I've got a feeling they're going to find a whole lot more maintenance issues because of this.

Stranger still. The nation's newest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, was commissioned on June 23. Not a single urinal on the ship. As an ex carrier guy, I couldn't believe it.

I saw Dunkirk yesterday as well. It is visually amazing, and the true story is amazing. I just didn't get into the parallel stories that much, except the boat guy. I thought that was good. The airplane stuff was as it usually is though. Lots of neat shots, but tactically silly with odd strategies and ridiculously long engagements. I get that they want the video to b e cool, but it gets totally unrealistic.

I've had a Primo XL for years and I have been very pleased with it. I believe its the only one made in the US. I didn't like the look or shape of the Green Egg. There is a learning curve, and I would absolutely recommend a controller for it. I use a DigiQ controller which has pit temp and meat temp probes. The controller nails the temp, which is quite hard to do manually. As an example, when I slow cook beef or pork, I use a temp of 220 degrees. The included temp probe at the top indicates about 280. You can also avoid a lot of mistakes by reading forums. I use the Primo forum for tips etc. http://primogrillforum.com/forums/content.php You also need a table. Easy to make your own though. Just get a used wood table of proper size, draw an oval of proper size and cut it out. Grill fits in, and support it on the bottom with cinder block/bricks whatever. Anyway, its nice to set it up for slow cooks and let it go for 8-10 hours, (lump charcoal only-no briquettes), without having to open the lid.

Desirable for a mate and a place to raise kids. Questionable weather wise.

I do it a couple of ways, but I always use the pho broth bullion from a local Asian food store. Sometimes I put the bullion in beef broth, and sometimes I don't. The key is the bullion. There are two options at the store I buy it at. One is a cubed bullion, and the other is a less concentrated paste. Over the years, I've found that I like to use both in the same batch. I cut ginger into small pieces and broil it, along with onion, until it is dark and crisp. I add those to the broth that has the pho bullion/paste and that's the start. Forgot to mention-I also add cinnamon.

Pho is quite easy to make at home. Not for summer, but its a once every two week thing in the fall/winter for us. Really easy.

I didn't want to comment on this until it played out, but you can make great pho yourself. You can buy the seasoning, and it's really cheap, and then add to it to taste. It's a staple in our world in the fall/spring.

You can get the tickets online for an additional fee, but its really not necessary unless its a Monday morning or Saturday during peak season.

For planning purposes, my son was at the Vatican Museum this morning. They got there 15 mins before opening and it took 1hr+15 mins to get to the ticket booth. Clearly a high season Monday.

My son is there on his honeymoon now. Cinque Terre for three days, then Rome and leaves today for the Chianti region of Tuscany. I spent a lot of time in Rome, work related, and came up with my own "visitor's guide" for folks who wanted to efficiently tour the city without wasting a lot of time walking back and forth. Worked great for my daughter when she only had two and a half days during her semester abroad in Barcelona, with views on what is neat to see and what is overrated, obviously, a personal view, and tips for making some sites more enjoyable, like the Sistene Chapel. My wife and I have visited other parts of Italy. We did a three location cooking class thing two years ago. Anyway, great place to visit.

One of the things that is omitted is that it really wasn't United, same as the dragged Doctor story. It was "Trans States," another of these little commuter operations that United contracts with. They have a serious problem with their brand because of these folks.

And they spend it to cool it.

It isn't all that complicated. Regardless of the source, whether its bleed air from an engine after start or prior to start, bleed air from the aux power unit or external air source , its all basically the same, including the 787 which electrically powers similar compressors. Clearly, its a more simple problem in the air, but modern airliners should be able to handle any but the most extreme conditions on the ground. This story, like almost all of these is grossly lacking in detail, and entirely one sided, as if it was hand written by a plaintiff's attorney. Either way, airliners can handle above normal heat, though Boeings do it better than Euro-stuff.

I'm not going to argue with you my friend, but after a 32 year career flying these things, and serving as a check captain certifying others all over the world, I think I have a pretty good grasp of how these things work. They have an environmental control system to regulate the cabin air temperature regardless of input. Clearly, it requires cooling in the summer at sea level and high ambient temps, and heating at the -50C or so you deal with at cruise. And by the way, all air provided to the cabin, no matter what altitude, is from pressurized bleed air from an engine whether in the air on on the ground.

They have AC. That is the noise you hear when you're in your seat.

What, exactly, did they "almost get away with?"

Not yet. Still a lot of work to be done, but they have spent a lot of time and energy in that endeavor. I've got a commercial drone license, so I'm ready if they start in my area.

Unfortunately, that the Bills have a huge home field advantage. They don't, at least recently. Nor is it accurate to look at the weather in Orchard Park and claim that it is remarkably different than other places the Bills play in Nov/Dec other than Miami.

Not likely a play against Jana. Amazon considered a bid for WHole Foods in 2009. The 9% stake Jana Parnters took in Whole Foods in the spring just netted them about $260 million with the 27% premium Amazon has offered for the shares.

But never environmentally sound. Check out Elon Musk's transportation habits vs his environmental sermons.

Classic investigative observation: "But anytime you have both engines on a twin engine airplane stop working, it obviously has the potential for disaster," he said."

I did too. Knew what I wanted to do since I was five. Did it.
