The WOW (Weight On Wheels) switch is supposed to prevent this sort of thing. In theory it prevents the firing of any weapon while the plane is sitting on its landing gear. Unfortunately it sometimes is not checked for proper operation or is bypassed as a matter of convenience and. Well, you see what can happen...
Use it for cooking? No! Never cook with any wine you wouldn’t gladly drink otherwise you just wind up with ruined food and bad wine.
I have been busy re-writing my old website to be “clean” meaning no JS and no cookies. As a result, I’ve been testing it against the most common browsers: IE, FF, Chrome, Opera, Tor, and Edge. The first five of these render properly and virtually identically. One, Edge, breaks even simple things like inserting a…
He understands that his supporters are not inclined to rational thought. That has gotten him pretty far.
Jeez. I always thought that I was supposed to poop whenever I needed to. No more and no less. Do I need to set an alarm on my phone to remind me?
The key did not kill — stupid did. If you are not aware that your car’s engine is running you should certainly not be behind the wheel. In any case, anybody could just as easily leave the car running with a key-operated ignition as with keyless.
Odd. I’ve always figured that ‘good’ debt is the one you never had or at least is the one you paid off quickly. I’ve been managing to live debt-free (except for a single credit card bill which is paid in full monthly) for five+ years now and it is quite empowering although getting there was painful at times.
It reminds me of my old original Suzuki Brute — right-hand drive and 360cc of raw roaring power (if you never wanted to go over 45mph). It had the benefit of being street-legal and was even registered in anal-retentive California.
Alprazolam, 1mg, works better and will later diminish the aggravation of crowding, bad service, uncomfortable seats, screaming kids, obnoxious passengers, boring ‘entertainment’ and a number of other annoyances. As a bonus, taken 1 hour before entering the security line, even the TSA security theater is less bad.…
I notice that the fire extinguisher looks to be a Kidde. It would probably be worthwhile to find out if it and any other similar ones in your possession are on their recall list — the company was forced to admit that many of their models simply fail to work (or sometimes turn into missiles). If incinerating vehicles…
After having experienced the ‘Guinness’ beef stew at the brewery in Dublin I’d have to say that there is one beer that belongs in stew. I haven’t made it at home yet but they do provide a good recipe for the divine stuff online.
Black widow spiders are relatively common in my area. Twice now I’ve actually (and quite accidentally) laid hands on one while at the top of a tall ladder while doing repairs on the house. In neither case was I bitten. Had I been, I’m sure that an unplanned departure from the top of the ladder would have had far worse…
I have what I believe to be the oldest version of this product, purchased ~23 years ago at Costco. The sets (I bought 2) included two sizes of rectangular containers, small bowls, and two sizes of small round, all with blue lids. The have held up perfectly with only the replacement of two lids on the larger bowls.…
He isn’t touching the hardware - in his world it is called ‘the laying upon of hands’. No doubt he is trying to exorcise the science demons.
For flights that are long enough to matter, trans-Atlantic for example, I always try to schedule the flight so that arrival is early-to-mid morning. That way I have motivation to stay active for the rest of the day and that seems to speed the acclimatization. This can lead to some departure times which are a bit…
I hope that little car in the clip is electric. Otherwise leaving the hatch open is a sure way to load the inside of the vehicle with carbon monoxide. Invariably the owner’s manual will warn agains such exploits.
