That doesn't explain why they took the SR-71A off display. What would they need the actual plane for? They must have enough engineering diagrams to build up computer models for whatever new plane they would design.
Why call up the old engineers?

Why call up the old engineers?
Like Four Seasons Total Landscaping or Tools For Humanity and Bruno Mars.
Maybe someone in power made a comment like "We need an awesome project like that futuristic black airplane from the 1960s" and through multiple layers of incompetency an effort to restore the SR-71A that had been on display in a museum for 26 years started.
And now its too far along for anyone to say it was a stupid misunderstanding.
Most of the time people conflate longer summer days with DLS.
The situation with dark mornings is winter not standard time.
My children are already waking to school in daylight this time of year prior to the switch to DLS.
As others have said. I would rather permanent standard time but I’ll take permanent DLS. Moving the clocks twice a year is insanity.
Fix the thing that is causing the most pain. Or is likely to cause pain in the near future.
This post caused me to go down a rabbit hole about CRT simulation.
Looks like it is a thing.
Leading up to it I tried to create the mystery for them that I remembered 25 years ago.
All of the mystery was destroyed with the featurette.
I was so annoyed and disappointed. But they enjoyed the movie so that was good at least.
The mini was a great form factor, fits in more pockets comfortably and the whole screen is within reach of my thumb when using the phone one-handed.
I had no intention of learning about ADB or crazy Apple USB power-on hacks but here I am having had a great time while doing just that.
10/10 would recommend and now this blog is on my reading list.
The people need to demand more from their elected officials but the two parties have done an outstanding job getting us to fight with each other so we forget how the corporations are controlling everything.
Then I remembered this isn’t slashdot and it isn’t 2001.
Now I’m reminded of how old I’ve gotten.
I now want Matt Parker to do a video about it.
He loves both spreadsheets and hexagons.
I’m very happy with the results. It confirmed my guess that a specific section gets more light over the year even though there is a bit more shade in the mornings until late spring.
It was annoying mental overhead to have to plan out the charging so often.
Three months ago we ran 240v to the garage and now have 12kw charging at home. It has been a game changer! We don’t have to think or plan around the charging. Every morning the car is at 75% (the limit we have set). And if we are going on a long drive I can move it to 90% or 100%.
I really regret not getting the level 2 charger years ago when we got our first EV.
Reminds me of the Megaprocessor project.
I didn’t see a way to delete my data but I don’t think they had much in the first place.
I did use the “deactivate account” option.
How can they leave it at “did something”. That is a very important part of the story.
There is a lot here that doesn’t make sense.
He had to drive for a long time to be able to call and wait for the police to arrive.
Too many things don’t seem plausible.
I don't really want to get a "full size" phone. My only hope is this phone lasts until the next SE refresh and that it is a decent phone.
People often have a harder time figuring out how to use the external door handles than getting out.
People more often find the manual door release before the automatic button.
I feel bad for the guy that got stuck but I think this is more of a panic situation where he felt there wasn’t a way out before trying to find the manual release.
[edit] to be fair both button and manual methods are very user friendly. They are both in very common hand resting locations. After you use the button once you never need to think about it again.
One thing to add is that range increases a lot when driving below 45 mph. For city driving we get a lot more range for the same cost.
Switching from a minivan to a Nissan Leaf for around-town driving was a huge cost savings per month.
Wouldn’t data over usb-c require a computer to drive it?
Looks like they ended up getting over $6m in funding. I can’t tell how alive they are but they received some FCC approval for the wireless connectivity in Jan 2022.
“So you are saying there’s a chance?”
What makes this more interesting is that he clearly believed it was safe. So he wasn’t necessarily unethical. It is more that he was a bad engineer and a poor judge of risk.
This sounds more like a mild correction not a crash.
I feel bad for people that overpaid at the peak though.
