... from 1930!

Lost 1-0 to Spain but the first England team to get to the world Cup final since 1966 and it took the girls to do it.

Well, this is a surprise tp me, but honestly I'm kind of at a loss at what they could come up with that would make it worth buying yet another installment in this rather lackluster (to me) series. Are any of you out there excited? Asobo style developer thingy for the very patient:

The picture below shows company campus #1 (colorful buildings in the far distance in the middle of the picture) taken from campus #2 (that's what tech companies call their company worksite nowadays). Big is getting lost USING Google Maps and circling two or three times just looking for an exit from the PARKING LOT.

Hi All, I'm considering replacing my current flight sim / PC desk with something and would like to see what other people put their monitors, joystick, etc. on. Cheers Daz

Meet Thomas Grant, I guess MS Flight Sim was boring... https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/132814849/the-94yearold-pilot-who-has-walked-away-from-multiple-crashes

So far this year one hundred and thirteen e bikes and scooters caught fire in New York City alone. 13 people died. 71 injured, in NYC. Due to traffic congestion these are used in NYC more than elsewhere. Lithium batteries of course. Electric cars use them too. https://www.brooklynpaper.com/lithium-ion-batteries-e-bike-fire-bensonhurst/

These are probably gonna sell like hotcakes. Nostalgia and collectors, and even just dads getting them for thier kids because its a cool gadget from thier own youth..... The Atari 2600 Is Back, Backward Compatible, And It’s Got Wood

I wonder if the scales will tattletale the poundage number out loud? Or make jokes like those humorous talking bathroom scales. Not that any of us need worry... https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/boarding-pass-please-now-stand-on-this-scale-korean-air-will-soon-weigh-passengers/ar-AA1fJ1GT

23 world records. Yikes!

Just took off from CYCG Castlegar in MSFS. Had to double check the metar. No mistake, 40°c on the tarmac, in the mountains. Im guessing most houses don’t have AC?

Well friends, yesterday afternoon sparked a real disaster in my life of retirement. My right rear wheel found a very deep pothole on my way home from shopping and managed to move the entire wheel assembly rearward about three inches, and canted inwards from the top of the wheel about two inches. While my little twenty-five-year-old Toyota Camry is still "sort of drivable," it now has a distinct "waddle" when moving over thirty miles per hour and is most certainly unsafe. While I've been ecstatic to rent a small home deep in the Arkansas woods, living nearly ten miles from the nearest grocery store and fifteen miles from the VA Clinic is going to make life extremely d…

So they say that it's probably true. Seems odd to me the experts are so sure about that. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/21/spotless-giraffe-tennessee-zoo

1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The farm was used to produce produce. 3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4) We must polish the Polish furniture. 5) He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. 7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 😎 At the Army base, a bass was painted on the head of a bass drum. 9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10) I did not object to the object. 11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. …

Just something I thought was cool, that I wanted to share. Its amazing what can be done on a "simple" home computer nowadays; the power available to creators.... Pretty awesome!

A long shot, looked on the various photo sites, but would anyone have a clear photo of a Fokker F 27 panel with readable text ?

Anybody paying attention to the UAP thing might be aware of pilot reports of high altitude lights completing strange manoeuvers. In this video Mick West does a great job of connecting many of these sightings to Starlink flares.

No, it's not an eBike catching fire, it's a Raptor 2 being tested.

My big regret as a Hooman Bean is that there is so much to learn, and not nearly enough time to learn it....

I assume that some of you have watched this movie? I would be grateful if anyone could tell me what the word not allowed was going on, because it was a kaleidoscopic mess from where I was sitting. Just to be clear......this actually won the Best Picture Oscar this year I am not sure if this says more about the mindset of the movie industry these days, or the (apparent) lack of quality on offer.

She was doing the others a service, spotting that fake person, so why was she removed? I suppose there will be more to the story later...

Luckily I still have my flight simming hobby to carry me through these days in the warehouse. But flying every day gets old. I fly about two or three times a week. I spend a lot of time finding new aircraft to install. But I am enjoying creating scenarios. Or rather finding homes for the airplanes in my collection. I'm spending a lot of time spotting airliners at the end of the runway at airports that those liveries fly into and saving the scenario. Then I put a link to it on the monitor and save it. Right now I have about 250 saved startup scenarios covering 4screens. I use Fences to keep everything orderly. I just finished spotting an Ethiopian B737 at…
