Tyler’s writing for Flight Club now? Aww yiss

please do barrel rolls please do barrel rolls please do barrel rolls

Portuguese here. I’ve landed on that airport and the approach and landing are just beautiful. If you are lucky with the weather the landing is on itself a bonus for your trip. Seriously.
Now, imagine that without the extensions. You can clearly see in the first video here it ended before, That narrower part is the one…

But ... they’re basically the same thing as bachelor/bachelorette parties.

Hen, not doe.

The whole “cash is tacky” thing is cultural. Lots of cultures explicitly give money as wedding gifts and it’s totes expected, easy, and fine. We only wanted money too, but we are from the South and used to people being squicked out by giving it, so we made a small registry anwyay and hopefully not too many people will…

It’s okay, we side-eye your doe and stag parties pretty hard.

My MIL’s friend is getting remarried in August. They’re both in their 50s, have fully grown children, two homes full of crap and they have a wedding registry. IT’S HUGE. Four different stores!!! And it’s full of ridiculously expensive shit, like a $700 sous vide machine (not joking). My MIL has “forbidden” me from…

This! I had a coworker plan are really pretty, very intimate destination wedding. NBD until she gushed and gushed about how it was just her closest friends and family, but then wanted all of us gals to attend her shower so badly that she CHANGED THE DATE to a weekend we could all go. And then on top of it, it was a…

Is it possible that this was not the idea of the bride and groom but by someone in the wedding party like the maid of honor - traditionally charged with throwing the shower? It does say that the checks will be put in a box, wrapped and presented to the bride and groom - I just can’t imagine anyone saying to their…

We don’t do showers in the UK; they’re viewed as grasping and tacky. But if I got an invitation stating no boxed gifts, my gift would be lots of tupperware boxes, individually wrapped.

Civl engineers, or for that matter all engineers when they don’t have to listen to the bean counters/marketing idiots) know their shit and do their design/job correctly(e.g. give 200% load design than it’ll ever realistically have to handle) so we can cross something as mundane as a bridge and not have to worry about…

There are few homeless people in Madeira. The official numbers for people living below the poverty line is 2%, though it is very likely higher than that. There is a steady inflow of income from tourism through the regional government, and also directly from the Portuguese central government, that keeps most struggling…

The extension made the runway pretty safe. Go arounds usually only happen under severe weather conditions which are rare. Madeira is a safe airport (I’ve landed there as a commercial flight passenger 12 times, first time in 1996).

Built on huge concrete pillars* What’s so treacherous about this exactly?

I want to know how many of these badass ladies are getting a little action on the side themselves. Just because a man earns more does not mean he won’t cheat. How about we not put effort into studies like this and instead focus on empowering women. Because this whole study reads to me like, “Hmm how can we find a way…

This is a ridiculous message. Grow up.

I realize there’s typically at least two weeks per summer where not having air conditioning is next to unbearable,

I live in New Orleans, hell no will I go without air conditioning. My in-laws are from Westchester and whenever they come down they wonder how I grew up in the bayou all the time shivering because mt central is set to a flat 60. Plus, kids stink after they’ve been running around in the back yard for hours, air…

You clearly do not live in Florida or have never been to Florida. There are like 2 months out of the year we can’t live without the AC.
