There used to be no bag fees until what... 2008 when fuel prices soared? That's when carrying on, it seems, began to be a "how much can I bring on board?" contest.

I mentioned Ripsaw the other day. Helluva lot cheaper, faster, does the same thing.

According to the Wiki entry it is also used to descale boilers and car radiators. Versatile,eh? The magic of chemistry.

Secondly, DOT is requiring airlines and ticket agents to tell consumers upfront what fees they charge for checked bags, a carry-on bag, for changing a reservation, or cancelling a reservation. This ensures that consumers can avoid surprise fees when they purchase tickets from airlines or ticket agents, including both brick-and-mortar travel agencies or online travel agencies. We talked about this a while ago about concert tickets, AirBnB, etc. It should be universal. The price for the ticket should include everthing.

@George-K said in Charges brought in Arizona for 2020 election fraud: It's the Chicago way. I think that is politics in general. 555 Promise voters/reward voters so that they vote for you.

There was a guy (in CHicago I think), that didnt like people who drove around distracted on their phones. So, he had a cell phone jammer in his car and when he drove around, it disrupted cell phones with a certain radius. I believe he used it on the expressways. He got caught becuase it also interfered with police communications. EDIT: This isnt the story I was thinking of, but it is similar. https://lawandcrime.com/crazy/man-charged-for-using-cellphone-jammer-to-get-peace-and-quiet-during-train-commute/ A man in search of some peace and quiet on his commute home is now facing one felony count of unlawful interference with a public utility. Dennis Nicholl, a 63-year-old Chicago man, was arrested after undercover police officers boarded a Red Line train and spotted him with a cellphone jammer amidst reports of disrupted communication by the Chicago Transit Authority and its passengers.

Coyotes are breeding or hunting. If you heard a pack, they're hunting. We shoot them on sight, day or night.

Bad thread title, IMO. That was a very clear and intentional suicide.

Just asked her about that “procedure”. Her answer was: “Oh yeah, unfortunately lot’s like that. They come to our hospital after the surgeons have finished with them. Our radiation oncologists just don’t call it by that name”.

@Jolly said in Jamie Speaks: They used to be. We had too much money dumped into the system and took much debt. Only way to address the debt is through higher taxes and inflation. Truth. Especially since no one seems to be interested in seriously cutting spending.
