Sailplane Launches Itself With Retractable Jet

A creative bunch of tinkerers think the recent trend of self-launching gliders needs a bit of a boost. So instead of outfitting their high performance sailplane with an electric or small piston motor, they’ve attached a jet engine that folds neatly into the fuselage.

The Only Facebook Button I’d Ever Need

There’s been some talk of whether Facebook needs a “thumbs down” option, but honestly that won’t be necessary. At least, not if the “Meh” button ever comes to fruition, since that’s how I feel about pretty much every newsfeed update.
