Lear jets have a T-tail. It's not hiding under the engines or anything, it would be plainly visible if it were there.

Hard no, but tinkering is fun. And being able to check from a distance without having to turn the car around or getting a friend to swing by your house for piece of mind is nice.

As long as you don't use the default password on your multimillion dollar installation because you're too cheap to pay for enough IT support, you're probably fine.

I'm not sure it's possible to convey how absolutely deadlocked any legal changes have become in the US. Jon Stewart fought for years to get September 11th first-responders the healthcare they were promised, it was a single page of extremely popular bi-partisan legislation.

Automation Dependency is a legitimate worry. Aviation has also been safer post-1997 than it was pre-1997.

Once upon a time the junior dev's job was to clean the mainframe and type up the punch cards.

It used to be that airliners had a captain, co-pilot, and engineer to manage the engines and other systems. With increasing automation and system reliability the engineer position was made redundant. No profession is safe from stagnation.

His crimes/actions are alleged. That he's "involved in the Epstein Files" is not.

Which is why it's important to transition to more of a focus making those things with it instead of just burning it as fuel.

That's the clip the person you replied to, is replying to. Carter's demonstration.

All of those are basically front-ends for the National Weather Service and other mostly(?) public institutions that have actual weather satellites and generate the actual data.

I'm a fan of Windy because it lets you choose and compare/contrast forecast models. You can even compare which model has been more accurate for your location in particular.
