Showed this to Ms. Klaus and she donated to their GoFundMe.

Looking like an intentional massacre/suicide by the pilot.

@jon-nyc Growing old has its drawbacks, although my father lived to 91 with the same condition. It didn’t kill him, at least directly it didn’t, although it eventually contributed to a tendency towards open sores and infections on his shins. It was the repeated infections that took their toll and wore him down.

We could probably incorporate as a social issue think tank and apply for grants. That would be a hoot.

Except I wasn’t referring to any specific case, just like I wasn’t talking about any specific M13 gang member. I was speaking generally about prioritization.

@89th said in This is disturbing: @Horace said in This is disturbing: On a scale of 1 to 7.3, how concerned are you, True story, yesterday I almost replied to this post asking why you could be so insensitive to have the rating scale max out at a 7.3, out of respect for earthquakes of that magnitude such as Vanuatu last year. And this morning Alaska gets a 7.3 magnitude earthquake, tsunami warnings and all. Sorry about that. Didn't know my own power. But in the words of Louis CK, accidentally causing a huge catastrophe is a small price to pay for the realization that you have the power to cause huge catastrophes whenever you want. It's pretty awesome.

Lol He founded the Guardian Angels. I don’t know much else about him other then that he’s run before.

@AndyD said in 9 years ago today: Here's to the next 9. Do you know who the donor was? Is it all anonymous like the UK? It’s anonymous but you can write to an organization that will forward a letter to the donor family. Then if they choose they can contact you (presumably if you give them your contact info in the letter).

Watched a few movies recently. Falling Down (late 80s?) with Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall. Enjoyable, I learned about it from seeing various clips about a normal person freaking out after a stressful day. Fun movie. Philomena. I remembered the Oscar buzz around this one, with Steve Coogan and Judy Dench. I enjoyed this one a lot, it’s not terribly long, but a very well written, paced, and resolved story. Nothing crazy but worth it for Dench’s performance alone.

I know a lot a of good looking women, and none of them would say he was good looking unless he was rich. Just saying.

His apathy is much appreciated.

Whew. That’s a close call. History knowledge can save a man.

I have a friend of a friend who (10-15 years ago) started a company that basically applied machine learning, neural networks, and algorithms to stock trading. I truly don't know any other details other than he's quite rich.

Not unless they want to get sued. All most places will give is employment dates.

Have a lifelong friend who was a US Air flight attendant. Funny, when they merged or were bought out by American their pension fund was significantly reduced.

Mainly due to the dollar plummeting no doubt.

We really don't have a lot of details about the situation. I can imagine the idea of taking scores of young girls out in a blinding rain storm in the middle of the night doesn't sound like such a great idea - and we don't know what it would have taken to get them to higher ground. I did read that the head of the camp was in favor of a better warning system - but lacking that one would have thought of a plan B as LuFin has suggested.
