I recently learned that leaded gas is still used for aviation. Some small planes like Cessnas can be 80 years old and still flying, but do not have engines that are certified to run on leaded gas. So they have leaded.

It may seem silly, but aside from commuting time the biggest advantage for me was being able to use my own bathroom. No bidets in the office washroom!

I have barely watched non-streaming TV for probably a decade or more, but I believe that in Canada it is much more difficult to advertise pharmaceuticals or law services. I think they can do it, but there are a lot of restrictions.

Certainly when I'm ~~subjected~~ exposed to American TV, the number of pharmaceutical commercials is staggering.

What do you call it when large corporations and employers gain control of the government and manipulate laws and taxation systems for their benefit so that money accrures more and more to them?

They rigged the system so that they gain more and more advantage and wealth.

There's also a difference, because our elections typically have only a few races on them. In other words, at the federal level I only vote for the candidates in my writing. Typically four to six options.

In a us election, there can be a ballot containing choices for many different levels, including judges, district attorneys, and so on. Not to mention they might have several referenda on the same ballot too.

I could see that being much more complex on paper, making electronic voting attractive.

Don't be coy, admit that she's your sister.

Thanks for the additional information. Everything newer seems to be Rotax now. Except there was one guy who had a Corvette engine in his Cessna. Other pilots were talking about how it has so much torque his rudder isn't big enough to compensate.

Hopefully in 5 or 10 years, everything will be electric!

For my money (and I do donate every month to Language Transfer, because all the content is completely free) this is the best system for actually learning to use a language, as opposed to memorizing words and phrases.

You can do it with YouTube audio, SoundCloud MP3s, or the convenient app that does what it needs to without any extra bells in whistles.

Just today I learned that the fuel Cessnas use has lead in it, because the engines were developed when lead was in all gasoline and they have not found it worthwhile to certify all of those tens or hundreds of thousands of planes with new engines.

In fact, I was at a fly-in today and there were several Cessnas that were 60 and 70 years old. no unleaded fuel, and no added ethanol, either.

I have started using Tux Guitar. It's an open source version of Guitar Pro, and can read Guitar Pro files.

I second this. It also teaches without using rote memorization. Better than any other books or videos I have ever seen. I have been supporting LT with a monthly donation for several years now.
