Rosy cheeks. Cherry-red nose. Sounds like a caucasian man who has been out in the cold, to me. Of course, you’re free to imagineer anything your mind can dream up, but just because you can dream it don’t make it so.

Shoot, I own a tuned Mk7 GTI, and I didn’t know any of that. Great post!

Whistleblower. Treasonous traitor.

Who’s the U-boat commander?

Has anyone considered the possibility that Manning’s rule-breaking behavior, perhaps including this suicide attempt, are a pattern of behavior executed by a dissatisfied person who is resisting the judgement and confinement levied by the UCMJ system?

Not preheating an oven means that the food will be immediately exposed to a broiler for 10 to 20 minutes, since the elements will go to red hot to bring the oven up to temperature. Such broiler exposure may not be compatible with the recipe.

Concur about this pet peeve. Unique is a singular state; either something is unlike everything else, or it is not.

They should have led with the headline, “American person wins a second medal.” That would have been factual, thoroughly adequate, and perfectly uninteresting.

Is it just me, or does this story seem to have less to do with the two women passengers’ being Muslim and more to do with an overly-sensitive flight attendant overreacting and escalating to one of their criticism of the FA staff’s handling of the delay service?

Or, he might have said, “Can you please stop kicking my seat?” and the father might have said, “Don’t tell my [special snowflake] son what to do.”

I could build an ultralight with a 12 Kw electric motor, a bank of four 250 Kwh batteries at 10 lbs each, and a 250 watt solar panel (another 40 lbs) zip tied to the empennage. With a small pilot, it would get off the ground and fly for about 6 minutes with a range of about 2 miles. Then, I could let sit for forty

I know this accomplishment does not specify “in one flight” or “in less than a week” or any other qualifier, but for a flight record to take over a year and four months to complete seems less than overwhelming.

But... but, you’re not supposed to give dogs chocolate!

This analysis is ridiculous.

Well, there was the recent “Assault Weapon” ban, which banned rifles with cosmetic features that made them look scary, but that were functionally no different than any modern self-loading rifle. Before that, “Saturday Night Specials” were the demonized guns du jour, after Hinkley shot Reagan, but they were simply

My friend is the medical director of a large, hospital-based, sleep disorder center. She lectures all over the country on sleep medicine. She is wicked smart.

Pulling positive Gs, when the pilot pulls the stick back and squashes the bodies in the cockpit down into their seats, is manageable. We are used to pulling 1 positive G all the time; that’s what gravity is. More positive G is just more of the same; your heart beats harder to keep the blood flowing up to your brain,

It seemed plenty powerful for me and held its own against the Hornets and Vipers, as long as you didn’t get suckered into their fights and made them fight yours.

The mighty F-14A, back in the mid to late 90s.
