If you get the FlightRadar app, you can set alerts for specific aircraft types, etc. I’m still waiting for my AN-225 alarm to go off...

Nice! I wouldn’t say I travel “the world” a lot. I’ve been in the middle east the past couple years. So travel in theater is primarily stripped-down military cargo planes, rotaries, and the occasional small fixed-wing at my previous location. R&R is via commercial.

I used to work at LG Electronics near the airport and always enjoyed watching the huge cargo planes coming in. My current job has given me the opportunity to travel in and see countless more Cxx planes, and they are impressive.

Agreed. That one is nonsense.

I find the Army weirder because E-1 - E3 are all called privates In the Marines we still say the full rank Private; Private first class; Lance Corporal. And i know in the Army E-1 - E-4 are still like bottom of the food chain which is mind bloggling to me. We have PFC’s leading fireteams and LCpl’s taking charge of…

I think they finally accepted how brutal Star Wars can be, in a Disney sort of way.

Just further makes my case that we should simply observe daylight saving time year-round. Sun before 6:30 is a waste but I love having enough light to do things outside until 9:30pm in the summer. I’d prefer having at least a little afternoon sunlight in the winter time too. I’m not going to get up at 5 am to work in…

Id say Staff Sergeant because I was in the Marine Corps and we say the full proper rank except Gunnery Sergeant of which we just say “Gunny” if its a informal talk. If giving a command by such Gunny then we say it fully. I never understood why other branches just say Sergeant seems confusing when your told to go talk…

Jon, where can you get that Synology router? I can’t find it’s availability anywhere currently.

There’s G8 led bulbs now. I’m going to start switching the undercabinet lighting in my kitchen to that.

“...The kitchen light quit working in our old house...”

“...There is just such a wealth of information available at your fingertips for how to do things. It is amazing between now and even 10 years ago. I used to keep a Chiltons or Haynes manual for my vehicles. Now, I just have my phone or tablet outside with me when I am working on something that I am unfamiliar with...”

Ugh, painful.

After you mentioned NCIS, I tried to find my clip... Only to find the, we can’t go fast enough, lets get two hands on the keyboard thing. From what you say... They actually went a step farther.

Whoa there- what’s with “for once” Leia got to do something? In “A New Hope” she stands up to both Tarkin and Vader, resists the interrogator probe, and when “the boys” finally turn up to rescue her they bungle it and she has to take the lead.

Yeah, you were the one who chose a career where you were inundated with pop culture and social media 24/7. You know who’s wished me a happy BTTF day in the real world? Nobody. Know how many tweets and ads I’ve seen for it? None.

Prepare your wallet. You have been warned.

that antique book girl is definitely the highlight of the show

Gibbs Smack is really effective when they being dofussy.

My mother used a plastic and wooden paint stirrer, alternately. She didn't play.
