-snip- I think all agree filling boards up with 'donkey' rubbish is boring and tiresome, we get the point he is quite excited about a para sailing donkey (animal cruelty) whatever floats your boat I guess. I am definitely not "all" then, and I have the hunch the biggest trap (for not sayi...

I removed all your crap, maybe I should have just moved all your crap to this board and filled it up with your donkey garbage??? Excellent moderating, Marty. Real even-handed and unbiased.

Killing the crabs is much more easy if you just put them into boiling water, they suffer less and shorter, I find the meat tastes better (as they have no time to produce significant levels of stress hormones?). Not an expert on this, so take with a grain of salt, but these were my results in tests w...

just stumbled over this POV (and aftermath at the end) vid from 2006, a German GA guy deploying the chute after running into a glider tow cable, looks like one or both of the two guys screwed up royally, but I bet the author at least was happy to have survived after being so lucky as to avoid the in...

that is from 14 Jan 2002, nothing to do with this accident, there is no indication of engine failure here.
