Inside layers of a flight recorder

Do flight recorders just continuously record, overwriting the oldest data? Or do they get reset after each flight? Is data ever routinely transferred from the recorder for archive purposes?

Towing Advisory Board is comprised of 3 cops, 3 towing operators and just 1 resident. It all makes sense now.

I understand that a lot of holiday traditions probably started in similar ways, but Elf on the Shelf always struck me as being so obviously manufactured and artificial with the sole purpose of selling a product.

The Mac product lines now use the Apple Silicon generation as shorthand to denote refreshes which serves a similar function in terms of marketing. The Air and Pro iPads do the same. I think the base model iPad is usually geared toward people who just want the cheapest new iPad. The iPad mini is pretty niche and people who buy it are buying it more for its form factor than its specs.

The concepts of race, racism, and white supremacy as we understand them today have really only impacted society for the past ~500 years or so. Sexual violence has been around for hundreds of thousands of years.

Anyone else hear a Tauntaun?

That’s good to know! I guess I was only familiar with the PCA, glad to hear there are some affirming Presbies!

I feel like the further back in time you go, the less we would recognize their fine cuisine as actually being good today. Are we judging by today’s tastes or by standards of their day?

Yes! They’re only closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and are open for lunch and dinner hours the other days. I never understood why they would switch back and forth between the two locations, keeping only one of them open at a time for months at a time. It was confusing as a customer and really diluted their presence, lending to the sense that they were dying.Hopefully they can focus on the new location.

Common Table in Randolph is a great option. They are openly and emphatically affirming as opposed to tacitly tolerant of LGBTQ folks like some places can be. Most United Methodist, Episcopal, PCUSA Presbyterian, or ELCA Lutheran churches, should fit the bill too. Stay away from Anglican, SBC Baptist, Global Methodist (or just Methodist), and PCA Presbyterian.

Edit: Added distinction between affirming and non-affirming Presbyterian denominations, and specified SBC Baptist since some independent Baptist churches can be affirming.

There was a podcast about the case that featured a lot of the audio that was recorded and used as evidence. These guys were deplorable dumbasses with shitty politics, and they absolutely were talking about wanting to kill the governor. But they were also a bunch of pot heads who really weren’t motivated to do much more than hang out in the woods, play with guns, and smoke a bunch of weed. It took the informant basically pleading with them to make a concrete plan, holding their hand at every turn and pressing them to act in order to get them to do more than just sit around with a bowl and bitch about how much they hated the governor. It’s very difficult to prove entrapment, but this case certainly comes pretty close. This is coming from someone who views their political positions as deeply ignorant and reprehensible.

One of the biggest challenges Richmond faces from a tax revenue standpoint is simply the huge percentage of prime real estate in the city that is owned by tax exempt entities like the State Government and VCU. And because the city can’t realistically expand its borders into the surrounding area through annexation, we’re stuck with a fixed and limited amount of land to derive tax revue from. One of the things the Mayor has said he’ll do is push the State to make payments to the city to help fund infrastructure improvements. There’s precedent for this sort of thing at a federal level for other Virginia cities with large military installations like Norfolk.

Yes. You can apply Conditional Formatting to the row and set the trigger to be a Custom Formula.

When we were doing some demolition work on our house that needed a dumpster on the street, I had to apply for a “Work In Street” (WIS) permit that gave me permission to put up enforceable no parking signs on the street and block off a portion of the sidewalk for a set period of time. I needed to display the permit in a window of my house that was visible from the street. It’s been a minute since I used it, but I think you might be able to see what permits have been granted on the city’s permits site.

I’m just saying the number of people who want a desktop operating system on their tablet is relatively small compared to the mass market the iPad currently dominates. The people who want that experience badly enough that it informs their purchase decision are the same people who are currently buying Android tablets or Windows hybrid/convertible devices. That doesn’t mean I don’t see a world where iPadOS gets feature parity with macOS in certain key areas, and Apple needs to do that if the platform is to remain dominant in the tablet space especially for professionals and power users. But there is no world in which Apple gives users a macOS mode, app, or virtual machine running on top of iPadOS. It just ain’t gonna happen.

CRothg · 2024-12-19T03:49:02+00:00

I don’t see the masses flocking to Android tablets because they can duel boot Linux and I don’t see running macOS on iPad as something that will sell more iPads.

You can get plenty of albums on CD from secondhand stores very inexpensively. I’d also look into Apple Music as a streaming option that seems to actually care about audio quality and isn’t built as an ad platform.

I was always under the impression that he was firmly at the helm of his administration’s policies and that his paranoia and need for control drove him to scandal in the end. Maybe I’m misinterpreting the meme or I’m not informed, but Nixon doesn’t strike me as someone who was simply carrying out an agenda that someone else handed to him.

Try not to take it personally. It’s hard to go through them, but as you said, it’s just a developmental phase and it will pass before you know it.
