  1. Different words to make people feel better about exploiting humans for shit jobs.
  2. Probably. Along that line, it was interesting to see when KBR got the award for Djibouti many years ago and let go a few hundred locals that the locals effective blockaded any KBR vehicles from entering/exiting the base, forcing KBR to rehire them. Local PD did nothing. Another anecdote, one month in Salem, a few TCNs spent a few weeks busting concrete using two pieces of rebar, one to hold against the concrete, the other to hammer with. No formal tools, like a chain gang.
  3. Still won't fix anything for pilots there (or any airline really). Pilots need to make it happen, no one else is going to do it.
  4. Maybe thinking of 000 Buckshot, which I think has 8 pellets? Nah, senile and can't remember his talking points.
  5. 180+ day living location. Mess around with it at your tax penalty peril. I've heard of some in our biz try that, but I like freedom and I prefer the IRS chase rich douches rather than me.
  6. Highlights of the Alaskan TA. https://www.alpa.org/ala/-/media/ALA/files/pdf/QG92322.pdf Got a cuz over there, said it was a decent deal and nice that it has the snap-up. Side note, 1 thing I wish our MECs would change is put the TA our for membership reading, then we can let them know our thoughts before they vote for yea/nay on member ratification.
  7. But he just stands there. War zone right? Shot came from somewhere nearby maybe? No evasion? OK, this is kinda fun. I opened Goog translate to read the remarks on the tube vid link. ОФИГЕТЬ, pronounced Okhrenet' means Fuck in Russian. Ha!! Also, when he speaks on the radio, he says, "Bro, everything is fine." But the comments to the comments is a rabbit hole of back-forth Ukraine vs Russia internet bitchfest in their cultural dialog.
  8. The Incom T-65 Quad Rotor, one shot down the exhaust port and Russia blows up.
  9. Here's a comedian giving Herschel a roll of rubbers. https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1583144949260095488
  10. But maybe there are some that want to see The Rock in tights and being a meany. Oh wait, that's Pro Wrestling. When its on streaming for free, maybe I'll see it on a commute. Sometimes, all anyone wants is some good ol bashfest between supes cause they don't really get hurt, kinda like Pro Wrestling. So it'll be the WWF/WWE crowd will be in the theaters, and they don't read the SF Chronicle.

    Anyone try Schwab for checking and savings? I already have a brokerage account there and adding banking seems better than USAA. Website says the brokerage and checking link up. Says unlimited ATM fee refunds, free checks, billpay, etc. Basically everything USAA already has and better in some areas. Just asking if anyone has used them and any feedback. Thanks
  12. I gots plenty of family in health care. It was a government mandate via CDC requirements for health care facilities. Stop trying to dance around the facts. Quibbling flag thrown.
  13. But who is suffering, the Cowboy, the Calf, or the Horse? Oh, its Faceytwits that suffer. Sorry for asking.
  14. I was. It was either get the shot or go unemployed.
  15. Dear Awesome Aviator, Have you tried the line out/fill in flight orders trick and add yourself at brief time? It's a great way to get to know another pilot and they would love to be surprised. Also, said FGO may to trying to avoid embarrassment... of you, so be sure to nail those awesome maneuvers of yours. Best of luck and happy drunk posting. Ann Fucking Landers
  16. Wanna have some SF fun and make em cry? Rent one of these from Hertz. Introducing the The Shelby GT-H (H for Hertz). 500HP of 'Merican V8 power, sporting a Hertz custom Borla exhaust (sounds AWESOME), fat tires, big brakes, 10 speed auto tranny (so you can keep both hands of the wheel of this power monster). You can rent this in SFO. Now I will add that more fun is had if you go north and get into the winding roads. Every gallon of gas is a blast. So Much Fun! 0-60 in 3.9s, and I know, Tesla Plaid blah blah blah, but Tesla sounds like eh. This baby growls all the way, so they hear you coming... and going. Hertz is also making some custom 900+ HP supercharged Shelby GT500s for rent, but none for SFO.
  17. Don't know, ain't gonna try. Ask an oil field expert if you really want to know. You get an internet point. True. Just pointing out that more oil drilling capacity probably doesn't directly equate to lower prices at the pump.
