You know what really grinds my gears...

This is a minor gear-grinder, but I just read a couple posts on X where people were complaining about their flights being delayed and they spent several hours "sitting on the tarmac." Tarmac isn't a place, and it isn't used as a place in aviation circles. Tarmac is a form of layered surface made of ...

You should all be happy to know that Daniel Perry was not only pardoned, but Abbott also restored his ability to own guns. So he's not only free, he's armed.

So I'm not entirely sure 'blaming' the Klan would be appropriate in the case of that 1953 law. I think 'excusing' is maybe more appropriate. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14‑12.3 says: It shall be unlawful for any person to join, unite himself with, become a member of, apply for membership in, form, organize, ...

There is an express exception for motorcyclists in the statute. The intent of the law is to go after and arrest all of the mask-wearing little s**ts who have been doing stuff like blocking roads and setting up "occupation" camps on college campuses. If people don't like the law, blame those folks fo...

It's possible that the courts in NC have interpreted the statute to impose an intent requirement. But if not, then I would disagree with Senator Britt that the statute on its face requires intent to conceal identity. The statutes make it illegal to be in public places "while wearing any mask, hood o...

Well yeah, but a lot of GA manufacturers have gone bankrupt at some point. Beechcraft went BK, Piper went BK multiple times, Mooney went BK and is no longer manufacturing, Columbia went BK and was bought by Textron and made part of Cessna, etc. Even Cessna and Cirrus might have gone BK in the past i...

So you're saying the North Carolina Republican party is advancing this law with the hopes of eliminating the KKK/Proud Boys? Wonder why they included language to allow exceptions for groups such as the KKK or Proud Boys to get permission to wear masks at public events? If you are referring to parag...

Is that why they passed the current law? I would say yes. The title of the bill is "Unmasking Mobs and Criminals," if you look at the various antifa, pro-Hamas, environmental, etc. protests out there these days, pretty much all of the protesters are wearing medical masks. They aren't scared of Covi...

I wouldn't have a problem buying a kit aircraft that I'd built, like something from Vans, which has sold thousands of kits. But of course that's very different from flying an aircraft that you also designed yourself.

Depends on what we mean by "chain restaurant." I mean, if I want a burger, I have no problem going to Wendy's or Five Guys or some fast-food place like that. If we're talking specially about the category of sit-down restaurants that are generally given the label of "casual dining" in the restaurant ...

Hershey caught mice four and five yesterday. Mouse four was DOA, and while mouse five was still alive when I got it away from him and then later released it, I'm betting it didn't survive the night. I'm nicknaming that cat the Black Death.

The Red Lobster on McKnight seems pretty busy to me. This was briefly mentioned on KDKA yesterday.

My gawd man. "fight against the cultural emasculation of men" is a phrase an adult said in a commencement speech. Is this a bit? Not at all. And I would agree with him on that point.
