    34, feeling lost, lonely

    Based on what I’ve observed over the years, if you want to really attract women you should get some tats, drink heavily, get arrested a few times, and father a couple kids that you don’t support. That seems to be like catnip.

    So I just bought a crate of Liquid Death

    I actually know someone with an L-39. Last time I heard him mention OPEX it was a couple grand per hour, I think. Apparently parts are readily available and they don’t break often. His jet is the only plane I’ve ever seen with a working Blue Mountain EFIS.

    Which Engine Oil Analysis?

    Blackstone for our Rotax 912ULS. It was fun to read the comments when we sent a sample in with 100 hours on it (which is our normal interval).

    THC and Delta 9 drinks

    Well, he did say the deli sells no alcohol. If that’s the case and it’s in with the other bottled/canned drinks, one would normally not expect to find THC in it. Before today I’d never heard of a THC infused drink in my life (if you don’t include bong water, I guess). So I wouldn’t have thought...

    The "Hand of God" - or how to become a generic NTSB report

    Was having a discussion with one of our sons one day a few years ago. Things were going exceedingly poorly for him in pretty much every possible way. Along the way he informed us that he's now an atheist. I just asked, if there is no higher power, then who exactly does he think is smiting him...

    Electric Lawn Tools

    Odd. In seven years with my gas mower I’ve never had to touch the spark plug or carb. It starts on the first pull, every single time, even after sitting all winter (and no, I don’t do anything special to winterize or refuel or). I dump and fill the oil annually… and I haven’t found it terribly...

    Electric Lawn Tools

    I’ve looked at a number of electric platforms. I’ve got a 7 year old Honda 4-stroke mower that I think has burned less gas in total since I bought it than it would cost to replace a battery for an electric one. I use the same gas in the edger and trimmer and leaf blower, just with a little...

    Tesla Pickup Unveil

    All other things aside, if I were designing the Cybertruck I wouldn’t have gone with the yoke style wheel. If it’s all drive by wire, why bother? A side joystick for acceleration, coasting, braking, and turning would make perfect sense. No wheel, no pedals. Completely intuitive. Easy enough to...
