  1. You want to go peacefully in your sleep? Not screaming like your passengers? /sorry. It couldn't be helped. Gallows humor.
  2. There used to be a Corsair that flew out of the old Andrau Airpark in Houston when I still was flying (student) in the early 90s before moving to W. Houston airpark. I'm not sure if it was the original P&W rebuilt somehow, but that engine was loud AF and sounded like the voice of an angry god. It's on the runway, quiet idle, then, all of a sudden: FOGHORN! Spec-tacular.
  3. He'll declare it the worst thing to happen in aviation all day.
  4. Other area pilots reporting icing at altitude. /edit to add, I read this second hand. Obviously, a single engine failure could be possible, which would have made a spin like that hard to recover from. But damn, to end up a flat spin an aircraft that size is a pretty uncommon situation to say the least.
  5. My only regret is that I have only one rep to give this. Pragmatism is key here.
  6. She got a wallet that says "Bad Motherfucker" on it.
  7. That, and every accusation is a confession.
  8. On my most recent Sopranos rewatch, I appreciated the pilot more than I ever have. That's to say that it didn't hit me hard out of the gate, but as it sits with the series, it's pretty exceptional. Mad Men probably edges it out pretty well though.
  9. Uh, oh, that's going to reduce his score on the person-woman-man-camera cognitive test.
  10. Seems like they are short on supply of video of her talking policy, which they can cut up, re-edit, and turn into some sort of bullshit narrative that suits them.
  11. She's doing fine. She doesn't need to let Donald and company dictate how she runs for President.
  12. Exactly. He retired after 24 years. Welp, I guess I have no choice but to vote for the geriatric sociopath and his sofaphiliac running mate. This is such quaint, 2004 politics.
  13. Remember folks, and young women in particular, there are two different types of men running in this race, albeit for different spots on the ticket. There's a third type, but that's more of a furniture situation.
  14. It's comparable to gas in that the changes to temperature settings are immediate. You turn the flame down, it's down (as opposed to an electric element). You turn it up, it's up. There is no lag in the heat source because there is no medium. It's the same with induction. There is no coil to heat up or, if you turn it down, that is releasing heat into the pan. The pan is heated directly by the magnetic HOB or the gas flame directly. Otherwise, they're not 1:1 comparable. Induction is far more efficient than gas in heating up a pan. Gas can be better at heating up the side of the pan. Both can have issues with hot spots and cold spots depending on the type of gas burner or the size of the induction HOB relative to the size of the pan.
  15. They're perfect to read in that order though. 11/22/63 is my favorite; IT is a close second.
  16. The lizard-dildo of consequences rarely comes lubed, and it wouldn't matter if it did.
  17. The correct response to his comparing himself to anyone from Entourage is:
  18. He'll be playing the part of Turtle on the casting couch.
  19. It's okay when South Austin does it. When you're a celebrity, they let you do that.
  20. Oh gawd, you posted a yarn. Prepare your anus.
