Odd Stuff (Part 1)

As for recovering the Jeep, it obviously won’t be an easy task.

Hike there. Give it a final push. Collect it at the bottom of a hill with a tow truck. Easy.

that’s actually a beautiful bike, IMHO. prolly needs constant tinkering and impossible-to-get parts (or a good mate with a machine shop), but I would love to give 'er a go!
I suppose I should point out, I am also a huge fan of Ural side car bikes!

Yeah, I thought so too! Even the other stock ones are cool and kinda scifi dystopia lookin. And it’s Kalashnikov, so, it probably won’t even jam in the mud!

That is literally a nightmare I often have. It’s feeling the bottom drop out of my stomach* and bracing for impact that wakes me.

If this story can be verified, it’d make a great anti-Walmart piece?

Woman A nabbed custom-knit purple yarn “Baby Yoda” doll out of the hands of a child at Walmart while guardian not looking. Child cries, guardian chases down woman A, who reached register and demands a discount for the untagged item. Guardian and woman fights for the doll. Manager calls security, scolds guardian for making a scene. During the confusion Woman A escaped with the doll.

Ethernet failure on Swiss business jet prompted emergency descent, say aviation safety bods

An Ethernet failure aboard popular Swiss-made business jets could prompt the aircraft to move into an emergency descent as flight systems entered a “degraded” mode, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has warned.

In a recently issued airworthiness directive, EASA has ordered operators of the Pilatus PC-24 to install new software aboard PC-24 business jets after “a dual Ethernet communication channel failure on a dual-channel data concentration and processing unit”.

Why? Marvin Gaye is fucking awesome and deserves the accolades he gets. What’s Going On? is easily one of the best albums in history.
