$70,000 per flight hour

That's more than I used to make in a month.

Even Food and Wine gotta flex their wokeness.

Promising.

This should make Ted Cruz happy. He was very worried about the wellbeing of the people in the detention centers.

Y'all quit picking on Ax.

Bengals just signed Thaddeus Moss off waivers from Washington. Burrow's go to tight end at LSU and the great Randy Moss' son.

Good move I think.

Guy has good hands and route running ability. He's an adequate blocker.

He's a little slow and doesn't create enough separation at the pro level. He'll never be a Number 1. Number 2, if he plays lights out.

What I thought as well. I'm not necessarily opposed to the program as long as we pay them the going rate for day care workers.

Did this asshat really think that he'd get away with this?

Said asshat was killed by law enforcement soon after the incident. Won't bring back officer Jarrotts, but some amount of justice was served.

Also found another article with a bit more details and analysis of what went down: https://www.veteranstoday.com/2021/04/12/a-bad-day-for-a-cop-and-his-perpetrator-officer-darian-jarrott/

Compared to Chinese banks?

Kindly elaborate.

I wonder how we will destroy them.

@horace said in Let's get serious:

Definitely not pan. Pan pizza is just a stomach bomb.

I like a thinner chewy crust, a savory sauce, onions, mushrooms.

I make a pan pizza crust that is light and crispy. We just had some tonight for dinner.

It’s being taught in schools, now. Every single year the numbers will shift.

You, sir, are right.

And an addendum...

Look at girls and boys in K-12 and college...At one time, it was evident to all that girls were behind in K-12, especially in STEM oriented classes. In college, men outpaced women in earning college degrees.

So, what did we do? We put a lot of emphasis on bringing girls up to speed and we even changed the way we taught public school courses in order to make up ground. We started to really push higher education to young women and now they earn more college degrees than men.

We did this through a concerted effort to change the way people view things, starting in the schools and touted by the media. Nothing wrong with that, but we've hammered that viewpoint, even with outdated facts, and now we have a problem with boys and men.

That's not to say the two problems are equivalent, but I think it does speak to what can happen when both educators and MSM really buy in to a belief set. They can, and will, change the course of society.

@klaus said in Hey Klaus!:

I don't like him. He's the kind of politician whose opinion is determined and changed by opinion polls. An opportunist whose main goal is power and few original thoughts.

He’s also Bavarian, so there’s that...

@jolly said in The Doctor's Bag:

He said that when you could see how a patient lived and what they ate, it beat an office visit, anyday.

What they ate? What they ate? What was he, some kind of phreak?

Host your own videos, or find an alternative (e.g., look at https://duckduckgo.com/?q=alternative+video+hosting+sites+to+youtube&t=h_&ia=web )

Print your own newspaper, but you'll have to buy your own ink, which you have made. YOu'll also have to grow your own forest so you can get the pulp to make the paper you want to print it on.

Don't forget to set up your own distribution system...

@loki said in A Chinese Satellite?:

I guess it takes a while to get off the Russia Russia Russia addiction, you know that country that is a gas station posing as a country.

Given its size I would say that if it is a gas station it is one hell of big truck stop with a convenience shop that sells an large assortment of firearms to whoever walks through the door.

@george-k said in CNN Doesn’t Understand Vaccines — or Math:

29 percent of vaccinated adults believe it is safe to travel

How many believe it is safe to travel in democrat-run cities after dark?

F-22s live at Langley AFB now - about 15 miles east of here. A pair of them flew about 1,500 feet above my head maybe 6 or 8 times while was golfing this AM.

When I used to practice landings I rarely got more than 2 miles from the field. 15 miles from the field is a wide traffic pattern, but they are moving a lot faster than I was.

I think they were practicing landing at Langley. I like watching those things, the sound is terrific.
