Cool!  Referring to the order confirmation displays made by Delphi?

And now E39 window regulators are NLA.

I was with Jack in the Box IT at the time. It was actually a promising concept (employees could concentrate on getting your food prepared correctly, interact with in-store customers better, etc.). There were technological challenges though - the order takers had to interact with our point-of-sale registers remotely,…

So where is the explosion?  You mean, “She forgot to latch the door”

Should hit the guy on the head.

Hit the glass on the windshield?

Done that, used that trick (RX 3 wagon)

The RAT is not secret, just not well known... in part because “all engines failing” is fortunately, very, very rare. ETOPS is the standard meant to prevent the whole all engines failing thing. Basically, there’s never been an unassisted all engine failure on an ETOPS certified airliner. That said, of course, there…

This being a 1988, the 3VZ-E produced 145 horsepower.  It was increased in 1989 to 150.  That’s my pedant moment of the day.  Okay, probably not....

I saw just under 4 minutes of totality with minimal cloud cover in Sidney, OH. Absolutely amazing experience that I believe everyone should have in their lifetime. The difference between 99% and 100% cannot be overstated. Can’t wait for the next one to hit the US in 21 years (yes, I know there is a brief one that will…

True, but gators are more leery of humans in Louisiana than Florida.

Ok - I freaking love this and may have to buy this set - for - reasons...

Why would you even suggest readers make their own blend of the two “to save a few cents”?

Nope.  Not gonna happen.  I’m much too smart to fall for that one.  Nice try.

I’m not sure I’ve seen a faster, nor cooler way to die. A stock kei truck has garbage handling, uses your body as a crumple zone, and isn’t built to handle more than a few hamsters’ worth of power. Adding a freaking jet is like spitting in Death’s face.

737. It was about the same age as I am. But more comfortable for the passengers when it finally got ready to go.

My dad was in Korea and then an aviation safety officer, he dealt with death in an odd offhand way that came from losing friends and coworkers in accidents and war. One of the odd times I saw him really touched and crushed was when he was listening to a recording of a friend trying to save a plane after a mechanical…

I was flying far too often on AK airlines MD-80's during that time period, and when the news got out about the jackscrew the MD80 got a bad reputation that it never quite was able to shake.

It’s all kinda funny... One commercial airplane travel is one of the safest ways to travel, it may even beat walking. But what a large part of the general public doesn’t realize is. Even though there are government regulations, the government doesn’t really enforce them the way you think they might think. Example, I…
