Garmin Pilot! it's cheaper and (less good but still) like ForeFlight; the ultimate in "yeah, technically it has checklists, but it sucks, but it's still free" is FltPlan Go, but even at free it's a little steep.

cartoon illustation of a tall man in short-shorts and a tank top standing next to a little old lady in a pink shirt and purple skirt; she is looking at her smart phone and the man peers into the distance over her head. the man has a farmer's tan, an expression of frustration or dismay, and also a tattoo of four overlapping hearts. three hearts have writing inside them, listing grandparents and their birth and death years. the illustation makes it clear that the little old lady is the tall man's sole remaining grandparent. also the tall man is wearing green slippers (i do not know if that is relevant.)

a photograph of a flat screen tv showing a still from Big Trouble in Little China with a DVD paused indication on screen. an incredibly ancient man is glowing from within as he transforms into his intangible form. his left hand is also growing an sharp, lengthening pinky nail.

an aerial photograph of a landscape dominated by water and tundra below and storm clouds above. to the lower right is a large, round body of water with ripples from outflow winds. to the upper left is a shaft of rain falling from a thunderstorm. the atmosphere is a little hazy and blue in the shadowy lightning.

an illustration in black on a beige or yellowed background titled "A Garland for May Day 1895," subtitled, "dedicated to the workers by Walter Crane." There is a human wearing a dress standing barefoot on an expanse of grass. With arms stretched wide, they hold up a giant wreath that encircles their body from behind their thighs to above their head. The wreath is wrapped with a ribbon or banner that contains the following statements: no people can be free while dependent for their bread. the plough is a better backbone than the factory. no child-toilers. production for use not for profit. solidarity of labour. the cause of labour is the hope of the world. socialism means the most helpful & happy life for all. a commonwealth when wealth is common. art & enjoyment for all. hope in work & joy in leisure. cooperation & emulation not competition. shorten working day & lengthen life. England should feed her own people. the land for the people. merrie England.

webcam image of Elk Mountain and a road in Wyoming from www.wyoroad.info. the date printed on the top of the image is Fri May 15 12:31:36 2026. copyright is claimed by State of Wyoming.

The image captured depicts a cloudless sky above a conifer-covered mountain with just a little bit of snow remaining in its highest recesses and scattered here and there along presumably shaded or deeper areas. the foreground has a short stretch of highway leading from image center to the lower right of the image. some kind of sign pole is to the right of the road.

from foreground to Elk Mountain in the background, there are grass/scrub lands with occasional snow fences and dirt roads; otherwise, the scene looks bereft of all human habitation.

what a good little guy. [repost with alt-text]

The scene is something like scrubland, with patchy grasses in the foreground and low evergreens and shrubs in the background. Passing on a dirt patch between vegetation is a fox-like creature with brown fur and a little black tip on the tail. The fox looks to be trotting from left to right, staring straight ahead. What makes this Trailcam Good is that the fox is holding a large fish in its jaw; the fish looks to be about a quarter of the fox's bodyweight.

A cow's head occupies the upper-right quarter of a trail camera image. The trail camera appears to be situated on a low, grassy ridge. There is a two-track trail leading into the distance, where a higher ridge is topped with trees. It looks to be autumn, as there are a couple trees showing yellow leaves. What makes the trailcam image good is the cow poking its grinning / smirking face into the frame from the top right. The cow almost seems to be sharing a knowing glance with the viewer.

from the first time i held one of these, i wondered whether it was from a video game or was going to be put in one.

image from online store page of the Bielmeier electric staple gun showing it in action stapling a pale piece of wood; the staple gun is white with black accents. marketing copy states "Delivers up to 850 shots per full charge." the staple gun is very modern looking, with a pistol grip and a chunky magazine-shaped forward area that contains the staples (or nails).

yawmanflight.com is something i have wanted to try for just this reason: if i want the throttle cracked at 20% all the way from abeam to final and then idle over the threshold, it's just much more satisfying with an analog slider or something.

Might be a reason it looked *somewhat* familiar.

photo of a crossroad in a quiet neighborhood. there are red and yellow and orange and green leaves on the trees and also on the ground. very autumnal street scene with few cars.

illustrated bar chart showing the "Leading causes of violent death worldwide among children age under five" showing that Israel/IDF is responsible for more deaths of children than fire and falls and a little less than drowning, transport incidents, and choking.
