It’s okay and probably a niceness to quote a posting with a picture in it and eliminate the picture in said quote.
Since this is off-topic, I thought I would share some of my favorite aviation things with all of you.
The BEST Chicago aviation youtube channel: - YouTube
Best video on that channel: Crazy PlaneSpotting - Boeing 747 Overhead at Chicago O'Hare - YouTube)
Best BAD weather approach and landing video: (HD) Rainy Weather Landing - Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-800 - Chicago Midway Airport KMDW / MDW - YouTube)
My favorite aviation TV show (Airline): - YouTube)
The BBC has a great show along the same sort of ideas as Airline, called “Airport”: - YouTube
Favorite ORD Frequencies to listen to: Tower North, Departure, NE Approach
Favorite Aircraft: Concorde, B747, B767, DC-10, MD-11, B727, Learjet, B707, A-388, A-380, A-340, CRJ Regional Jets
I’m a huge fan of SavvyStews and Aluminum Lady, and used to enjoy standing just outside of the AA Cargo building on the airside while watching planes take-off and touchdown.
If PMSNBC is making fun of it, it’s gotta be a classic. freebeacon.com/morning-joe-panel … ajama-boy/

I honestly can’t believe that with all the quoting and re-quoting of the damn phrase, nobody ever pointed out that it’s “holier than THOU”. Jeebus.

I don’t know. I think it’s dead. 
You may be right-it seems to be drifting off. Too bad. There have been some great and funny discussions as well as some super insults on this thread. Hope it goes on life support and lives another day.
There is a concept that Gods exist only so long as there are believers and worshipers. Maybe that applies to discussions and threads.
We need to get damiross back in here. He was always good at instigating a good argume… uhh discussion.
Flyboy97222 was pretty good at keeping the fires stoked too.
He’s here. He just behaves himself a little better now.
Right rw812?
I will add that the “discussions” between him and JHEM were pretty entertaining.
How about a non-controversial discussion? Where is the remote receiver for a car, specifically the PT Cruiser? I’ve always wondered why I can just aim the key in the general direction of the car and unlock/lock it.

Better yet… why would anyone ever buy a PT Cruiser?
I have millions of remotes, and sort of understand how home remotes work. I never thought about cars…
Modern car remotes use radio frequencies, which would give you a much wider “field” to find the target vehicle.
Keyless remotes contain a short-range radio transmitter, and must be within a certain range, usually 5–20 meters (15–60 ft), of the car to work. When a button is pushed, it sends a coded signal by radio waves to a receiver unit in the car, which locks or unlocks the door. Most RKEs operate at a frequency of 315 MHz for North America-made cars and at 433.92 MHz for European, Japanese and Asian cars. Modern systems implement encryption to prevent car thieves from intercepting and spoofing the signal. Earlier systems used infrared instead of radio signals to unlock the vehicle, such as systems found on Mercedes-Benz,[3] BMW[4] and other manufacturers.
Home remotes use IR light to signal the device, and must be reasonably aimed at the target.
The main technology used in home remote controls is infrared (IR) light. The signal between a remote control handset and the device it controls consists of pulses of infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye, but can be seen through a digital camera, video camera or a phone camera. The transmitter in the remote control handset sends out a stream of pulses of infrared light when the user presses a button on the handset. A transmitter is often a light emitting diode (LED) which is built into the pointing end of the remote control handset. The infrared light pulses form a pattern unique to that button. The receiver in the device recognizes the pattern and causes the device to respond accordingly.[26]

What, no LMGTFY??? You’re slipping sir. lmgtfy.com/?q=how+do+car+remotes+work
Dang, you are right!
Yeah… i was wondering the same thing… just figured it’s was a kinder and gentler version of pthomas745…
Maybe-just maybe we can get the damn thing going again.
I thought LMGTFY was an implementation of the sarcasm font.
Aren’t drivers obligated to be equipped with a vagina in order to drive a PT Cruiser?
