They all use the same models, and its a bit too early to model this one after the Straits of Florida. Still, if you want to see the steering currents, this one works. https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-103.58,13.13,302 You can rotate the earth to desired location, and double click inside the globe to zoom. Press the "earth" thing at the bottom left to change altitude.

Not to be a wet blanket, but I've seen area 51 many times during my active duty Navy days. We used to call it "The Box," because on charts of the Nellis military area it always was depicted with a box. Only saw one thing of interest. One day I was just north of it and I saw a missile launch. I was pretty sure it was an AMRAAM, and it made a wicked 90 degree turn. just after launch. Pretty impressive.

I'm happy you got it for $800. I'm simply stating what people who do this for a living value it at. My son spends about half a million per week on used cars for his company, and that is what they value it at. The bottom line is that Audi timing chains are very expensive. If you buy one near the 90k number, you will likely get a discount, because everybody, ex the retail buyer, knows. Same goes for Carfax. Neat service, but it isn't what people who buy vehicles at that volume and risk level use. They inspect it themselves, and pay people to do those evaluations and price them.

Timing chain at 90k, and its about $1500. My son is a buyer for Carmax, and proximity to the 90k number is a big part of the appraisal. Other than that, should be pretty safe.

You might need to do a bit of work on the subject of "tax cuts for corporations."

For what it's worth, from a site I follow closely, the pilots site from my airline. "Able to spend some time talking to son this morning as he can catch his breath for a moment after some challenging days flying SAR in Houston. He's a USCG pilot stationed in New Orleans and has been in Houston since last Friday morning. Felt great to hear his voice, knowing that he would be challenged as never before. Heroic doesn't scratch the surface, and I don't mean that just for him, as a proud dad, but it's the only appropriate word to use for all the people stepping up in this disaster. ATC--- to hear him talk about tower controllers at Bush and Hobby; I apologize for every time I muttered about a heading and a speed reduction. He could not say enough for what those folks did to keep A/C separated and provide timely information to task saturated crews. Son said it was the same voices on the radios for hours, probably trapped at the airport with families and property of their own to be concerned about. Aircrews--- rescue swimmers, flight mechs, PJ', To hear the stories of what some did--impossible to convey here, but again, hero's every one. Training---He said they've been crewed not just with other Nola crews but folks from Houston, Corpus, Miami. No problem, standard up and down the line. Most of what he had to offer was praise for everyone involved, rescuers and victims alike. He's my first son, kinda quiet and unassuming. Today is his birthday, he forgot that till we wished him a happy one. Total rescues for he and his crews to this morning, 41 people and 3 dogs. An unbelievable sight from the air, he said. Houston will be forever changed and I'm sure he will be too after these past days. Prayers for all in the aftermath." This is a pretty good country.

If you're going north, my place.

Looks like a tough one. For anyone with a more than causal interest in weather, here is a link I used in my career, which shows winds at various altitudes around the world. https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-103.58,13.13,302 I was primarily interested in the 250 hectopaschal chart, which was about 34,000', and the best indicator of the jetstream. In this case, it really points out the counterclockwise flow around this intense low. The default is surface winds, but you can change the altitude by selecting the "earth" thing at the bottom left, and then changing height, expressed in hPa. If you look at the 850 hPa option, (about 5000'), you can really see the energy it is pulling in. Additionally, you can zoom in and rotate the earth to anywhere you want. Pretty cool site, but it really shows this Harvey hurricane.

I'd be more inclined to wait for the results of an investigation. Still, another F-14 back seater bites the bullet.

Metastasis stage.

Are you serious?

Not to quibble, but given the nature of the weapons, I doubt any radar delivery would have been acceptable or approved, and Berlin summers are not too bad. In addition, Germany was already occupied by Allied forces. The real goal of these weapons was to prevent the massive casualties resulting in a Japanese mainland invasion.

Nagasaki. Components delivered by air.

I believe the key to finding it was the discovery that another Navy vessel had spotted and logged a sighting of the Indianapolis on the evening she was sunk. That changed the search area, but still included about 600 square miles. Such a tragic event. Thank goodness there were as many survivors as they recovered. http://www.witnesstowar.org/combat_stories/WWII/1883

But not for that reason. I read through the thread and backed up to your post, that was the first link I came to, while backing up, and it is silly. Not that complicated.

