I enjoyed it, but in Safari on iOS there was no sound at any point. I checked my device volume. I toggled the game option for sound on and off.
It just occurred to me that it may be because I have my phone ringer set to silent. That is indeed what caused it, which is not great as I don't want notifications to be making noise.
It also felt slightly too zoomed in (I even attempted to zoom out using my fingers).

I'm pretty sure that's the way it should be, isn't it? Whenever I want something/anything/everything to not make noise on my phone, I set it to silent. It's been that way since the very first iphone I ever owned (I think it was the 4).
Can you do that on webpages (which is what equinox.space is) without first pushing play or unmuting them? I know on youtube you have to unmute it first. I don't really go to any other music or video websites on my phone, so I'm not sure if they're all like that or not, but in my experience, webpages respect the ringer side button unless something is clicked to override it.
Sure, within the website I have to unmute it and up my volume to hear anything, but it's still playing without me having to switch off the physical DND mode button on the side of the iphone. My phone remains in DND mode and I still have no audible notifications.
Makes sense. As I said, emission testing is often not performed when the vehicle is being driven/under load. States could incorporate dyno testing, but its technical, complicated, and unsafe.
You are correct, the steering wheel approach is very smart... all I was suggesting was that dyno testing would limit the ability to defeat, but testing stations would also need to simulate more of the vehicles systems.
If the feature is removed, unattractive individuals will cry out that this will give genuinely attractive individuals a large advantage over them, widening the beauty gap.
Watching him be forced to buy Twitter was kinda funny at the time, but it's turned into a huge disappointment. I was really hoping to see the whole site completely implode, and then go out of business, and it hasn't happened yet. The world would be better off without Twitter (now "X"... ugh).
> Wasn't that why Vandenberg was fitted-out to launch shuttles?
I don't know about DoD operating their own shuttles with their own crews, but my understanding was that part of the pitch that got Shuttle approved was that they could do polar launches from Vandenberg to deploy Earth observation (read: spy) satellites. Or match the orbit of, observe, and even capture satellites belonging to other countries in polar orbits. It helped get DoD's backing for the program.
Being able to launch from Vandenberg as well as Cape Canaveral opens up more orbital options.
According to this [1] stackexchange answer, Discovery was built for use by the US air force, but seems to have been allocated to NASA after the loss of Challenger.
It also states that Vandenberg was never used for shuttle launches, which matches what I recall reading. I don't think the sts was ever put into a high-inclination orbit.
Wow, I never heard of that. There is an amazing discussion of how the astronauts didn't trust nasa. Plus the one guy not getting strapped in until they were pretty far down. They definitely thought they were goners. I wonder what they needed to use the shuttle for, that was too big, giant telescope or dish?
“In classified briefings, the crew presented a photograph of the classified payload to the unit commander for the mission, with the inscription "Suck on this, you Commie dogs"
