    Hotel usb charging port safety

    I never worried about it much domestically. But international? Defintely paid attention and did not plug into USB ports. I have a couple of "power only" cables as well. But I worked in defense contracting and we were frequently targeted overseas. Cost is not an object nor a detriment in that...

    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    When I bought my first table saw it was a $75 Builders Square Chinese made junky 10" bench top. I also bought a $35 (at the time, probably around 1990) carbide blade. I did a ton of projects with that combo and eventually built a stand for it. I was still using it in 2016 when my wife bought me...

    What Are You Reading?

    Just read The Bomber Mafia. Interesting history of how strategic bombing became the US WW II strategy. And how it ended. Side note on the Schweinfurt/Rengesburg raids in Black Thursday: according to Gladwell, the reason there was a two+ hour delay between bomb groups was Curtis LeMay had...

    The Pilots of America Unofficial Hall of Fame, Troll Edition

    I had remembered the Daniel Bernath and using his iPad GPS speed as a heads up display instead of airspeed (because when he looked at the airspeed gauge he drifted off runway) while landing but it’s on sportpilottalk. Though it got honorable mention here...

    SWMBO's New Convertible

    Does it even have a top? I think without one it’s technically a “lawnster “. It ain’t a roadster.

    Equipment for private pilot

    Lots of good (some a bit over the top) comments on here. I didn't bother with a handheld until well into IR training and I've never used it. Which is to say I've never lost comms in any planes. I think this one depend on your budget: are you scaping to pay for training time? Don't buy a...
