  1. My opinion is the guy in the pics is not 6'2".
  2. wikipedia.org: 2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak If nothing else, it seems deaths so far have been in people with an underlying health condition. Small comfort.
  3. Pics or it didn't happen... There seems to be a lot of people who believe cold stress on the body triggers some kind of beneficial reaction.
  4. I think you are correct. If you type Quads into the search box before you click "Find", the list will get shorter.
  5. I'm not sure I ever knew it. Didn't he tell you he was from NYC?
  6. Maybe we could just have a perpetual sport thread...
  7. Sometimes it can be due to restrictive contracts that it's not worth renegotiating. Other times, the rights holders can't be identified or located. You can buy 2 out of 3, but as a collector told me, you will never pay more than for something obscure that no one cares about.

  8. Do you often dish out orders you don't follow yourself? It is an open from, so you shouldn't be surprised when people, idk, react...
  9. Starting with the lowest number and counting up by 1 usually does the trick. It's so easy a robodialer can do it.
  10. I am surprised at the skeptical reactions, as if this was some newbie posting here in the forum, and not the trusted review site.
  11. Maybe this will help get a handout... Boeing posts negative commercial airplane orders in 2019 for first time in decades For the first time in decades, Boeing’s commercial airplane business lost orders over the course of an entire year, a stark example of just how much the 737 Max crisis has hurt the company. For all of 2019, Boeing lost orders for 87 commercial airplanes, meaning it had more cancellations than new purchases, the company said Tuesday. The final tally included the cancellation of three orders in December when customers changed plans to buy 787 Dreamliners. A Boeing spokesman said he wasn’t sure when the company last lost commercial plane orders for the year, but “it definitely has not happened in the last 30 years.” The negative number is especially painful when compared with European rival Airbus, which logged orders for 768 new planes for 2019. Even with 2019 being a slightly down year for Airbus, its order backlog remains a robust 7,482 commercial airplanes — an amount equal to almost 10 years worth of production. Boeing ended 2019 with a commercial airplane backlog of 5,406 planes. In December, Boeing failed to log any 737 Max orders as airlines and aircraft leasing companies continued to steer clear of the grounded airplane. For the year, the 737 Max order book fell by 182 planes in 2019, with a hefty percentage of those cancellations due to the bankruptcy of Jet Airways, a low-cost carrier out of India that went out of business. By comparison, Airbus racked up orders for 654 A320 aircraft, its popular single-aisle competitor to the Max. Boeing’s 737 Max has been grounded since mid-March of last year. Getting the plane back in service is a primary focus of new Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun. In an email sent to all Boeing employees on Monday, Calhoun said returning the Max to service is a top priority. “We’ll get it done, and we’ll get it done right,” he wrote in his email. When Boeing will see a rebound in orders depends largely on when the Max is recertified by the Federal Aviation Administration. Calhoun has not said when he expects that to happen, though many airlines believe there is a reasonable chance the latest version of the 737 is back in service this spring. Southwest Airlines has the Max returning to its schedule in early April while United and American Airlines plan to resume flying the plane in early June. However, all three airlines have shifted their schedules several times since parking their 737 Max planes and readily admit their current plans could change again. Due to the Max grounding, Boeing delivered 380 commercial airplanes in 2019, the lowest level since 2007. The number is less than half the 768 planes Airbus delivered last year, a record for the European jet-maker.
  12. As mention in the MAL thread... [MEDIA=instagram]B7RgMG5phyn[/MEDIA]

  14. I was surprised the last Friday of 2019, on Nightly Business Report, they said that was the last episode ever! It's hard to believe but I had watched the show since its debut on the local PBS station in South Florida, 40 years and ≈12,000 episodes ago, most of which I've seen. I used to watch Wall $treet Week with Louis Rukeyser but that is long ended. I guess I'll have to switch, maybe to Marketplace.

  16. I highly recommend the Berluti knot. It's not particularly bulky and can still be untied by just pulling the ends.
  17. What happened here has nothing to do with a BFE.
  18. It's a real tragedy, for me.
