You remember Gabby, right Jay? We knew her at UHS.

Sorry, no GIF because that's not how I roll, but... The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension

I haven't watched it because I'm not interested in paying to watch it, but from what I gather this a remarkable series.

Perplexity search and summary yields a long-ish answer, but basically: "As of October 24, no official confirmation has been provided that the priceless historical items and furnishings [...] were fully removed [...] as of now there is no verified assurance that the [...] contents were transferred."

I would be less worried if the higher courts had consistently shown more willingness to act as the check and balance they should be rather than bowing to trump (perhaps in fear, perhaps in ambition) as they often seem to have recently...

Adding to the bill, operating costs for these aircraft probably run around $8,500 per flight hour. It varies depending on how many hours a year you fly and other factors, but that's a reasonable ball park figure. The cost goes beyond the purchase price.

Thank you for keeping an eye on the cesspool that is now Twitter [sic] so I don't have to. The sacrifice is not unappreciated.

I think that is the most stylish cone of shame I've ever seen. :)

Nice! The padauk will darken over time (which I'm sure you know, but buyers might not).

Thanks! Good to have something to compare with. In this case I wanted to err on the tall side initially, since that's easier to fix - if needed I can just cut the bottom off to bring them down a little. (The finish is shellac which is easy to touch up in spots.)

Thank you!

Yeah the king and queen might be a little tall. I wanted them to be easily distinguished, but maybe it's a little much. Thanks!!

Well, how identifiable they are is a bit subjective - what do you think? I have not played with it much yet so I'm not entirely sure. Might try a different design for the bishops. Shellac finish. Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you!
