Huh, for the first time in my life I'm taking vacation days not to travel somewhere, visit someone, spend time with my family, no.

I've decided I need to buy a new microwave. There's nothing 'mechanically' wrong with my current one. It does a great job of heating my food. But when I type in 90 seconds on the control panel, I want to see it count down the seconds from 90. Mine converts it to 1:30 and counts down from there. I don't like that. [/SheldonMoment]

First world problems :lol:

Commercial aircraft is what I'm thinking about... (and yes, why can't they build good commercial airplanes when they can build some of the best fighter jets in the world?)

What?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilyushin_Il-86 - medium-range passenger jet the size of 747.

The safest plane in the world, with no passenger casualties throughout the entire extensive service life.

Unfortunately, withdrawn from service because the world wanted quiet, not safe, planes.

Right there. It scared away Death himself just by spooling up.

Strangely, this does also not work out too well:

There had only been one incident, when the autoland and the runway extension gear of the presidential machine failed.

When you get it, try to rewire the display so that it reads T-90, T-89, T-88, etc.
