  1. You live in our neighborhood too? 😁
  2. I forgot about Dudley’s. Damn it’s been a long time.
  3. No shit, he should’ve gone to Jucy’s or Butcher Shop.
  4. Serves you right for passing by Riverport BBQ in Jefferson and not getting a rack of ribs to go.
  5. Can’t wait until they find out you watched this on Netflix.
  6. Did you tell her to bring her own chair?
  7. From google: Multi engine aircraft usually have their engines off to either side of the fuselage. This means that if one engine fails, the other engine will produce what's called asymmetric thrust (one engine is stronger than the other). This in turn, because it's off to the side of the aircraft will cause it to yaw in the direction of the dead engine. Should the dead engine also have its prop windmilling, it'll cause more drag than if the prop blades were turned parallel to the wind and thus aggravate the situation by not only not producing thrust but actually acting as a speed brake. To counteract this and continue flying straight you'd have to apply the aircraft's rudder. The rudder is an airfoil sticking out into the wind in order to yaw the aircraft, thus if the amount of air flowing over it is reduced, the effectiveness of the rudder is reduced. This has the effect that there's a minimum airspeed (i.e. minimum amount of airflow over the rudder) that's enough to allow the rudder to counteract the asymmetric thrust as well as some other properties like engine torque. This speed is called 𝑣𝑚𝑐 v m c , or minimum controllable airspeed (there are actually two of these, one airborne and one on the ground). If speed drops below this airspeed, the plane will start to increase the yaw away from the live engine, to the point where eventually the outer wing produces more lift than the inner wing and the aircraft rolls over. That's the 𝑣𝑚𝑐 v m c roll. Avoiding it is a matter of keeping the airspeed up to maintain rudder authority, and/or reducing thrust to the live engine while regaining airspeed. Further steps, like identifying the failed engine and feathering its prop, as well as flying with a slight bank towards the live engine should be undertaken as well as part of the recovery. Furthermore it's advisable to never turn into the dead engine, as the live engine will make it harder to stop the turn. Turning into the live engine will make it harder to start the turn, but the engine will help you get out of it. Since the engines usually spin in the same direction, the effect of torque differs, the torque of one engine aggravates the situation, where the torque of the others alleviates it, thus 𝑣𝑚𝑐 v m c is specified as the minimum controllable speed if the latter (known as the critical engine) fails and the prop continues to windmill, i.e. the worst possible aerodynamic scenario in the case of a single engine failure barring an uncontained failure causing damage or otherwise changing the aerodynamic properties of the aircraft.
  8. Also, what did you eat 2-3 hours later?
  9. You took four kids to Paris? Holy shit I can’t imagine. Just taking my two to the pool is a shit show.
  10. Go ahead and buy it. I’ll take good care of it while you’re at Disney.
  11. My power was out for 12 hours the other day and my generator shutdown after 11. That last hour to hour and a half was pure hell on earth and you didn’t see me making a thread about it.
  12. @Markstanco we should drive over for this. Sounds like an awesome shit show.
  13. Be sure to get your rabies vaccination before you go.
  14. Let me know how it goes. I’m actually looking forward to taking my two in a couple years.
  15. No email yet, so I logged into the Masters website. Not selected again this year. I assume I’ll get the rejection email tomorrow.
  16. You mother fuckers should live in a hood where @marcstanco is HOA president. You would then see what fucked up is.
  17. That’s the way you humble brag.
  18. I don’t see Mrs. Stanco settling for the Super8.
  19. We took the kids to the zoo yesterday and my two year old wanted to ride the train (Chugga Choo Choo). A couple from Michigan got in the two cars behind us. Before the train took off, I heard the lady say “I thought it was humid in Michigan, this is worse.” I turned around and laughed while her husband shook his head. It was only about 90 and the humidity was not that bad.
  20. Negative. I can google. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Smart

    Shit My Kid Says

    My cousin and her husband are on their way to Great Wolf Lodge today. I screenshot your post and sent it to her. Can’t wait for the same thing to happen to her.
  23. Jesus Christ I miss that place. We actually pulled up to eat the day it burned and the place was engulfed in flames. I still weep a bit when I think about those hushpuppies.
