Interesting. Have you seen advancement in AI being able to anticipate (predict) road, air, see situations prior to them reacting? On a busy freeway with cars/trucks inches apart going high speed, I would think this is necessary.

Any animal, especially a big animal can be dangerous, especially when hurt, sick, or starving. Browns, and Blacks are typically more afraid of humans than we are of them in my experience. The incidents of harm, or fatality is very low from these bears. I am not addressing Canada, nor AK as...

The areas of the lower 48, U.S. where there are bears that really may eat you are small. Portions of Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Wyoming. AK is a different story. Bears are not near the top of my list, although I did know a couple that were eaten by a Grizzly as they slept in their tent...

Butter is just more dairy fat in people's coffee. Like many others, I drink mine black, and relatively strong. I did have a friend who put salt, and pepper on the grounds of his coffee prior to it being brewed.

Yes, it does depend a lot on where you fly. Over wilderness areas, mountains etc, I am much less concerned with animals, or two legged predators than I am with hydration, staying warm, and getting found. Teach your pax how to use the ELT manual switch, and the PLB, plus where the water...

Shoot it, and put it out of its misery.

That's great, you'll love it. My parents lived there 1945 - 1948 in a little town called Nuremberg. I used to have an office in Frankfurt that I got to about once per quarter. It was a blast!

I discuss emergency procedures with pax during the pre-flight briefing, and that includes "bend over and kiss your *ss goodbye". :) In reality, I handout a pre-flight briefing that covers this, that I got either here or from AOPA, but I do not have it handy. Maybe someone else can post it or...

I had the Tiger near gross a few times, but never over. No, I do not like how any plane handles when it is heavy, and the reason I got a 180HP plane was to comfortably be a two person and bags plane, and/or be able to handle high DA situations. Not really to fill the back seats with...

An MP-40, spare mags.........

Interesting points, but I would add up all those same things for the fossil fuel used to generate the electricity for a plug in vehicle, or hybrid that can be plugged in. I like the higher mileage, but don't think it is worth it in the long run, plus I question what "carbon" really does to the...

I miss Reverend Slappy.

I agree. The current Median home price in the U.S. is around $236K. https://ycharts.com/indicators/sales_price_of_existing_homes

"Oh, don't be such a baby."

I hate ghosts. They don't belong here, and I would not like to become one. Still the girl's locker room is tempting. :) Casper?

It tolls for ye........ :D

Attached to a bell I could ring in case I woke up.

Mortgage backed securities combined with improper ratings from Moody's etc. Add the mandate from government to lend to unqualified borrowers, and you get the perfect storm, and that is all I will say.

Who's next Yanni? Or maybe Zamfir, and his pan flute? :eek:

Oh vey. I liked their music way back when. Everything to live for, yet the demons still got him. Sorry for the thread creep.
