true, but I guess I have never heard of an 8' diameter rocket before...

ok....

sorry, I estimated from the grainy footage. Relax, man...

sorry, I copied the other guy...

I agree with Jonathan. It seems to be a very low-tech, solid steel ring gear assembled and riveted together from 4 distinct parts. Not very aero-spacey at all...

Maybe that was the "rumbling" they all heard! lol

Cowlings are generally thin aluminum or composite materials, never steel. Cowlings are considered "fairings", generally to smooth the air-stream in and around the engine.

Approximately 8' diameter (other commenters pointed out a more reasonable size) solid steel ring gear (riveted together from 4 parts). Doesn't look anything like a "separation ring", and certainly isn't large enough. Plus it is solid steel. I am kinda doubting the whole story at this point. No way it is from a rocket (too heavy, too low-tech, no ring gears in rocketry), and doubtful from any commercial aircraft (again, too low-tech and too heavy).

Wow, that little? I LOVE Firefox. I guess that market share should either make me feel real good, or quite lonely...

I REALLY liked the part about preparing cakes with AI... Makin' me hungry just thinking about it.

Ouch! Looks like they totally botched the reduction.

I am new here, but can I ask a serious question? How does a question like this even get listed?? Or responded to? I really would like to know the system here.

Because you've just learned that THESE are the real people that are HN readers, and THIS is what is important to them. (sadly, IMO)

I can't! I don't have enough 'cred'!! lol

lol!

But, will blockchain fix the laziness and nepotism within the government? (along with myriads of other "fails")

Lol, yeah, there is that...

Well, that's definitely an interesting take...

Yikes! He wanted $25 for a fish screensaver 35 years ago!! Wild!

Welcome to the new world order... sadness

Happy Gnu Ears, Y'all!!

And if a thermostat is conscious, then so would an alarm clock be...

Except that a thermostat doesn't "follow" anything. It is basically a binary response state: on or off (or high and low). Nothing further. Analog or digital, it doesn't follow anything.... It reacts instantly at a setpoint. Would you think an alarm clock is "following" the time, and turns the alarm on at the set time? Or is it a momentary switch at a setpoint....

Merry Crispness, and Happy Gnu Ears

Also, by the time you find that button to turn it off, Apple already has the info it wanted...

Now THAT is true grit....

Funny. I came here because of the same reason the first 5 commenters had: Very confusing word usage...

To you too!

Merry Christmas! Just remembering playing with our new Commodore 64, Christmas Day 1982. Good memories.

Either you are not from the USA, are trolling, or don't really know the U.S. medical system. Yes, maybe a few private practice doctors are greedy, but generally, doctors "in the system" don't personally generate more funds by doing things different, prescribing more drugs, etc. They are on salary. As far as other types of doctors (eg. chiropractors), they DEFINITELY drive home more money by prescribing more, requiring return visits, etc. But I call them doctors only by the loosest of definitions.

I am baffled by your second paragraph. It is just plainly illogical.

The third paragraph tells me that you ARE possibly from outside the USA, or that you have only seen a few doctors and they were proud or rude. We (personally) have seen private doctors, hospital doctors, country doctors, etc. over 50 years (at least 50-60 different ones). And the preponderance of our evidence shows you are either misinformed, or you are a patient who wants to self prescribe treatments that are medically unsound or 'fringe'. And, yes, those WILL be ignored by any average doctor. But then you could always fly to Mexico and get those useless treatments for low cost...
