I don't know how they thought Pike's execution would be successful when it was a known quantity she had very narrow veins.

Interesting. So, over the ensuing decades, pilots never actually migrated to force-free controls.

This reminds me of something my grandad told me about when the aeroplanes flight controls were connected by tension wires and later changed to actuated. The engineers had to put some 'feel' or resistance back into the controls. Same thing will likely evolve with EV's, I guess. He apprenticed in 1936, so he worked with wood and canvas prop planes, through Lancaster and Vulcan.

Apparently, pulling your foot away from the accelerator too quickly makes the deceleration more annoying. Used incorrectly, it can feel like you are slowing down all the time. This is about the passenger's experience.

From what I've read about it, it might have something to with certain physically-sensed environmental cues being missing or diminished in EVs. Generative braking appears to add to the negative comments about EVs

I wouldn't imagine a safety-critical discipline, like naval nuclear work, would change procedures quickly.

I just started to learn to use a slide rule but pocket calculators were becoming a thing in the early 70's.

Reminds me of the 70's when someone said a computer is a glorified calculator. AI to me is a glorified search engine.

Apparently, an anti-knock agent is a must and only a suitable direct substitute will do.

Are you sure it's anaerobic in the space above the must?

It seems it might be aerobic acetobacter spp. 'Aerobic' is the clue to the solution.

'Cunt' rhymes with 'blunt', and that's Ireland.

An Irish welcome for Trump.

Interesting how many people are opting out of using their brains.

Trump actually did this in the Oval Office. When someone fell ill behind him and everyone was attending to the chap, Trump just looked straight ahead with a face of willful, care-free ignorance.
