Kewl new paint job for a Southwest Airlines plane Southwest Airlines unveils 'Independence One' plane in honor of America's 250th anniversary
Sporting red, white, and a deep blue, Southwest Airlines has unveiled a plane with a new paint job in honor of America's 250th anniversary. "Independence One" was introduced on Monday at Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport, displaying a massive "1776" across the front cabin windows and "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" toward the back. "It's a symbol of what it means to give America the freedom to fly," said Bob Jordan, the airline's CEO, to a crowd of attendees. "As Southwest celebrates our 55th year, and (as) our nation celebrates 250, we wanted to mark this moment in a way that reflects who we are, where we've been and where we are headed."

----- Speed limit strictly enforced! Wisconsin road adds a decimal point to its speed limit. It’s not a joke
A Wisconsin road has added a decimal point to its speed limit — in the hope that the unusual traffic sign will give drivers’ second thoughts about putting the pedal to the metal. The Outagamie County Recycling and Solid Waste facility in Appleton, 107 miles north of Milwaukee, announced Monday that the speed limit inside the facility would now be 17.3 mph. “You may notice something a little different on your next visit,” the facility wrote in a Facebook post. “Our posted speed limit is now 17.3.” The facility, which provides recycling and landfill disposal services, said it decided on a posted speed limit of 17.3 mph because it makes drivers “pause.” “It makes you look twice. And most importantly, it breaks that ‘autopilot’ feeling we can all fall into when driving familiar routes,” the facility added.I don't know about you, but there is just no way I could keep my speed below 18. ----- What's another way to say a moron is full of shit? How about 29 year old man is constipated
Josh Vintner-Jackson first felt some discomfort in his lower left hip in March 2020. At the time, Vintner-Jackson, who is from the UK, was 29 and worked at a startup in Austin. He balanced his time between work, hanging out with friends, and his active hobbies. He loved running marathons, including one five-day ultramarathon through the desert in Jordan. Over the next four months, he would occasionally feel a pang of discomfort in the area. By the end of May, he had started to become severely constipated, despite eating what he considered a healthy diet. After not pooping for eight days, he went to urgent care in June 2020, where an X-ray revealed a buildup in his colon.Check out the whole thing. And let this serve as a reminder to get your colonoscopy if you are due! ----- This should have been included in Tuesday's ONT, but someone dropped the ball. The Tuesday ONT host must be asshoe. It's the unofficial AOSHQ mascot.

They were working on a new one (paint shop) and the air relief louvers weren't working during the first building commissioning and the negative air (to vent fumes) sucked in a large partition wall that separated the main bay from other spaces. Even a half psi is a huge load over a large area.

If you don't have a mortgage, I guess you can self-insure, if the price of a house is a trivial expense. Kinda like us normal folks don't buy the extended warranties on our toasters.
Probably still good to carry whatever the homeowner's equivalent of "liability" is, to prevent bums from suing you when they trip over a crack in the sidewalk, even if you have Elon Musk money.

South Dakota means it. Signs say something like "speed limits strictly enforced." Though their freeways are posted 80mph.
I saw a guy get pulled over, and when he passed me earlier, he was probably only doing 82. I had my cruise set right at 80, and it took him a while to pass me.
That made me consider braking down hills rather than letting my cruise control go..... it doesn't try to slow the car down until it's 3 or 4 over.

But at home in MN? 4 mph over is totally safe in slower zones, more on the freeways. When I lived in the Minneapolis area, 10 over on I-494 would get you flipped off by someone's granny as she blew your doors off.
Unless you're driving the same make/model/color as the cop's daughter's boyfriend, then all bets are off.

on the sticker on the door jamb and assumed that was the model year. It isn't. It's a 2019. Model year begins in the mid-summer of the prior year. That, combined with the fact 2018 parts will not work on a 2019 truck as 2019 is the first year of the 5th generation Rams. I verified this on the Mopar parts website. A 2018 TPMS sensor will not fit (work) on a 2019 truck.
That also explains why when they tried to verify the sensors were working with their machine, they had to set it to '2018' not 2019.
After driving the truck half-way to San Diego and back they system hasn't reset itself. The owner's manual says it should reset after up to 20 minutes of driving above 15 mph.
Further reports as conditions warrant.

