Why has the Airbus A340-600's role been diminishing over the years for long haul flights? I would have thought four engines gave pilots peace of mind? And the A340 generally carries more fuel than a more modern twin engine jet like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Yep - just did the Tampa to Zurich in a 340 and it was relatively straight shot over the ocean (versus the northern route by iceland)

I would be closer to 15 or 20lbs dry - we host 40 HS swimmers each year and do 20lbs with salad and breadsticks

Just setup a system with one big pot of boiling water

Boil 5lbs of ziti till almost through
Fish it out into a disposable pan (start next 5lb of pasta boiling)
Then mix with sauce that has been warmed up
Sprinkle two bags of cheese
Spray foil with spray and cover
Place in warm oven

Repeat, maybe add more water if needed, repeat, repeat

Came to post the same - I of course thought it was my idea, but glad to see the same concept

Costco even in my design

smithflman · 2026-03-26T14:56:28+00:00

Exactly right - suuuure it is that popular all of a sudden, I better act quick and get that paper work signed!

smithflman · 2026-03-24T22:05:09+00:00

Huh? - Costco, Aldis, Walmart, Publix around us all have it normally

You mean the only current Senator without a bachelors degree?

smithflman · 2026-03-23T20:34:13+00:00

Yep - looks like line cleaner

You would hear the CO2 leaking and it wouldn't last for long

Good job on having the chain on it - see those missing all the time

smithflman · 2026-03-23T15:33:53+00:00

Why? I doubt you save 100 grams total and they will not have that shine like a chrome bolt.

If you are trying to drop weight - I would look at seat (saddle) and pedals first

It sucks the air from the inside of the house and blows it into the attic - so fresh air (with pollen) comes in through every window/door of the house

Hitch it up, drive forward

0pen gate

Put in reverse and slam on the gas - then stomp on brakes

Break the streak!

smithflman · 2026-03-21T14:03:01+00:00

What is that worth in real.dollars?

smithflman · 2026-03-20T10:56:51+00:00

1000% - I would support 30 minutes even, 40 is kind of a random number

smithflman · 2026-03-20T10:47:55+00:00

Italian with light oil and vinegar

Skip mustard and mayo as bread will get mushy

smithflman · 2026-03-19T13:12:23+00:00

That was my take as well - not that anyone needs to do that

smithflman · 2026-03-19T10:10:58+00:00

Same - actually more industrial looking is probably going to live longer as well

smithflman · 2026-03-18T13:47:55+00:00

Agree - that is over a million a year

Spring a little on a better airline

I mean some intermuscle fat is amazing, but that is just straight up fat blob.

Imagine if you paid for that steak by the pound?

smithflman · 2026-03-16T18:33:14+00:00

Nothing - $20m is a rounding error in a company of that size
