  1. Those thrusters aren't rocket engines requiring fuel. They are compressed air. What is special about this car isn't what it is. It is what it represents. Hook
  2. Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot" is a series of detective short stories. (I'm typing this from memory. Someone may need to fact check me.) :) Hook
  3. "The quote "Don't take the Lord's name in vain" is famously spoken by Duo Maxwell to Heero Yuy in the English dub of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing."
  4. Of course in the original franchise it was 1997. Oh well. :)

  6. This is well worth watching. The shelter looks nothing like the thumbnail picture; it's basically a 8x8 foot square box. This is somewhere I could live if I had to. Thanks for posting. Hook

    It's two different cats. I had the same problem. Hook
  8. I used to read the Believe it or Not in the newspaper, but it did kinda go downhill. It got to where I was calling it Ripoff's Believe it or Else. The page shown above was published in Mad Magazine. "Serutan" was a laxative and the "Serutan spelled backward is Natures" was their main advertising slogan. Hook

  10. Well, when I wasn't sure if this was real I googled "Fourth of July flyover". If Google gives you hives, there are other search engines. :) Hook
  11. This is going to be amazing. Hook
  12. Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. I have a favorite story from that game. When I was in the 6th grade, the school library had a book on the Me-163 Komet rocket powered interceptor. My best friend and I loved it. When I got SWOTL, I got my chance to fly it. Even with just 8 minutes of fuel, you could do a lot. I was able to do several passes on the B-17 enemy aircraft, then glide back to base when out of fuel. One time I flew back to base and just sat at the end of the runway and watched. My wingman came in too high, bounced off the end of the runway and blew up. RIP, Hans. Sometimes it's the littlest things that make the biggest memories. Hook
  13. Weyland-Yutani Corporation?? Hook
  14. Thank you for finally fixing this. Hook
  15. Yes. Push the left "button" and it marks the forum read, then you get a blank response box. Hook
  16. Mark forums read is missing all of its text. This includes the dialog box and all the notifications. Note: I'm on desktop and Chrome browser. Hook
  17. Welcome to Avsim, @Arirnnam! I like your avatar. Should fit in nicely here. Hook
  18. His "Ai girlfriend" tends to be a bit sassy.
  19. I enjoy his channel for its entertainment value. Hook
  20. Welcome to Avsim, @Thinssup 😄 Hook
  21. I really, really, really hope this is fake. Hook

  23. Richard, my man, you should know that clients are lousy at describing what they want, and AI is ruthless in following their directions. Our jobs are safe. AI might be able to generate code, but it will still need a human to review it. Code generation is, after all, both a science and an art. The AI might be able to provide the "science" part. I'm certain that the "art" will forever be beyond its capabilities. "AI accidentally made me believe in the concept of a human soul by showing me what art looks like without it." Hook
  24. "That's OK Billy, we'll make you a new daggett." -- Battlestar Galactica It might be the right size and shape, it may make appropriate moves and sounds... but it'll never be able to replicate a real one. But hey, why not? Hook
