  1. I work with several former Apache pilots and when they saw pictures of that column I swear they started salivating...
  2. I thought it was orange juice futures...
  3. One BIG thing that WE are getting out of this war is actual live testing of the weapons we developed to counter Russian military assets. And it appears that the tests are going very well. Flight testing is one thing - live testing is quite another.
  4. We could do it over Ukraine and...oops...did we accidentally drop those bombs? My bad.
  5. We could set up a GoFundMe, but don't let Trudeau know...😉
  6. Poland has some MiG-29s...but, there'd probably still be a decent amount of training if they're different models than the Ukrainian pilots are used to...
  7. All of the Ukrainian aircraft are Soviet/Russian - Sukhois and MiGs... Probably not a lot of those in the NATO inventory.
  8. Just had my first episode with a KS last month. I had Covid in January and had gotten pretty dehydrated during that time. Started feeling that back and side pain and it was the worst thing I've ever had. I'd rather get kicked in the junk than have that happen again. Ended up in the ER where they confirmed it was KS. Gave me morphine...it did NOTHING. Gave me a little more. Still nothing. Finally gave me toradol. Pain dropped almost immediately. That stuff is magical. Took a day or so for it to completely pass and all the pain to subside And the doc said that since I've had one, I'll probably have more...I am NOT looking forward to that.
  9. Have I mentioned that I really hate you? Because I do right now.
  10. Ok...so I've apparently been targeted for an AMEX Bus Plat offer of 150K MR points for $15K spend over 3 months (via snail mail). The offer does NOT have the "lifetime restriction" language stating that you can't get the offer if you've had the card before. However, I've already GOT an AMEX Bus Plat. But, research shows that if you've got one of these targeted offers, you CAN get the offer...even if you have a current card. Yes, you can have 2 AMEX Bus Plat cards at one time. I just got a couple Chase cards so I'm holding off until April (I've got til 4/13) to try to sign up so I can complete the spending on the Chase cards first. I also saw this list which apparently looks like it might work in my AMEX acct...so I'll check into it at the end of March. It gives you an extra 10K points with a $1K spend by an AU... https://dannydealguru.com/amex-business-platinum-160k-offer/
  11. Few understand this They didn't get the memo...
  12. https://ifunny.co/video/ukrainian-stay-strong-by-rave-invade-us-if-you-are-y1YOV8rL9?s=cl
  13. True. It's the last place that satellites would look.
  14. I saw Abramovich's jet and yacht in St Martin. He's got some REALLY nice shit he's about to lose. And you can't just "hide" a $500 million dollar yacht.
  15. Meh...when I lived out in Weatherford, west of Ft Worth, there were some places out there where you could have a 5K sqft house on 3 acres for around a million. Have to live 40 min from downtown Ft Worth though.
  16. I said I was a Cardinals fan. I didn't say I liked St Louis. Other than the Arch (which is cool to go up in), that city sucks.
  17. I did something like that to get my trip to NYC back in 2020 (right before covid). No way you could get that hotel for that price, plus the freebies, AND you're already going that way. And it's easy to tell them NO at the end of the pitch. I did one of those about 10 years ago and the guy looked at me right as he started and said if I was just going to say no then let's just get it over with. I was done in 15 min.
  18. Well, Texas IS the best, bar none. And I didn't live in the US until I was 10 - grew up in Europe and Asia. And I've traveled all over the world. As a Cardinals fan, I wholeheartedly agree. Although I'd love to go to a home stand at Wrigley one day.
  19. Bettendorf or GTFO!
  20. Could be using WGS84
  21. Harlingen...
  22. Come on... The perfect chain for the RGV is On The Border...
  23. Well...at first glance, it appears I got the Chase cards (6 and 7 w/in 24 months) AND the bonus according to my iPhone Chase app. It has my cards in there along with a section showing how much spending I've done towards the $5K for each card to earn the bonus. SWA card doesn't show the Companion pass as part of the 30K bonus but I figure that's just for brevity since the section is pretty small (at least I hope). As a side note, logging into my Chase acct on my MacBook does NOT show that section. So...my advice is to go look at all your accts that have Chase cards associated with them (SWA, United, BA, etc) and see if you have PRE-APPROVED offer for a card...because it seemed to work for me. NOTE: Neither of those 2 accts have the pre-approved offer anymore.
