Light aircraft has only one drive propeller. According to my knowledge there is no additional stabilization drives to the back of its body.

Also I meant levitating car, not a flying car. It suppose to levitate just 30-50 cm over the ground. Therefore there should be much less problems with wind turbulence.:

It's worse near the ground.

Also, where did I say anything about "one" - or "propellor"?

I believe they used to call the effect "Blue Balls".

 

Either charge cloud suppose to create some kind of traction between a car and road (something similar to quantum

locking). Or some additional small reaction drives have to be installed to correct the car right-left position.

It's not going to be that simple - ever tried landing a light aircraft in a serious crosswind?

There's a good reason it's called the 'Human Race', and that's because all humans are in it.

Your brain, being massless, could travel at the speed of light.

Why would you want to bring them back to life, would you have them as a zoo exhibit or dress them in a suit and put them on the underground, maybe they never went extinct.

Maybe because their brains were 25% bigger than ours?

US - Mexico Border.

US is on the left - Mexico on the right.

And they never, ever think of how it's going to handle side winds.

Never understood how anyone can survive in the modern world at all without a basic knowledge of physics.

I haven't seen the sort of toilet that has a seat for years. What a filthy, unhygienic contraption.

That's an insult to the many marines who faithfully serve their country.

Never heard that one before - I was thinking in terms of Jughead in the Archie comics.

Shouldn't it be spelled 'Jarhead'.

I learned to read enough French in a couple of months to pass my pilot's exam first time. I couldn't really speak it at all until about 2 years later.

Running machinery, equipment and tools...

 

Compressed air has it's advantages and disadvantages over alternatives...

It is one of many ways to get dynamic motion...

As a pilot, I have to say 'Roger' to that.

I would think that anywhere there is machinery is going to need a compressor for one reason or another.

Is this the kind of thing you're looking for?

Exactly like everything else from MacroShaft then

 

But that's American.

I was pretty sure it wasn't English.

really imponderable plurals such as rhinoceros (-> rhinocetera).

Don't know if it's still true, but Micro$oft Publisher used to think the plural of rhinoceros was 'rhinoceroses'.

Found that out when one of my students was searching for flower clipart for a Valentines Day card.

Pressure testing the De Havilland Comet - from: http://www.tech.plym.ac.uk/sme/Interactive_Resources/tutorials/FailureCases/sf2.html

"Water was used for this pressurisation because calculations had indicated that the energy release under cabin rupture with air as the pressurisation medium was equivalent to the explosion of a 500 lbf bomb in the cabin."

Shape is also critical - spherical will always be strongest.

And where are you going to put the material that is removed?

It depends on what you consider legitimate. Some would argue that the whole premise of an IQ test isn't legitimate.

 

That being said, the most ''legitimate'' way is to find a mensa location near your location and take a test. Second best would be to take the internet mensa IQ test:

I played around with the MENSA tests many years ago - unless they've improved them considerably, the last few sections were very much aimed at finding whether you "went to the right kind of school, old boy." (to be said in a phony upper crust English accent).
