At least 18 airliners were grounded by damage caused by a hailstorm that hit Calgary International Airport last week, and the impact will be felt for weeks. Golf ball-sized hail pelted the airport on the evening of Aug. 5 and also extensively damaged the terminal. WestJet, which is based at Calgary, said 16 planes were knocked off the schedule by the intense cell. That's about 10% of its fleet. Edmonton-based Flair Airlines lost use of two of its Boeing 737s to the storm. It has about 20 aircraft.

With all of the airline woes as of late, traveling in America via plane seems to be getting harder and harder. Imagine getting all packed up, driving to the airport, parking your car, getting past security, getting to the gate, then anxiously awaiting to board your flight only to see the pilot walk past you in handcuffs.

Saying that a $110,000 travel trailer is bigger and nicer than my 500-square-foot studio apartment isn’t that much of a feat if I’m honest, but all you need to know is that this trailer looks miles nicer than any RV or camper I’ve ever seen. Hell, the deck alone seems nicer than my apartment. This, ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between, is the Wildwood & Salem 42Veranda travel trailer by Forest River. This behemoth is not meant to be regularly towed around, though. It’s actually meant to be towed to a destination and parked there for long-term mobile home living.

Remember being told that the internet would make our lives easier? I’m going to put on my Maury Povich mask to say the lie detector test determined that was a lie. Now we’re all infinitely connected and constantly contactable by virtually anyone, and deceitful folks can intentionally sensationalize things online to exploit popularity. If you’ve seen the recent viral footage of “pregnant” cars with giant inflated bubbles in China, then you’ve likely fallen prey to a sensationalized fallacy.

Vice President Kamala Harris will call for a federal ban on food and grocery price gouging on Friday. Within her first 100 days in office, the Democratic presidential candidate will push for the first-ever federal ban on “corporate price gouging” by food companies to prevent them from “unfairly jacking up prices on consumers,” her campaign said Wednesday. Harris also wants to provide the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and state attorneys general with the authority to impose stiff penalties on corporations that violate such a ban.

A good pizza sauce makes ALL the difference in the flavor and end result of your dish. Personally, I've not found any commercially processed pizza sauces that don't taste.... fake, so I made my own. I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes in a can as they tend to taste a bit metallic, but you use what you've got and it's 1000 times better than storebought. Fresh tomatoes are in season right now though, so if you can get them fresh, more power to ya!

The final point of many space missions is an extremely isolated spot in the South Pacific Ocean, where spacecraft are splashed down and never seen again. Much of the focus on the upcoming SpaceX Crew-9 mission has been on a potential delay and whether or not two seats will be left empty for Boeing (BA) Starliner’s stranded crew. When SpaceX’s Dragon returns to Earth in 2025, its unoccupied trunk will be jettisoned into this spacecraft cemetery.
