    Far less so than I was expecting. A couple people cutting in line with sob stories. People were pretty calm though. Partly I think because it was expected (that changed my outlook considerably) and partly (I speculate) there was a little bit of ‘we’re all in this moment together’ spirit like you see during a big weather event or tragedy of some kind, though I don’t want to exaggerate that too much. The most stressful part was when the line was snaking through the front atrium. It didn’t look like a line, it looked like a crowd. The only thing that made it a line was everyone knowing who was in front of them and who was behind.

    Hey I've been yelling about it (in the Artemis thread) for a while now! Plus, what could go wrong launching on April Fool's Day? Also, I haven't checked but a while ago the various launch windows...there were only like 3 of the 60 windows that had a daytime launch and I think April 1 was one of them. People love the night time launch if you live in the area but if you don't (like all of us) a day time launch (IMO) is way cooler to watch on video.

    You know, I was watching the airport footage again. There are a full 8 whole seconds between when the firetruck began to cross the runway (and the truck/s behind it all stopped btw...) before the plane hit it. Yes the truck behind it completely stops (like they should at a stop sign), probably because they saw the plane. As much as they got the clearance to cross, this sure seems like it's 90% the fault of the firetruck driver for crossing without looking first for crossing traffic...the size of an airplane. https://www.reddit.com/r/airport/comments/1s1nhdm/air_canada_lga_crash_footage/

    I did a quick search of her. Surprisingly relatable. Mom of 3, catholic, wife of Army veteran, and leads a local chapter of a mom fitness group, which (with a wife of 3 kids and her finding it hard to find time to fit in fitness) I can say is a great freaking idea... workout with your kids, with other moms, and make friends. Anyway... yeah JWHT, can't blame him.

    The lack of enforcement of the bike regulations where I live has been a blessing for me in that. I have a totally illegal E bike for writing the streets and pathways as it is too big with power and I can go almost 40 mph on mine, but it is the most comfortable ride in the world and such a fun thing to ride and it’s on its way to Sardinia where out here the regulations or lack as well but it will just take a few few more kids getting themselves killed on these things for America to tighten up the enforcement. These Chinese manufacturers are getting better and better with her product and mine is probably the best Chinese E bike made for the money and they are called Freesky. I have the Alaska model which separates from the regular models and that it has two batteries to give me longer rides, but the Chinese have built into the controller, passwords of ass sort that open up the controller to allow maximum speed you have to physically punch in a code before you go on your ride so they maintain their legitimacy in America I guess.