Didn't ignore them, just didn't read them. When you read the first one, and it's crazy, you respond. I don't have the time to read every link in this forum. Sorry.

Epic stupidity combined with total ignorance.

Clearly, you should be a consultant. It would make it so much easier for the rest of us.

Really? What is "Bandcamp?'

Thanks for clearing that up. If you want to ask a question on a message board, it saves time if you ask the question and indicate who it might be directed at. To answer your question, the city tried to move the event to an area that would make it much easier to control. That petition was opposed by the ACLU and the Rutherford Institute and struck down on Friday, the day before the event. I am unaware of any "stand down" orders from the scores of law enforcement jurisdictions, (probably over 20), from what I saw. Gross ignorance. Other than walking up the Marshall Law ladder, your post demonstrates ignorance.

Are you asking me?

What would satisfy you? I can write about it from its genesis. A black high school kid said the statue offended her. Momentum developed to remove the statue and change the name of the park. Most of us, me included, thought such a thing was stupid. This is a college town. For those who have never lived in college towns, they are always a bit weird. So, by a one vote margin, the city council decided to remove the statue. No big deal. Enter the national wacko Nazi white supremacy group and the equally loony left wingers. Give them a location to face off. This town did everything possible to prevent it, including losing a court petition to keep them apart. Bottom line is that there is no possible way to prevent people who are determined to hurt, and driven by hatred, to stop what they are going to do. Sad as the loss of one life is, and the injuries, this is nowhere near the events of the Rodney King thing in LA, or countless other events. No property damage. No looting. Long response shortened,... I am on the opposite side of the political spectrum form the Charlottesville City Council, but they did their absolute best to avoid this.

I don't think you have any clue to make such claims, but that is normal for folks of your ilk. Married on Treasure Island, (both Naval Officers), lived and worked in the Bay area for the first few years of our marriage. My wife ended her nursing career because her income with mine would put us over then 50% state and federal marginal rate with minimal day care, so we decided to leave instead. Third greatest decision I've ever made. If you want to throw stones about bad local gov, anyone in California should be the last, but oh well. I do remember on particularly funny thing though, and you brought up the jurisdiction. The City Council of Berkeley decided to vote into law an ordinance that would prevent any Berkeley police officer from responding to any violence originating at a protest at UC Berkeley. Someone had the temerity to ask what would happen if a protest on campus turned violent and lives were at stake. The city stated they would rely on neighboring municipalities to provide police response. A day later, those "neighboring municipalities" stated that they would tell the Berkeley City Council to screw themselves, and would not respond. The rest of the country is quite interested in following legislative and judicial examples from the Golden State. God Bless.

I haven't given you any whatever, whatsoever. I have responded to your posts, and your posts don't display a knowledge of what happened, before or during. To your latest, a city is not run by judges. Certainly not this one, but that is another civics class. What you have stated is condemnation of how this was handled based on an accusation of how the state of Virginia should have learned from Berkeley. You have absolutely no idea what their strategy was. nor what it was based on. Nothing. You have no idea how many jurisdictions were involved, state wide, and there were well over ten, probably over twenty. You, evidently, had no idea that a judge denied the petition to move this to an area that could have allowed authorities to keep the two idiotic groups, determined to incite, away from each other. If you invite a stranger who is obsessed with hatred to come into your home with an incendiary device, and you then invite someone to join in with a match, and further deny a petition to prevent it, don't scream at the firefighters who try to put out what is inevitably going to happen. And regarding where I live, the greatest decision I have ever made for my family was to leave the great state of California. Charlottesville is a tremendous place to live. Named the best place in North America a few years back by some silly survey. Trouble comes when lunatics use it as a spot to demonstrate their lunacy.

Geez. You are so smart. It's really unfortunate that the judge who rejected the city plea that the "event" be moved to an area where this could have been done, and which was the exact intent of the plea, didn't consult you. But, alas, the judge did what he did for the reasons he did. Instead, it was allowed to occur in an area where such separation was impossible. Market yourself to district judges as a "riot preventer," because they haven't figured it out yet.
