Airlines don’t outright own the tires fitted to their planes, ...Carriers lease tires...

To everyone saying that the $81k is unreasonable since Medicare would have only paid $10k...

My lockdown weirdness was watching narrowboaters in England.

Wow, selling a boat on ebay? The seller fees must have been catastrophic.

Very nice, thank you for the write-up. I was nearly tempted at lunch the other day but was put off by the price and my suspicion that is wouldn’t be enough of an entree to get me to dinner and I would need several. It’s good to have my suspicions confirmed.

This sounds right to me. I used to get Big Mac meals, possibly multiple times per week, back when the where $5, then $6, then $7... I stuck with them till they started closing in on $10. I stopped after that and started getting one of their Deals for $4, which is now up to $5. They’re getting far less revenue (and, I…

The number of retired aircraft around the world is set to sore (I’m so sorry)...

I’ve always thought is was simultaneously the weirdest and most brilliant shifter out there.

On the subject of Toyotas being boring cars driven by boring people...

Did you weigh the removed roof-n-stuff, just out of curiosity, to compare to the new carbon fiber roof?

When I was a single guy making not a whole lot of money I lived in Corpus Christi for about a year in the mid 90's. H·E·B was my go-to on payday to do the weekly grocery shopping and splurge with with my only (typically) meal “eating out” for the week, some General Tso’s chicken and fried rice from the hot food…

...the method of transport can still prove to be just as capable as our cars and trucks in a few situations.

We look at those numbers as abysmal, but 15 mpg that Silverado...um...2 pi...carry the 17...divide by golden ratio...
