He was saying 35-40 mph on small rural roads.

>They could use a Japanese kei truck.

I was hearing elsenet from someone who was planning to buy a Japanese kei truck until he borrowed one. Apparently with more than about 300 lb in the bed they feel dangerous to drive- combination of instability and poor braking performance.

British Airways certainly made a profit from Concorde, which was operated by a separate division of the company.

I don't know if (then state-owned) Air France did.

In the extended edition of Two Towers they show him in a flashback of Gondor retaking Osgiliath.

It's not a particularly flattering portrayal- the military success is shown as belonging to Boromir more than Denethor- but at least it shows him sane.

FEHB plans would also have this incentive. I think at least historically Federal employees didn't switch employers as much (though job-hopping between agencies happens), but more importantly if you retire from the Federal government you keep your health insurance.

Got it in one!

My favorite diner is just off an Interstate exit in Connecticut. I'm pretty sure it opened after the Interstate highway was built.

Whenever I'm in there, it seems busy. Part of the USP is that it's open 24/7 (something increasingly rare)...

As opposed to the story about the person who leaves their unwanted furniture outside with a sign reading "Free- Please Take". It sits there undisturbed for a week.

Then they replace the sign with one that reads "$10- put cash in letterbox"

Within an hour, the furniture is gone, though of course there's no cash!

They do if you drive over a stinger (or perhaps a sufficiently large number of nails or other sharp objects).

AIUI a Catholic monk who is also an ordained priest is addressed as Father not Brother (certainly this is true of the Dominicans I've met).

I think this is also true for Orthodox monks.

I'm not sure if there's a Christian denomination that has pastors who aren't priests, and also has monks. So this sounds to me more like a situation where all fellow members of the church are addressed as Brother/Sister.

Why would a flock of birds large enough to be ingested by both engines of a two-engined plane not also be large enough to be ingested by all four engines of a four-engined plane?

Of course William Tell was a crossbowman so could hold his bow at full draw for as long as he liked.
