In Ireland this is $20.74 worth of petrol.

2.943 US gallons is 11.14 litres. At €1.75 per litre, that’s €19.50.

Petrol hasn’t been under a euro in decades…

Ah lads it’s obviously for the high explosive rounds

Does this guy shout “IT’S WESSEL-BERG!!” every time someone calls him weasel-berg?

Ok, I haven’t thought about The Dead Milkmen in 25 years it so, but this immediately reminded me of Sarah Jane

I’m sorry but this OSS wrong on so many levels.

This aircraft is 9 years old. It is a B737-800. Boeing’s responsibility ended when it was delivered. Southwest are responsible for all maintenance and inspection since then.

There is only one manufacturer of engines for the 737NG type, CFM. The engine itself may go back to them for maintenance as they do run overhaul shops. But they are extremely reliable engines. And this engine didn’t fail, the panels came off.

This is not an engine failure. This is more likely some poor young fella forgot to clip the cowlings shut after preflight checks.

And the French Fries

Popeye. So much so, that my phone autocorrected it to Popeyes, and that doesn’t exist in my country.

So you wanna be a boxer…

It does make me feel a certain satisfaction that he passed on The Matrix to make this

Only passing through, but I thought most NCD memes were done tongue-in-asscrack

Idris Elbow is aware of the effect he has on autocorrect.

One thing I’ve been mulling over is “tax stock dividends at source.” So if a company is paying out dividends to stockholders, there’s no hiding it, the tax to the IRS is paid up front.

As someone who works in aircraft maintenance, I am actually shocked by this. Forget the video footage, that’s just a cheap-assed commercial camera somewhere in the rafters. But the paperwork?

As a repair station, we have to document every single step of every single task. If a mechanic does it, he signs that he has done it and an inspector checks and countersigns that he has done it correctly. For a single aircraft input, this is upwards of 50,000 signed task steps. We have to hand all that data to the customer when it is complete, and also keep it for a minimum of 7 years for most stuff, some things in perpetuity.

If Boeing couldn’t provide the exact names and dates involved within a 5 minute search, then someone has already found it and destroyed it.

Absolutely, I have no problem with the intent of the proposal, just the wording was lazy and too open to abuse.

The care one however was awful. That would need a total rework before I’d consider a yes.

For me, the lack of a definition of a durable relationship was the killer. How do you know if you’re in one? What if one person thinks they are and the other doesn’t? Do you have to break up every six months or so to avoid creating one?

And definitely the care referendum was just stupid. The state will “strive” to provide care? My dude I’m striving to levitate right now, but mysteriously fuck all seems to be happening in real life.

I shall name them George and Kuato.

PAUNG! PAUNG! PAUNG!

I think you meant, ear ear, wots all this about then.

This was in Ireland, and she was in the local newspaper after winning a tree-tossing competition…
