Meh. Outside of middle eastern airlines (and Singapore) that convert half the plane into apartments and a bar for The Gram, it seems like a massive waste of money these days to operate a 4 engine plane unless you're Qantas and need to ferry large numbers of people to the other side of the planet. The B777 carries an rear end ton of people without being a double decker, and the A350 can fly half way around the world without refueling.

I tried some more ecofriendly plant-based cat litter, but the problem is that plant matter soaks up piss and is also prone to clinging to cat fur/paws so you just get pissy plant detritus everywhere. That experiment lasted maybe 2 days.

I've got a rear wheel drive car with good snow tires and it does better in the snow then most of the idiots that get four wheel drive and then think they can drive around on all-seasons like they're immune to weather.

Similarly the difference between all seasons and good summer tires is just nuts. The lateral Gs you can pull absolutely blow away even “fancy” all seasons.

Flew on one of those once. It was a pretty cool plane. Too bad.

*checks notes* wait no I'm wrong, he thought he was searching Twitter, but instead tweeted

Can people please just not make fun of trump and his inability to get his way until he signs this bill? After he signs it, go hog wild, but I’d rather get paid for a few more months than have him prompt another shutdown due to everyone making fun of him.

Exactly this. If everyone starts talking about how this is a huge loss for Trump BEFORE he signs it, he won't sign it.

On the other hand, he might not be aware that not signing a bill isn't the same as a veto. So maybe we should say "you know what will send a huge message? Instead of vetoing, just don't sign it!"

1. Insiders at Amazon learn of final internal selections for HQ sites before the general public
2. Insiders become shitbag insider-dealing speculators and gobble up reasonably priced leases and properties in the chosen cities
3. Insiders speculate that Amazon will set up shop in the neighborhood they speculated in, and thus can charge a premium for rent as slumlords.
4. ...except Amazon isn't going to NYC, so those speculators now have worthless investments.

In essence: no pity, enjoy your short trip to the pavement from the roof.
