You can’t, even in your cabin in the woods, you’ll still find those “many blood sucking creatures”.

Scary indeed. But losing 29,000 feet in 7 minutes is about 4143 feet/minute. That is a healthy descent rate for sure but is not in the category of a “dive”. On a regular basis we descend at 3500 feet/minute (737 pilot, major airline) so 4200 feet/min isn’t extraordinary.

According to the Des Moines Register article,

No, and that’s why they offer other cheaper phones with less cameras. 

Wow. Nope. Are we all just supposed to accept misinformation because it would be easier to let it slide? Are we supposed to ignore Trump until he gets 4 more years?

So you’re saying it’s better to inspire panic in Alabama, potentially causing many people to evacuate, costing millions of dollars in lost economic value because that’s better than pointing out Trump was wrong.

Category 5 shitstorms have always existed, but global dumbening has increased their frequency and strength. The Cape Merde type systems that roll off of the right side of American politics in recent years have been particularly devastating to those living in low lying scientific communities.

I've never even heard of a Category 5 shitstorm before!

Alabama was never, ever, at risk. Here’s every cone ever published by NHC for Dorian.

See, this is the kind of comment I like -- one that just shows appreciation.  You win one internet star, and four positivity points.  Make sure to add those to your character sheet.

When I started the conversion, the bulbs were around $30 each, so I did it one bulb at a time, as the old ones died. Which means I had an LED and an incandescent in the same fixture at the same time. You’re full of literal shit. The

I’m not sure you’ve ever actually tried to purchase LED bulbs. You know they make them in pretty much every shape, size and wattage equivalent as CFLs right?

I have a 100w-equivalent in my front porch, 60w-equiv candelabras throughout my light fixtures, 60w equiv normal bulbs in my lamps, 60w-equivs in my recessed can

So what you’re saying is that your house is a fire trap, and you refuse to bring it up to date to protect yourself and your family because you’re a skinflint.

Man o’ man, you have one fucked up or expensive or both lighting and wiring scheme in your house/apartment. As far as technology transitions goes, lighting has gone pretty swimmingly over the past 10 to 15 years. That is for most folks. Others long for the day when a 60 watt bulb needed 600 watts from the big old

You don’t need cell service to use the phone key portion of the app. It relies on Bluetooth alone.

There are 4 ways to open the damn door. That you choose to only use the one that depends on the internet and a mothership somewhere, is your own damn fault.

we can discuss this matter outside, right next to the double-parked, windowless black van idling on the corner.

How about just adding some lightweight tailcones made of fiberglass and renaming it “Falcon’s Ride” or something like that? Seems easier than reducing capacity by 25% and less difficult. Would look like this:
