  1. Now This
  2. Space Force and Rods from the Gods. EMP us and we’ll drop kinetic weapons with nuclear like explosive force on key political, military and infrastructure targets while still retaining our nuclear triad. Taking out Party headquarters and other sites, the nuclear missile silos and maybe Three Gorges dam ( if it doesn’t fail on its own) would fairly immasculate them in addition to their creating their own economic collapse.
  3. The terracing idea is sound. I suggested something similar be located in the SEZ instead of extra seating. But the location as designed is going to create some terrible sight lines for folks in the last 10-20 yards of seating on the South end of each grandstand.
  4. I still think the terracing looks like ass, but the rest is growing on me.
  5. Maybe we should look into temporary speakers between each patron. That way social distancing becomes less of an issue, and everyone can go deaf while the new Adzillatron overruns the band and game enroute to achieving awareness.
  6. Ran the wildlings past the USS Alabama on the way back from vacation. I haven’t been there years, and wondered how bad the damage was from Katrina. You can definitely see the dings and updated paint on numerous planes, and the air museum in Pensacola lent them numerous birds to round out their collection. Most notably a YF-17 sitting next to an F/A-18, and an F-14 Bombcat sitting outside. The highlight is still seeing an A-12 inside and the requisite J58 sitting next to it. They’ve added content and various aircraft, but you can see the park took a beating. The deck of the Alabama is in bad repair, and seeing an F-16, 15 and 14 beside a Seahawk on display makes me feel old.
  7. Probably new to aviation or oblivious and thought it was a turbine commander.
  8. Wish we could stumble our way into a bunch of consecutive conference championships and Heisman trophies.
  9. Approximately 1/4 took some form of leave or early out.
  10. The high retirement numbers may mean low actual furloughs if a bunch of short timers decide to go ahead and opt out early. AA was looking to shed 1000 a year anyway via retirement, and I think half the Delta seniority list was set to age out in the next five years. I agree, I think everyone will over-WARN and then adjust based on actual demand versus early outs and extended time off. Some good news in therapeutics and a possible vaccine release in October would make a world of difference as well.
  11. Travel is picking back up, and I think ATC is running a lot of skeleton crews. For example, tower and ground are generally combined at DFW, and ground is handling all ramp calls at LAX. O’Hare is still O’Haring, but they run an interesting system where they put you in a conga line and don’t expect to hear from or call you unless your gate isn’t open. It’s kinda wild.
  12. Well, I’ve never flown a 175, but the bus adds water back in after the water separator to add a little humidity to the air. Maybe the very likely full cold temp setting froze some of that add in post ACM. The packs supply air for the lowest temperature zone demand, which is as cold as possible right now, and then trim valves add in hot air to make each zone conditioned Thinking about it now I find that it’s not uncommon to get hit with the occasional ice crystal while on the ground. I know you could pretty much make it snow on the flight deck in older Embraer products like the E-120.
  13. 1. I’m not close to new here. 2. I’m not the one with a history of prison rape fantasy postings. 3. This isn’t anything close to a dark corner of the www 4. It was just a suggestion. 5. Calendars are for the simple minded. I can shoot fireworks with the kids and grill just as well on days that aren’t the 4th of this month.
  14. Just a friendly suggestion. Consider not sharing all the sexually explicit things that run through your head. Or at least trot out the June Cleaver version.
  15. You get what you get when you Munich someone else’s flag. I mean Buchenwald happened to her. Dachau you do it. I don’t see what the Fuhrer is about.
  16. I wonder if they had a high percentage of model pagoda makers just snapping and losing their shit after watching some idiot in a rubber monster suit repeatedly destroy their handiwork.
