From the track, they had a hell of a tail wind. The article said they took off 12 minutes late and landed 30 minutes early. That's one technique to cut fuel costs.
Speaking of fuel savings, on our way back from alaska one of our bags was 7 lbs over the max weight they allowed. Thus we had to pay a $50 fee for it being overweight. I asked the person why and she said something about how all the extra weight from bags makes the airline spend more in fuel and blah blah blah.... Uhm, what about all the obese people? If you're a 6 ft male and weigh over 300 lbs, why can't they charge you more for not putting down the fucking mcdonalds? That Denny's Grand Slam binge is gonna do a lot more to hurt the plane's fuel efficiency that the souvenirs we brought home for our kids.
My dad's Cessna 172 had a STOL kit on it. We flew down to a dry lake bed outside a casino for breakfast one morning. When we were leaving we were running up to speed on the old lake bed and dad said "You know what I like about my plane?" Before I could reply he yanked back on the yoke and said "It takes off fast!" That fucking thing jumped into the air and I damn near had a heart attack. Damn, do I miss the old man. We didn't see eye to eye very often, but we had fun together every now and then.
If you're thinking cigar humidifiers, I'd avoid those cutter things that take the end off. Unless you're Jewish and want the end cut off your penis. Or the end is really burnt and you just want to neaten things up.
Flooding's the main problem here now. The main road leading out of my neighborhood is flooded so I'm stuck here for a while. The caldisac I live on is fine so far. I've heard reports from neighbors that there were several mini-tornados not too far away last night, but I haven't seen anything.
Wasn’t a sexual thing. We have one going in our bed room on the floor. And I was putting my dick in the steam to pretend steam was coming out of it as a joke. Apparently it wasn’t a cool mist humidifier and my wiener got singed.
Soooo much to unpack from that post... you're moderately gender fluid... you're thirsty for dicks you posted this at 3:54am
Seems like Hong Kong got nailed with a bit of a monsoon... It's kind of worth going through the recent posts in /r/hongkong https://www.reddit.com/r/HongKong/ Some crazy shit.
Having been on an Allegiant flight, I'd wager that the hurricane was like the third worst part of that flight experience.
And it’s not like budget airlines aren’t doable. WOW Airlines is cheap as hell and it’s still good for the price.
My son works for Amazon in HK and normally walks to work. Being a workaholic, that could easily be him. I'm waiting to hear back that all is well.
Damn... hopefully he's OK. I didn't hear about any deaths or anything, just crazy winds blowing office windows out (and blowing all sorts of paperwork into the streets), construction cranes spinning around in the wind, their stadium filling up with water, a building that was under construction fell down, etc.
Wheeler Walker Jr's new album, WWIII, drops Nov 30th. Here's that album's first single, "Save Some Titty Milk for Me": Y'all are welcome.
