Sorry for being unclear, but I was referring to the 14,000 feet and 300mph

A Møøse once bit my sister...

Very appropriate. RIP Terry Jones.

That was part of the message of your originating post.

Sometimes I repeat myself.

Also, not sure if I mentioned it but sometimes I repeat myself.

It appears that my last visit here was in Feb. 2017. Have I missed anything???

Did you slip into a coma?

This thread needs to be retired. Is there not some other thread that people can discuss what they wish to rant and rave about besides a worn out topic such as this? If not, start one and get rid of this stupid, in my opinion, thread. Honestly, I can tell you of 9 different people I know in Texas that have purchased a different camera system just because they saw this thread as a guest! AS A GUEST!!!!!! Even if it is satire. Time to move on people.... And this is only people that I have first hand knowledge of....Kill this thread and move on to the present, its 2020 now....or do you wish to keep Pentax/Ricoh [ and anyone who has invested in the Pentax system decades ago, such as myself ] hostage to a thread started by 1 person 6 years ago [ or however long ago this thread was started ] even if in jest? It is ok to critique any camera system but this thread now can be described as a nothing but a “Kardasian” gossip Facebook site....Wonderful.....

Hi

It's a long established rule in this thread that, in order to post here, you need to read all previous posts and sit a 473 question test. Tests are on Fridays, behind the shed, at neveroclock.

Have a wonderful day.

Kind regards,
Mark

PS: Just joking. The test is real easy. The correct answer to near every question is "bacon".

Carbon fiber mostly. Some of the filler panels along the trailing edge and leading edge of the wings are fiberglass (still a composite).



The 787 is almost all carbon fiber. The fuselage, wings, interior structures such as floor beams and floor panels, etc.

When will you guys start building bicycles? I'd like me a Boeing bicycle!

My dad had alzheimer's, and his dad before him. I'm worried that one day I may get it myself, but the thing that scares me most is that I may one day get alzeimer's. Both my grandfather and father had it, so I may get it too.


*okay, I really shouldn't joke too much about this, but I did know someone with some degree of dementia who would make similar jokes.

They had Worksman industrial bicycles for getting around the factory when I started there. But too many numbskulls kept having accidents, so they got rid of them and got Worksman tricycles. Heavy, (mostly) single speed tanks, with baskets or trunks.

I guess manufacturing their own bikes just didn't cross the minds of those who engineer the workplace.
