Small questions about Airwolf I've had to sidestep as an aviation professional: how they get parts for the secret one-off helicopter, how they get more missiles and bullets delivered, how they never cancelled a mission because they found a mysterious leak during preflight inspection
I assume ancient cultures would treat this announcement as a dire portent, like an eclipse or sudden storm
Welcome, honorary midwesterners
Suitable for all occasions
Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.
Rubio is clearly not thinking about the consequences of his actions - he's zero moves ahead. I cannot tell if he is unwilling to do it, or unable.
A one-sheet poster for "The Hunt for Red October." The colors are black and red with white type. At top left is a large three-quarter portrait image of the head of Sean Connery as Captain Marko Ramius, printed in red on a black background. Next to his left cheek, rising out of the red as though rising out of the ocean is a submarine conning tower. The tagline to the right reads, "The hunt is on." The title, top-line stars, and credits are printed in the lower third of the poster against a red background.
Today in 1990, “The Hunt for Red October,” adapted from insurance salesman Tom Clancy’s bestselling 1984 first novel, opened in theaters across the United States.
“This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.”
I quote this paper all the time. It's a good reminder to not overthink the most common cases, as much as it is a reminder of the need to think about what has to be different at the ends of the statistical distribution.
Well that's just bad staff work
They forgot to add "numerous foreign spies are also monitoring the operation from mar-a-lago"
As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter
If only Claude had hands with which to play the world's tiniest violin
I wonder how long the project was in progress. This feels like something that had been baking for a while and got sped up with more funding and Congressional pressure.
This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal
Somewhere, someone at a high end audio store is getting sold impedance-matched wet mud

Maneuvering speed (Va) for turbulence in an E35 is 134 knots indicated at max gross weight. Even if he's indicating as slow as 110, that's still a ripping headwind. And yeah, it'll feel like being inside a martini shaker.
I actively avoid MCO, to the point of booking a layover elsewhere like Atlanta or Charlotte and going to a different Florida airport, rather than flying direct to Orlando and driving.
A snip from an aircraft engine manual that reads "WARNING Do not smoke or expose the work area to ignition sources while performing this procedure. Work with clean hands, tools and shop towels." The phrase "Do not...sources" is highlighted.
I'm looking through the fuel system setup documentation (SID 97-3F, if you're wondering) for my airplane's IO-550, and it has this warning. Since there is a story behind every rule, I really want to know what happened at Continental back in the day.

Does DHS check for a featureless, windswept, howling void where a soul should be during the interview process, or is that a day 1 onboarding thing?
Oh, that's simple. Money. And paperwork. But mostly money.
a shame to let this @robgeorge.bsky.social post languish on another platform.
District court judges continue doing yeoman's work pushing back against the administration's lawlessness. Read the whole thread.
As one does
The "Billy Madison" no-bill. "I award you no votes, and may God have mercy on your soul."
It seems possible FAA at least knows the NOTAM is pursuant to an MOU with another agency. It's also possible that a room temperature IQ at that other agency had no idea what they were doing or what they really needed, and got what they asked for.
How many coaches could have the consensus top draft pick sit out and still beat the number one team in the country?
The 90s were ten years ago I will not be taking questions
The number of senators that either have absolutely no idea about how the government works, or are totally comfortable lying about how the government works, is rather astounding
Roger Marshall remains the absolute worst. Come November, we can vote him out so he has as much time as he wants to spend at his house in Florida.
