The league really has no idea how to officiate a game in slow motion from 10 angles when the rules are written to govern it in real time from two or three. The catch rule was only the beginning.

Everyone - Don’t buy the hulking SUV, buy the damn minivan!

Are the Kia dealers in the US new and improved too?

1:08:20 is where you hear her normal voice. Her put-on voice is not that different. To me it sounds like she’s speaking in the same register but is unnaturally pushing the bass frequencies forward. 

Oh wow. You’re not joking. I hadn’t seen pictures of her before. She’s straight up Alita Battle Angel in some of these.

Only using a single sensor was the most blatantly stupid decision.... followed closely by not notifying/training pilots on the existence of a system which could drastically alter the plane’s flight characteristics.

In a cockpit of confusion where you are getting “stall”, “low speed” and “terrain” warnings blaring? Nah, my bet is, once the data is analyzed (and this IS conjecture) we’ll find that the pilots had no idea they were fighting a trim issue— I’d bet they were yanking back on the yoke of a plane hell bent on ignoring…

I have a bunch of 737 Captains as friends. And have also spoken to other “training pilots” for AA and UAL. There have been whispers about the design trade-offs on the MAX for years. It’s too much engine for a 50 y/o airframe that wasn’t designed for this.

Uh, no, I haven’t. The Lion Air data has been thoroughly analyzed.

Yes, but that’s not really an argument that the regulators should be espousing.

It wouldn’t be the first time Chicago school MBAs killed the golden goose and shat on its corpse.

Also, Bob Saget admitted that he sucked dick to get his kid into college.

She’s going from Full House to The Big House!

I ran a 225 for a couple of years; they’re bomb proof. I have no idea where any conerns originate from about a potential for large bills. I wasn’t expecting it to happen and it didn’t. The engines are strong, the gearboxes good, the electricals very... German - just look at the miles these things regularly pull. They’r…

Which describes a former stripper I dated. She was finishing an MBA when I met her.

Hahaha. Every month it will be something - a cam position sensor, then an alternator. Then a seal, the air conditioner compressor, a hose here and there, another random sensor, and so on.

I had a ‘99.5 A4 with the 1.8T. Let me tell you something: I loved that car, but you run — don’t walk, *run* — from Audis of that vintage. It made 80’s Italian cars look reliable and ‘90’s Toyotas look like they were built to outlast time itself. The BMW I drove opposite it was a paragon of reliability in comparison.…

The reputation is earned. I had an 02 225 roadster, purchased new. It was a pos.

It’s more like saying don’t have sex with someone with AIDs, because you will die from AIDs.

I think the first line in the description of this ad says it all: “Have owned car 8+ years, asking price is less than receipts I have had in last year.”
