It’s not just the 70s nostalgia and the cameos, but also the direction details like the transitions between diagetic and non-diagetic background music. Lots of clever details.

Because doing the obviously right thing here is seen as “communism” by 30 to 50% of the population, and notably by almost all of the deep pockets who fund political candidates here.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.
The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

Or to cool it down to a more reasonable temperature.

I do enjoy the moments when I go against my GPS route and it recalculates an earlier arrival. One of life’s little victories.

Same experience going out to CA. Need to find some crummy motel that the company paid for somewhere on El Camino Real at midnight? Good luck. The numbering goes up and down and resets on invisible town boundaries. Just miles of sameness between San Bruno and San Jose.

My mother-in-law was one of the many local volunteers who worked on this site. It is an amazing place.

When you read the actual bill, it’s even dumber.

As a pilot, describing the Part 91 rules as a “loophole” is just extremely weird.
But he definitely makes a good point about how the medical certification system encourages people to avoid diagnosis and treatment. It’s not great.

Timothy Matlack, though most give Thomas Jefferson the primary credit.

I thought the PBS broadcaster’s name was Noel Adams until I was 26. The woman sitting next to me at a dinner corrected me to say that it was “Noah.” We’ve been married 32 years.

It just means “can be burned easily.” It comes from the same root as “to inflame,” which means to set on fire.
It doesn’t mean “explosive” or even “detonate” or “deflagrate.” Just that it burns.
(“Flammable” is a synonym because some people see “in-“ and think “not-.”)

This seems plausible. A leak there would let the fuel pump suck in air instead of fuel.

I presented this case at our Nashua IMC Club meeting last night, and a T-41 pilot had a suggestion: he had the same kind of symptoms, and it was caused by a bad seal in the gascolator drain.

Besides throwing trans and immigrants under a bus, it means these Republicans want the Democrats to keep fielding the shame shitty center-right presidential candidates they’ve run since I held my nose and voted for Fritz in 1984.

*leans in aggressively* They were good, but never as good as Emerson, Lake & Palmer! With or without the serial comma!

Yeah, it’s a little weird if you’re on the outside like me. I popped over to news apps to check if something major was going on. I saw nothing and figured it must be some game.

It is kinda neat how they’re on that consistently jaunty angle, though.
