Flying the Unfriendly Skies
As I type, there is a small passenger plane (business jet maybe) circling Newcastle New South Wales (for two hours already) losing fuel load and giving emergency services time to set up.
Its landing gear has failed.

Pissed off. SWMBO hadda cold and didn't wanna drive 3 kilometers to the beach to see the show (too much light and too many trees near us in our immediate neighborhood) and its overcast isn't it? (No)

Also, though, jewelry grade diamonds are not so plentiful, and not sought after by miners. Industrial diamonds are where the REAL market is, and they are EASY to mine with explosives. The Argyl mines in Australia almost consider jewelry grade diamonds a nuisance. They can't pass them up of course, b...

Cars, Trucks, and other forms of personal transportation
I had a toll tag when I lived in Dallas. Hated the thing. They would always glitch out my autopay information (I would have it put $X on it ever month, or if I hit 0, it would pull that amount), which lead to me owing money. Rarely got notified I owed money until it was way overdue and they started...

Bragg Manhattan DA charges tfg? Hush money. tfg “INDICATED!”
Years ago, when this story first came out, I had read something about Stormy looking to transition into stand-up comedy now that she was aging out of the adult film industry. I'd buy that ticket. Annie Sprinkle did that, at least for a time. She did a show at The Melbourne International Comedy Fest...

Question. Do some National Guard units receive specialist training for unusual threats? Like say protecting nuclear power plants or dealing with the aftermath of a disaster occuring at one?
Why would rocket launch sites and testing facilities not require similar specialist training?

That is exactly what happened to me. I booked a flight. On the night before I got a message saying it had been cancelled and they would 'try' to get us on another flight.

I can't find the statement now, but I thought I saw someone put forth the idea that the Original Colonists (the Mayflower mob) 'escaped persecution' in England to pursue "religious freedom". This is one of the great American Myths that we should have grown out of long ago. The only religio...
