during school days.

Literally, the first sentence. So, no. Not even the first school to ban cell phone use during the school day.

Well, Airbus was victim to the fraud as well. The supplier created fake documentation. Both Boeing, Spirit and Airbus have all said the tested the discrepant metal and it was the correct alloy it conformed to standards. This isn’t the first time fraudulent parts have infected aviation supply, and likely won’t be the last.

JamesTBagg ,

What? Read the article? Are you fucking crazy?

JamesTBagg ,

You’re right but wrong about how comfortable flying used to be.
Flying used to be heavily regulated and was heavily subsidized by air mail contracts. Aircraft were roomier and much more comfortable. After some trust and monopoly busting, and deregulation, the loss of air mail contracts, then share holders took more control.
Then over the years prices have declined, leg room has declined, comfort has declined, passengers are now treated like sardines, being flight crew used to be a glamorous, sought-after job. We still romanticize PanAm. Now AA attendants are looking to strike because they’re making poverty wages.
You can find stories of nightmare passengers and crews from all over the world if you look, but Americans are going to hear American news. I studied aeronautics and aviation in college. Hard to explain more from my phone while I’m pooping, but yes, flying used to be a MUCH better experience for all involved.

They know, their comment was sarcastic.

What do US politicians have to do with Iceland issuing the permits to an Icelandic company?

JamesTBagg ,

I hate the Cybertruck as much as the next guy, but this could really boil down to just tire choice and nothing more.

JamesTBagg ,

The average age of my vehicles is 23.8 years. If I remove the motorcycles the average age is 36 years, the oldest is 54. Am I winning? I just don’t like new cars.

How does Dune reference something that doesn’t yet exist?

JamesTBagg ,

Bro…

JamesTBagg ,

For extra yolk-y mess to dip my toast in.

JamesTBagg ,

Their fries just fucking get me. They carry the meal. I don’t eat McD’s often but the fries always deliver the exact disappointment I’m expecting and I eat every single one.

JamesTBagg ,

I believe you’re thinking of in-n-out.

JamesTBagg ,

Or, this sounds like tactical planning in case of an invasion, to prevent access of valuable resources to the invaders. Making it “need to know” makes perfect sense.

JamesTBagg ,

But for most people it’s too many calories, not enough activity.

JamesTBagg ,

That’s the real point. This will have no impact on violence, let alone make a dent. It’s about the controlling class disarming the working class. If only Marx had said something about this.

Study reveals "widespread, bipartisan aversion" to neighbors owning AR-15 rifles (www.psypost.org)

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that across all political and social groups in the United States, there is a strong preference against living near AR-15 rifle owners and neighbors who store guns outside of locked safes. This surprising consensus suggests that when it comes...

JamesTBagg ,

Why are you assuming to know who their opponents are? I’m pretty socialist leaning (union steward like, convince my friends to read the Communist Manifeso like) I own a handful of guns. I know my “opponents” are likely armed.
The Socialist Rifle Association is assuming their opponents will be armed.

JamesTBagg ,

Someone else from the old internet. I remember the post you speak of.

JamesTBagg ,

Darn Tough socks naming is a little better now that I know this.

JamesTBagg ,

Because back in my (our) day Pluto was number, so Planet X worked. Planet VIIII doesn’t look as good.

JamesTBagg ,

Yeah yeah. Same same.

JamesTBagg ,

I don’t know if I agree with your judgment. I’m going to need to see more evidence.

JamesTBagg ,

No, like I want to see her boobs.

Israel media: Netanyahu fears arrest warrants, requests assistance from UK, Germany (www.middleeastmonitor.com)

Israel’s Channel 12 revealed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fears that the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague will issue orders to arrest him and other officials due to violations in the war on Gaza....

What’s that line from Liar Liar? “STOP BREAKING THE LAW, ASSHOLE!”

JamesTBagg ,

I simply cannot get revanced to even download to my phone, and I’m not smart enough to troubleshoot it.

JamesTBagg ,

The Colt Single Action Army is likely one of the most iconic pistols in the US, “The gun that won the west.” You’ve seen them in many movies without realizing it.
The term you’re looking for his “single action” or sometimes “cowboy action” though that will also include lever action rifles and shotguns, and break actions as well.
Single Action is defined by the trigger having the single function of releasing the hammer (you thumb and cocks the hammer which rotates the cylinder separately). Double action trigger pull will rotate the cylinder and cycle the hammer.

JamesTBagg ,

I think you’re missing the hyperbole in their statement. They’re suggesting they’re both misguided ideas.
We could also argue, but the 2nd Amendment protects the 1st.

JamesTBagg ,

1st, yes, single-action revolvers are analogous to bolt action rifles. 2nd, no single actions are not considered semi-automatic. Single Action or double action refers specifically to the trigger function(s).
Semi-automatic or fully-automatic refers to functions after the hammer falls. Semi-autos automatically cock the hammer and load the next round, then waits for you to pull the trigger again. One trigger pull fires one round, and loads one round. Fully automatic will fire a round, cock the hammer, load the next round and automatically fire it, continuously until the trigger is released or source of ammo runs dry.
A semi-auto pistol can be single-action (see:1911) or double-action (see: M9).

