I'm guessing either Capcity or jer.
I still have less than a handful and even fewer if you don't count posters who are no longer here or now post under a different handle:

Well that is a acronym I don't know. What does it mean?

Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast. Basically it is a system that allows you to transmit and receive other aircrafts position, speed and altitude and then display it on an iPad, panel GPS or multi function display. All aircraft flying into controlled airports or above 18k feet have to be equipped by Jan 1st 2020.

So we obviously all realize few drone owners seem to abide by the less than 400 feet and not near airports rules so if more of them were ADS-B equipped they would at least show up and help with see and avoid. The downfall is obviously it is incredibly hard to enforce or police and they will always find a way around it.

Ugh, I dislike this whole JoJo Siwa phenomenon at the moment. Just shows how dumb our country is. So basically a dance mom from Iowa gets her precious little JoJo on the infamous Dance Moms show. Both Mom and daughter look slightly cray cray (as does everyone on that show). Anyway, JoJo’s trademark is these stupid ass huge hairbows. Can’t really make it on this reality drama so JoJo records bad kids bop type songs, markets the hell out of herself and is now on every product imaginable. I know of at least two girls who went as JoJo for Halloween. Meanwhile JoJo is now 15 years old but still has to dress like this 9yr old persona she created. People will do anything for fame and money.
Guess who's coming to Omaha?

@wxman1, London's Gatwick airport was closed overnite because someone kept flying a drone over the runway at random times most of the night. What a pain in the butt for all those travelers. Too bad they couldn't have figured out a way to shoot it down.

With another drone.
 
Grammar person here: why do people say "on accident" instead of the correct "by accident"? It drives me nuts (and bananas, if I'm craving ice cream. But I digress.). It absolutely does not make sense to me. So, I went to my resident expert, Grammar Girl, and found that while it's kind of a matter of the speaker's birth year, there's no real answer as to why. I vote for not paying adequate and respectful attention when older folks speak.

Do you stand "in line" or "on line"

Except for BoxsterCy, seriously, don't listen to him speakin' or writin' dat English.

With that said, I do say "by accident" and even after 40 plus years in Minnesota I don't say "Can you borrow me that."

But do you ask someone who is going somewhere if you can "come with?"

I'm not even asking about duck, duck, green duck.
