    Decaf coffee [NA]

    I have no idea about decaf, but the K-Cup I landed on a long time ago after trying lots of them, is Peet's Major Dickinson's Blend I agree that many of the K-cup options aren't very good but I found that this one is rich enough. Worth the trade-off to get a consistent and fresh cup every time...

    NA - Need house smoke detectors

    I've been dealing with this issue for years...once in a long while the things will go off...and yes, mine too are programmed to only do this between 2AM and 5AM. My biggest issue is that the ceilings in my house are all too high to easily reach, and the two detectors that seem to be the worst...

    DOGE and the FAA

    Why do any of these pushes to streamline govt fail? I don't know much about the particulars, but I speculate that in very large part is has something to do with the vast number of different agencies and positions that are entrenched over the decades fully in self-preservation and...

    DOGE and the FAA

    fair point I think. So maybe 3rd doesn't go away exactly. And while I like the idea of replacing it with basic mad in general terms, I feel like basic med is sort of half-baked too (namely, you have family practice interest who have no real idea what they are supposed to be looking at just...

    Tankless water heaters

    do any of you have electric versions? We just recently bought an office building for my wife. I little old bungalow house that had been at some point converted to an office. It has a small tank heater in the crawl space... an open wet dirt crawl space looks like a homeowner's special...

    Personal Locator Beacon - Still Relevant?

    The inreach type devices, at least when I researched this question a few years back, rely solely on satellite communication and that may not work everywhere and always...depending on location and network, etc... Their advantages include two-way messages, leaving courtesy breadcrumb trails, I'm...

    Rules for using MOGAS?

    I enjoy those old fashioned educational films like that. Stuffy for sure, but I for some reason feel like the folks doing them were just a bit smarter...and I like how everything is done so formally, right down to the summary at the end...." you have seen..." like halfast and others...

    T-Mobile

    My wife is using those T-Mobile home medoems at a couple of office locations...well one anyway, I think she might have gotten cable at one location because of speed/bandwidth issues. It seems that they can be a little sketchy if signals are marginal. Good signal works though. Not streaming...

    What if... Modernizing GA

    I have not seen that Ravin before. Intersting! I've never been a fan of the pipers though, because of the one door and no windows thing.... Except your sidebar about going twin reminded me of my time trying to get my multi rating in an old round tail Piper Apache 150 (PA-23-150). It was an...

    Semaglutide for weight loss

    From what I know about those sorts of drugs is that they do not address the underlying cause, and so you'll regain the weight when it's over... Except maybe not the muscle mass that comes from losing weight too fast. My wife is on a GLP-1 antagonist now, and has lost weight. It's a good thing...

    Airline pilots question

    I'm not an airline pilot...but as an airline passenger, I agree. I used to travel for work a lot. Sometimes trips of just a few days, sometimes trips of a week, two, or even more. Sometimes I'd pack for three days and end up being gone for two or three weeks. I was young and single. It was...

    Inside hangar homes

    I'm pretty sure that's not a hangar (in a) house.... that's a house with a little hangar attached. A very nice one I might add ;)

    How often does it work out in the airlines that consecutive work days have you home in your own bed as opposed to a hotel in some other city?

    IH Scout fans: What do you think of the new one?

    Yeah, I'm a little bit interested. Agree with other complex about getting a bit too upscale, but this prototype looks like maybe a nice compromise...if the target price holds I've got to admit that I want a certain level of comfort and features these days... AC adaptive cruise control or...

    Battery Lawn Mowers

    I have the Ego walk behind mower, blower, and the power head string trimer/hedge trimmer Expensive but I'd buy it again. I have three different sized batteries but they all will work any any device. The larger battery that came with the mower will get my whole yard as long as it's not too long...

    Food Caused Dizzyness?

    although never formally diagnosed in my cases, I've experienced it a few times. The worst couple of events, in those moments just before the "trash can" became useful, I knew with absolute certainty exactly what the culprit was..... no question it was food poisoning. My first and worst case...

    Helicopter Kits/Plans/Important Parts?

    another choice just popped into my youtube suggestions. I have daydreamed for many years about building a helo like this. Always wanted to fly one but they're just so expensive! I often wonder what life would have been like had I followed through with my thought about joining the USCG after...

    Meat eaters need not reply

    oh, so close!..... the sprouts, What are you thinking, man??? I guess I'd call that rounding error. Easy enough to knock those things off the top! :)
