It’s a Gilson pipette though. That’s the Rolls Royce of pipettes!

Uhh, what? Do you put ketchup or mayo on your tacos?
Back in 2018 there was a crash in Canada involving a failed TT strap, so Transport Canada issued an AD about that particular manufacturer’s TT straps. The FAA put out a similar AD in September 2024. A failed TT strap will cause a rotor separation. I imagine that’ll be one of the first things they look at.
Well, I don’t make any statement regarding which side is doing, and which side is receiving, the pegging.
I can never quite grasp how he’s using his right hand in this photo. Why is he holding his sunglasses with the inside of his thumb and his ring finger? It seems so unnatural, like the way someone with impaired motor control would use their hand.
Ya. You see it a lot at maintenance bases for larger aircraft. A hangar large enough for the tail is often not feasible or practical, so they have a perfect tail shaped hole in the doors. You’ll see it a lot for 747/A380/C5 maintenance hangars.
Correct, he is definitely fucking lizards as well.
We just swap who flies each leg, I’ll do one, the other pilot will do the next, and so on. Seniority really doesn’t play into it at all. Usually we don’t leave the flight deck to deal with emergencies, we rely on the cabin crew for that.
I’m not sure I’d jump straight to “dumbass”. Orlando is a giant concrete jungle where basically everything looks the same. I can definitely see how a mistake could be made, however there is inevitably going to be some other factors that led to it. Maybe fatigue, maybe distractions, maybe shitty pilots, but we don’t really know yet.
If you use it wrong enough then “break” becomes the proper spelling.
A lot of it is likely on consignment, especially distributors and liquor stores, so the distiller doesn’t get paid for it until it’s sold. So it can either sit in a warehouse or the distiller can take it back, it’s their choice. In cases where it isn’t on consignment, warehousing it rather than selling what you’re already paid for at least ensures that the distiller is impacted by the entire duration of the tariff, as people can’t still buy their product for a while while it lasts and then the seller just immediately resupplies when the tariff is over. Storing it means when the tariff is over there’s still a supply to sell before they purchase more from the distiller. This would be the situation for bars and such, but it’s a big liability sitting on their books, so I imagine most will probably sell their remaining stock, which I can understand.

The idea was to build giant floating barges in the mid North Atlantic for sub hunting escort aircraft to refuel halfway across. The escort aircraft at the time couldn’t stay with the convoys the whole way, leaving a stretch in the mid Atlantic where they were vulnerable. An ice runway would allow aircraft to cover the convoy for the entire passage, and in the North Atlantic would last months (if not longer) before melting.
