If it weren't borderline illegal I would only hire childfree couples. They never need to take time off and they need to keep up payments on the ski condo and the beach house.

If it weren’t borderline illegal I would only hire working parents. They’re simply built different. They’re more dedicated, efficient, and overall just better people.



It'll be interesting to see the level of enforcement on this. I, for one, would like it if we could keep I70 unblocked in even moderately bad weather.

I have a serious appetite but this is really, really hard. McDonald's burgers are pretty calorific but not very filling but still, a Big Mac every 55 minutes for 24 hours. Might try and combine the challenge with a Backyard Ultra. For $5m I could train pretty hard.

If you had 24 hours to eat 15,000 calories of any one food for $5,000,000 what food would you choose?



Woooow

NEW IMAGES of the left engine of UPS 2976 separating and going *up and over* the wing. The just-released NTSB preliminary report says the left engine pylon hardware showed signs of fatigue cracks and over-stress failure. More to come.

In case you're wondering what it looks like when the steel cables on your hangar's bi-fold doors snap while you're moving your brand new King Air out of it.

I want to put an aviation version of this sign in the run-up area at my GA airport


"Fed Kugler Faced Slash" was right there, you guys

New disclosures show that Kugler made several stock transactions that violated Fed policies and prompted an ethics probe. on.wsj.com/47Yw9jE



Missed opportunity to wait till the smoke cleared on landing then drop a small Amazon box with perfect comedic timing.


So my GameCube cable is worth significantly more than I paid for my GameCube

💰 Just found out my tangled drawer of old cables is basically a retirement fund. DisplayPort? $150. Nintendo GameCube cables? $200. Apple 30-pin connector? Emotional damage… $5. Turns out hoarding tech junk was actually a sound investment strategy. #TechLife #RetroGadgets

Automotive history is riddled with lackluster gearboxes, but it's also seen its fair share of exlemplary models. Here are the most durable transmissions. jalopnik.com/2006552/most-r…



Talk to your accountant to see whether bonus depreciation on a year-end turbine aircraft acquisition makes sense for you. Maybe a Meridian so you can go VFR when the whole thing shuts down. 🤔

DEVELOPING: The Trump admin's plan to *cut flights* by 10% if no shutdown deal is reached will have major impacts on travel. I’m told airlines were briefed less than an hour before Sec. Duffy’s presser. The industry’s top lobby says it’s "working to understand the details."

IIRC it's like "remove back of car and pull 16 drain plugs". Dry sump engines are fun.

Marvin was a solopreneur: in stealth mode for 18 months, shipped one product, simple exit strategy
