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.

No kidding... Just in: Belgian author Tijl Nuyts wins literary prize for his book 'Grondwerk' about a colony of naked mole rats undermining Brussels.

@jon-nyc Up until this latest chaos in Middle East started I would say no the US does not hold the leverage it did a a year ago. Between Trump’s bluster and Wikoff’s incompetence the US has lost a lot of its previous leverage. From here on though and owing to the global economic fallout from the current crisis occupying Washington, there is no telling whether the initiative will pass back to the Kremlin.

Everybody told me that the city wasn’t as bright once I left…

And 1970’s environmental wet dreams didn’t motivate prior administrations…

We’re using an accountant and I am backing it up with a Turbo Tax audit…

Thanks. I was not aware at that level.

And yet I have no idea how he racked up 30,573 lies during his first term...

He apparently funded quite a bit of cancer research.
