One Friday afternoon Telecoms tech was checking a remote unmanned exchange, one of the checks was to measure the levels on the analog multiplexer for the trunks to the main exchange, which acted as the brains for the dumb remote.
The procedure was to plug a 6.5 mm phone jack, attached to a large fixed meter into each channel at a time. Unfortunately, this chap grabbed the wrong hanging jack, this on having 50v exchange battery on it. He then proceeded to plug into each channel of the carrier system, and was mystified when there were no reading. As he plugged in the last channel, the exchange went totally silent. Whole exchange was down for 2 days.
Surely, you're utterly wrong. One takeoff can easily put enough bugs on the leading edge to destroy laminar flow. Heavy bug loads on the leading edge can easily increase drag by 30% over a clean wing. Glider pilots use mechanical wipers to remove the bugs in flight. Waviness of more than.005 inch is needed to maintain laminar flow. Once the flow becomes turbulent, drag rises considerably. Just washing the wings on the ground won't help.
NASCAR, some gay American race where they go round an oval track? Pathetic, F1 is real racing, NASCAR is racing for redneck incompetents who can only turn one way.
Reality is a bitch huh, we don't allow the average moron in Australia to have guns either, thank goodness. Americans really are stupid when it comes to guns.
The world certainly is infested, with uncaring assholes. Why not the rest of the world a favour and kill yourself, you would help make it a better more civilised place.

A legal system that elects judges is always going to fail.
The only ignorance here is from you quoting that vile nut job Rand, still your usual delusional crap so meh.
Yep, pathetic sycophants to authority like you are the scum of the earth.
Not me this one, but a classic.

Back in the early 80's, I took off a little too fast in my company station wagon, and $10k DTS Data Terminal hit the road hard. Ooops.

It's not weight, it's maintaining laminar flow. It only takes very small objects to turbulate the boundary layer, increasing drag considerably.
Sailplanes have used mechanical bug wipers for many years.
Ah, another micro dick racist wanker eh? Go away pathetic weenie.
Your just another idiotic American gun nut. We who live in places where idiots aren't armed pity your delusions.
You just know this thread will be full of denialist crap, repeating the same debunked talking points.
Thanks, I nearly understand now! I'm no rocket surgeon!
Another denialist half wit. You morons are fiddling while the world burns.
What you don't understand is the harm the diseases prevented cause. Way more than vaccines do. You sound like a typical anti vax moron.
Way to prove the posters point about bigotry. What a dumbfuck. Which part of the US are you from, such idiocy usually comes from Americans.
Modded down for telling the truth apparently
It's obvious the islamaphobe AC is the biogt here, using the same tired lies and distortions. Yawn, another fuckin idiot.

Ah, good old Mike, ignoring reality to push another moronic line.
The world certainly is infested, with uncaring assholes. Why not the rest of the world a favour and kill yourself, you would help make it a better more civilised place.
Another revenge and violence crazed American, yawn. Uncivilised assholes.
You're an idiot, who doesn't know there are no charges.
Yeh, repeating lies is your specialty shill.
