This makes me happy.

And as a result, all “No Kings” protests in Minnesota are cancelled. I guess it worked.

No problem since the police makes themselves look like military, so if it looks like a tank, it’s probs police, if it looks like a police car, it’s most likely security. If it looks like security, then I guess it’s going to be Jimbo with the lifted truck bought on credit. /s

Maybe if they did a better job at WWI?

Exactly my thoughts. Like, this should make the protest larger, not stop it. This is exactly what they are protesting against, is it not?

That’s what I meant. But it raises a question, can the Pentagon not afford to get catered food for when they call a bunch of people in to do overtime?

Nah, the resistance actively went and buried its head in the sand. They cancelled all the No Kings protests in Minnesota in response to this. WTF

To be honest, at least it’s India, it’s most likely so corrupt it’s impossible to cover up. The media had the passenger list before some of the relatives could be reached, and locals say someone probably slipped like $50 so that some people could learn their family died from the news.

It seems like it’s a national security issue to open a Dominos in the Pentagon I guess

No, but and old small Volvo hatchback can. What kind of roads do you have over there?

Or being on a VPN IP

OTOH, TACO

But not the genocide. They just don’t like Hamas hitting back

Only the big ones.

How great is it that not only does the internet depend on like 5 monopolistic companies, but they also depend on each other too.

Funnily enough, it just got proven that it is in fact useful again. You can buy a drone swarm and it can down AF1 even.

It just needs more brains to aim than an M16.

closet thing I did to that was a simulated rope break while instructing on gliders

Yeah same, except I had a bunch of actual rope breaks (faulty rope). It’s fucking harrowing.

Yeah, you summed up all my thoughts on the subject really great. It really feels that it would be better to have airports a bit further away from population centers, but I know it’s not always feasible.

At least at my local I can glide my little Piper down to the tulip fields, at least that’s what I keep telling myself. Doing it in an airliner… it must have been horrifying for the pilots.

Some people were saying, based on a video of the crash that it might have been mechanical, as they heard the sound of the RAT that only deploys on double engine failure.

Also, wouldn’t a bad config cause a full-on stall? It seemed more of a controlled glide to me.

Oh, yeah, totally. Fuck Boeing. That this is likely not Boeing’s fault does not mean that they are not rotten nevertheless.
