  1. That's the thing, man. Shitty people begat shitty people. Currently on Brisket's ledge.
  2. This Skycast is pretty good without those two blithering idiots.
  3. Lolz. The airlines are a profit gig (sometimes).
  4. Fuck them. Hope Michigan wins and the title gets vacated in a couple of years.
  5. Boeing departed from engineering leadership after the McDonnell Douglas merger. The company became Boeing in name only.
  6. UAL is supposed to begin receiving MAX 10s in 2024 or 25. That plug will be an emergency exit that's hinged at the bottom with a slide similar to a 757-300.
  7. Fantastic. I had it on cassette and vinyl.
  8. That's exactly what happened; the question is, was it Boeing or Alaska? Apparently, Alaska guts the airplane upon delivery for wifi installation. We'll know soon enough. The Airworthiness Directive is a one-time check. UAL will have completed inspections on the fleet by the end of today.
  9. 1,095 days sober Congratulations Ashli
  10. It's the dismal tide.
  11. This is my religion, sir. Jesus doesn't get me.
  12. Here's another data point for your kid that has the UT dream. Try a spring transfer. Most transfers are applying for Fall admission, and you're competing with incoming CAP kids as well. My youngest graduated high school last May at 6.2%, so no auto admit. She was CAP'd, but had no desire to do summer school last summer (UTSA and Arlington require summer school). However she did have 38 hours of dual credit, so in UT's mind already a college sophomore and eligible for transfer. She was accepted everywhere she applied, but took a scholarship in the Honors college at TX ST knowing that transferring was the plan. She worked hard over the summer writing essays and resumes. The old deadline was Oct. 1st, but is now Sept. 1st, so you've got to get this shit done over the summer. I can't prove that it increases your chances, but there's less competition for Spring transfer admissions. She was notified of her acceptance mid October before any grades have been posted in her first semester of college, and got an on campus housing contract at ADH. Odd, she wasn't accepted as high school applicant, but transferred to UT because of the work she did in high school. AP is a scam; steer your kid towards dual credit.
  13. In 24 hours it's over and we've won. Say it and manifest it for my anxiety.
