Cerberus Capital (not a hedge fund, but close, private equity group). They are mentioned in the article. Cerberus has been trying to sell the Remington brand group for nearly 6 years.

You sure about that ignorance part? -

“The A arms the wheels are mounted to are attached in a way that, when they hit a rock or whoop, they are pushed up and back instead of up and out laterally.”

That’s not how the efficiency calcs work, it goes the other way. The meshed gear transmission is 15-20% more efficient than their own equivalent belt-drive CVT, that does not mean the transmission is 115-120% efficient.

Self-amalgamating (sometimes just shortened to amalgamating) tape, thicker forms are sold as “rescue tape”.

In the US, they should all consider themselves as “ordered by a regulating body”, as the OSHA OTM section 4 Chapter 4 “Industrial Robots and Robot Safety Systems” is pretty dang clear, and where it is not ANSI/RIA 15.06 (which is reference by OTM.IV.4) is. I am less familiar with the Euro equivalent (ISO 10218, I…

This needs a picture of the “that’s not how any of this works” lady.

It’s the 2nd part of your comment. Lack of follow through leads to barrel stops, which leads to missing behind. The target is moving, you should be moving with it. Plus, in bird hunting, which the other shotgun sports are supposed to emulate, following through means that when you miss, you’re still at speed with your…

Recently, the bags can go on any airplane, just so long as you do too. For example, a standby passenger's bag will not be put on a plane until they get a seat, but it doesn't necessarily have to be the same plane.

The pilots will also do this as a kindness to the FAs, who don't start getting paid until the doors are closed and the beacon is on. It also means the gate agents don't take the delay, so they are more than happy to help.

Yup, it's totally the DOT using funny words and fuzzy numbers to bring down Southwest.

Actually, North Korea does export about $5B USD worth of items each year, mostly textiles and raw materials (coal and ores), mostly to China.

Why does a white truck on a white background (which is what the concrete tarmacs look like from the air) become more hazardous than a green truck on a white background?

I do have to inject a little criticism - At one point you say "My inside source tells me..." as if this were privileged information.

I posted this comment yesterday to add to a similar article, and I feel it could add some understanding with this crowd too, with regard to ever expanding checked bag fees -
