This is a TRANSLATIONAL problem...

Not a ROTATIONAL one...

Get with the program...

Maybe THAT'S why you're having such a hard time with it....

Because a lot of non-engineers think they know stuff?

This thread confirms that engineers are caught up on theory and have a hard time stepping into the real world where the rest of us live.

Hey guys - not everything is a math problem!

At this point I've pretty much lost track of who thinks the plane won't fly and those who think the conveyor is moot.

All courtesy of a bunch of theoretical nimrods....

The engineers KNOW the conveyor is moot...

But, that hasn't seemed to mute the non-engineers...

I'll admit I was wrong in thinking it wouldn't take off. It probably will, but you never know.

But the funny part is seeing how pissed the engineers are getting at those of us who said it wouldn't. They've posted 19 pages of "YOU PEOPLE ARE F'IN MORONS!!! I'M AN ENGINEER AND I KNOW!!!"

Makes you wonder what happens when something of real importance happens in the life.

I'm still trying to figure out what that signature means, and then I get distracted from the argument at hand.

First of all you don't "blow" chronic.

Unless I am way too old and this is a new term or something.

And the useless amount of carriage returns after the quote??


Sorry...that apparently is a texags quirk...not CRs in my sig, thank you....

And I don't care if the terminology is correct...

I found it amusing...especially on the B&P....

And...one more time, especially for MKF...

The sad thing is...that after 19 pages of FBDs 'splainin how it works...

There's still folks who've read the thread and don't believe it...

This is a test. If this had been an actual signature, you would have been instructed where to tune in your area for news and official information. This confirms this test of the signature broadcast network.

Well, you're certainly not going to stop out of your own volition... and your posting history suggests you'd do it anyways, so you're not really doing it to spite me now...

There is nothing to create lift under (and over)the wings, so it won't take off. It is occupying the same space, the wheels are just rolling.
