My step father had one of these and we played it back in the day. With the separate axis steering, it was almost impossible to play anything other than pong-type games, and the English control meant that you could hit a ball and make it move more than a Gaylord Perry spitter. But we thought we were tasting the future.

Jaime Lannister’s story is one full of pain, secrets, and familial...tension

It’s a TV show.

And then he just stands there and watches it.

Can they just rebroadcast the 1985 race? It will likely be a lot more interesting to watch.

They spent years and years building them, and now that they are open they do absolutely nothing to improve traffic flow. It can cost as much as $8 to drive 15 miles. It was never about helping congestion; it was always about…

Even better: sidecars with lions in them.

What will happen if he loses in 2020 and doesn’t accept the results? Who knows!

Do they have boy ass beers? Asking for a friend.

BTW, a “full-TED elevator position” means that the trailing edge elevator (basically the “flap” on the horizontal tail wing) of the MD-83 is in its fully lowered position. If it were stuck that way, it would be impossible to lift the nose. The pilots might have seen that when they did the walk around, but couldn’t…

I’m not sure. These a/c have been flying for many, many years, and they aren’t dropping out of the sky (or failing to take off) on a regular basis. I’m going to take some time to digest this report today. I found that after searching “preflight” on the document. 

Well played.

From the report:

Ya think?

Nothing to see here. Move along.

In car “aerobics.” That’s not what we used to call it.
