But I asked about the safety of antique aircraft. The pilot said "These planes are better and more frequently maintained than commercial aircraft." A real labor of love for those men. I didn't feel unsafe for a second. We had a great time. That's what they always say. You're skepticism about the sk...

It may be a bit late but make sure you have enough of your meds on hand and have some packaged and ready to go if you need to evac.

If you believe the "manifesto" is his, consider this piece of irrationality from it: But the idea of deporting or murdering all non-white Americans is horrific. Many have been here at least as long as the whites, and have done as much to build our country. The best solution to this for now would be ...

Why is the Pentagon making this kind of announcement?

I'm old enough to remember when it was nobody's damn business who was going where and when.

Fred Rogers always creeped me out. SHOCK, are you a Communist or something? I totally get it though, its why I said today they'd never let him on the air, if I didn't know better I'd have guessed he was a closeted gay man which back then WAS NOT OKAY on a children's show. But everything I've ever s...

Every time I see this kind of thing blow up I'm reminded of Henry the 4th (part II) wherein the non-person Rumour reaches the castle of the Earl of Northumberland - he being a part of a dangerous conspiracy to overthrow Henry. Northumberland's son was defeated by the king but the gossip has opposite...

Is the reason they are using military bases so that the state child welfare agencies don't have jurisdiction? What's the alternative? Send them to bus stations in cities and hope their family connections can arrange travel for them? Do you think border state child welfare agencies have the capacity...

There is some physical/geography impact, especially on DSL networks that involve your neighborhood/area and the activity of the other users who share the network. At your end of the food chain, simple timing could be everything. Depending on who else is doing whatever they do, your service may be im...

The pastures and Bishops and churches that are more interested in having a 501 status ARE THE MONEY CHANGERS!!!

Shhhh ... genius at work.

It's non-turtles all the way down.

Ah, yet another fan of Sturgill!

Those who "eat nothing " and still gain weight forget to tell you about their nightly expeditions to the fridge. I think it's somewhat more nuanced than that. People convince themselves that some seemingly benign behaviors are suitable and can be acceptable for them at some point in time. "Those tw...

Does caloric restriction cause weight loss? Not according to science! GIbberish. "Dietary counseling" is not the same thing as not having something to eat. If you don't eat, you will lose weight. POWs and refugees can explain this rather vividly. Participants in such studies are rarely subjected to...

You can put five people with the same BMI and put them on the exact same diet and activity regimen and they will differ somewhat in their ability to loose weight over time if intake is reduced. But, I'm sorry for the seeming over-simplification, if you consume more calories and fat than your body ne...

I think the problem is that so many device manufacturers rely on existing technology to accelerate their product development and deployment. Thus we wind up with deployment of devices being rapidly introduced into the clinical environment because of their apparent value in terms of data collection. ...

I fear the rush to connect everything and gather information about us from it is just too tempting and the vendors are taking shortcuts to get products into the market as fast as possible. Using a generic off-the-shelf tablet as an appliance's brain makes perfect sense if you don't give a damn about...

At least in many technology realms, particularly software, where you physically reside and what country you're a citizen of is becoming less and less relevant to the issues surrounding being paid for your work. It's another dividing factor between intellectual and physical labor. In order to work wi...

Did smoked salmon for the fist time today. It must have been good, because it is all eaten (except for a piece I saved for a neighbor) Was a little strange, because the salmon filet had no skin.. so had to do it on foil, which I think ended up giving a very slight off taste. Did a light brine of ab...

If we're really concerned about average intelligence, we could start by paying teachers more. No, even before that we could start treating the educators with a bit more respect. Less of the "our colleges are all left-wing". That sort of chatter has been killing education for decades. People seem to...

Niki Lauda obituary: 'A remarkable life lived in Technicolor' By Andrew Benson Chief F1 writer Niki Lauda, who has died aged 70, was a three-time Formula 1 world champion, non-executive chairman of the world champion Mercedes team, and one of the biggest names in motorsport. He was also a pilot and...

It will be interesting to see what happens - he obviously has competent representation. According to the LA Times he bonded out for only $50,000.

I'm on my own until tomorrow afternoon, as Mrs. FRP is out of town. It's something of a tradition that I make myself a gigantic steak when she goes out of town. I found a recipe years ago for pan fried steak (because I'm frequently too lazy to fire up the grill) that was intended for strip steak. I...

If the company has $80B in sales, I can guarantee that they have a large staff of in-house lawyers who are VERY experienced at litigating cases like yours. You won’t have a chance on your own. You need to find a lawyer experienced in this specific area of law. It’s good that you’ve done your resear...

Watched The Highwaymen on a suggestion from a family member - partly based on the fact that they remember that for a few years I owned a nicely maintained 5-window '33 Ford Deluxe with those weird doors. I cringed at what they did to them in some of the scenes! The fact that I like both Harrelson an...

UK - The babysitter government :snippity: The proposals, put forward in a white paper by the UK's Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, call for a new independent regulator that would police these platforms for harmful content. It will have the power to issue major fines and even hold i...
