I agree with Jonathan. It seems to be a very low-tech, solid steel ring gear assembled and riveted together from 4 distinct parts. Not very aero-spacey at all...

Maybe that was the "rumbling" they all heard! lol

Cowlings are generally thin aluminum or composite materials, never steel. Cowlings are considered "fairings", generally to smooth the air-stream in and around the engine.

Approximately 8' diameter (other commenters pointed out a more reasonable size) solid steel ring gear (riveted together from 4 parts). Doesn't look anything like a "separation ring", and certainly isn't large enough

Wow, that little? I LOVE Firefox. I guess that market share should either make me feel real good, or quite lonely...

I am new here, but can I ask a serious question? How does a question like this even get listed?? Or responded to? I really would like to know the system here.

Because you've just learned that THESE are the real people that are HN readers, and THIS is what is important to them. (sadly, IMO)

But, will blockchain fix the laziness and nepotism within the government? (along with myriads of other "fails")

And if a thermostat is conscious, then so would an alarm clock be...

by jamieplex 2y ago
Except that a thermostat doesn't "follow" anything. It is basically a binary response state: on or off (or high and low). Nothing further. Analog or digital, it doesn't follow anything.... It reacts instantly at a setpoi

Either you are not from the USA, are trolling, or don't really know the U.S. medical system. Yes, maybe a few private practice doctors are greedy, but generally, doctors "in the system" don't personally generate more fun
