfortunately, with such a large constellation and low service life, we can expect that at any given time, there will always be newly launched, extra-bright satellites up there to replace one set or another. Beachcomber posted:We went to Death Valley looking for that kind of experience. Guess we should have gone farther. Altitude is good. The less air and dust between you and the stars, the better. Death Valley is pretty bad. Many nearby mountains are very good. As a footnote, the historic observatories of Southern California are situated on mountains that frequently experience temperature inversions, where air is warmer on the mountaintops than in the valleys below. This is good for astronomy because it tends to result in calm air. These same temperature inversions trap smog over the cities nowadays. Temperature inversions are of interest when using telescopes. For looking at the sky with the naked eye, turbulent air doesn’t much matter.
