“This one time, on an away mission…”

Still preferable to what his boss gets up to.

Natural uranium mostly emits alpha particles. It’s dangerous if you eat or inhale it, but the wood in the nightstand drawer is going to be enough to block them.

I didn’t realize they shot multiple models at once. I had assumed they had one model that they shot multiple times and composited together. I suppose you save time this way, at the cost of making the shot a little trickier to make sure the support of the front X-Wing doesn’t obscure the ones behind it.

Happy Father’s Day!

Wearing the “I really don’t care, do u?” jacket when going to visit a migrant child destination center tells you all you need to know about her.

Now we have two summer holidays

And that’s a bad thing?

They’ll wait to decide if they need to release it until mid November, once they know what states’ elections they want to try to undermine.

B-52s were built 1952-1962, but the earlier models were all retired and destroyed when nuclear disarmament treaties capped the number of bombers. Only the final production variant, the H series, from 1960-1962, remain operational.

The C-130 and U-2 families also date back to the 50’s, but again, only later production runs remain in service today. (Though these two planes remained in production much longer than the B-52 or the KC-135.)

Is the station made out of… wood?

Man is stuck between a rock and a hard place. He doesn’t want to make this election a referendum on abortion, because as we’ve seen in ballot measures in the past two years, he can’t win that fight. However, his base won’t accept anything but a hardline stance. Must suck to be him, couldn’t happen to a worse person.

At least. If you work an 8 hour day, a 0.5 hour commute each way adds an extra 12.5% to work time commitment each day, and it’s considered unpaid time.

Why does Broke Don keep getting special treatment?

The airlines can end this practice pretty quick by charging less for a direct flight to the connecting city than they do for a two-legged flight though it. We prohibited the railroads from doing this sort of thing back in 1887 with the Interstate Commerce Act.

Why is he so against feeding the poor?

I love how, despite Musk’s best efforts, 3/4 of the internet still calls the site Twitter.

Air BnB is destroying the housing market in my area. That said, it’s exposing a demand for something that doesn’t otherwise exist. In addition to hotels, people also want to be able to rent larger spaces, with a kitchen so they don’t have to eat out every night, and multiple bedrooms so the adults don’t have to go to bed at the same time as the kids. Hotel developers should be taking notes.

The last 747-400 passenger plane rolled off the production line in 2005. This is either going to be a maintenance issue or the engine ingesting debris or a bird, not faulty construction. Boeing doesn’t even make the engines, it’s either GE, Pratt & Whitney, or Rolls Royce, depending on the original owner’s preference.

The fact that a majority of voters did not want Trump to win makes me simultaneously feel happy (that I’m not surrounded by idiots) and more depressed (that the Electoral College has screwed us AGAIN!)

Honestly, how is the average person supposed to tell the difference between a federal raid and gang activity?
