In fishing they’re called Googans (no idea of the etymology), but I dislike the idea of gatekeeping in general. If someone’s doing something dangerous, or their googanism is somehow ruining your enjoyment of your hobby, I get it, but otherwise why should you care?

It’s not for it to be sterile, it’s to manufacture composite parts. They get vacuum bagged, then put into the autoclave and heated under pressure to bond all the layers extremely tightly.

In my experience a lot of shutoff valves on faucets, particularly shower and tub faucets, are flathead screws.

Worth keeping in mind his pension is definitely in stocks (and other investments too, of course). So he doesn’t own stocks, but the portion of the pension he owns is stocks.

F1 and NASCAR don’t. Plenty of other race vehicles do, LeMans for example.

You wouldn’t measure yaw by the pitot tubes. I suppose it’s theoretically possible, but it would be complicated and imprecise. Yaw is measured by a gyro (modern planes are a laser ring gyro rather than a spinny gyro). The pitot tubes would all feed into air data computers for various systems. Flight instrumentation would have at least three (redundancy and error checking) and the fourth could possibly be for weapons systems or something similar, not sure.

That is definitely not the Hunley. It’s a similar size, but a very different design.

Haha, no. Birds aren’t even real.

I’m sure a lot of sex workers make money while pooping.
