I get that, but I don't think sidesticks are a "fad". They're a a logical way to control FBW airplanes.

Fair dinkum. Having said that, the Cessna TTX has a sidestick, but I'll grant you (just) that this came from an acquired company.
"New fad"? The A320 entered service three decades ago.
It's not a French thing. Sidesticks are the logical way to control a FBW aircraft. Compared to yokes, they are lightweight and don't take up a lot of space. There is no need for the two-handed leverage of a yoke since the aircraft is not being muscled about.
Thankfully I live about 3 hours flight away so I'm sure I'm safe from DPRK ballistic missiles.
Your plane seems to be leaking. I'd get that looked at... ;)
True. Mostly though, what irks me is the lack of taper and the excess fabric folding up on the back of the thighs. That's right, I'm irked.
Hey, you made it onto Whitewhine.com. Respect!
Sadly those are the only items with decent tailoring. The fit of the trousers especially is cringe-inducing...
As ever, I am appalled at tailoring standards in the DPRK.
Hideous but also ridiculously practical.
This comment is the perfect epilogue for this epic article.
On a side note, if you need to wash a down jacket or other such stuffed garment, the down will stick together (bad). This is solved in the dryer by throwing three tennis balls in with the jacket. They will "beat" the down and restore poofiness. It also makes an interesting noise.
I am in reasonably good shape and I still get stitches occasionally. Typically when I'm pushing the pace when tired, or when I'm a bit dehydrated. Not missing water necessarily but salts.
Advice #1: Ramp up very very slowly. The tricky bit is when you start feeling in the groove. The temptation will be to ramp up more quickly. Don't do it! That way lies injury.
Going back to the origin of the word, vagina comes from the Latin word for "sheath". Methinks sheath as a descriptor doesn't sound too bad in English either.
Seeing as it was only 10 meters, the tow truck was still attached. All it had to do was reverse.
HAHA! Well put!
