Having lived in the Puget Sound area for most of my life, I can tell you that Boeing did a competent job of tarnishing its own name in the years preceding the McDonnell-Douglas merger.

On the face of it, that sounds like the end result of poor decision-making by the Asahi developers.

Did they hold the 1974 seminar, or not???

... or moved to non-Rust dependent distributions.

Alas, poor Debian. I knew him ...

It's cheap land. But often not owned by the port authority that builds the airport. If the PA had to acquire buffer zones, nothing would ever get built. So the land remains in private hands. And the uses it is put to are often low rent. Like warehouses, scrap metal yards, dive bars, etc.

Reminds me of the trouble ticket/mechanics responses that made such humorous reading:

Flight crew: Engine No. 1 is missing.
Maintenance: Found Engine No. 1 on the left wing where it's supposed to be.

Seriously, "lost an engine" can mean so many different things.

I've worked on projects where maybe 5 people were actually contributed to the effort. But 100 people would show up for progress meetings. And those 95 people would have no input other than not liking the font I had used on my presentation.

ADHD people don't like making eye contact? No problem, boss. You can have that camera on your laptop staring at you all day.

Recent versions of Windows can indeed get you to the login screen pretty quickly, much of the time. But, after that, the time it takes for you to go from the login screen to a functional, usable desktop can be several minutes. Perhaps not on a home computer, I don't know... but I've seen this happen quite a bit on our work machines on those unfortunate occasions I've needed to log into a Windows computer for whatever reason (which fortunately is not a daily occurrence).

Going forward, their charitable "donations" are all going to a company they themselves own.

How is this different than George Costanza's Christmas gifts of "Donations to the Human Fund"?

Money for People, indeed.

Oh boy! The Deux Chevauxs have arrived.

They could turn that into a profit center. Much like the Texas civil courts have done.

Murphy, Quinn, Debbie... so we gotta choose between Marco, Stormy, Sparks, or Hesh?

I'm looking forward to the bored captain launching his pirate radio station...

Nah. I walk in to Home Depot, don't find what I want and just walk out the exit door. No problems. Sometimes I even walk out the entrance door.

It's nice to live in a town without homeless bums.
