FAA Wants Permanent Helicopter Restrictions at Reagan Airport - WSJ

The path the American Airlines regional jet took toward Runway 33 required it to turn toward the right and then bank left to line up for its landing. That route crosses over a lane for helicopters at a relatively low altitude.

This is the core problem and nothing else. You’ve got a 200’ altitude restriction on helicopters, but the traffic on short final is going to be bumping into that.

The intersection off of Runway 33 is the problem. So move the routes for greater separation or close 33 permanently.

Snowfall in the woods ❄️

Usually when the house is quiet, the four children are up to no good.

Occasionally it’s because they all found a book to read and the 4 year made herself a butter sandwich.

I set up a scanner in my client’s office so that they could send me copies of physical documents.

I now realize that all I did was set up a modern fax machine.

Apple Completes Pixelmator Acquisition - MacRumors

Apple could eventually integrate these apps into iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, but for now they remain separate and available from the App Store.

I would be absolutely devastated if Apple folded it into the OS and killed the standalone app. Pixelmator is far too valuable, and important, to get swallowed up and relegated to tiny updates at the margin only once every twelve months.

Hamas Gets Biden-Appointed Judge To Overturn Trump’s Order To Release Hostages - Babylon Bee

On Monday, Trump issued a stern ultimatum to Hamas to release all remaining hostages by noon on Saturday or face dire consequences, but sources confirmed that Hamas leaders obtained a ruling from a judge appointed by the previous administration to effectively tie Trump’s hands.

lol, this is a clever one.

All lawsuits against the Executive branch get a lot of attention when filed, but I think on average less than 1 in 10 succeeds. It’s incredible that our government and its three branches have functioned so successfully for this long.

That’s funny, I could’ve sworn there was a bird feeder here earlier?!

The Magnificent 7 Are So Last Year. Cash Cows Are the New Kings. - WSJ

Plenty of investors, including Joel Greenblatt of “Magic Formula” fame, and even Buffett himself, ignore the academic straitjacket plaguing some value indexes.

Yeah, owning every publicly traded company in the market so you never have to pick winners and losers is so naive.
