  • Woman sentenced for accusing her estranged spouse of illegally accessing bank account from outer space

    Jump

  • Despite an internal investigation that exonerated McClain, Worden continued to promote the false claims to news outlets and hired a media consultant to amplify them. She also publicly released her former spouse’s personal information.

    Huh, I wonder why there were problems in that marriage?

  • For that special someone on Valentine's Day

  • Never heard of her or that song, but that was great.

    And personally I basically know two things about Sturla Holm Lægreid but I still feel like he’s got more red flags than a communist parade. She’s right to run!

  • Feelgood Friday... what are you looking forward to this weekend?

  • I did not get to see that game; I did watch USA v. Latvia. No real predictions yet; Canada and the US are obviously strong teams but Finland has a lot of talent too.

  • WTF Bronze Guy

    Jump

  • From the Defector link:

    It is not my place to tell this anonymous Norwegian woman what to do with her life. I will simply note that I have found it in my heart to forgive people who never medaled in anything. Does Lægreid seem like the sort of person who will learn from this mistake and dedicate himself to the rigorous introspection and honest self-accounting that it requires? No, not really. He seems like a fairly selfish moron who follows every heedless whim. But winters are long and brutal in Oslo, and I certainly would not judge how anyone decides to keep warm.

  • I’ve worked a number of jobs in TV, most behind the scenes. I’ve long said most of those jobs people at home wouldn’t know exist unless I make a mistake. That does not mean they were simple jobs.

    Many people do not understand the amount of work that goes into other jobs they have never done, nor do they understand what makes someone good at that job.

  • United Airlines Removes The Airbus A350 From Its Fleet Plans

    Jump

  • The trigger for this sudden change? The filing also contains a newly disclosed dispute with Rolls‑Royce involving a widebody engine purchase and maintenance agreement, undoubtedly referring to the Trent XWB engines that would equip any future A350s. The dispute centers around a $175 million commitment payment, and a demand for repayment after what United calls a breach, the kind of dispute that can easily ripple into fleet plans when an aircraft has a single engine supplier.

  • Russian Orthodox Priest Urges People to Pray for End to Telegram Messenger App Ban

    Jump

  • Alexander Mikushin, a priest at the Pokrovsky Cathedral in the city of Barnaul, said Russians should “ask God” to bring “wisdom” to officials at Roskomnadzor who approved the decision to block the service. Mikushin described Telegram as more than a communication tool, calling it a space “for prayer, heartfelt conversation, and helping one’s neighbor.”

  • Feelgood Friday... what are you looking forward to this weekend?

    Jump

  • As much as I can. I especially like alpine skiing, hockey (men’s and women’s), the sliding sports, curling, snowboard and ski cross, ski jumping, speed skating, really most of the sports. I’m not as much of a fan of the ones decided by judges scoring things just because the results can sometimes see questionable, although I enjoy seeing the talent on display.

  • What member of a major musical group would be most helpful if you were together in a spaceship where something was going wrong?

    Jump

  • James Williamson of the Stooges became an electrical engineer, working at AMD and then became VP of technical standards at Sony, most notably helping to codify the Blu-ray standard. If something’s going wrong on a spaceship odds are good that you’ll want an electrical engineer.

  • The real ceiling cat

    Jump

  • I think on a residential exterior I’ve usually seen full bricks, but they’re only a facade nowadays, not structural, so it’s only one deep and then normal wood framing and plywood behind the brick. I have seen at least once on a house show where they just made lines in stucco and painted it to look like brick, and brick face tiles on the interior.
