  1. Worst anger management class ever.
  2. You should ask your friends with trucks. They love this type of thing.
  3. The roof of my mouth is probably scarred from all the Cap’n Crunch I ate as a kid. It was worth it.
  4. I watched Schindler’s List for the first time a couple weeks ago. I have no excuse for why I took so long to get it. It was excellent, of course. Never seen The Wire. I’ve liked other crime drama series in the past.. Breaking Bad, Sopranos, Ozark, etc.. But no description of The Wire has been enough to convince me to start it. I’m sure it’s great but I’ve just never felt pulled in to it.
  5. Different color pebble finish too. WTF? Explain yourself.
  6. I did the Easy-Off method on a Lodge once and it was a pain in the ass. It was a total mess and still a significant amount of work. Later I did the oven method with the self-cleaning cycle and found it much simpler and more effective. A few people have reported cracking their pans that way but it seems to work fine for most, and has worked for me several times over the years. I made breakfast tacos this morning in my Smithey cast iron and the scrambled eggs slid around as good as any non-stick.
  7. They were drunker than you thought if they were supposed to fly to PDX and ended up in Maine instead.
  8. Well.. I mean yeah. It's a fair assessment.

  10. They definitely would have already been lit. But there's adjustable levels of brightness. In that visibility, anybody on the approach would've wanted full bright lights. A lot of times you'll start the approach with them on full bright so that you can see the airport sooner but then once you've got the airport in sight, you might want them more dim to make the landing easier. I think the lights in Bangor are pilot-controlled so any pilot can click the mic a few times to make them brighter or dimmer. Sometimes tower will set them full bright thinking they're doing you a favor, but they are obnoxiously bright, and distracting during takeoff so you might want them a little dimmer if you can still see well enough at a lower setting. Especially in snow. Like how you use your dim headlights in fog.
  11. Wow, that's a long wait. It's 1 minute in the 737. I think the guy in that video was using the generic chart which is the most conservative. There are other charts for your specific brand which would have given more holdover time than that). But that holdover time includes the full application of all the fluid which can easily take 10 minutes sometimes or more, the running of the checklist, the wait time to turn the bleeds back on, and the taxi. 15 minutes is next to nothing for all that.
  12. One of the keys on that anti-ice holdover time is making sure you use the time from the beginning of the fluid application, not the end. The difference in time from fluid being applied to one wing compared to the other, could easily be 5 minutes or more. The iceman gives you that start time verbally in his report at the completion of the fluid application. But if these guys were rushed, trying to get through an anti-ice checklist they hardly ever run if they’re Houston based (I probably do that one maybe once a year on average) then they are taxiing with 3/4 mile visibility while one guy‘s eyes are outside and the other one is completely head down going through a takeoff checklist knowing he needs to beat the clock, making frequency changes, checking the SID chart to know what to do after takeoff, etc… It’s a busy time especially when the other guy is laser focused with his eyes outside for the low vis taxi. Somewhere in there, doing the math from when the ice man said the fluid application began until you must be airborne can get easily mixed up. That’s not to mention that the holdover chart probably gave them a range and you gotta dig deep into the fine print to figure out which number in that range is the appropriate one for you today. You get that number wrong or exceed it by a few minutes and you’ve got one wing contaminated while the other isn’t. On the “let there be light” comment, someone else on frequency might’ve just been making a silly joke as they brightened up the runway lights. Or it could’ve been somebody noticing the sky got brighter as there was an explosion nearby and made a stupid joke, not realizing what they had actually just seen. With 3/4 of a mile of visibility, if there was an explosion, most of the people on the airport would’ve not actually seen it directly, just the brightening of the sky. That runway is over 2 miles long.
