When you enter DND mode the only things silenced are the two things you would not want silenced — alarms (so you can wake up) and media (so you can fall asleep, aka, brown noise). Also, you cannot privilege an app now, like PagerDuty, to

Serious question: is 1% milkfat known to be "more healthy" than 2%? The body needs fats, and the USA (most of all) is still recovering from an unhealthy fear of fats instilled by the megacorps the past ~30 years. [me: grew up drin

The need for all four engines being operable isn't changed by the viability of 3-engine flight. Once the plane lands its grounded for revenue service, and even three engine ferry flights are a huge affair to pull off. So, de facto, eac

I haven't read much L.A. based crime, tbh, but it's nice to see noir / pulp draw its fans in. I'm one, 100%. My man for urban street crime is George Pelecanos. I think I've read damn near all his stuff. His prose hi

This one from 2004 involves a modern regional jet (Bombardier RJ) dead-stick crashing on a reposition flight. The crew's decision-making & remedial actions boggle the mind. I'd call it a case study in horrendous pilotage. Than
