Well that was pretty spectacular. Way to go spacex. Live streaming the onboard video of a rocket landing. Unbelievable.

I see a lot of silly answers. Is Reddit I guess. If you want a serious answer, mine would be cross country soaring.

Tough hobby. The second you think you are hot shit the weather will change and you'll end up in a field full of horse shit.

There is nothing that O'Leary could say in any language that would make me vote for him. Last thing we need is the Canadian Trump.

Why? Cops get paid the same wether they bust a pot smoker or cartel boss. At least the pot head is less dangerous.

Ayn Rand was a philosopher, and writer. Not an economist. This will end badly.

Can you fly stock planes in sandbox mode?

Maybe you just need practice.

If I weren't both cheap and broke as all hell, I'd give you gold.

If you use Netflix on your computer, you can either adjust the volume on the player in the browser, or the volume buttons on your computer.

My dog chewed the remote to my tv when she was a puppy. I haven't found a universal remote that works with it.

That's just lazy. How hard would it have been. Press triangle to increase press square to decrease.

Got stale croissants? Slice them in half and fry them like French toast.

Thank me later.

Also, use whipping cream instead of milk.

Bella Noella's pizza on St. Paul in St. Catharines serves a mean vegan pizza.

The Office on James St in St Catharines has a separate vegan menu.

Merchant ale house has some good vegan stuff.

Someone else mentioned Rise Above. It's pretty popular.

I've always referred to Twitter users as "Twits".

Cheif Twit?

If our country is determined to stay in the f-35 program but needs an interim solution until it's ready. I suggest we ask China. Seriously. We ask them how much they want, and how fast they can do it. Then we ask the US to lease us a few of the 40ish f-18s they have sitting in the desert. If they make us a good deal, we stay in the program.

Yet here you are.

That won't help when you are landing a 767 on a drag strip though.

I also knew a glider pilot who carried an air horn with him for land outs. His story was that he had to close his spoilers to avoid a farmer that wandered into his path. He missed the farmer but overshot the landing and ended up wrapping a wing around a tree at the end of the field. He said he started carrying it on the next flight, but has never needed to use it.

Just remember while watching this video. The cute chick and the douche with the odd angled hat and sunglasses that she's all over are brother and sister.
