    Could Boeing build a system that would recognize this and rescue the plane? Sure, they probably already have. Would it be foolproof? No.

    @Axtremus said in Happy days are here again.: Also see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemline_index The hemline index is a theory that suggests that skirt length (hemlines) rise or fall along with stock prices. The most common version of the theory is that skirt lengths get shorter in good economic times (1920s, 1960s)[1] and longer in bad, … But…chicken or egg? Non-peer-reviewed research in 2010 supported the correlation, suggesting that "the economic cycle leads the hemline with about three years" So, the economy was pretty good in 2019, and now 3 years later hems go up?

    @taiwan_girl said in An open letter to Sir Paul: I wonder how much control the singer has over ticket prices. Do they really have a say in it? Yes. They can dictate the prices in fact, since they have the authority to do the concert or not. If they dictate too low a price, they might not be able to pull the concert together, but I’m sure it would be possible to hold the concert profitably for all involved parties, for a much lower price. Actually there is probably only a small number of people whose compensation is related to ticket price, McCartney among them.

    @Jolly said in American Thinker du jour - Diversity Edition: @Doctor-Phibes said in American Thinker du jour - Diversity Edition: @Jolly said in American Thinker du jour - Diversity Edition: Melting Pot. It works. But it takes time. There was plenty of racial and ethnic tension and hatred when previous diverse cultures such as Irish, Italians and Chinese came into the US. People don't just arrive and become Americans overnight, whatever it says on their papers. Sure, it takes time. If you don't let it work, it takes eternity. Yeah … The Colonial era immigrants from Europe did not bother to integrate with the native Americas who were there, instead they killed and displaced most of the native Americans, so that’s one example of not letting it work. The slaver importers and slave owners also largely worked hard at segregating the imported slave immigrants, that’s also an example of not letting it work. Most other immigrants who did not attempt to kill or displace the natives en mass and are not being prevented from integration by the then-dominant natives mostly “let it work” and progressing towards “melting pot” integration just fine.

    To have an attack, he'd first need to have a heart. Also, that flag's all wrong, the background colour looks black, and the diagonal crosses aren't supposed to be in the middle of the white. Also, there's some kind of expletive at the bottom of the shirt which seems a bit out of place.

    Dont know if it is still the same, but after COVID started, anybody (absolutely anybody) who wanted to see him in person had to isolate for two weeks prior to the meetings. Even if they had negative tests, etc etc

    Dennis Allen thinks he's funnin'. But the interest around the league was amazing. Even if, God Bless his heart, he can't throw a 25-yard seam or a deep out anymore.

    Dislike for her is useless unless it is bigger than the dislike for the president.
