Boom Supersonic is doing fantastic work.

Read their webpage. It's a bare-bones website full of investment opportunities including the opportunity to buy a Concorde Crypto coin, with zero information about any actual aircraft.

Any, ANY modifications to an original Concorde airframe would require a complete and full recertification program, including certifying for operations at 60,000 ft that the original Concorde was not certified for.

This is most likely a Crypto scam.

The "Fly Concorde" claim is a scam. There are no legitimate plans for the Concorde to return to service, and any such claims are likely related to a cryptocurrency scam or other fraudulent activity. Flight tracking websites are reporting that these claims are not true. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Explanation:

• Concorde's Retirement: The Concorde, a supersonic passenger airliner, was retired in 2003 due to high operating costs, noise pollution concerns, and a fatal crash in 2000. [4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6]
• Scam Activity: A Facebook post claiming Concorde is returning is linked to a crypto scam. Other reports indicate that the claims are not true and are likely part of a hoax or scam. [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4]
• No Legitimate Plans: There are no legitimate plans for Concorde to return to service. While there are some efforts to develop new supersonic airliners, they are not related to the original Concorde. [4, 4, 7, 7, 8, 9]

Key points to remember:

• Be cautious of any claims about the Concorde returning to service. [1, 1, 2, 2]
• Verify information from multiple reliable sources before believing any claims. [3, 4]
• Do not trust claims related to cryptocurrency or investment opportunities associated with the Concorde. [1, 1, 2, 2]

This article is absolute nonsense.

There is no way on God’s green Earth that a new composite version of the Concorde can be designed, built, and certified for passenger operations by December 31, 2026.

2036, maybe, but not any of the 2020s.

Thank you for keeping Chode's memory alive with your work on his Memorial Wall, and thank you for filling his very large shoes with keeping the F1 threads going, but most importantly of all thank you for being such a good FRiend with Chode over the years.

Even if we never meet in person, we build very strong and lasting bonds here on FR with our fellow FReepers, and I know that Chode was very appreciative of your fellowship over these years.

You missed:
Hand - 4”
Stone - 14 lbs
Cubit - varies but approx 1/2 cu. meter

Wow, 24 inches feet? That’s what, like a fathom?

I was in Mtn. Home ID in 1980 and it was snowing in the mountains on the Fourth of July.

Zelenskyyyy needs warm bodies, so this money would go to buying mercenaries.

As promised, pouring one out for Chode, may he be resting as comfortably as possible, and praying that he will be in a much larger and better paddock when the Lord calls him home.

Since they were under arrest, the IDF could have braced their necks and proped their eyelids up, a la Clockwork Orange. Oh, well. Maybe next time.

My thoughts exactly.

Batteries Plus is a good place to find oddball batteries. If the store doesn’t have it in stock, they can usually have it ordered in.

Only drawback is that they’re a bit pricey on common batteries.

It would be if it violated other parts of the Constitution, wouldn’t it?

Nope. The newest amendment would supersede the older provision.

Remember Prohibition? The 18th Amendment prohibited the manufacture, sale, or transportation of alcohol.

The 21st Amendment nullified the 18th.

I also assert that the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments are not law. This assertion includes the 18th, 19th, 23th, 24th, and 26th Amendments.

It is impossible for a Constitutional Amendment to be 'unconstitutional.'

If your assertion involves how some or all of those amendments were ratified, then that's a different argument.

FFS, can we not go on CNBC and complain and just figure this bill out like adults???

Elon Musk needs to hear the same message.

“Hang on a bit, Russia. Give us 7 years to build a new attack submarine before you start any wars, OK?”

Thank you for the update. Prayers up for Chode!

Keys are made of Brass. Brass for keys contains up to 2.5% lead to make it more machinable (easier to cut the teeth.)

The test was conducted between the Beretta 92F and the Sig Sauer P226. Not surprisingly, the Sig won the test......

Beretta dropped its bid by 18 percent. Beretta was awarded the contract, and the M-9 pistol was chosen.

Ironically Sig did the same thing to Glock when the Army selected the P320 over the Glock 19X for the M17 contract. Glock beat the Sig, but the Sig was lower cost.

You two beat me to it!
