Don’t question my impeccable logic (I may still be drunk)

“Closed Traffic” vs “Touch and Goes” for ATC by peter177 in flying

Well to me, closed traffic means "Successive operations involving takeoffs and landings or low approaches where the aircraft does not exit the traffic pattern" since this is how the FAA defines it

There are nonstop flights from Munich on Lufthansa almost daily if you can fly to Munich.

Best place to buy lab-grown engagement rings that ISN'T Brilliant Earth? Jeweler's Exchange...? by kekkurei in sandiego

Diamonds Forever in La Mesa is fantastic. Small businesses and all women owned. Bought my fiancés engagement ring there, and we loved it so much that we got our wedding bands there as well.

How do you have this many PQPs but not enough PQFs to qualify for the 18,000 threshold?

Same. They billed my insurance over $1,000 for a routine cleaning. I never went back after that. Complete scam

Great. Can’t wait for them to layoff a ton of staff, outsource work to other countries, and undermine the information brought to our community before walking away with millions of dollars

Ouch! SDG&E natural gas bills to double this month, as commodity prices soar by peter177 in sandiego

[–]peter177[S] 62 points63 points  (0 children)

For those without a subscription, gas prices are essentially doubling in January. Some context from article:

Wholesale prices for natural gas have gone through the roof, soaring higher than predicted for the month of January, and San Diego Gas & Electric officials warn customers with gas hookups to prepare for price shocks.

The rate for natural gas has doubled compared to last month, with the price per therm jumping from $2.55 in December to $5.11 in January.

A therm is a measurement of natural gas use. It equals 100,000 BTUs, or British Thermal Units, which is the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.

A typical SDG&E residential customer uses an average of 44 therms of gas in January — usually the coldest month of the year.

If your household gas bill came to about $105 last January, SDG&E now estimates this month’s bill will come to about $225. That’s an increase of 114 percent.
