This thread has been great for me. I grew up in scouting and am glad I did. But I had no clue that it was so closely associated with churches! In our area dens and troops were exclusively attached to schools. Major TIL moment for me on that one! Travel sports probably have some effect, but...

Looking at older threads, I guess he was a founder! And last messaged here coincident with the sale to Boeing.

CodeMonkey works (or worked? it's been five years since they logged on to poa) for foreflight.

Two people have said this now, and I'm still very surprised. What difference should it make that my declared value is? There are lots of scenarios in which my insurance might be very different from the value of the plane. 1) I have no insurance because I'm a big grump who thinks insurance is a...

Another approach is to not cook in the frost!

Who did that?

Yep, close enough. Because, yeah, the rigidity of the formulas varied over time. The filter of time matters. The filter of how music gets distributed today definitely matters. Lots of variables.

You can tell a lot about a person by finding out if they think that world is going to be a paradise in which people can pursue their interests unfettered by having to work for a living, or whether they think it's going to be a dystopian wasteland where only the elite can afford food.

Three of the most famous notes in music... (Starts at 3:45, which doesn't seem to be working after POA link mangling)

The only pushback to give on that is the word modern. Going back hundreds of years you can tell what era a lot of the music is from because it sounds like the other music of that era. There have always been formulas, whether it's baroque, rockabilly, hair metal, kpop or the entire generation of...

Yeah, there is no "good" system. Only the least bad one. No spouse should have to raise a child without the owed support payments and levers to get them seem appropriate. But it's also hard to see how that spouse/taxpayers/society/america benefits by putting people in jail that don't have the...

It's probably like driving suspending in Ohio. I was listening to a podcast (Serial) last night about the Ohio justice system and they said that suspending drivers licenses for things unrelated to driving (e.g. child support) was a common practice because it's really hard to survive in Ohio...

The latest on Gryder. The comments section is astonishing. I don't know how anyone can still respect him.

Sure you can. He's making an argument on how to improve things in the US. Naturally that argument wouldn't be to take the bad things from other places and implement them here. It would be to take the good things from other places and implement them here.

For multiple builders I've met, it's because they don't like, in one case hates, their day job and are trying to get away from it and do something they enjoy. Not everyone is living a life only in pursuit of maximizing revenue.

Nuance got drunk, called an uber and went home a long time ago.

Given the number of people here that claim to clean their belly with avgas, I'm gonna go with "no".

I would guess that this is extremely unlikely. When I googled the other day I could only find three on set gun deaths. One in which the actor killed himself, one where the barrel had failed to have been cleared and now Rust. During the same period there were 40 other on set deaths.

Judge in Hannah's sentencing: "You were the armorer. The one that stood between a safe weapon and a weapon that could kill someone. You alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon. But for you Ms. Hutchins would be alive." I wonder if Alec's team can present that statement at his trial?

Sorry, I don't get this then, "Man... twenty years? That's a long time. I'd be okay with a five year term..."
