The way the terms "scientific evidence" and "misinformation" are thrown around, it is just about impossible to trust anything written regarding medical issues and the CDC.

What do I sign to petition to have the tailwheel endorsement requirement removed? That would solve everything and nothing at the same time. ...Tailwheel endorsement! PPFFFT!

Is there data to show that the endorsement requirement has had any effect on reported accidents involving tailwheel airplanes?

My local cable provider has recently come up with a mostly affordable plan that lets me have my Internet modem with no television service at all. Before, I was forced to have basic cable and a decoder box. I have not watched broadcast TV in 15+ years and seldom consume anything other than...

Probably 7-8 times per year. In between those drives, I regularly make 550-600 mile round trips from Central to North Texas. The good news there is that Tesla is installing Superchargers at all the Buc-Ees and there are three or four along my route.

Interesting. There are Collins products with the same issue. They must use the same FPGA... It turns out there is a screen brightness setting of "0" (zero) available, but with that setting, you cannot know the screen is on, but fully dark. Holding the power for ten or more seconds resets the...

Putting an ominous "spin" on the subject?

I guess I'm lucky. My home airport lost Delta years ago and United recently. We only have American now. I have not flown on any airlines other than those three in at least 20 years. I flew on a Southwest milkrun from Austin to Houston to El Paso to Phoenix to LA to San Jose once back in the...

FYI Nickleback is one of hundreds of over produced, autotuned, junk music bands that have polluted the music industry for a buck. It's been going on for about 30 years. ...And to stay on topic, Dan plays some of that "music" on his channel. :raspberry:

What's kinda funny is that the fastest time I have done on my regular workout loop was on my single speed bike. No gears at all...

You could fly a circular pattern and announce your position with clock positions: "Barnburner 123FU, Four O'Clock fer twoo nayiner. Fixin' tuh make a full stop."

I prefer no-wings. Solves both issues.

Today's ride (LNX GUY on Strava) was a real eye opener for me. This was my fourth ride on the Trek and I have run out of gears. I have worked out the necessary adjustments to the shifting and gotten used to the short top tube, so I have become more comfortable and much faster! I really like...

LOTOT= Loss Of Thrust On Takeoff. My peeve is using airport identifiers without the associated name and city...

I put a nice set of Schwalbe 35s on my bike before I ever rode it. The weird, puffy 43s that came with the bike looked completely unsuitable for road use...

My philosophy is to get the airplane off the ground and climbing as soon as possible in order to have as much altitude as possible in the event of a LOTOT. Any extra speed beyond Vx or Vy is wasting energy that could be used to get to altitude sooner and provide a few more seconds to make a...

Yep. My Trek FX Sport 5 Carbon has that exact same setup 1X11 with a 40 tooth chainring. Before I ever rode it, I bought a 42 tooth ring, believing I would run out of gear. I am just now to the point where I have gotten accustomed to the bike and I really like the close ratio Shimano GRX...

Somewhere about ten years ago, they came up with this new concept called a "gravel bike." It's what I would call a hybrid, with slightly large, but lightweight wheels and 700cX43 or so tires... My new Trek carbon bike is super light and rides like a rock, but it has climbing gears, so weight...

No brainer. Stephenville and Hard Eight. Room for 100 people and walking distance.
