Originally the pilot declared a low fuel emergency and landed at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport. Reports were that the pilot refused to leave the plane until a British security team arrived to secure the plane. But since then it's turned into somewhat of a tourist attraction...

The limitation of the nearby fire to two plots was rather remarkable too. I guess it shows how fire breaks work where they reduce the chance of crossing a break, unless maybe there are extremely high winds. I suppose some of the nearby plots weren't tinder dry and thus resisted catching on fire.

The plot thickens.....

There were several businesses using that address. Again - it's not zoned for it. This report says that one of the owners of one of the businesses using that building lost his home there. As far as I know, it wasn't zoned for residential either unless a farmhouse.

Kind of an interesting set of circumstances. The reporting includes that the county zoned the land for agricultural use only, and that they had no specific business license in the county either. But it's a commercial fireworks exhibitor (doing business as "Devastating Pyrotechnics") with a...

Isn't the point also training for things that might not be safe to try in the real world? In addition to programming for all manner of different scenarios.

Wasn't sure if this was really needed, but it sounds interesting. https://www.pringles.com/en-us/products/pringles-crisps-beer-can-chicken.html https://www.pringles.com/en-us/products/pringles-crisps-beer-braised-steak.html...

My mom (who gets this for my dad’s heartburn) said that she hasn’t been able to find it at Costco recently, except maybe as brand name Prilosec. I looked up the prices at Target and Walmart and found five different WM house branded version with 42 count and 20 mg per dose. It was caplets...

Just a thought, but given the technology is out there, is it time for cockpit video recording? And yeah I get that many pilot organizations have said they don’t want them.

There aren’t a lot of details, but it looks like GE sells a lot of their combination units where they recommend two be installed for redundancy. I did look up what “MEL” means - minimum equipment list. Their sell sheet implies that an aircraft can still fly if one is inoperable/malfunctioning.

I was going by some of the articles I read. But there's a lot to sort out. https://www.barrons.com/articles/boeing-stock-black-boxes-air-india-crash-56be6020 GE also supplied the black boxes—the flight-data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder—on the 787, reports said. Boeing and GE didn’t...

GE is the maker of the flight data/voice recorders? I thought I heard it was Honeywell before, although that might have been for some other incident.

Saw a Mexican plate (don’t recall the state) Peugeot once.

As far as I know, the only government enforced parking rules on private property are for disabled spaces. And I know people who got tickets for that. Anything else and the only legal methods are to tow and charge the towing fees to the vehicle owner, or perhaps to boot a vehicle and compel...

No. California has a requirement for new construction built into model building codes. https://up.codes/s/designated-parking-for-clean-air-vehicles There's no enforcement mechanism per se, and it's supposed to be CAV/vanpool/carpool depending on the location. I don't think the...

Decided to have a look at a different Goodwill location. Seemed kind of random what they had. For Aloha-type shirts, most seemed kind of random. Any number of weird brand names trying to look the part. I was hoping for one of the big names like Kahala, Reyn Spooner, Go Barefoot, Paradise...

Aldi is in California. The footprint currently goes as far north the Fresno area. https://stores.aldi.us/ca/clovis/1725-herndon-ave

More precise on top of faster flow. I think heavy winds can be an issue with the drogue.

Is that the closest to BC? I seem to recall a guy who resold stuff from TJ's in BC. Hired other people to do it, wore disguises, etc. since they were on to him that he was reselling. I did understand that he paid all duties though, although I thought US/Mexican made products were duty free...

I can see it now. We’re out of that right now, but have you looked across the street?
