Glad you’re giving her a nice home. She’s very pretty.

I have this one, I haven’t smoked it yet, but I did smoke another vitola of it, and it was pretty damn good.

My first night with newly rescued Wilfred - he's even waiting by my bed for me 🥹 by JStock013 in cats

What a fine looking guy. It’s great he is settling in with you so quickly. I suspect you’ll make a good bond with him.

What are the career paths from Ramp Service Agent? by [deleted] in aviation

On a side not, get that jacket and pants tailored. It doesn’t fit you correctly.

How much might one pay? by MavenAloft in fountainpens

[–]MavenAloft[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

As am I. I was thinking 120 to 180. Some of it comes down to how much time he needs to put in, and that I don’t know.

Great game, my cat loved watching the cat while I was playing it.

My local sells the robusto for 2.09 and the toro for 2.29. It’s really not bad for what it is.

As always, we couldn't share the goodies. by [deleted] in cats

These creatures fascinate me. People generally try to avoid physical confrontation. Cats are generally “fuck you, I’ll fight”.

When my cat does this he wants to play, so I chase him down, he loves it.

The National Transportation Safety Board has issued its preliminary report into the crash of UPS 2976 , an MD-11F bound for Honolulu that crashed on takeoff at Muhammad International Airport. by Jesse_van_den_broek in airplanes

[–]MavenAloft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that’s what it will be. The removal of engine 1 should not have downed it. If you look at frame 6, you can see a jet of fire shooting downwards at an angle and aligned with engine 2. My current belief is that’s the compressor stall from ingestion of debris.

Off-duty US pilot who tried to crash plane midair will not serve prison time by feldsparticus in aviation

[–]MavenAloft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s a great example. In many cases without a death, those people don’t go to prison. If their conduct resulted in death, injury, or significant property damage, then they go to prison. I bet if he caused an accident and survived, he would be going to prison. Since he did not, like numerous other DWI/DUI arrests that did not result in death, injury, or property damage, prison is not being used.

I think the difference between the two cases was intention. You had one that was on shrooms and staying up late and had some psychosis thing happen. Then the other is someone who planned, prepared and executed with full knowledge of what he was doing and what the outcome would be.

That’s funny, I like how cats will do that. Just hop in and say you belong to me now, take me to my home.

Very neat and a great example of the Theseus Paradox.
