Pilot: Mayday mayday mayday, we've had an engine out

Tower: Is it a full or partial engine out?

Pilot: Partially out of the cowling

Get a little portable bidet. They're not ideal, but it sure beats the awful toilet paper in public bathrooms.

While others grow a beard because we've lost everything on top and it's at least a consolation prize.

Helaman Halls at BYU. A lot of the student housing had fun post-it art or a variety of national flags in the windows, at least as of a few years ago.

I've gained about 30 lbs (14kg) over the last two years. I fell out of the habit when I got my first job out of college, but now that I'm not working remotely I have a better schedule, yet I still have trouble maintaining motivation long enough to make a habit of it.

I love running, but I can't seem to make myself do it. With winter closing in again I worry that I won't be able to muster the strength to go run outside again until the spring.

Any tips or inspiration anyone could share would be appreciated.

"Liquidation" sounds like it's just another way to say "sunken"

That money IS going to NASA, and then NASA decided it was a worthwhile investment to work with SpaceX to transport astronauts to the space station, resupply the station, and be an important research partner in autonomous landing systems, full-flow staged combustion engines, and many many more.

The rest of the money is coming from commercial launch customers, government and private customers alike.

Also, fiber internet doesn't do you any good while you're in the air or on the sea.
