This is like the A&W 1/3 pound burger that people thought was a ripoff, "because 3 is smaller than 4, so 1/3 must be smaller than 1/4."

Grab an old innertube, cut it into strips, and put the strips under a stainless steel hose clamps to replace those cable ties. They'll break down with exposure to the elements, and break off eventually.

Red Bluff pilot lands without gear, leaves plane on runway, flies off in another aircraft

There may not be legislation saying so, but I suspect there are regulations covering this type of situation. And I believe the regulators have the power to take away a pilot's license.

I mean, they're not wrong, nothing the pilot could do at that point, other than stand around and answer annoying questions and fill out annoying paperwork.

Maybe it's just my browser, but the words in the article were all smushed into a narrow column. Here's the text from the article: >Two courts in Michigan have ruled that the insurer of a truck must pay $18,000 for damage caused to a small airplane that crashed after clipping the truck as the pilot tried to land in a grassy airfield. >The truck was being lawfully driven on a road when the two-seat Cessna flipped over it and went nose-first into the ground, stopping upside-down in the field. >Truck driver Kevin Gould, of Sand Lake, said he was hauling broken concrete when he spotted the aircraft diving toward him and thought: “I’m done.” >But Gould, now 26, was not hurt in the May 2003 accident that happened just outside of Cedar Springs. Jackson pilot Richard DeGraw, now 64, and his passenger, his wife Karol, also escaped injury. >Dean Wall, founder of Dean’s Landscaping in Sand Lake and the truck’s owner, said he got a letter from the DeGraws a few weeks after the crash. It said a claim was being made against his insurance company seeking payment for the damage to the plane, which was built in 1974 and totaled in the crash. >“I think it’s absolutely absurd and asinine,” Wall told The Grand Rapids Press for a story published Monday. “It’s unbelievable.” >His insurer, Cincinnati Insurance Co., ended up being sued for the plane damage in Rockford District Court. >J. Paul Janes, a Grand Rapids lawyer representing the DeGraws, argued in court that Michigan’s no-fault insurance statute calls for compensation in property damage cases that occur in collisions between motor vehicles designed to be driven upon roads and things that are not, when the collisions do not occur upon roads. >Janes said the plane is not a highway vehicle, and since it struck the truck and never touched the road surface, the accident didn’t occur upon a road. >The definition of the word “upon” was argued, with the use of dictionaries, before District Judge Steven Servaas. >In briefs filed with the court, Cincinnati Insurance lawyer David Campos argued that the definitions of “motor vehicle” and “upon a road” were too narrow and not what the no-fault statute intended. >Servaas sided with Janes in a ruling issued in November 2004. The judge’s decision was affirmed this month in an appeal made before Judge James Robert Redford in Kent County Circuit Court. >Janes said the no-fault law is clear in this case, proven by the fact that two judges have studied it and reached the same conclusion. >Campos, who specializes in Michigan no-fault law, said the system is still a good one for insurance companies and their customers but some changes are needed. >He also said it is unlikely that an $18,000 verdict will prompt his company to fund further appeals or lead to the Legislature taking any action. >DeGraw said he has not received the money to replace his wrecked airplane, valued at $21,000. But Wall, the truck’s owner, said he now has a $59,000 claim on his insurance record that reflects the cost of defending the case.

Question: If you donate one of your kidneys, how do they figure out which one to take, right or left? Do they flip a coin? Answer. They always take the right one, so you have one left.

Tenzipper@reddit

Draining a 75 gallon tank is not a trivial exercise, and half full, plus substrate, it's still going to be 400 pounds, and it would break if you tried to move it like that, tanks aren't strong enough to be moved with water in them, especially large ones. You either empty it out and move it, or you disguise it.

2026: Updated Rules on Politics

OK, but what if the FAA, (or whatever,) IS doing XXX due to a specific action from a specific politician? I'm not arguing to be a pain, I just want to be sure what the standards are, for myself, as well as others. I can see this being a point of contention, as politics obviously have a huge effect on the industry. I know this is not an easy task for you. One of the reasons I don't volunteer to be a mod, I've spent my time in the barrel many moons ago, on forums that don't even exist anymore.

ULPT how to ruin neighbour's shoes

Posted by Angry-Spite346@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 301 comments

Tenzipper@reddit

Don't ruin the neighbor's shoes. Just buy a pair exactly the same, but a size larger or smaller, then replace just one. Repeat weekly, but replace both, always making one a different size. Continue until they can't get them on their feet, or until their feet just slip out. Or make piss cubes in your freezer, and drop one in each left shoe at night, so they can melt overnight, and then they squelch on alternate steps.

LOL, had this experience with a flight out of McCarran. Wondered if we were going to take off from the taxiway, then suddenly stopped, and one of the engines shut down. Pilot came on the PA and said, "Well, we were cleared to take off before Air Force 1 got here, but we didn't quite make it, so now we wait while they land and taxi in. Sorry about the delay."

I rarely roll my windows down, due to allergies. Plus you filter out more bad smells when you have the windows up. They still get through, but not quite as pungently.

Don't know the elevation difference between the runway and the camera, but seems to be looking north, as you can see the VOR past the end of the runway, past the road.
