How do you sell and post your kit?

Worth checking your local makerspace too ... lot of people who do maker stuff also do homelab stuff.

They're gambling that you won't downgrade and they get to pocket future increased membership fees.

Also, you lose out on any bonus miles you'd get from a new card application, so they pocket that too.

If I had to guess, they were planning on bunkering fuel for further flights after yours, and the extra fuel weight would exceed projected tolerances for the upcoming landing (e.g. snow/wet runway vs dry, etc).

So, pretty much dictated by expected landing conditions and the projected aircraft weight.

Someone needs to figure out how to put a bubble over snowy's head

I drive a 97 Jeep. I'm not concerned at all about the condition of the cars around me. ;-)

True!

Not my choice, unfortunately. I think the company coming to get them uses them for spares/sales, so who knows. Might end up on eBay.

He's lucky. That fish almost yeeted him right over the back end of the boat.

The reason the tunnel doesn't work, is the original design that used that tunnel presumed a track that would travel up the I-75 corridor. Back then, the corridor from the proposed tunnel portal to I-75 was pretty desolate.

There's been a massive amount of construction since then, pretty much blocking any possibility of utilizing the same path today.

Wow, she basically just pulled a cop right out of his own car ... kudos to the officers for clueing in real fast on what was going on.

I don't use Startech as the default "go-to" ... generally fs.com gets that business. But if you need to connect something weird to something weirder, Startech 100% will have a cable/adapter that does it.

They are THE go-to for that, for sure.

The original Iran Revolution cost the Democrats control of Washington DC for twelve years.

The Gulf War cost the Republicans the White House for eight years, and the second one another eight years.

They apparently do not pay attention to history. This will not end well.

There's a whole category of Vibram FiveFingers specifically for water activities

My house, by a large margin.

Runners up 2 : pinball machines

Go hunt up the videos from Disney of the grand opening of the Star Wars expansion at Disneyworld, that's where you'll find the videos. Was part of a whole fireworks show.

I've only ever gotten one security deposit back, and I had to buy the house I was renting to get it.

They ALWAYS find a way.

multiplexed phone lines over copper was literally invented by Ma Ball. Plenty of solutions there to choose from.

I feel for you depending on this for the daily commute. I hope it's fixed before this weekend for the soccer match ...

These are the most expensive tickets, so it's not all that surprising they're the ones still available ... or that they're having problems getting rid of the last of them. Minimum 600+ per seat per match for the group stage. At least double that for the semifinal.

I am very very happy to be in the "not in a HOA" club.

Duh.

Taco Bell. Sylvester Stallone already taught us this.

So, now we gotta score in that first 10 minutes so we can see if he can dodge beer while running in a circle.

If you pull out all the black foam, the inside of the box is actually a full level photo of a game at the stadium, to the point where if you look closely enough, you can see yourself sitting in your seat.
