@chrisblizzard Yes, and layout (noun) and lay out (verb) work the same way.
@sayrer Why does Twitter for Android now require the "Read Google service configuration" permission? (Yep, haven't been updating.)
@sgalineau Wait. Which one is supposed to be warmer?
@joedrew Good luck out there. Canadian holidays won't be the same without you.
@mattyglesias Another explanation for the data: add together (1) fewer temporary (>4mo) departures and (2) more permanent departures
@sgalineau What, you don't like the stops across North America plus Gander, Reykjavík, Shannon?

@ryanbigg We've removed vendor-prefixed border-radius from Gecko. I'd guess WebKit still has it, though, but not really sure.

Email apparently from the relief first officer of United 885, which was waiting next to the #Asiana214 crash: pprune.org/rumours-news/5185…
@profsamuels_nyu @mkapor @thinkprogress The headline there is quite misleading, and doesn't match the content of the article.
The @NTSB twitter account is posting realtime updates on their #Asiana214 crash analysis and photos worth seeing.

@elwoz Yes, for a pretty long definition of "all the way". Seems like thy can do London (10.5h) but not Auckland (13h).
@elwoz and see the infobox in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Fr… for runway layout and details. Also nyti.ms/13BrCiW
@elwoz Also, 19L/19R takeoffs are the SW-facing direction, towards 101 and the mountains, and very rare.
@elwoz 19L is a runway (leftmost oriented at 190° magnetic); fuel is majority (?) of weight on takeoff; heavier == needs longer runway
