@aviationbrk Just came here for the "Airplane!" comments. That is all.

@MarwaEldiwiny 25 years as a motion picture projectionist. I know it well :)

@MrPitbull07 AI garbage. Plastic rain gauges aren't "connected" to anything. And that's an alarm clock.

@MichaelKudrna The best fried chicken I ever had was at a nothing little gas station in Virginia. Wawa, Sheetz, etc, have excellent fresh and tasty options too. And then there's brisket at Buc-ee's!

@aerogeltech @USPS Maybe it's the nature of the materials you're shipping? I ship books internationally using both 1st Class and Priority Main International. It takes a while but none have gotten lost in 20+ years. If in doubt, USPS Priority Express ($$$) will work. UPS charges brokerage fees, too.

@Mike_Zakrzewski @farmer_average The Dewalt 60v is currently the best in the market, although the Stihl electric is very close. Search for the Project Farm electric chainsaw videos. His tests are amazing.

@farmer_average @GrainStats Now try the stubby Milwaukee impact. Even my 3/8ths stubby can work miracles.

@HistoryWJacob But did he score four touchdowns in a single championship game?

@t7_linda We had a 15 YO Carrier AC system that regularly needed 4-figure repairs. We replaced it with a 3.5 ton Trane heat pump system and it's better than we could have imagined. Relatively cheap heat in the winter, ice-cold A/C when it's 100° and humid out. Couldn't be happier.

@TheNotARubicon @brockpierson Were you rocking a red onion on your belt too?

@japan_nobunaga My default is home-smoked brisket from my smoker. It usually vanishes in under 2 minutes.

@TheNotARubicon @TheMekon_Venus Parts of Canada sell it in packs of three or four litre sized bags. Believe it or not, it makes sense and a lot less packaging waste. Occasionally the Canuckistanis have a good idea.

@TheNotARubicon Append the words "Imagine if..." to the beginning and it does get the point across for those who don't pewpew.

@growing_daniel Lessee. Red, black, yellow. That's a 20,000 ohm nope rope.

@TheNotARubicon Say hi to Charlotte for me. Looks like she's a good web designer, too. And you always need to take the Jeep out. At least I do :D

[Peter Dougherty @w2irt]

This is why I use a $25 Baofeng HT on the trails and not a $400 Icom or Yaesu. Mud 1, Boofwang 0. I will upgrade to an IP-67 version today. @TheNotARubicon

@TheNotARubicon @RamboVanHalen Nods from New Jersey. I want to live in America sooo badly, but my dear wife loves it here. Plus I have my own nice manly Jeep and a 70' ham radio tower, so I can't complain too much. Who am I kidding. I complain every day.

@nottsen @simongerman600 @MisterABK There is Det. Columbo, and the late André Braugher's Frank Pembleton. All others, everywhere, pale in comparison. I'd say I want Pembleton to investigate my murder, but that would mean I'd have to go to Bawlmer to die--which would be an improvement.

@EwMc1969 @simongerman600 @MisterABK "Shetland" for the win. Best cop show there is.

@unrealronan @simongerman600 @MichaelShurkin @MisterABK The fact she's Irish just means "drunk" is a given. Nobody notices because that's the default state there. Yes, I'm Irish (by descent). :::hic:::
