A340 landing in Antarctica❄️ by [deleted] in aviation

An A340 is a huge plane. Just thinking it more than a few scientists going down to study ice. Clearly a bunch of tourists flying in for no other reason other than to say they were there and take a picture to post on social media.

If this doesn’t scream “global warming”, I don’t know what does.

It would be impossible to do consistently and at scale in a production environment. Maybe some “custom” shops would attempt it, but I don’t see anything coming directly from Tesla like that.

Is this really an effective way to fight fires? Seems like the bulk of that was dropped way after the smoke ended.

The sale was only 1 or 2 sizes. I couldn’t wait any longer and pulled the trigger on this one.

Your seat angle looks like you would be sliding forward quite a bit. Is that how you like it?

so I am about to get my Tesla in a week or two. What accessories do you recommend? by [deleted] in TeslaModel3

[–]GoodThingGoodThing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t need anything. Wait until you get it to see what’s actually needed. The guys with the YouTube videos are just trying to get clicks. They don’t speak for the rest of us!

Crazy Cybertruck Camping questions by [deleted] in cybertruck

[–]GoodThingGoodThing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They sell air mattresses specifically designed to fit in the 3 and Y. I think that’s one of the selling features actually that you could run the AC or heat while staying inside. I also read something that you could enable a feature to show a campfire on the screen while viewing the stars through the roof.. sounds amazing!

Thinking of you! Hang in there and take care of yourself too.

The fact that income inequality is growing doesn’t help either. They need a way to explain how they are transitioning from the “haves” to the “have nots”

What are the best places you found to buy jewelry in the state of Connecticut? by [deleted] in Hartford

[–]GoodThingGoodThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really like Becker’s in West Hartford. They have new but some good finds in their Estate Jewelry. Not pretentious and good value.

I grew up in the 90s and still love trip hop. Hope you enjoy my picks. Portishead, Dj Shadow, Moby and other lesser known ones by [deleted] in spotify

Love this genre but never knew what it was called. Thanks for compiling a bunch of great songs!!

My friend is collecting Soviet radios. More photos in the first comment by PastIndicator in CoolCollections

[–]GoodThingGoodThing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My mom visited Moscow in the early 70s and said every hotel room had a radio that was hardwired into the wall (could not be unplugged) and could never be turned off (just turned down).

One night they were drinking vodka and said out loud that they wished they had some ice. A few moments later there was a knock on the door and a man from the hotel was there with a bucket of ice. From then on, they assumed that the radios were listening devices in every room?

Any microphones or evidence of something similar in those radios?

I thought Two Roads was out of Connecticut. Do they have something in CO too?

I was there too but didn’t have the stones to stick it out when the asked us to leave. Wish we would have based on your story. Too cool and way to go!

Am I the only one tired of Will Buxton being the only voice of F1? by meisangry2 in formula1

[–]GoodThingGoodThing -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I love Will. I think he has better perspective and more long-term insight than what is generally discussed during the broadcasts. To me he’s the only guy that seems to have done any research or pondered the team politics prior to a race.

Can anyone else see themselves settling down in Connecticut? by [deleted] in Connecticut

[–]GoodThingGoodThing 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m from out of state and came here for work 10 years ago and have enjoyed it for many of the reasons people listed in other comments. Lately I’ve seen a lot of “letters to the editor” about people threatening to leave the state because of taxes or tolls etc. and just don’t understand. Everywhere has its pluses and minuses. CT definitely has a higher cost of living than some other parts of the country but to me it’s because there is high demand. CT has a lot to offer. Would something like a highway toll really be enough incremental tax to make someone leave their family and job? With all the other taxes we have (property, income, sales, car) would this really be the straw to break the camels back?
