You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

I don't get along with ferries (seasick), and even with the delay this was much faster than trekking out to the port. Plus on the outbound the winds were bad enough that the ferries had cancelled all the sailings through 1300.

That is correct...their existing two are ex Silver. So are most of the pilots too.

I'm a big turboprop fan, but then I'm not most people haha

Are turboprops cool again?

The answer is a solid maybe. But at least in my opinion, this one sure is.

So far it's just LAS and SCF from an SMO base...I believe they're also toying with another west coast silicon valley destination (but not positive on that). Realistically too they just don't have that many birds yet (I think 2 in service and a handful more on the way in the first half of the year).

Blue Raspberry doesn’t really do it for it, but if you mix in a few cups of absinthe it’s like…doable.

I regularly remark reality frequently feels like what would happen if you combined the writers rooms of Always Sunny, Arrested Development and Veep

After a moment of reflection it’s either in his personal bank account or the ballroom. Or maybe one of those warehouses.
