I know it's not much consolation to that family, but Mooneys are famously strong aircraft. They have a steel tube cage around the cabin underneath the aluminum skin and single piece wing spars that go from wingtip to wingtip.

I was always disappointed that we never got to do the rope climb at my school.
I've thought about doing it, since I'm AB, but never set aside the time.
re: What's a better commuter sedan: Camry or Accord?
Posted by just1dawg on 1/22/25 at 11:30 pm to westbankdabestbank
Although the Civic hybrid is new for 2025, if you fit into it and you need a commuter, it's probably an even better choice than an Accord or Camry.
Personally, I'd get the Accord. The interior is nicer (although the exterior is painfully dull) and it's got tons of room.

re: Toyota Sienna Hybrid, Pro/Cons?

I don't like that the middle row of seats are not intended to be removable in the Sienna. It is possible to remove them, but it involves tools and disconnecting the airbags. We had a Grand Caravan growing up and I remember how tremendously useful it was to be able to remove all of the seats and have a large cargo space. While none of the rear seats folded into the floor, removing them wasn't a huge hassle.
I think the Odyssey is overdue for an update to so it matches the rest of Honda's lineup (most have been updated since 2022 except for the Ridgeline and Odyssey), but that would be my pick over the Sienna. I also like Honda's 3.5 V6. My mother has a 2017 Ridgeline and it drives quite well.

2025 Nissan Versa S 5-speed. MSRP with destination is only $18,330. A shitbox, sure, but it's a new shitbox with no CVT.

Wait till December if you can. I got 0% for 60 months on a Mazda CX-5 last December and they weren't the only ones offering good end-of-the-year rates.

That man's videos have for years been creepy and inappropriate. I'm perfectly willing to live and let live, but he has groomed his son since the very beginning. It's disgusting and just sad for the boy.

re: Does everyone really wash their hands after the pee?
Posted by just1dawg on 6/14/24 at 6:14 pm to Worldly Bum
I do. Because my mother wouldn't let me get contacts in middle school until I proved to her that I washed my hands often enough. That included every single time I used the bathroom, which is a habit I've maintained ever since.

quote:Move over Toyota Avalon, Honda CR-Vs are the favorite vehicle of today's seniors who love nothing better than driving slow in the left lane because they have all day to get to their destination and they know they can't see as well or react as quickly as they used to, so they don't like merging traffic.
I’m sure it’s a great vehicle, but anytime I’m stuck behind someone driving 10 mph under the speed limit, it’s always a goddamn CR-V. 15mph slower if they have Texas plates on I-10
This is due, not to the language, but to the times and locations of the great composers. The best oratorios (essentially operas without acting or spoken dialogue) are in English.
Certainly, the best modern musicals are in English. It has thoroughly dominated the music world in a way that no other language before it ever had.

It’s the only Peter Pan film with a score by John Williams.
My Gold Amex, which is a metal card, is the only one I have that consistently never works when I try to tap it. Always gotta insert it instead.
re: NASA pushes back dates for Artemis II and Artemis III missions.

quote:Artemis isn't a bad program, it's just SLS that is a national disgrace. Boeing can't/won't do engineering on time like they once did but they lobby better than almost any other company in the world.
Artemis should be canceled immediately; of course it won’t be as it’s the result of Lockheed Martin and Boeing lobbying.

This was always inevitable. Due to SLS and Orion sucking up absurd amounts of money for years, NASA was late in awarding contracts for the lunar landers and spacesuits. Even a fully unfettered SpaceX would never have been able to make NASA’s original timeline.
Boeing will not catch up to Airbus as long as Boeing has a board with no engineers or pilots and Airbus does.
re: Apple TV+ to get the most-wanted new sci-fi series in years
Posted by just1dawg on 12/20/23 at 8:20 am to boogiewoogie1978
Shows like this make me wonder how well Apple would do at adapting the last 3 books from The Expanse and finishing out the series.
Consider a used Mazda. Depending on the year and model, you can find ones made in Japan, which in my opinion have superior build quality. And Mazda’s reliability is second only to Toyota’s but their resale isn’t as strong, so you get a better used value. Have him check out the Mazda3 sedan/hatch and CX-3/CX-5 crossovers.