  18. While oil production is a big factor, US refinery is the bottleneck. During 2017, 6 refineries closed. Probaly all tied to business decisions, not politics. 2020, 6 more, again probably business tied to covid drop in demand and closing older sites. They can pump all they want, but if it can't be refined, consumer prices don't change. Also, hurricanes. https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=8_NA_8O0_NUS_C&f=A
  19. Well, they got canceled. Some name changes might hide some bad rep (cough cough, looking at you Ft Hood). They seem to pick decent new names tho. Have fun with your renaming parties, Army. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/10/06/austin-orders-renaming-of-bases-honor-confederate-rebels.html The bases: Fort Polk, Louisiana, for example will be named after Sgt. William Johnson, a Black Medal of Honor recipient for valor during World War I. Fort Benning, Georgia, will be renamed Fort Moore in commemoration of Lt. Gen. Hal Moore, a famed cavalry officer depicted in "We Were Soldiers," and his wife, Julia Moore, who spurred the Army to create casualty notification teams. Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia, will honor Dr. Mary Walker, the only female Medal of Honor recipient for her actions treating the wounded during the Civil War. She was also a prisoner of war. The other bases with their planned new names are: Fort Bragg, North Carolina -- Fort Liberty Fort Gordon, Georgia -- Fort Eisenhower Fort Hood, Texas -- Fort Cavazos Fort Lee, Virginia -- Fort Gregg-Adams Fort Pickett, Virginia -- Fort Barfoot Fort Rucker, Alabama -- Fort Novosel
  20. Biden and the Prop Up Machine will play the 5 D's of debate defense, Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, Dodge. Any of the other D's running, all they have to do is call him chicken, and I hope other D's try as the nation deserves a better D candidate (I know, careful what I wish for). IF Biden gets the nom, then I fully expect Biden to be called chicken, scare-d-cat, yellow, coward, runs from a fight, spineless, etc. How can he face a world leader if he can't face a Pres challenger? Then there will be a full court press on his health. Biden is one trip and fall away from leaving office.
  21. You. Be sure to post links and other evidence. Spend a few hours, I need to be really well convinced. /Sarc/ No. Ain't gonna waste time trying. I still don't understand why you defend a dishonorable, no integrity, ass hat. It's actually quite easy. Reach into your brain, and flush... twice as I'm sure that turd will try to cling to the bowl. There. Done. Gone. Now find a new champion. Then do it man. Just drop him and all his bullshit. Find a better person to support. ----------------- Anyway, I've said my piece, and peace. Just so you know where I stand, and I hope others as well, is Trump is done, don't want to see him in govt ever again. Biden is medically senile and should be replaced but Harris is incompetent. The Biden prop up machine, Easter Bunny included, can't sustain this. Ever see dementia progress? He's probably had micro strokes. I'm waiting for the press conference where Biden drops his pants. Anyway, thanks for the volleyball. Out
  22. Com-prom-ised. Prove otherwise if you want to waste time and internet trons. I suppose, but I can't/don't care to try. Nowhere do I compare. I merely stated Trump is not the answer for Biden. There needs to be another. Plus if you read what I wrote, I state a different, better energy path, plan, policy, etc. than the current one is needed. Biden's handlers and guidedogs are bumbling along. This is kinda like the Afghanistan pull-out, no plan. All they do is gimmicks. Lastly, after Trump's behaviors and actions, I absolutely cannot comprehend the hard-on people still have for him. P.S. Biden on a campaign trail will probably end with him in a serious health crisis. His mental capabilities will be fully revealed. If in a debate, 1st question I'd ask him is 29 x 7 = ? Dems know this so he ain't running, no matter what they say. Too big a gamble. But it would be sad entertainment to see Biden fight against the DNC machine to try a run.
  23. No he's not. Hire me, or you, or tons of other more honorable people and any of them can say, fuck off with sprinkles on top. Trump would likely flip a bitch and call them him pals after they show him the Steele Pt 2 dossier or any other leverage. Dude is severely damaged and compromised. The only way out of this mess is to make more. So much more that OPEC looses its shirt, and shit. Then individual countries start splitting from OPEC limits cause they are losing. Then the pendulum swings the other way. US production can throttle back, or US govt takes the opportunity to refill the reserve and keep it full. To make more, US energy policy has to change. US oil/gas capability must increase. The swap to renewables/non-oil will take a 100 year grand strategic plan. Our govt can't even plan beyond a year.
