because reasons

I think it's ungodly expensive to retrofit to planes, and crashes are rare relative to small plane hours flown. While I like the idea, this plane crash probably wouldn't have turned out differently, as it sounds like it was about ~900 feet off the ground when it stalled and crashed.

Sometimes your ticket is just punched and you are totally fucked, particularly if your engine seizes in a single engine plane.

It also fucks up cars and the soil. Sugar beet juice also works as a deicer and isn't corrosive. I prefer sand, just since it works in all temps and it's inert.

I recently played HL1 and Black Mesa back to back. It was really fun :)

I was surprised that it wasn't the fifth circuit, then my shock faded: the sixth administers Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee, as well as Michigan.

A second vote for Black Mesa. I played HL1 and Black Mesa back to back, and BM was way more enjoyable!

If it makes you feel better, my husband and I met in an online game (while we lived across international borders,) fell in love, and began dating. The game also has VR, and we explored massive chunks of the Milky Way Galaxy over many months during the pandemic :)

We're married now!

If you have four roommates and use AC, that's really not too bad. Montana with AC (solo occupancy) was $60 for 806 sqft in summer.

You should try Baker, it's way better. Get there 30 minutes before the chairlifts start for good parking. Don't tell anyone else, lol.

The government just approved a bunch of research money for HSR on the cascadia corridor. I'd expect a 4-15 year delay due to the lack of brain cells during the dictatorship years.

As a follow on to this, I think it's still important to get your flu (and other) shots regardless of H5 status. We wiped out that B strain, and while we probably won't do it again, it's always good to protect yourself from serious illness and put the whammy on the flu.

Santa seems to get on a lot of commercial planes in and around Russia, lol.

God, I love Costco
