I want to marry that dish in that photo.

The real reason for flying boats was the fixed pitch prop. Prior to adjustable pitch props you had either a climb or cruise prop, if you wanted to be able to cruise at altitude at a decent speed and at a low cruise RPM you needed a flat pitch prop. This was the equivalent of fifth gear in a car and just like top gear…

I actually care not how we lost the Flying Boats today. I care about the missions they are uniquely suited to perform over other methods. In Search And Rescue situations (SAR) time is of the essence. The Russian’s Beriev Be-200 Altair is an outstanding water-bomber for fighting fires, and can get to a location at sea…

Best part of this thread is all the Tesla fans who are proving yet again that they are incredibly thinned skinned about even the slightest critique of their cars

Because when the temperature drops below about -10°F the push button activated locks start acting stupid. Half of the time it won’t unlock, forcing me to walk to the other side and push it open from the inside, and the other half of the time it won’t lock but thinks it has.

You’re asking the wrong question. You should be asking why people leave cash and credit cards inside of a car that they are not presently occupying. Most times they won’t even take cupholder change, they want easy and quick and obvious.

Because my locks are old and I’ve broken a key off in the lock before. But I don’t keep valuables inside. 

Yes, but they don’t cause you to lose so much water that you’re at a net loss.

I like salmon, but i season the hell out of it. put a flavor crust on that puppy. Dump some cajun seasoning on it. Go wild. Its like chicken, the flavor on its own isn’t particularly notable, but it adopts the flavor of whatever you cook it with. 

But if it were real, it would be spectacular.

Certain parts of the salmon can be fishy, especially if you get some of the bloodline (that section of really dark-colored meat)

The fact that I’ve never heard of an app called Line, and that I’m the one in my family who “knows about that stuff”, implies that if I switch to that other app, I will have a lot of fun talking to no one I would ever be interested in talking to.

A) instant pot will change your relationship with beans. 1 hour start to finish - game changer in my kitchen.

Beans plus a little bit of meat satisfies your craving for meat while consuming less of it.  Funny this article popped up today.  Last night made a batch of pinto beans to accompany ribs.  

OK, former trucker and mechanical engineer here. I just wanted to address this kluge-job, and answer a few of your questions:

Whatever cheap whiskey I can use to dull the shine off of the holly jolly whatever. Currently, Old Overholt bonded rye.

Heat on, windows down is an incredible feeling. Seems wasteful but I just love it. 

I’m from Wisconsin and yeah if it’s 68 at night, I may turn on the heat.
