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

Didn't Top Gear do an episode where they played soccer with Mini Coopers or something? I think the theory was that it made both Mini Coopers and soccer watchable, which independently they were not.
 
2030 Winter Olympics - sponsored by Winchester and Beretta!
 
TIL that ForeFlight web version has some cloud ahoy features like grading track logs
 
:) That's better in every single respect to any other televised soccer. Especially the part where there's no system for penalties at all, and the entire game, including setup and discussion after, was less than 10 minutes.
 
I am totally entertained to see the “is a Lycoming engine safe” go from a necro post to 2 additional pages. I haven’t looked yet to see where the thread went, but I’m looking forward to it.

I was similarly humored when the “what Jerry does wrong” went down a “cats are wonderful; dogs are wonderful” rabbit hole.
 
Yeah I got notification that two people liked my post in that thread. I don’t remember even making those posts.
 
Dear Mister Cirrus Driver,

When you throttled up to turn into your tie down spot (which BTW isn’t supposed to be a taxi-through spot), I could see the rudder on the Cessna behind you slamming against its stops.

Perhaps one of the your pets posted on your behalf. Do you have a poly dactyl cat at home?
 
I wonder why bestbuy charges $571.99 for a 4 toner cartridge pack when it's $516.96 when you purchase the 4 cartridges individually.

(compare SKU: 10916276 to the cost of SKU: 6577760 plus SKU: 6577763 plus SKU: 6577759 plus SKU: 6577761)

what am I missing?

They are counting on you not doing the math.

A&W introduced a 1/3 pound burger as a one up on the McD 1/4 pounder (at the same price). It failed because people thought 1/3 pound was smaller than 1/4.

People always assume the larger size or bundle packs are a better value, and some companies/retailers use that to their advantage.

Probably the same reason why the plastic package with a green, red, and yellow peppers costs more at the grocery store than if you were to buy them individually.
Convenience.
 
Was just checking weather for tomorrow and happened to notice these PIREPs near ~Spokane WA.
Haven't seen airspeed loss filed in an icing PIREP before. Is that normal? Seems pretty dangerous to me...

other than visually, that's the best way to tell whether you're picking up icing - losing airspeed. a PC12 losing 40kts due to icing is like ... mega severe and pretty scary (other than the fact the plane can carry a load of ice). I think the most I've ever lost was 8-10 kts and I had a lot of ice that time.. solid moderate and the windshield was iced over with "low" windshield heat (had to use high setting to remove it).
 
realized I have a stovetop checklist:

burner 1......off
burner 2......off
burner 3......off
burner 4......off
all burners off......overhead lite off
 
I am really tired of folks complaining about the price of everything.

$8.00 for a coffee, $10.00 for lunch and $12.00 for self parking.

I am just gonna stop inviting them to my house.!!

If their brain is calibrated for a 1990's money scale, I guess they don't need a raise.
 
My thought was if you keep a bowl of pretzels full in the break room, you might never have to give him a raise.

Edit - if that sounds silly, pretty sure that Microsoft used to have coke machines that worked for free in their offices in the late 80's/90's. And hired kids right out of college at lower than competitor wages.
 
Scammer Alert

Should have done my homework and vetted the company better. I ordered something from allavionics.com hoping to save a few bucks, free shipping, no tax etc. anyway, I got a notification through email that my order was received and they will let me know when it will ship. Several days go by so I reply to that notice, “where are we on this shipment?” Got a “invalid email address “ message back. Go back to the website and now it’s a plumbing website with an entirely different name. They never charged my card. I called by bank, cancelled that card and got a life lesson.

And then you wonder why nobody comes over for dinner. Eating uncooked food in the dark just isn't everyone's cup of (cold) tea.