GROK did the web search and summary for you.
Any old web search engine (circa 2000) could do as well. You'd just have to read it yourself.
A real answer would be to repeat the query,
Throw in some assumptions, say aircraft model, dry paint density, coating system thickness and run some calcs.
Maybe calc the surface area of the plane using a 3D model x thickness of coating x density = total weight.
Should get it within a few pounds, not some wild ass range from where the high end 'estimate' is more than twice the low end.
If the owner really cared they could weigh the plane when it was stripped to bright aluminum and again after paint completed.

all sensors communicate with the car. They aren't connected to the car of course, because tires do a spinny spinny thing, so they connect wirelessly. Is it by proximity? No that would never work because there are other car tires just feet from your car's tires. So they obviously have unique codes, that are constantly transmitting, well beyond your car because they would have to already go 10,20,30 feet or more depending on the size of the vehicle and tire configuration.
What does that mean? That means every single modern car has a very convenient means of being passively tracked through waypoints by anywhos that happened to want to do that sort of thing.
Interesting, no?

You could have canned narration of what was being viewed through each cam. Name the mountains and rivers and lakes, give some history, and some descriptive geology.

Nah. The spring winds would send the thatch flying all the way into Texas. We use corrugated metal sheets with truck tires on top to hold them in place.

Sorry to hear that! Hope it doesn't come to all that. I remember in my corporate life dire predictions of doom usually didn't pan out so try to think positive. But update the resume, just in case. It always helped me to calm down knowing I was ready to hit the ground running if disaster really did strike.

I just remembered getting caught in a sandstorm in Mesilla (we were walking back to the van after eating.) It was night because the street lights in the square were on.
It was interesting. I was maybe 9 or 10.

We don't get true sandstorms here in Las Cruces or mesilla. We just get exciting dust storms. Since everything here is stucco, Adobe or brick. They don't have much effect on the houses. On the other hand, that stuff comes right through the cracks in your doors and windows.

Thank you!..? I do actually watch the videos first, to make sure that the songs are as good as I remember (or as good as their radio hits if delving past those), that the A/V quality isn't messed up, that it isn't secretly a censored radio edit, and that there isn't anything weird in the video.
(That last one is pointedly aimed at Hozier's "Take Me To Church." I made the mistake exactly once of linking it (on another site) just based on liking the song, which I thought was a veiled reference to cunnilingus, not knowing that the video is a gay male 'romance'. Guys, we said, don't scare the horses. Ick.)
The revelation of unknown bands also goes both ways, so ICYMI here's a very specific performance that someone here recently linked to and now I'm obsessed with it. I wasn't born yet when these guys went on stage, and they are tight and on point.

Oh, Traffic! I know that band well enough. But your record is unblemished, because that cut was linked in the ONT last night or he night before.
And I'm not ragging on you, or belittling your choice in music. It just amuses me no end that all your choices that I can remember are of bands that I never even knew existed. It's like we are from two different planets.

Yeah, the lyrics aren't gay. It's a guy singing about his lover, and he uses female pronouns for her.
I had never looked at the video before. A few seconds was enough, since it is gayer than the Obamas' double-ended dildo.
I guess it could be a "trans anthem" today? But it was written in '14, a year before even the Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner thing came out.
And the Postmodern Jukebox & Morgan James cover could turn the guys in the original video straight.

April 1945 in Germany was an exception - pretty likely destroying the center of govt. would be the last act. Though even then hold-out actions by German forces in a Bavarian "alpine redoubt" were feared, and the Flensburg govt. continued after Adolf got rid of Adolf.
Of course CENTCOM knows a lot more detail than I do, but my preference would be for renewed festivities to *force* the Strait open and safe for passage through destruction of Iran's anti-shipping capability. Forcibly removing their last "card" would not only hedge against fuzzy political outcomes or prolonged regime death-throes, but demo our totally dominant military capability.
I think it's quite feasible and know it would materially add to our already robust credibility and deterrent power.
