Why doesn't doppler radar pick up planes? Hmm.
The answer is that it can and it does! In fact, it was first used to do exactly that, detect airplanes. They found that it was so sensitive that it would pick up cloud cover, making airplane detection useless on cloudy days. They turned it into a weather radar.
Because Doppler measures changing velocity as much as anything, it's great for weather but high grade military stuff still uses it also.
When you're looking at the giant regional map that the weather guy is showing, an airplane would be represented by a Dot that is so tiny That you couldn't see on the superimposed map.
@ScotchnSmoke sux lots of large wéiners. And tons of small ones.
Watching video shorts and somehow, the algorithm has this idea that I like the German Shorthair Pointers. (That would be GSP for @OutdoorsSmoke_21191)
And the videos often point out how these dogs have great energy and no boundaries. So this one video features clips of German Shorthair Pointers on top of the dining room tables and kitchen countertops, counter surfing, and the selected music is The Beach Boys, Surfin USA.
"If everybody had an ocean
Across the U.S.A
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californ-i-a
You'd see them wearing their baggies <----(Shorts I have always assumed)
********** sandals too <------(What kind of sandals?)
A bushy bushy blond hairdo
Surfin' U.S.A"
And I realized that I'd heard this song all my life and
never really could hear what kind of sandals they are saying.
I Googled it.

I’m guessing @VegasFrank could answer that better than anyone.

Why do they call it a pair of pants? Why the plural?

Pair of socks I understand. Pair of pants, Pair of underwear, Pair of shirt? Doesn't make sense.

Got to wondering if Iran scrambled their AF response to bombings and found this video. 🤔

That's freaking hilarious.
You know you're living in a wealthy country when all of the homeless people have cellphones that are more expensive than your own.
