Id probably take up smoking just to show that off. Or maybe just teach him to operate a bottle openner.

Well its the way they taper down from a large bulb. The volume only changes by about 2% from 0 to 100C

Reply to comment by iwannagohome49 in TIL that in 2003, scientists "resurrected" an extinct species of Ibex, bringing back one living specimen, only for it go extinct again seven minutes later when the specimen died of a lung defect by mausoliam95
Its probably down to the difficulty of finding another ibex enthusiast with deep pockets to sponsor the research

Reply to comment by shingofan in TIL that flight recorders must be able to withstand an acceleration of 3400 g for 6.5 milliseconds and that this is roughly equivalent to an impact velocity of 270 knots (310 mph; 500 km/h). by IchBinKoloss
Typically interior stuff is rated for twice the Gs as the rest of the aircraft, so for civilian stuff that would be 18G ultimate.

Not financial advice:
Any lender can give you an FHA loan, it gives you rates comparable to a credit score around 750 (so little to no benefit for the top 50% credit percentile). They allow you to put only like 5% down but I believe there is a mortgage insurance fee of like 3% of the purchase price upfront
When you do get a mortgage look at zillow and bankrate to find competitive lenders and reach put to 7 or 8 of them so you can get your interest rate down

Reply to comment by ShEsHy in TIL the last B-52 Bomber produced for the US left the factory 10/26/1962 - the same day as the climax of the Cuban Missile Crisis - they're still used 60 yrs later. by GoGaslightYerself
Basically to get unlimited fatigue life with aluminum parts you need to keep the cyclic loading below 5% of ultimate.
So all the aluminum will eventually need to be replaced.
I don't know what the 'safe life' or a B52 is, but they estimate a number of hours/cycles for crack growth to begin and base maximums around that.
The air force does damage tolerance analysis too (for life after crack formation), but I think that started after the b52 program (and i cant remember details offhand)
