For aviation geeks - Boeing has decided to go ahead with a larger version of the 747, rather than see 747 production end. The new version will still be smaller than the new Airbus A380, but the new 747 will be more fuel-efficient from a passenger-mile (the cost to carry one passenger one mile) standpoint. For decades, the 747 has had the lowest passenger-mile cost, but the new A380 will beat the current 747 in that criteria.
The A380 did end up overweight, which will hurt its passenger-mile performance.

Smartest thing I did was walk into the dealership with a financing offer from LendingTree, which the dealer ended up matching and cutting the cost of the car by a grand to get it to the approved loan amount.
Yeah, I did the same thing when I purchased my truck (albeit not LendingTree) and it's amazing how you suddenly become the car salesman's best friend when you wave a check under their nose. "Knock a grand off? Sure! No problem, buddy!"

OMG, you can add lush products to an Amazon wishlist. I just WENT TO TOWN.
Ah, a January premiere. Thanks!
I just realized that with new seasons starting, I hadn't seen it and, since the proverbial they slipped

I don't think anything could make today salvageable.
Maybe a rollicking impeachment.
