How Much Fuel Do Airplanes Use?

It takes a fair amount of fuel to get an airplane off the runway and keep it moving forward in the sky. This animated infographic from Vani Plaku’s RED SIDE provides a comparison of how much aviation fuel or electric power is required based on the size, weight, and speed of various aircraft. It’s incredible just how much fuel a modern jet consumes every minute.

WARNING: Parents, there be funny business ahead!

Bakers, will someone please get a handle on these clown cakes?

"Woo woo woo!"

Wait. Let me rephrase that.

What I mean is, I'm seeing a lot of funny business lately...

Don't tell me this candle placement wasn't intentional.

(But do feel free to share a burning pee joke. That'd be hilarious.)

...and at some point we just have to ask SWEET MERCY WHAT IS THAT CLOWN DOING?!

Keep it up, Chuckles, and someday you'll be juggling one less dancing dog, if you catch my drift. (You know, tripping the blue elephant? Cooling the cream pie? Honking the big shoe?)

Hey, Bozo! Get those hands where I can see 'em!

Look, I'm all for romance, but did the Wizard display teach us nothing?

And I'm not sure these censor dots are the solution, either:

Though I suppose it does beat the alternative. [shudder]

Thanks to Dominique G., Jeny F., Kara P., Ibo, Melanie T., & Robin M., who are, suspiciously, all smiles.

P.S. Is your life boring? Does your soul yearn for adventure? Are you waiting for the universe to send you a sign?  

Then here:

The Yodeling Pickle

Also the universe says "hi."

(Listen, if you can't think of anything to do with an 8-inch plastic yodeling pickle, then I can't help you.)

Loaded with sweat-absorbing powders, Carpe’s antiperspirants feel dry going on and keep you dry.

Well my loves, it appears as though the answer to “Can the Big Pattern Company (Simplicity/Burda/McCalls/ect.) survive the death of JoAnn?” has come.

The answer is no. No it cannot. It has been sold to a liquidator just like JoAnns was.

So if there is ANYTHING you want I suggest you get it now. simplicity.com is currently having a pattern sale and I snatched up some that might be useful for cosplay purposes.

I am very glad these last couple of years I have built up my collection.

Links to some of the adaptive clothing patterns on the Simplicity website:

Shirts that unsnap at the collar and arm for port access

Walker bags

Wheelchair bags

Imitation button-downs that actually fasten up the back with hook and eye closure, for people with limited mobility who still want to look nice

Fidget page. I know quilters often enjoy making these!

If you search the website for “Adaptive” there’s about 12 of these altogether. I don’t sew much but I might pick up a few just so I have them on hand if I or someone I know needs something like this. And as OP says, they’re on sale!
