Depends on what you want to do with the aircraft. If I just want to go up and putter around in the sky on nice days, then the classic six-pack of steam gauges will be plenty. If I want to fly cross-country IFR flights, however, then I want stuff like GPS navigation, WAAS approaches, coupled autopilo...

Shyster *would* need a glass cockpit, huh? Probably the kind of guy to buy a pistol with LASER sights. Not yet. When I first saw the whole trend of "optics ready" pistols, I thought it was a stupid idea. The crappier my vision gets, however, the more I'm seeing the merits of a red dot on a handgun....

There are guys at my sportsmen's club who are in their 70s and older who could wipe the floor with me on the trap or skeet ranges.

Not surprisingly, that looks a lot like my friend Shlomo, who is (a) Jewish, and (b) from Israel.

I've thought a bit about retirement. I don't think I'd like places like Florida or Arizona because I hate hot weather. I'd like the weather in San Francisco, for example, but there's no way in hell I'm ever moving to California (or any other state bluer than PA). Golf doesn't interest me (the only g...

My mother had bought whatever the top, gold-plated, Cadillac Medicare plan was. Her estate didn't owe a penny for any of the treatment she received, including the air-ambulance flight from Butler to AGH.

I would say that if you're away from the ocean, it's even more important to know the fish monger, because issues like freshness become even more important. My brother is on a first-name basis with the guys at Penn Avenue Fish Company.

Piada makes delicious and wonderful food and is a wonderful company with wonderful employees.
Also, if Piada ever needs legal services in western PA again, they should totally hire the law firm that represented them the last time.

More than half of police killings in the US are unreported in government data, study finds https://news.yahoo.com/more-half-police-killings-us-223002158.html More than half of police killings in the U.S. are not reported in official government data, and Black Americans are most likely to experience...

@shyster I agree with that risk perspective post to an extent, but take issue with the example. The difference between flying and driving is not about probabilities, but the semblance of control that driving affords versus being on a plane. I just think it’s a different psychosis at play. Personal ...

Shyster. What are the stats of MIMH sucking.
Believe it or not, that risk is actually underestimated.

Look up "three gun shooting." Here's an example:I didn't even know that was a thing but I'm not surprised.The type of shooting he does, it does. It's one of those shooting things where you run through obstacle courses and whatnot.

2) we have about a month until vaxes are a go. the social expectation is that we protect them, not indefinitely, but for another few weeks. So Billy Bob sneezing ronies into his kid, who then sits next to my kid at lunch…that’s a particularly inexcusable phenomenon. Once everyone is actually eligib...

Last week I was at a conference that was a part of Boston’s biotech week. These medicines have come light years in just the last 5-10 years. What they can do and how they do it is amazing. I visited a customer of ours that produces siRNA therapeutics. Holy crap was their facility impressive. Their ...

If someone in the audience loudly farts in the middle of 4′33″, is that interfering with the performance, or is that a solo?

To be a little more clear, B cells are a type of white blood cell. They create antibodies, which are proteins used by the immune system to identify and attack foreign objects (which could be viruses, bacteria, parasites, you name it). Antibodies are one of the main ways our immune system responds to...

Georgia Tax Crimes Unit Illegally Spent Asset Forfeiture Funds on Trinkets and Swag A state watchdog concluded an office in the Georgia Department of Tax Revenue illegally kept $5 million in forfeiture funds and spent it partially on swag like sunglasses and engraved guns https://reason.com/2021/09...

There are other forms of immune response than antibodies. That some folks with prior infections do not have detectable antibodies does not necessarily mean that those people are the equivalent of people who have never been infected.

A lot of current Hondas look to me like they were just in a very minor front-end fender-bender that smashed out parts of the grille. I'm not overly fond of their current styling theme.

I guess this place is fairly known in the foodie community, but I just ran across Rancho Gordo: https://www.ranchogordo.com/ They grow and sell heirloom beans. They offer dozens of varieties that I've never heard of. I just bought 10 lbs worth, as well as a couple of their cookbooks.

I have the same engine in my Kia Forte5 hatch that the turbo Soul offers. I'm very fond of it. It's tuned more for plentiful torque than high horsepower, but 200 is nothing to sneeze at, especially for a relatively light car. Not sure why the basically the same engine in the Kona turbo offers like 1...
