So 80% of the drivers in my town.

I'm cool with that.

Maybe later, I'll ride my pogo stick into town and buy a lottery ticket.

Tiny town in the middle of the desert between LA and Death Valley. It only exists for the massive military areas that surround it, and are probably radioactive.

Water skiing?

You're right, I missed a step there.

And how is Panera a thing? It like upscale Subway for fatsos.

It's pretty much in my backyard, so I could be your point man if it starts to pan out.

Traditionally dive bars and shady used car lots, but gentrification has been marching northward.

And if it lived its whole life here in the 4th corner, there a good chance it isn't rusty.

Ain't cheap, but it's pretty

Sink or swim!

Lucky kid. That's a nice car.

Damn, if only this had been posted a day earlier... I was just in Lake Shitty, and hungry, and not in the mood for my usuals. Empanadas and Alfajores would've been perfect.

They do use salt in Washington, just way, way less of it. And it's usually in the form of brine as opposed to the massive chunks of rock salt they use in BC.

And it's not because it's rural, it's...

"He had a great arm in high school. Coulda gone all the way! Shame about the knee.

Did somebody say Fedex?

"We can't go to every door."

lol, yep.

If it didn't have auto-cameras pointed everywhich direction I'd just "create" a little extra space.

omg Luna is so cute.

I'm the pickup (obv)

Don't Teslas stop on their own?

That's pretty shit money for the requirements of an accounting degree & certification, and possibly of getting shot.

What if I like wonder bread?

I knew I'd get a bite. I chose 20 because I see lots of 25+ domestic trucks around here (no salt, not much rust) but at some point the reliability tanked, and people dumped them. I don't really see a...

Yeah, cause it's totally common for 20 year American trucks to be driving around with 300,000 plus miles on them. I see them everywhere! /s

You can't work in aerial fire suppression without going to at least one funeral.

Yes. The down going blade has a higher angle of attack due to the nose high attitude of the aircraft.

I didn't want to get too far into the weeds with the explanation so I left out the part where...

A large windmilling propeller can create so much drag that pilots colloquially say it's like a sheet of plywood.

Add to that, the tractor force of a propeller isn't balanced from the center. It's...

Great story.

Insane. That's more than it sold for brand new twenty years ago.

That's good advice. Can't go wrong with overkill.

And the typical wine fridge doesn't draw much current. If it were me, I wouldn't worry about a separate circuit. Blender and microwave are the two...

A veritable hat trick.

Yeah, that's amateur hour. The fridge gets its own branch circuit has been standard for decades. Same for the dishwasher. Lights and receptacles don't mix in main living areas unless you absolutely...

Pretty sure it was a misunderstanding. The aircraft was specifically designed as a jump plane and that company was apparently using it as such, so the controller probably thought he was wearing a...

[thinking] well there goes my chance of getting hired by a major

It's very unlikely that the aircraft had CVR/FDR. It's just a small plane for recreational skydivers, and moving cargo around.

My thought exactly.

You don't even want to know what he said about his Love Gun

Bring out The Gimp

ahhh...

Not only that, Einstein (who the quote is most often attributed to) never even said it.

The two passport thing isn't a problem for nexus. Anyone born in the US will have to use USA as the "issuing country" but other than that they don't care.

Yeah, or just generally. The cast take their cues from the director.

I was doing a rolling edit there, so you might've missed the others:

Aside from automagic transmission, I like this one...

And why are the tie-downs in the rear cargo area rusty?

That would actually be pretty cool.

Now that I see it up close, it get that it's commemorative. 68 million miles. That's over 2700 trips around the earth!

Yeah

EPS is negative, Tritton was a disaster, their debt could be purchased at pennies on the dollar, the local store closed, yet insiders were buying. And 1 out of three shares were short...

Strange choice of aircraft type considering Delta doesn't have any 747s.

What's the definition of irony?

Or a hat trick. That's hockey hall of famer Cam Neely of the Boston Bruins.

Does your town have a noise ordinance? Ours is 7 and pretty much all of the pros respect it. Homeowners OTOH...

Ha! Nick called it.