It totally worked in Vietnam and Afghanistan. The militant forces were completely pacified.

JamesTBagg ,

That used to work. Tried that with Comcast a few months ago; they refused to match AT&T’s price for the same speeds. So I’m with AT&T now.

Outrage after US hunter who reportedly took wolf in bar and killed it only fined (www.theguardian.com)

A Wyoming hunter who reportedly ran over a gray wolf with a snowmobile, taped the creature’s mouth shut, took a picture with it inside a local bar and then shot it to death behind the tavern has ignited calls for stiffer penalties in such an egregious case of animal abuse....

JamesTBagg ,

No predatory animal is looking for a fair fight. Hell, if the fight is too fair the animal is likely to just choose different prey.

JamesTBagg ,

Hopefully not the Uvalde Cavalry Corps.

JamesTBagg ,

What makes it worse, those people almost never actually struggled. Otherwise they may have learned to suffer some empathy.

JamesTBagg ,

My first thought was, “this post brought to you by not mechanics.” Otherwise they’d recognize the superiority of hex and torx over Philips and especially flat. But then I realized this is, in fact, a very shit post.

JamesTBagg ,

And good bait at that. You’ve snagged us all.

JamesTBagg ,

Climate is an average, temperature is instant.

JamesTBagg ,

You should risk reading the article before you sound like you don’t know what you’re talking about.

JamesTBagg ,

No there’s not, the scan thats been used has cropped out the nudity, it’s in like the second paragraph,

Usage of the Lenna image in image processing began in June or July 1973 when an assistant professor named Alexander Sawchuck and a graduate student at the University of Southern California Signal and Image Processing Institute scanned a square portion of the centerfold image with a primitive drum scanner, omitting nudity present in the original image. They scanned it for a colleague’s conference paper, and after that, others began to use the image as well.

JamesTBagg ,

The article barely even touches want had been happening in Myanmar. The military coup, the rounding up and murder of civilians… but what about China!?

JamesTBagg ,

There were conspiracies the morning of. I asked if anyone at work had seen it, about 9 California time, they hadn’t but soon after seeing pictures and video some of these guys were calling for a conspiracy.
So I leaned into it. Yeah Republicans refuse to fund infrastructure maintenance, so the conspiracy is get shipping companies to ram dilapidated bridges so their insurances fund the rebuilds.

JamesTBagg ,

A Rolls will be my “I made it” car. Now to start playing the lotto.

People may criticize America World Police, and the American military spending and posturing, but this is a perfect opportunity to put it to good use. If Biden et al in Washington actually cared: financial and military aid to Isreal is frozen; they obviously don’t need it. Deploy a Marine Expeditionary Unit stocked with aid into the Mediterranean (maybe supplement with a Navy hospital ship, perhaps a carrier strike group in “support.” Speak softly and carry a big stick).
Declare that Marines will be providing aid to Gaza via amphibious landing and helicopter. Make it clear they’re sent in peace but should one Israeli bullet even graze a Marine or their equipment, the US will not have to kill 30,000 civilians to get to those responsible.
I’d bet a dollar Netanyahu (or any other world leader) would start behaving more prudently. And it would cost nothing: MEUs will be sailing regardless, Israeli aid will be transferred to Gaza aid, funds already earmarked will simply be redirected.

JamesTBagg ,

I don’t think he literally wants to, otherwise he could do it himself, but he’s certainly not doing much to prevent it

Maybe riding a motorcycle has made me hypersensitive to it, but it seems, yes. I see all of you and so many of you are on your cell phones while driving. It’s bad enough I’ve learned to spot you from a hundred yards behind; the subtle drift of your car, checking your speed with the brake pedal, you aren’t smooth in stop & go traffic.
It apparently is a challenge for a lot of you to stay off your phones, a-fucking-lot of you. So it looks like WisDOT is speaking to many of you like children, because many of your fellow drivers are acting like children, unable to prioritize operating their 3,000lbs+ machine safely over Instagram/tik tok/Twitter or whatever the fuck.

JamesTBagg ,

No it doesn’t. How does it prove Deckard is a replicant versus proving Tyrell Corps had become just that good at replicating life. In both Blade Runner movies to prove something was replicant they had to get electron microscope close to find printing on cells. Perhaps Rachael was just that human. Unless it was explained somewhere I missed.

JamesTBagg ,

Fear won’t stop me, if she enjoys it, I’m tongue punchin’ it.

JamesTBagg ,

You mean, quite literally what Saudi Arabia is asking for?

JamesTBagg ,

To be fair, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

1, Hamas is a political party, literally voted into power. Not all members would be militia.
B, Even if the man was of the militant arm, in full uniform and battle-rattle, killing a surrendered foe is murder and a war crime.

This coming from my experience as a Marine having acted in war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan, that were occupied by many civilians and combatants.
