    Thanks for sharing. I just recorded the Discovery Channel documentary about what happened but haven't watched it yet. I am looking forward to hearing some details and insights not already known. Living in that area for a while, I would watch the planes and helicopters daily. The routes were...well, routine. Of course in hindsight, a route that crosses the landing path for airplanes (at night) should've been treated with so much more risk appreciation than "do you see that jet out there?" and "yeah I see it" (wrong jet, most likely).

    Article is interesting, but I think that @89th makes some good (and funny) points.

    Linked the paywalled article, and cut out the juiciest bit that confirms his biases most.

    @89th said in Cincinnati chili has snowflakes too.: Also, that dude in the video is probably someone who would start talking about the merits of the tour de france while I'm trying to watch a ballgame. You say that like it's a bad thing.

    Just found out that the backup “guest teacher astronaut” to McCauliff and watched from the ground as her colleague ended up perishing in the Challenger, later was selected to be an astronaut on Columbia for a 2004 launch and in 2003 was in the chase jet meant to rendezvous with Colombia as it landed, of course it never landed. That is wild. Eventually, she went up in the Endeavor shuttle… i’d have to imagine her crew mates were not believers in bad luck.

    I don't know either but doubt they would get press credentials.

    Large projects are a lot easier when you have slave labor. Still, it's good to see the Saudis planning for economic viability post-petroleum. Unless there's a huge expansion in the need for sand it's their only natural resource.

    I blame the lesbians. God fucking hates ‘em. You’d think he’d have more important stuff to think about, but no. It’s lesbians all day long. That’s why he watches all those movies presumably.

    She'll probably win. The left doesn't like her as much as you'd think since she's a bit wishy-washy-Washington. I do remember seeing her on a flight once, and she didn't seem that wishy washy. Anyway... as long as the pillow cocaine con man doesn't get close to that office, I'm fine.

    Well this makes sense. He doesn’t want to lower prices, he wants them nice and high. Good policy choice then. https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/2016994260327842125?s=46

    From what I have read, Warsh appears to be qualified for the job. Hasset too, but he’s a brown nosing jerk off.
