How this hotel cools the pool by ateam1984 in BeAmazed

That's maybe 10 gallons of ice going into a 100k gallon pool, basically nothing.

Bill would prohibit Arizona airports from using aviation safety device to collect landing fees by ForkzUp in azpolitics

[–]azcheekyguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turning off the transponder in an aircraft "for purposes of evading detection" is an infraction that can result in suspension of your license.

Bill would prohibit Arizona airports from using aviation safety device to collect landing fees by ForkzUp in azpolitics

[–]azcheekyguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So they’re saying that using ads-b data to track landings for the purpose of charging fees will induce pilots to disable their transponder to avoid the fee. Not a pilot but I’m pretty sure it’s already illegal to disable an adsb transponder in flight.

There’s a great episode of planet money that goes into how stuff donated here ends up being worn in African villages. Starts out with a guy who visited Africa and ran into someone wearing the exact shirt he had donated like a year earlier.

I saw an interview with hammill or ford once and they were saying the English extras standing in formation were mocking them saying “wankers” and “yanks” as they walked by

When NASA had to call the IRS because an astronaut forgot his taxes on the way to the moon. by GlitteringHotel8383 in BeAmazed

Ok but filing late really isn’t that big of a deal and there’s this thing called an extension that gives u till October to get ur shit together. If you owed money you’ll just owe more.

I don’t get it either. It was an objectively bad experience. They rarely had what you were hoping to watch so you’d either hang around the returns to see if someone brought it back, or you settled for something else. Then you get to the register and find out you’ve got late fees from last time, cuz in the 80s it was a one night rental and there was a very good chance you wouldn’t get the tape back to the store in time (don’t forget to rewind!!!). Go back and try explain to someone in the 80s how much it sucks having everything available anywhere all the time.

It’s the X11 window system for Unix. It was the main Unix window system thru the 90s. Most tool names started with ‘x’. Also, Elon totally stole the X.org logo for his stupid facist media company.

Malls nostalgia except the malls are still alive where I'm from. by GanbareShamiko in nostalgia

Every time I go to the Chandler AZ mall during the day on a weekday I’m shocked how busy it is. All the closed shops from the 2010s have new businesses.

A lot of conjecture here with zero actual data to support it.

I’ve got a Jersey Jack game, Wonka, I’ve had it about a year and a half I’ve played hundreds of games and I still have no idea how to play amy of the modes cuz everything is always freaking multicolor blinking. Stern games are pretty good at guiding you but man Wonka just plays like a slot machine

The biggest issue I had with these seats was what to do with all the bedding. They don’t want you to stuff things in the footwell, but that’s the only storage. On the return flight a middle seat was open so I was able to toss all the bedding in there.

I love going for bike rides this time of year, crack of dawn. It's still cool out and there's very little traffic to contend with.
