    That’s CA/NY level full retard. Importing shitheads + apathy across moderate to conservative voters only leads to things like this. Another big factor is the average voter is willfully ignorant on candidates and policies - they’ll literally believe anything SM, an attack ad, etc. tells them, with zero effort put into actual verification of the information shoved down their throats. Truly heart breaking to watch this happen on a mass scale. We are repeating history like you read about.

    A Jonesborough man is at the center of an unusual Walmart controversy after allegedly spending three weeks posing as an employee despite never being hired. The 46-year-old reportedly wore a blue vest, carried a walkie-talkie, and spent his shifts giving customers brutally honest shopping advice. Things finally unraveled when a manager overheard him telling a customer, “Don’t buy that TV. We’ve had six of them come back this week.” The man allegedly told employees he wasn’t stealing anything and was actually providing better customer service than most of the staff.
  8. Haven’t seen the interview, sounds like Trump standard.
  9. I think you underestimate the disdain for Pete...they WILL impeach him again once they have control. The rumors are about the internal DNC concerns about the turmoil of multiple impeachments. Break Break...the other discussions we should have, Trumps's 60 minutes interview: 1. He discusses UAPs and the briefing from the F-22 pilots. When the reporter says there may be a secret organization keeping things from you, he responds "I don't know bu I am goign to find out right after this interview." 2. He may believe he is a Christian but he has little capacity for forgiveness. I won't ruin it...you should listen to his comments on forgiveness. Finally - In an interview yesterday he refused to endorse anyone to replace him, said he might not endorse.
  10. I have been following the updates on this crash, and the news that the CVR was found stands out. It will be interesting to see what the investigation makes of the weather and the flight path.
  11. I think it was intentional. If they impeached him, most likely the Senate would hold a very quick trial/no witnesses, and he would be quickly acquitted, and that’s that. Then for the Dems to impeach him again just a few months later would look worse than just impeaching him once when they have full control. This way they’re able to make whatever spectacle of the situation they want in the House and the Senate for the trial. All knowing that most likely he’ll still be acquired. BL: It’s all political theater
  12. Yesterday

  13. If Dems were serious, they should have showed up and voted. Measure needed 8 more votes, 11 Dems no showed. Is Rep Ansari calling those 11 Ds out or calling them personally and giving them the beak? The clown show continues.
  14. Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Arizona) is upset the vote to impeach Hegseth failed. Today she indicated that when the Dems take power they should revisit the issue AND not only impeach Hegseth again, but also investigate people down the chain at the Pentagon who carried out these orders. Fun times, good luck all still on active duty.

  16. Thanks SocialD. No one remembers the mishap (insert your favorite tragedy here) that never occurs. Because you did your job right the only thing people remember from your flight is the kid that wouldn't stop kicking their seat. As it should be.
  17. Late to the show. Sad situation all around. I landed in FLL about 25 min after this crash and the first heard about it was on the van ride to the hotel. I won't Monday morning QB them, but I will say that I took one look out the window and said no way am I willing to pick through that line. I asked for a deviation south and we ended up flying the west coast of Florida, all the way to the south tip, before turning due north to get back into FLL. I also padded the shit out of my bingo because any divert meant a huge deviation around this line to get a good divert. Despite it raining on final, it was a nice ride the entire way. I don't fuck with storms.
  18. Last week

  19. Found the CVR. Let's see if anything's on it
  20. Still here…
  21. Another thing, if the government gets pissed a contractor through say CPARS (government report card on the contractor) on a certain program, they have the authority to negatively affect the contractor on other programs.
  22. Gotcha, little by little my hope that most government bureaucracy can become something more than a jobs program is destroyed What keeps the PMs attached to Waterfall vs Agile? The legal process and reporting requirements / milestone definitions or just intellectual inertia? This mess is just a self inflicted wound, our allies already had existing programs (M-346, T-50, etc…) we cut have just cut n pasted.
  23. Pretty wild. Still not clear cut with the president obviously obstructing the judicial appointment process, but it's not necessarily hard to see these parliamentary actions as globalist rebellions against the will of the people. Poland has done pretty well to buck against the EU, so I wonder how much the population is in favor of Tusk's position.
  24. Jeez...just start making T-37s and 38s again and call it a day.

    Please do, I'd be interested to hear how it goes. I'm currently looking at a bufferless folding AR with an 8" barrel, but even that would probably have a bit of trouble fitting under the seat.
  26. And, to through even more gasoline on this dumpster fire, there is now a PM tool called Jira that a lot of USAF cyber acquisition organizations are using... Jira is a popular project management and issue-tracking platform developed by Atlassian. It is widely used by software development teams, IT departments, and increasingly by business and operations teams to plan, track, and manage work. What Jira Does Jira allows teams to: Track tasks and action items Manage projects and workflows Plan and monitor work across teams Report progress and performance Coordinate agile development (Scrum and Kanban) Common Jira Terms Term Meaning Epic A large body of work or major objective Story A user requirement or capability Task A specific piece of work Bug A defect or problem to be fixed Sprint A fixed period of work, typically 1-4 weeks Backlog Prioritized list of future work Kanban Board Visual workflow board showing work status Example A state military headquarters implementing a new personnel system might organize work as: Epic: Deploy Personnel Readiness System Stories: Members can update contact information Leaders can view readiness metrics Administrators can manage user accounts Tasks: Create database Configure authentication Conduct security testing Train users Why Organizations Use Jira Jira provides: Visibility into who is doing what Accountability for tasks and deadlines Workflow automation Dashboards and reporting Integration with tools such as Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, GitHub, Azure DevOps, and Confluence Simple Analogy If you think in military staff terms: Project = Hurricane Response Modernization Epic = Personnel Accountability Stories = Muster capability, reporting capability, alerting capability Tasks = Individual actions assigned to specific staff members In one sentence: Jira is a work management and issue-tracking system that helps organizations plan, assign, track, and report on projects and tasks from start to finish. We can now return to our regularly scheduled discussion about pilot training...
  27. This might help if there is a next time (or for anyone else that's interested)... Waterfall (top row): The product is built piece by piece—first wheels, then an axle, then a partial vehicle—until the final car appears at the end. Each step delivers components, but no usable vehicle exists until the very end. Agile (middle row): Each stage produces a usable solution, starting with a skateboard, then a scooter, then a bicycle, then a motorcycle, and finally a car. The product evolves while delivering functional value at every step, even if it is not the final form. AI (bottom row): The first version already looks like a strange but complete “car‑like” solution, and subsequent iterations are refinements that steadily improve it. This implies rapid generation of a complete but imperfect solution, followed by iterative optimization. What it represents conceptually The image represents different development mindsets and value‑delivery models: Waterfall: Sequential, linear process Long time before the user gets value High risk if requirements change late Agile: Iterative and incremental Continuous user value and feedback Adaptable to changing requirements AI‑enabled development: Immediate generation of a working solution Nonlinear progress (big jump early, refinement later) Emphasizes speed, experimentation, and augmentation of human effort The core message The image argues that how you deliver value matters as much as what you deliver. Waterfall delays value, Agile delivers value early and often, and AI compresses timelines by producing usable solutions almost immediately—even if they need refinement. It is often used to provoke discussion about modern software development, innovation speed, organizational change, and decision‑making models, especially in leadership or technology contexts.
