Gotcha. Yeah that's fucking bonkers.

So I understand the argument against based on the risk of collateral damage, but from the perspective of the maneuver itself, are there many examples of "unjustified" PIT maneuvers? You're either running from the cops or you're not. That just sounds like the pinnacle of "win stupid prizes." Or are the Arkansas troopers ramming cars 60 seconds after turning on the lights?

I have a friend who is a YouTuber who makes nothing but a bunch of woman-hating incel videos. It's not quite like this, because it's literally him reacting to the videos with a soundboard and shit. Last I checked he was making about $40,000 a month doing it putting out a couple videos a day. The hilarious part is that he is an absolute beta in his marriage and is barely manly enough to put together an Ikea couch. But because everything on the internet is fake he has thousands and thousands of lonely men who watch his videos everyday and hold him up as some sort of alpha hero. 🤣😂 He knows it's going to all come crashing down one day, but he's making an absolute killing doing it right now and I have always appreciated a good hustle.

We have some Navy dork at AA who was going around on his own volition and calling MLOA guys to harass them about their leave. Kept doing it until he was threatened by the union to stop or they'd report it to the company. Some guys just aren't happy unless they're unhappy.

You are *way* behind me in line 🤣😂

Is she dinosaur bait? I think Republicans need to give up on tough-talking women. I'll take the soft spoken Condoleezza Rice and Amy Coney Barrett over Sarah Palin, Marjorie Taylor green, Lauren Bogart, Christy noam, or Kari Lake

Leave the kids alone. If the boomers hadn't raped every institution and convention for their own advantage, all the while incinerating the housing market, suppressing interest rates, saddling every 22 year old with crippling debt, and inventing "too big to fail," maybe the younger generation wouldn't look toward something different. The American Dream was raped by the generation that cried out for free-love and no war until they got in power to give us a corporatist government and endless wars. Now they don't like that their kids are skeptical of their promises. No small wonder. Socialism is a nightmare, but you have to be blind to think this is just about lazy young adults. 😂

Yeah while it's an interesting conversation in an academic sense, the simple reality is that the people who view flying as an unfortunate necessity and impediment to ladder climbing are not going to do anything but the bare minimum to train and keep pilots trained. The bare minimum will be discovered by gradually reducing flying experience until too many planes crash to ignore the problem.

I will be completely stunned if anything in the report suggests an alternative outcome. It's hard enough to deal with an engine failure during takeoff, but when the engine completely explodes, to expect someone to analyze that in seconds is already a heavy lift. It's what we're trained to do, but that doesn't mean it's easy. But to then have to analyze a second engine starting to fail? No way. And all for what? Based on where the plane was on the runway in the videos we've seen, there was no stopping, and there was no going. At that point you're just arguing over where to put the fireball. I sincerely hope for the sake of the maintainers who were working on that engine over the past couple months that they too are the victims of Fate, and not something that's going to make them feel like murderers for the rest of their lives.

It's more likely that he was here under a different username. That seems to be another Hallmark of his type. They say enough stupid things they no longer want to be associated with, so they hit the reset button. It's ironic, because they just end up posting the same stupid shit anyways. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wait a sec, did you find some posts from people here supporting the removal of the filibuster? Or are you just doing that stupid thing where you assume everybody agrees with every Donald Trump quote?

Okie doke, I can now say definitively that anyone here who has been shooting at paper or cardboard at the range needs to invest in some steel targets. These things were an absolute hoot. Especially for CCW practice, the instant feedback changes the way you train. I know a lot of you know this, and I did too, but for whatever reason I just never considered buying my own steel targets. And if you're looking for a dueling tree, the one I linked above is *fantastic.* I think we'll get a Texas Star next to add to the challenge.

You can see what looks like compressor stalls on the number 2 engine right at the beginning of the video. Number 1 exploded and FOD'd out the tail engine, which explains the lack of climb. 180k lbs of fuel. There was nothing the crew could do. So fucking sad.

Guys... First rule of not falling for internet nonsense. Always ask why the camera was rolling recording in the first place, and who was doing the recording. Within the first 3 seconds of the video there are onlookers shouting, a horn blaring, and a vehicle accelerating into another vehicle. Whatever led up to this video, it wasn't just a woman driving to work when an ice vehicle just smashed into her car and arrested her. Also, am I the only person who would just get out of the car if a mini SWAT team surrounded my vehicle?

I heard he bit Hitler's penis.
