Mel is a winner of an EGOT....pretty decent accomplishment.

But Boris is also dead to me because he’s still advocating for double spacing after a period.
Hah! I majored in being a hobbyist, essentially. Easiest way to explain:
St. John's College | Liberal Arts College with a World-Class Faculty
At our rigorous liberal arts college, St. John's College, students read and discuss the Great Books in small discussion classes with a world-class faculty.www.sjc.edu
The ultimate education for the discerning gentleperson who wishes to have a nodding acquaintance with everything, but mastery (or even let's say a meaningful, modern level of knowledge) of nothing. We're just hell at a cocktail party, though!
Long game.
Nothing gets by you, does it?
I wasn't Academy material but was an observant student of Annapolis nightlife.Don't think we weren't pacing you, Middie. We knew that you knew that we knew you that you knew that you had to be awake at 6am to diagram a nuclear reactor. We just had to stagger in to class to pretend to know wtf Euclid was talking about. Advantage: Johnnie. I also stole one of your hats, as is dictated by our eternal enmity.
Interesting discussion in the comments about the DA-40 and full spin handling characteristics. Also sounds like a student freezing up on the controls isn't outside the realm of possibility.

I owned a 40FP and the only ones ever built after mine were sent to China as spin trainers.Not going to speculate more than what's already on the comment section on that thread, but I will point out this piece of information. In about 2006 or 2007, diamond were trying to get the DA40 certified with winglets as part of an upgrade package over the straight DA40. It wouldn't pass the spin certification tests, and it ended up being a giant freaking headache for us (I worked for a diamond dealer at the time). Lots of angry customers and lawsuits.
friend-o.
U.S. President Joe Biden will be briefed later Wednesday by his national security team, spokesperson Jen Psaki said during an interview on MSNBC.
“The message to the people of Haiti is this is a tragic tragedy,”
Thank you!Man, I'm gonna regret this, but "tragedy" doesn't mean "something bad happened". Tragedy is something Euripides (or Aeschylus, or Sophocles) wrote which was meant to harness human sadness to some sense of reason. The whole point of Tragedy (in the you know real definition) is that it's instructive in some way. It is definitely *not* "your kid got hit by a bus, tough luck". I do not understand why it is so difficult for people to use words correctly. This is not a tragedy, it's just some sad poop that happened. Obviously, that sucks, but words mean stuff. Fire away.
Hell, in my red neck of bubba-land, we've had trouble with our PRONOUNS for decades already. All the rest'ay'all are johnny come lately.I think we are debating the traditional definition versus modern definitions acquired through misuse.
Another word that has lost its nuance as its modern definition has overshadowed its original definition is the word "brutalize". Its original definition described becoming brutal not acting brutally.
