turboprops.
Lets return to the good old days pre-jet engines.

Well ... while the L-188 Lockheed Electra example is
a
turboprop,
the
above poster apparently didn't realize that a
turboprop engine
has a
jet
engine.

Discuss.

The large piston engines were incredibly complex,
and generally
could
drive airliners at only about half the speed of
those
with
the
pure
jet
engines.


yes, but they were so much more fun

Ok ok...totally *genius* idea: dirigibles.

Excellent. I'll sign on for a course.


Yeah, think on that for a while.

Its either that or the locomotive, chaps.

Only if it's a real one. i.e. Steam

No! Hell no!

And what pray tell is wrong with steam?

Steam locomotives? Everything.

Well man spit it out! Lets not play guessing games here!

Have you ever been on a working steam locomotive?

Not while its running.

They are very dirty (producing soot and ash. Very noisy.
(usually
about 90-105 dB. They get louder under full power)

Yeap. Coal fired mostly.

Most all locomotive engineers from the steam era were deaf.
and suffered breathing problems.

My granpa was one
Deaf as hell but no breathing problems...he didnt know who the
****
I
was later since he was all alzheimersy & stuff.

Most all locomotive engineers from the diesel era still
suffer hearing loss. Most all operating employees for
railroads with
more
than 10 years of service have some hearing loss. About ten
years
ago
the railroads started losing lawsuits over hearing losses and
started
a hearing conservation program. Too bad it was 27 years too
late.

YEah...back in the day it was a macho job and you didnt **** &
moan
about the conditions.

Biggest complaints from crews which still use those 1st and
2nd generation locomotives, noise and exhaust fumes in the
cab.

Ever seen a track weasel?


Mm, no. I seem to remeber hearing the term, though. What is it?


back in the olden days the trains toilet dumped straight onto
the tracks...the TP that persisted was called a "track weasel".




OK never heard of that. ANd now it's lodged in my head forever.
When will I learn?

Would the same thing happen if the blue ice sublimated leaving only
the residue floating in the air?

Didnt airlines used to just dump straight out the plane?
IIRC people & things were getting hit with GIANT ICEY TURD-CUBES.

shudder


Well, yes and no. There was a vent that sometimes woudl develop an
icicle, but it wasn't supposed to do that!

MOMMY MOMMY I FOUND A COMET!!!111!!!!

Do aliens use tampons???


What didyou think comets were? Surely the big string trailing behind
gave you a clue?
