    Coronavirus... a positive story...

    It kinda sounds like you're suggesting children walk to school during a pandemic to get their own food. I know it's just the way you worded this and not really what you're trying to say, but I read that before coffee and was like, "I'm not letting my kid walk to school and back during a...

    Toilet Paper

    Here's a PRO tip for everyone. If you must resort to using paper towels, you can separate the plys of the paper towels to make them easier on your sewer system and make your supplies last longer. It can be difficult to get a sheet started when separating the plys, but once started they just peal...

    COVID-19: The silver lining

    That pace keeps up and you won't be able to swing a cat and not hit a PE in a decade or so. Do we really need that many people designing crap?

    Coronavirus hysteria is hurting every one.

    I'm with you on this. A plain ol' loaf of white sandwich bread is blah. I get my bread from the actual bakery section of the store. I make my own croutons with it mostly, but occasionally an epic sandwich.

    Toilet Paper

    I think that is more of a desert thing. People around here with conventional septic systems and drain fields flush it all, mostly without any issues.

    Coronavirus hysteria is hurting every one.

    I like a good wheat bread. He said whole grain, not wheat. The kind of bread for which they make the dough and then dump a bag of horse feed into it, then sprinkle more grain on top of it. White bread is just like a ton of other stuff, eat too much and you'll get plump.

    Coronavirus hysteria is hurting every one.

    Because white bread is delicious and whole grain bread is healthier and not delicious. Do not pretend it is that it's delicious, cause it's not. It's got stuff in it and crunches and it's dry and usually brownish in color. People don't eat whole grain bread because they enjoy it. They force it...

    Fun with pilots

    Back when I was doing civil engineering, there were many times I had to research adjacent property owners and visit them to inform them of the project or ask permission to come onto their property to for various reasons. The look on some of their faces when I called them by prefixes and last...

    Toilet Paper

    Why, isn't it all reality shows, medical drama and police procedurals these days. Even the show about the zombie apocalypse doesn't have much information on actually surviving, just fighting with other survivors. If the world as we know it gets to that, not the zombies, just the fighting...

    Worst controller ever?

    That was difficult to listen to. If anything bad had happened, really difficult for that controller to explain why that behavior was appropriate.

    COVID-19: The silver lining

    I work at an animal shelter, here to offer my professional opinion... Horrible idea. Even if they've been declawed... They still have have teeth, unless you have a really effed up toothless cat.

    Life aboard Grand Princess

    We've got a balcony room for our cruise in July. They have my permission to extend my vacation as they see fit. Until they run out of coffee, food and toilet paper, I won't complain.

    My Corona.....not the song. ;-)

    Oh, lawdy! Look at this PPE. They're spraying their entire child with disinfectant. https://www.fox13news.com/news/tennessee-school-employee-comes-in-contact-with-coronavirus-patient

    My Corona.....not the song. ;-)

    I'm getting tired of hearing two people infected here, five infected over here, three down the road a piece. It's like you're staked to the ground and a steam roller is coming to mash you flat, but it's still, like, a hundred miles away. It's out, you're going to get it. I hope it isn't too...

    Advice Needed: DPE conflict of interest

    That sounds like the aviation equivalent of "poking the bear", with the added complexity of finding a bear and getting it to drive to the airport at a predetermined time.

    [NA] More 'help me shop' now 1/8" wire rope

    I'm pretty sure there are quite a few sailors using amsteel as rigging, it sits in the sun and elements all the time, subjected to much higher loads and, yes, through blocks/pulleys. It should handle your application just fine.

    My Corona.....not the song. ;-)

    It's popping up in nearby Wake county NC. One of the infected dined at a public restaurant just before testing positive. The restaurant claimed they sanitized and cleaned, said they had the cleanest restaurant around... days after the infected dined there. Another infected traveled to Italy, got...
