  1. If walls don't work, how comes is it that so many liberals live in gated communities or in homes with large fences and walls?
  2. Flea, at AA, vacation time increases the longer you are with the airline and tops out at 31 days. The vacation bidding system sucks but allegedly is going to change. You also manipulate the system with PVD (Personal Vacation Days) and trip drops to build time off. Lots of ways to skin the cat to build a window to travel. As far as travel goes, if you can tolerate dealing with the unknowns and frustrations of flying standby, you can easily go places. Over the last year, the wife and I have gone to Ireland and Spain for 5 day visits. For longer layovers, the wife has flown standby with me to Paris, Santiago, and Hawaii. Lots of options on places to go but passenger loads can sometimes be unpredictable.
  3. I've been out for a while, wtf is green dot?
  4. Animatronic animal trainers are in high demand.
  5. If Wikipedia can be believed, 328 girls have been named Abcde between 1990 and 2014. She can change her name but her parent(s) is/are stupid and you can't fix stupid.
  6. Ah yes, the convertible mod. Perfect for those VFR sunny days whilst out sending jihadists VFR direct to Allah. Just make everything is strapped down before releasing the brakes.
  7. Justice Ginsberg is back in the hospital. Democrats are powering up the defibrillator, the machine that goes "bing" and whatever else they think they might need to keep her from flat lining. If she kicks the bucket, can the Democrats kick up the toddler tantrum a notch or are they out of notches?
  8. Это смешно прямо там, мне все равно, кто ты.
  9. Put them on a stick or train type round table out in the open and let them weathervane. Might need a screen for airborne debris. Not perfect but might minimize damage.
  10. The Tyndall forecast is for @ 130mph winds. Ba-reezy.
  11. Imagine the wailing that is going to occur when Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg is replaced. I'm sure Democrats have a "Weekend at Buzzy's" type plan to maintain her seat as long as possible.
  12. This is such a load of horse crap. The Democrats have flung this crap at the wall and are hoping something sticks. If K is innocent, he goes on the Supreme Court. If he is guilty, he not only no longer goes onto the Supreme Court and he loses he DC Circuit Court job which would be like be convicted. So, let's treat this like a criminal case because everyone is innocent until proven guilty under our system of justice. Okay, the FBI isn't a player since it would not be a federal case since it was not on federal property and nobody was a federal employee. The FBI investigated the Anita Hill accusations because of it was federal jurisdiction. They found nothing but Democrats still accuse and call Clarence Thomas a sexual predator. Anything that might have happened would be under the jurisdiction of the Maryland police. Well, the statute of limitations has expired, so they won't take it. Well, since the accusation was made by a woman and therefore must be heard no matter how sparse of facts, let's throw this in front of the circus that the Senate has become. The idiot Ford can't remember where, when, or who and nobody will back up here story. Doesn't matter, she is a woman sparse of facts and must be heard. She has demanded that K can't be in the room. Fine. She has demanded that she can't be questioned by K's lawyers. Well, that will get us nowhere since the Democrat Senate morons will just do more grandstanding in search of a Spartacus moment. Whatever happened to confront your accuser as guaranteed by our system of justice? She has demanded that K must testify first. How in the hell do you defend yourself if you have no idea what "facts" your accuser is going to use and thus be able to refute them. In no court is this miscarriage of justice allowed. Democrats are trying to run out the clock hoping to take the Senate in November. Screw them. Treat this like a grand jury hearing but the accused is allowed to give testimony in his defense. Give her the opportunity to testify under oath, K is already under oath, and if more information is brought forward that lends credence to further investigation that would torpedo K's career, investigate that information or dump K. If all Ford has is the current load of BS, vote K out of committee and put it on the Senate floor.
  13. I think the managed diversity thing has been tried before. "Special consideration should be given to women and minorities for possible past discrimination" is a direct quote of a directive given to promotion boards in the mid-90s. The subsequent lawsuits signaled it was a bad idea.
  14. Liberals have only advanced their ideas through the courts. They lost state referendums along with 1000+ seats in state legislatures during the last administration. Losing the Supreme Court balance dooms their agenda and they know it and will do absolutely anything to stop this nomination.
  15. There was a Reservist who flew #4 as Slot. They got the new F-16 allowing a loop immediately after takeoff using AB to get over the top. He tucked into the slot after takeoff as usual and got his vertical tail cooked by leads burner plume causing all sorts of damage. He didn't know this until after the show. I can't recall him saying where this occurred.
  16. Do they maintain ejection seats on those things?
  17. Does Apple maps allow you to download maps? I do that with Google Maps when I'm going somewhere I think coverage will be iffy and it works nicely.
  18. I had an android but switched to an iPhone a couple years ago and recently just went back to an Samsung S9. Very easy to swap data as the phone came with a converter plug for the iPhone so data transferred easily plus I was mostly using Google apps. I hated the limited apple world. I've got Sprint and have been pretty happy with coverage, unlimited data domestically and internationally although the international data speeds can suck.
  19. This is a problem? https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7207106/oktoberfest-beer-festival-backlash-sex-clothes/
  20. Yeah, we want to here about this.
  21. Hugo Chavez, a man of the people, a believer in socialism, died worth billions. His sister is also worth billions. Odd how those that sell a concept certainly don't want to live under that concept.
  22. A longish read totaling up the body count in regards to socialism. If polls of millennials showing their acceptance of socialism are accurate, history is a poorly covered topic is school these days. https://www.newcriterion.com/blogs/dispatch/socialism-as-a-hate-crime-9746
  23. I flew the T-38 years ago before the mod and ACES II so I'm not familiar. Did they add a SEAT NOT ARMED warming light or did the pilot just have the arming lever?
  24. I've got this idea for a ceiling fan in my garage......
  25. The thought of an unfiltered wheat beer is slightly nauseating.
