Re: Electric Cars II - Not Silly!
Thieves are targeting high-powered Tesla and other EV charging stations and stealing the heavy cable for the copper metal inside. In Vallejo, someone cut cables from nine charging stations -- leaving Tesla drivers in a bind, and causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage and repair costs. https...

Re: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex
Does anyone still mail checks? :-? :-?? I did last week. Some dog events are still lacking alternative payment methods. Sometimes there's a "convenience fee" for paying on-line, which often encourages me to pay by check because I bet it costs them way more to have to handle a physical check, deposi...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI
Hello from California. Nice warm day today, doesn't seem to be as toasty as yesterday. Did some FastCAT with Faraday this weekend, she's slowing down now, so definitely just for fun rather thank rankings now. However, two of her puppies are currently the fastest Leonbergers in the country this year.

Looks like a G4 geomagnetic storm this weekend. Aurora watch for those further from the equator.

Re: RFA crew shortage as well as a Rear Admiral shortage....
My classic was having the Weapons (including nuclear) Employment Course, NBC Instructor, and a Physics degree, and I'd done some work at Harwell, but still having to do the one day school radiation source supervisor course. Utter waste of everyone's time. But that's box-ticking (or not) for you! My...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Good morning all, grey day with a bit of rain this morning. Currently 12C, forecast max 18C. I may have mentioned this before but I'm sure when I was at school it was "rooves" :-\ but that seems out of favour these days. Indeed, rooves is the plural of roof, staves the plural of staff (as in survey...

Re: New Self-Assessment Tool for American Airlines Pilots
The playback was useful for training new sim instructors, because it enabled the instructor trainer to point out the cues that a crew were approaching their capacity limits. This helped the new instructors learn whether more value would be gained by adding further workload or emergencies, or not. D...

Re: Chaos in USA
FTFY. There's a large amount of evidence, all of which needs further investigation to corroborate, and none of which is being allowed to be investigated further. Same as Bush-Gore 2000. The US election procedures have so many holes in them it's unreal. Essentially, incumbents have no motivation to ...
