Interesting. I had no idea the the Three Stooges' first flick "The Women Haters Club" would be so prescient.

I had to do a bit of my own research to figure out how Magnetic Resonance Angiography could be used to diss someone.

Hear hear!

Interesting, but I still don't quite have the concept. How would you use it in a car?

Perhaps that's one reason other spacecraft use names that are very specific. I always wondered why they would, say, command the pilot to "disengage the IVVIM (Intra-Vehicular Visual Illumination Mode)" instead of telling them to "turn the light out". If the unlock switch had some god-awful name describing exactly what it did, then maybe the pilot wouldn't have thought "let's unlock this now so we'll be ready".

It almost sounds like no-one was in the know that doing it too early would break it.

Reading comprehension fail. Rambling missive ignored after first sentence.

Thank you for that rock lyric to our favorite rock.

Yah, same here. I thought "hey, I don't mind providing a bit of monetization for them to bring Slashdot into my living room", but I experienced the same issues as you. So, off it goes.

"If it flies like a drone, hovers like a drone and looks like a drone.... Shoot it!"

"You're a fool". Perhaps true, but not an "arrogant fool", as you.

"Even at 500' he'll still have time..." to auto-rotate into a fire.

Yes. Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet.

That's what I want to know!

Some nice subtle snarks there, but yeah. 50-60 years seems like a long time for "the preliminary reconnaissance of the solar system", but hey, yeah. Historically it's not really out of line with how it has happened in the past.
