It’s akin to the best man starting his toast at the reception for a second marriage with “Welcome back, everyone!”

Yeah, the pilot was heard saying there would be a bit of a... Nevermind. Let's leave it at 'yeah'.

I've had that issue a couple of times as well...if it's not a business rental, and it's just me, I rent a sub-compact because I'm planning to put a few hundred miles on it. I'll arrive at the desk to be told they're out of subcompacts, so I''ve been upgraded three levels to the closest thing...

I thought that was talking about politicians, but I guess it could apply to rental car companies. And the cable companies.

If you dive, the Silfra fissure is a must-do. I haven't gotten there myself, but know people who made the trip just for that dive. If you aren't already a drysuit diver, you'll have to add drysuit training to the tour package. The fissure is the gap between the Eurasian and North American...

I cooked my first Tri tip yesterday! It's impossible to find in the northeast, but I'd won a gift certificate from Porter Road Meats in a BBQ contest, and that was one of the things I'd ordered. I dry brined with kosher salt for 2.5 hours, added Montreal Seasoning for the rub, then smoked it...

I've never carried pliers on my belt, except on the rare occasion when I wear a full tool belt for a home project. However, I have had one of these on my keyring for over 50 years. Dad gave it to me when I was a kid, and told me not to lose it. Amazingly, I haven't. It gets a fair amount...

Depending on where you live, they might have meant "Why are you carrying a knife and no sidearm?"

Just find the Barbecue Adventure thread on this board, and use it as your cookbook.

And--though I admit my ignorance of transport-category aircraft systems is vast--I believe some airliners don't have the ability to dump fuel.

That's a beautiful photo, seems kinda staged, but instagram-ready. It's gonna rack up a lot of hits on social media. Trevor, is that you?

So now all that is missing is the airplane, and the winner?

My son is a musician, and a few months ago he forwarded me this story: https://www.pressherald.com/2024/03/18/ai-made-an-album-for-saco-musician-kgfreeze-and-its-scary-good/ A musician local to him and his audio engineer collaborator fed his 7 previous albums into a musical AI called Sumo...

But assless chaps are still ok, right? Asking for a friend.

Years back, after I’d finished grad school and started work in another state, my diploma was mailed to me in a huge rigid mailer. It arrived badly crumpled and torn almost in half. That was one Ph.D. diploma NOT suitable for framing. I was more crushed than the envelope. The school did...

Congrats! I know that takes a good bit of time and effort! But based on my very limited experience judging, you get to eat some great BBQ!

I got to judge my first KCBS competition this weekend at the NJ KnoQ-Out BBQ competition in Blairstown. https://campgroundbbq.com/nj-knoqout NJ is on the outer fringe of BBQ culture in the US, but the Team of the Year points chase brings top competitors all the way out here. We had 50 teams...

For some international pistol events, trigger pulls can go significantly lower...500 grams (1.1 pounds), all the way down to that found in the Free Pistol event, which has no lower limit. It's common to see free pistols adjusted to have their trigger pull well under 1 ounce (these are...
