FAA investigation has concluded. The new launch license now needs to be applied for. There is some nonsense in the media it seems, who are implying that the FAA have grounded Starship and demanding that 63 items are fixed. 🙄 But from what I believe, the items were generated by SpaceX and submitted by SpaceX to the FAA who then agreed that the items should be fixed, and the FAA have overseen progress and all items are complete.

My daughter Bridget has been a runner all her life. She met her goal of running her 25th marathon by her 50th birthday. Lately she's been running ultras, 30 to 50 miles. She's training for her last marathon to be run on the 30th of this month. It will be her 60th to celebrate her 60th birthday in December. She is going to continue running but giving up the competition running. She says her body just can't take it any more. She began running with me when I was running to keep in shape for the national guard and she was in high school. She never stopped. Yeah, I'm a pretty proud dad. Noel

I have no clue how or why someone found the item, read the description, and snapped it up so quickly. I would guess it took 45 seconds after I clicked the icon to list it, before ebay messaged that the money was paid. It was like the Twilight Zone or Candid Camera. I don't see how it was possible. Less than 1 minute!

In my imagination, I see this becoming a flightsim engine one day, but that's just a daydream. I have no idea if there are roadblocks not obvious to non-programmers.

----------------- G factor is lift divided by weight. He suddenly dropped lots of weight. But the Pawnee is made for doing that: dropping agriculture chemicals, a crop duster. But apparently he also suddenly gave up elevator instead of trying to continue level. Because of the trees in the area? Or was it a weak wing joint?

For some guy related reason, I watch videos like this popcorn in hand, because there's apparently some underlying fascination with anything to do with construction/destruction in the male dino-brain. All manner of things get very satisfactorily destroyed in these types of videos, and by now, all viewers know the drill, and what to expect. Well, not this time! Impressed!

After all the years fly with almost exclusively on left hand, I just bought the right hand grip, and it turns out my right hand flys almost as good as left hand anyway! I'm right handed in daily life, and started my sim flight on right hand joystick like most people, but from like 10 years ago, starting with Siatek cyborg 3d, I mostly use left hand as it's for the "Captain seat". After that, one of my most important parameter for buying joystick is if it supports left hand, so I never got some popular things like X45,X52, cougar, warthog etc etc....I went Saitek Force 3D, EVO, then T16000, all ambidextral, so I still occasionally fly F16 or Helicopters on right …

Found blood on the kitchen floor. You guessed it, cat had caught and consumed a mouse. A short time later, the cat was getting very sniffy around our recycling boxes. Pulled them out and there was a little grey mouse. Luckily they freeze when they are scared, so I was able to drop a humane mouse trap I had in the cupboard over the top of him. He seemed uninjured, so this was clearly a second mouse and the first probably inside may cats stomach or crawled away behind the fridge. Luckily we have a cliff walk nearby, so I popped the trap in a bag and took him onto the cliffs. Found a safe place for him and let him go.
