President Joe Biden is taking fresh steps to help keep gas prices from climbing. For Republicans to see this as “disgusting” and “disgraceful” is bizarre.
A Boeing 747-400 with 468 people aboard was forced to make an emergency landing in Indonesia on Wednesday after one of its engines caught fire and began shooting out flames during takeoff....
Every time a Boeing plane has issues these days people are quick with low effort “Boeing bad” posts. Maintenance isn’t Boeing’s responsibility, it’s the airline’s.
The last 747-400 passenger plane rolled off the production line in 2005. This is either going to be a maintenance issue or the engine ingesting debris or a bird, not faulty construction. Boeing doesn’t even make the engines, it’s either GE, Pratt & Whitney, or Rolls Royce, depending on the original owner’s preference.
The earlier gray version of these uniforms reminded me of the so-called bellhop uniforms from the B5 follow-up Crusade. (The episodes that were filmed first but aired later.) I wasn’t a fan of them then, and they didn’t grow on me.
Fed up, or desperate to add an emotional kick to the pants. (See the Defiant getting rocked by the Borg cube in First Contact, with no noticeable damage on DS9, but getting taken out by the Breen, only to be replaced two weeks later, with only new carpet to show for it.)
During the speech, Trump quotes an editorial by Deroy Murdock saying Trump should be nominated as the Libertarian candidate. My guess is Trump was handed a printout of the article by the staffer whose job it is to cherry pick news to make Donald feel good. He read it and he decided he needed to go to the convention, as everything he’d read said he should be their candidate. The no one among the yes men he surrounds himself with was able to talk him out of it.
I wonder if the Cockney rhyme “Derry and toms” is partially influenced by the Northern Irish town that had fighting during the Troubles. (And was later the setting for a cracker coming-of-age comedy series.)
Sniper rifles are specialized equipment, sos you can get away with limited production capacity. In a war, everyone wants SMGs, bang them out in a factory as cheaply as possible.
Trudeau won 50.30 % of the vote when he appeared on the ballot, but only people in a few neighborhoods in Montreal got to vote. Nevertheless, he runs the whole country now. Westminster style governments are weird. (Not that the Electoral College is a great system, either.)
“Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe than time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment because they’ll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important how we lived. After all, Number One, we’re only mortal.”
