Restaurant Recommendations

Based on the photos of the food served at Restaurante Martin Beratasegui, each meal better have 20 to 30 courses, or otherwise I'd need one of those Primanti's sammiches afterwards in order to not still be hungry. Plus a lot of the courses look like something you'd find by flipping over a rotten log...

In other news, it looks like Bombardier is finishing up the process of getting rid of its commercial-aircraft business. A couple years ago, Bombardier sold all of the type certificates and production rights for it the older Canadair and De Havilland Canada aircraft—such as the DHC-5 Buffalo, DHC-6 T...

Boeing slowed MAX production due to the grounding, but it hasn't stopped. There are also a bunch of 737s parked at Everett and at some other airports in the Seattle area. The grounding means that commercial flights cannot be done, but ferry flights are permitted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v4Vx...

Traffic Copter

For the last several weeks the state police have been running radar on 279 north in the late evening, and unusually they have been focusing on the stretch between Camp Horne and the City. I've done that commute for over a decade, and I've never before seen the police farther south than the stretch b...

Hot Dogs - How Often Do You Eat Them?

I've had a pack of hot dogs in my freezer for probably more than five years, and it might be closer to ten. I can look at the expiration date on the pack to get a rough idea. The last time I ate a hot dog was when I finished off the second pack that I bought at the same time as I bought the pack tha...

I hope so. Cant manage your affairs then you can't have guns. Then I wouldn't agree. Custodians are appointed for a lot of reasons, and the vast majority of those people are not mentally ill and are not a danger to themselves or others. For example, if Grandpa is a compulsive gambler, his children ...

Having been there, I can absolutely confirm that the Japanese are capable of putting mayo on darn near everything. It's delicious on okonomiyaki and takoyaki.

Mayo is largely gross except in tuna/chicken/macaroni/potato salad.
And pizza.

I can (and actually do) eat mayo by the spoonful at times, especially if it's something I've made from scratch and flavored (like with roasted garlic, or charred scallions, or squid ink). You mean you sometimes eat spoonfuls of aïoli . Just add a pinch of garlic, call it aïoli, and people somehow h...

100% would have thought this was a dodint post. I thought that "Shyster hates California" is one of those things that's every bit as known on here as "Shyster loves sumo." Other than the fairly liberalized drug laws, it's one of the worst states from a libertarian perspective. And there are many go...

Shortest commercial flight I've ever taken was Rochester to Utica, which is about 120 miles by air. That was an emergency trip for my grandfather's funeral. It was USAir mainline from PIT to Rochester and a USAir Express Beech 1900D from Rochester to Utica. I recall the flight being about 25 minutes...

During the limited period where I watched professional wrestling, I remember watching Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "the Brain" Heenan hosting what I believe was a Monday-night show (on the USA network?).

Emirates is launching the world’s shortest A380 route: Dubai to Muscat, Oman, which is a distance of just 340 km or 211 mi. That's a flight distance that is substantially shorter than the total length of all of the wiring that goes into an A380 (approximately 530 km). For many years Japan Air Lines ...
