  1. For the record, I'm just posting Boeing pilot error fuckups. Airlines have pretty regular incidents like an engine flaring out - it's why there's such a stringent safety culture in aviation. To make it so there's one less variable when an emergency is happening. 

    But Boeing has broken and danced on the grave of that convention and professional standard. And people are dying for the sake of their shareholder gainz

  2. My wife and I both have ancestors that fought for Texas independence, her parents have a framed land grant signed by Anson fucking Jones of the Republic of Texas. We are talking and figuring out where we're gonna go. We don't know where, but we don't feel great about raising a daughter here

    It was definitely as bad as a hurricane, for about 15 minutes.   Of course when a hurricane hits you have days to prepare this fucker we knew about like 10 minutes ahead of time. 

    It's nuts, I was walking my dog at 530 and it was sunny and nice but a little humid and then fast forward an hour and it was the fucking end of the world

    I’ve had about enough of you. This is your last warning. 

    It's something else to read the early posts of the DT thread about the shooting - it's the exact same fucking rhetoric from the same shitty right wing posters cheering on protesters being brutalized by DPS. Now, it's a state policy that protesters have no rights and can be killed without penalty - fatty is just overjoyed with his policy win

    Any reports on how Gessner area just north of I10 fared?

    That's my neck of the woods, there were a bunch of businesses and buildings that were completely ruined with the roof pulled off. My FIL's office is near there on the other side of BW8 and his office had their giant steel rolling doors pushed in, and the resulting low pressure spike in the building gutted the drop ceiling and HVAC system

    You don’t think Mrs. Alito is justice Alitos wife? Or are you insinuating he did the flag thing himself. 

    I believe he's insinuating that alito either put the flag up or directed his wife to put it up. Which given the mealy mouthed excuse given by alito seems not unlikely

  7. Quotes from the man who was just pardoned for shooting a protester: 

    "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters" 

    "to [sic] bad we can't get paid for hunting Muslims in Europe."

    "It is official I am a racist because I do not agree with people acting like animals at the zoo. I was on the side of the protestors until they started with the looting and the violence”

     "black lives matter movement to a zoo full of monkeys that are freaking out flinging their sh*t."

     See this text exchange

     

    Not to mention he was pursuing minors online… a pedo to boot! What a very fine person to get a pardon

    Holy shit, just catching up on the Masked Intruder and his SCARY THREATENING NOTE that was exactly like one of those subtle mafioso threats you see in the movies and is probably exactly how real life college aged protesters work. 

    Anyway, a big thanks to all you paranoid dorks for the lulz this morning. 

    It's one of those funny contradictions where the protesters are simultaneously weak and feeble, but also a dangerous threat

    Holy shit, 3 mins of them going: "wow, thats a cool fire in the wheelwell on a plane with people in it. its like 2 foot above my head but fuck it, its not my job to put out a fire"

    Turns out, when you're paying bottom dollar prices for your labor, you get bottom dollar effort. It's certainly been the case for Boeing, I don't see why airlines wouldn't be similarly effected