  17. Nope. I did have my bacon saved when I took off from DFW without clearance one morning at about 2 am on a freight run by the tower crew. Had to sit through a field investigation once with the FAA, Cessna and Lycoming reps when they were not so subtlety implying that I screwed up when the engine stopped during stall training and we had to do an off airport landing. That came to an abrupt end when they pulled the plane out of the field and the engine wouldn’t idle after starting, and they found the majority of the training fleet had the same , though less severe, issue. The LAS incident was an owner operator that didn’t spend much time around big airports. I saw him at Signature because we landed right after him. He probably should have considered Henderson or North Las Vegas instead.
  18. Oh yeah. Busy as hell there. Saw a Pilatus get confused and land on a runway of his choosing, one of the 25’s, proceed to get a chewing and a phone number to call. Normal procedure is to have most commercial traffic land 25L and most GA traffic proceed direct to the Stratosphere to join a left base to 19R.
  19. We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted downSo we grabbed an alligator and we fought another roundWe filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behindAnd when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind
  20. Gotcha. Shut up and coach. You cannot be an advocate, mentor or friend of POC unless you support BLM. Preferably visibly and actively. Listen to or support any organization and you are beholden to every one of the or beliefs. Without question. To the end of time. Seriously, apply your viewpoint to any other aspect in your life and see how preposterous it gets. Are you in lockstep with everything your political candidate supports? Your job? Family? Even if that’s true is your history of being a good person or treating those around you well all for naught due to differing beliefs from someone else. Is that enough to publicly call out, shame and endanger the livelihood of yourself or people you disagree with? That’s the problem. Even more so than police brutality or the racial issues of today. Because, as much as we want to solve those, we can’t have a conversation with people of differing beliefs to get to a resolution. Life is reduced to a series of either/or choices and labels, hypocritical, empty virtue signaling and and attack on others up to and including ruining their lives and careers. How many people are cowed into silence who might otherwise want to help because some woke asshole will dox them or bring down the mob for not towing the SJW line? It’s a bunch. Can you believe that inequality, police brutality and racial barriers exist without buying into the totality of systemic racism? I know this will cause apoplexy and some posters to start shitting through their dicks, but the answer is yes. If a person believes in that vein and wants to redress the issues are they still an enemy of BLMs? Where can someone wear something they want, particularly a public figure since that is your concern, without fear of the mob? If Gundy was photographed next to his pool in an OAN shirt is he still at fault for not being wary of his public status? What about if someone catches a shot of him in his living room? Or we can quit all the nonsensical rules of woke social etiquette, accept that Gundy appears to be an acceptable human being with those young black men in his charge, and not give a F is his beliefs don’t completely align with all of his players.
  21. I’m sorry, but there are equally egregious propaganda platforms posing as news outlets for the left. Most of which have been caught flat out altering or editing footage and recordings, reporting partial statements to shape narratives or flat out making up their own shit. And people buy into them hook line and sinker. They’re entitled to without fear of being publicly and socially ostracized and possibly have their careers out in jeopardy just because someone disagrees with them. Just like Gundy. But it’s antithetical to Hubbard’s beliefs you say. So the F what? Does Gundy treat him appropriately and with respect is the only thing that matters. A whole life of work can be flushed away because you don’t support x activist organization of today? F that.
  22. A little bit of both. Whatever happened between the two of them was enough for Hubbard to walk back his stance. It was BS to handle it like he did. And it’s BS to go after someone over differing political beliefs like that on social media. If Gundy has to be wary of his choice of fishing shirts then Hubbard needs to understand that his platform can destroy a coach’s career. The coach doesn’t have to endorse some movement or else. Does he treat those around him respectfully and appropriately is all that matters Gundy has had something like 550 scholarship athletes in his program during his time at OSU. I’m sure some guys do/don’t like him as is the case in any program, but we’d have a pretty good idea if Gundy had racial issues or otherwise before now in a world of constant monitoring of all things social media. I don’t care that he’s goofy, dislikes scissors but loves hair gel or has a tendency to talk out of his ass. And I LOL at the people saying he was making a statement. To who? The fish? Think his family doesn’t know what he believes? Get a life.
