Politics And Current Events
I'm trying to recall if there was a restaurant between the Roy Rogers and the Chik Fil A. it was a Roy Rogers when I started at Pitt and I think I was in law school by the time the RR switched to something else, so I wasn't in the Cathedral any more at the time. But I want to say there was something...

Outside of occasional special offers, Amazon doesn't offer an option to purchase Kindle Unlimited for more than a month at a time. TIL, however, that it's entirely possible to gift a Kindle Unlimited subscription to yourself. Gifting yourself the 24-month subscription, for example, saves over $100 v...

He doesn’t believe in anything he’s doing; he just knows it sells. That’s being a conman
That is literally every politician.
"If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents, he would promise them missionaries for dinner."

Police earning the hate
Bodycam video. The interaction between the cop and the dog starts around 2:20. Cop kills the dog at 5:35.

Passed my driving test on the first try. It was basically just drive around a little course set up next to what I think at the time was a combined DMV/ PA state police station in Mercer, with no on-road component. I remember the guy doing the test was a uniformed state trooper. It had snowed the nig...

I think the A320 series actually pressurizes slightly at takeoff and then gradually pressurizes during climb. Or at least I think that is what this Airbus publication is saying: https://safetyfirst.airbus.com/app/themes/mh_newsdesk/documents/archives/residual-cabin-pressure.pdf Certainly, 5,000 ft. ...

I might be wrong, but I think there should be some cabin-pressure differential at that altitude? It would be small, but I think it might be detectable.

Seems like it might have been a case of miscommunication between the pilots and the cabin crew, or confusion by the pilots, or the pilots misspeaking. According to the Aviation Herald, the issue was an ECAM warning that one of the over-wing exit doors wasn't sealed, which if accurate would present a...

I haven't paid much if any attention to US open-wheel racing since colossal buttwipe Tony George, a pox on his name, basically ruined the entire genre. I haven't watched an Indy 500 in decades.

https://twitter.com/mvario1/status/1795593782177788050 Officers were so convinced Thomas Perez Jr. had murdered his “missing” father, they spent 17 hours torturing him into confessing to a crime no one had actually committed. Perez Jr. initiated this. He called the police to report his father was mi...

This story is both crazy and tragic. A landslide in a remote area of Papua New Guinea basically wiped out an entire village, with more than 2,000 people unaccounted for. The slide also wiped out the road to the area, so only helicopters can get in for now. https://x.com/Allareblessed2/status/1795322...

I had a really nice intelligence-based build that was almost too powerful. Take the perks in the INT tree for the hack queue and RAM recovery, and buy cyberware that focuses on RAM recovery like RAM Upgrade and RAM Reallocator. The build comes into its own once you can queue three quickhacks on an e...

Finished up Cyberpunk. I generally like open-world games like this, and Cyberpunk is a very good example of the genre. I understand the game was rather a dumpster fire at launch, and the 2.0 patch that accompanied the Phantom Liberty DLC release revamped major aspects of the game, but I think is now...

Like I said in the fantasy thread, Monaco is the absolute worst, miserable, dogs**t track on the calendar, which as usual produced a boring, miserable, dogs**t race. It was pathetic listening to teams radioing their drivers to slow down, and I actually felt bad for David Croft and Martin Brundle as ...

Trump got booed all to hell at a libertarian party rally. He suggested they nominate him and was met with quite the response.

I assume skully will be on American Airlines 1962. Your A321 is currently over Tennessee. I don't see any weather that would have delayed it leaving Phoenix, so it might have been mechanical and not weather. I suppose you could always ask the people getting off if they were given a reason for the de...
