Odd-Ball Picture of the Day

You just point them in the direction you want to move. You assume I meant spinning the rotor with them. The bigger question would be why would you need to create "lift" in space when directional force is all that is required.

 

Fine with me...I was never a proponent of rotor craft. One stroke engines are where it's at.

 

Wait...I made a terrible miscalculation that would kill us all. Point them in the opposite direction you want to move.

 

Your right I assumed ... you weaseled your way out of that one

 

And would it have Killed us ?? Or just moved us in the opposite direction

edit: don’t you “ point” a rocket in the direction you want to move

 

Depends. Were we landing or taking off? Which way was the treadmill running?

 

Damn you ... throwing new school rocket technology at an Old School Boomer

 

I think I'm needing clarification to further explore this profundity...

Is it two treadmills on a Moebius strip OR two Moebius strip treadmills?

 

I'm not a rocket scientist but when I'm not I am often on the BBS.

 

It depends on the temperature! Is it 4 below ?

 

The load in this thread has just increased significantly.

 

Nah. Pooh is filled with helium, too

 

Poo contains methane...Pooh's results may vary.

 

Someone, off shot, is holding a beer......

 

So, here’s how the dialogue goes with any of these pictures

Hello ABC tire company consumers affairs dept. how can I help you?
Consumer: Yes, I have one of your bad tires. It must be one from your gigantic recall and I need to get it replaced ASAP.
ABC Tire: Can you tell me what the tire model, size, and DOT code is please?
Consumer: Ahh no but you need to send me a tire ASAP.
ABC Tire: Where is the vehicle right now?
Consumer: It’s parked outside, and your tires suck and I’m going to say bad things on social media, then sue you. What’s your name buddy?
ABC Tire: We need you to get the vehicle to your OEM dealer or to your favorite tire store, please.
Consumer: Why it’s your tire? And why do I have to take it somewhere? I need to speak to your boss ASAP.
ABC Tire: Well tire inspections are always done by the dealer or your local tire store.
Consumer: But it’s your tire and I bought them on the internet? Can’t you send someone here or I’ll never buy your tires again?
ABC Tire: We need you to go locally to get it inspected to help you ASAP.
Consumer: You suck, and the wife said it’s not drivable.
ABC Tire: Are you a member of for example Triple A? They can send a flatbed over to deliver it to the local place of your choice. Once the car is there please have them call us.
Consumer: Hell, no those road club polices are too expensive. Can’t you send a truck to pick up my car?
The vehicle gets to the tire shop and it gets inspected and the tech calls in.
ABC Tire: So, the tire was made in 2004 and has about 2/32” remaining tread depth? And it’s been punctured, so your next step is to sell him a new tire, right?
Tire shop: Of course, but wait he wants to talk to you, right now.
Consumer: Your tire is defective dammit and replace it for free!
ABC Tire: Sir the tire is unsafe because the remaining tread depth is below the legal minimum, and it’s been damaged by running over something.
Consumer: You aren’t going to replace it under warranty? You suck.
ABC Tire: Is it possible that you bought the road hazard insurance that was offered to you at the time of purchase?
Consumer: Hell, no those are too expensive, and tire is defective and was recalled, you need to fix this? And if the consumer is an engineer/know it all type they may say this: I see the tire is steel belted so if it got punctured it’s obviously defective
ABC Tire: Sorry but no, then you hear a click.
