I know that the glass cockpits (G1000s) in General Aviation aircraft use SD cards for the same purpose. Less dated, but overall pretty much the same thing

Jokes on you, I hate this song. Same goes for "It's the end of the world as we know it" by REM. I don't know why, but those two songs get under my skin

Not to say it's a bad song, but I absolutely hate it :)

Sometimes you just need to hold it in for a while (for unspecified reasons).

Yeah, doing the math I also get 6.7L/100km (assuming US Gal, which I presume is correct since they're using mpg). Also, looking at Wikipedia, it looks like the testing standards between the US and, say, the EU, can cause potentially a 1L/100km difference between the two, where the EU standards give a lower L/100km.

I've been waiting to unlock my zenfone 9 for around 6 months now, still holding out hope for the unlock servi e to be available by the end if the year, but honestly not expecting anything to happen. It so sad too, as this phone is nearly perfect for me outside of not being unlockable (currently(?))

They're an engineer, of course they don't get jokes

One reason why Autoland is mostly only used in low viz conditions is because that's when it can perform the best since there's mostly near zero wind in those conditions. Also, while planes have autopilot, it's dumb, so you have to program it beforehand, and there's definitely cases where it just doesn't want to work right and you have to hand fly. While it is certainly useful as an aid to flying, as it flies better than pilots, it most certainly can go wrong and the pilot will have to take over in special or emergency senarios.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk
