  1. FWIW, this is the best pilot-centric forum I've found. It's all speculation so far... https://www.pprune.org/accidents-close-calls/666472-plane-crash-near-ahmedabad.html https://www.pprune.org/ If there's a better forum, I'd like to hear about it.
  2. Have you ever actually gotten a payout for something that happened when you were out on a bender? Insurance is "affordable", but only because it doesn't cover risky behaviors and predictable (and avoidable) hazards.
  3. 349,000 flights a year just into Swampy. That's about 3 planes every 5 minutes. Add in DMK and the outliers and it's 836K flights a year. That's about 1.5 flights per minute, 24/7/365.
  4. That needs to be plotted against Autism rates and the rates of other debilitating childhood diseases like obesity. I'm not claiming a causative correlation, but I'm glad we finally have someone who sees the problem and will look at the data. Next, the wingnuts (I'm one of them) need to track where the 17 retired members end up, and at what salaries. That'll probably 'splain a lot.
  5. I'm a country mouse by background (actually a product of the suburbs), but I fell in love with Bangkok during the 6 years I worked in Asoke. Warts and all, I love Bangkok. Especially (gasp) Chinatown, where there's never a dull moment. It's great to get out of the city for sanity breaks, and for that, I love Kanchanaburi and Jomtien. Contemplating a Thailand retirement, I'm debating between BKK, K-Buri and Hua Hin or Jomtien. Maybe rent a place in the city and another one outside. That was another surprise... I no longer feel the need for 3+ bedrooms and a yard.
  6. Here's another view of the "mostly peacefuls": From Saturday, when Bass and Newsom were claiming they had it under control. Edit: That's the 101, BTW. A major road that thousands depend on every hour to get through LA. Which affects interstate commerce. Not just LA and not just California. The entire country...
  7. Google: LA’s top cop blames masked professional ‘anarchists’ for chaos at ICE protests Then Google the definition of "professional".
  8. I'd bet $5 that it wouldn't cover whatever happened to this guy. And that's without a clue what happened in this case, outside of "he was out clubbing"..
  9. LBJ and JFK both did it. As I recall, neither LBJ nor JFK were reacting to actual violence. Just the threat. So it's fine when Dems do it, but not Trump? Edit: Just to be specific, JFK did it to desegregate University of Alabama. LBJ did it to protect a civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery. Neither one had permission from the guv'ner.
  10. If Newsom and Bass had acted in a timely manner, Trump wouldn't have had to call in the Guard and the Marines. Like LBJ did in Alabama, which made Gov. George Wallace bigly mad at him. But it's okay if Dems do it. Just not when Trump does.
  11. Who's looking for Boss? Not the cops. They've been paid. Not the family. They have, too. The only ones that seem to be interested in finding him are internet posters.
  12. Just like Barney... It would be irresponsible to send them in without the means to defend themselves.
  13. It wouldn't surprise me if they slapped him with a 30 year sentence in 2023 and he's a car dealer in Dubai in 2025.
  14. Chicks dig guys in hot cars, even when it's raining. Or, more accurately, chicks dig rides in hot cars, even if they couldn't give a rat about the guy driving.
  15. Neither did they mention what happened to Boy Unity, except that he'd been arrested in 2022. That could mean he's still in custody, or it could mean nothing.
  16. I think she's old enough that she may have even invented it. Speaking of Pelosi, I'm half expecting the Dems and the MSM to start throwing around her new buzzword. Exuberance. You know... Like they threw around "weird" and "safe and effective" and "most secure election ever".
  17. Sounds like saving the rider was an afterthought. After they saved the valuable stuff.
  18. You obviously don't understand strategic ambiguity.
  19. If he tried that in Newark, someone would carjack him.
  20. Gotta love the way they're hedging it. Typically associated with... It's more like a defining characteristic. Or at least it was from the time they discovered chromosomes.
  21. Dollars to donut holes, scratch to just below the surface and you'll find money from an e-scooter company.
