    Boeing CEO is taking a pay cut

    Oh just stop. There are tens of thousands of people living in Seattle who don't own 4 million-dollar homes. Now, if you want to live in high-end neighborhoods and areas in the middle of Fremont, Ballard, or Capitol Hill yeah sure. Plenty of stuff is $1MM or less, even waterfront. Nothing...

    Boeing CEO is taking a pay cut

    Eh, probably needs to be split up anyway. Consequence of being allowed to get so big that they were in charge of policing themselves.

    Wow, only took them since the invention of Android phones to adopt being able to put icons where you want them, lol.

    Please help me pick my second motorcycle

    The nice thing about the FJR, is it's mostly unchanged from the 2010s aside from adding modern tech, and the engine is well-vetted with tons of them racking up 50K+ miles without breaking a sweat. I believe 2016 was when they got the 6-speed gearbox rather than the 5-speed, as well as a slipper...

    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    It makes sense if you don't think about it.

    Please help me pick my second motorcycle

    I dunno, I bet that FJR would surprise you in the twisties despite the extra 150lbs. Might be worth seeing if you can test drive one. Not that it isn't more fun to have bikes that are a bit more specialized to different purposes, but the FJR and BMW R/K series are pretty good swiss army knives...

    Please help me pick my second motorcycle

    I don't believe there is anything officially codified in regulations, but generally-speaking most of the insurance companies covering those vehicles for damage/repair are going to pressure OEMs to provide parts for about a decade. It's also in the best interest of the OEM/parts manufacturing...

    Please help me pick my second motorcycle

    I believe they shut down Victory in 2017, so they have to produce parts/support for 10 years afterwards as the OEM.

    Polaris still makes parts for them and is required to do so through at least 2027, and there's a decent aftermarket as well. I wouldn't worry about it too much at this point.

    Hey, Lord... whatever I done, don't strike me blind for another couple of minutes.

    Yamaha FJR Yamaha Stratoliner Honda VTX Honda Valkyrie/Goldwing/F6B BMW K1200/1600/R1250 I've even seen a few 2015-2018 Indian Scouts and Chieftain bikes in the $8-$10K range lately that might scratch your itch for chrome without going HD. The Victory bikes often sell in that price range too...

    Flight simmers - help me understand the market for super-realistic airplane models

    I would imagine there is a fair bit of code involved in order to drive the logic for each circuit breaker, especially when triggering all of the subsequent systems that would be impacted. Not to mention having to make sure that everything aligns with the graphics portion (location, switch...

    Flight simmers - help me understand the market for super-realistic airplane models

    They aren't doing it for the love of aviation though. They are doing it to recoup some of the cost of the project, hopefully keeping the price in an area that gets a 50-100+ guys to pony up the money for it. You price it at $1,500, you might get a handful of really dedicated (and well-funded)...

    No he said it takes a lot of caulk to fill a small hole.

    If your pvc piping blows with 15 psi, you were on borrowed time anyway. The normal pump system runs at more water psi than that as it is. The expandable rubber stoppers you use for plugging off the outlets won't usually hold a ton more pressure anyway unless you're really cranking them down.
