  6. i'll wager that's what happened we do not have a supercomputer/AI capability which takes all of the TCAS and ADS-B data and projects forward in time - all it does is render on screens and humans have to interpret it this is a perfect opportunity for doge to get a win so he who must not be insulted can spike the football

  9. no - that's dead on - team turnip is probably actually only about 38-42% our side lost because our party thought we could slam-dunk taking the high road and got out-socialed the intelligent aware objective and enlightened caucus is probably less than 15% the 30% in the middle were easily winnable and in hindsight the dems punted on 1st down

  18. you fucking did it yourself you goddamn imbecile YOU POSTED THE PIC OF YOU GETTING DIALYSIS!! you put YOUR OWN SHIT on blast!
  19. the swingwing and doubledroop nose were bad ass..... but not wise choices; the final version was the -300 with a fixed wing and single-pivot nose: negatory
  20. here's a smattering of the best 2707 pics on the net, AAA (admiral ancient authentica) rated the following are of a half-size mockup (i think....) but definitely not real size Boeing-2707-1-1000x563.avif
  21. that's a concorde not a 2707 continental was one of the original concorde customers that cancelled https://www.heritageconcorde.com/concorde-orders-and-options this to-scale rendering of the projected CO fleet after retirement of the Viscounts and before the Bass livery (the classic black then later red 'meatball' "contrails" livery, may, 68) this rendering shows the giant size of the 2707 which was projected to carry 250 pax v. Concorde's 100 bonus street cred for anyone who can identify this location:
  22. spanky conflated his renal failure diagnosis with a death sentence to play for leniency for his bullshit positions per typical maga behavior "According to most medical sources, the average life expectancy for someone on dialysis is between 5 and 10 years, though many patients can live well on dialysis for 20 or even 30 years, depending on their overall health and adherence to treatment plans." his "miraculous" recovery was starting dialysis to counteract renal (kidney) failure there are 500k+ in this country on dialisys and the 37m with chronic kidney disease, 90% of which are undiagnosed "If we do not address kidney disease early and work to slow or stop the progression to kidney failure, the expense of treating kidney failure could bankrupt the Medicare Trust Fund. The Medicare program spends more than $130 billion – more than 24 percent of total spending – on patients with kidney disease. Further, end stage kidney disease, which affects only 1 percent of Medicare beneficiaries, accounts for 7 percent of Medicare spending." make sure you're sitting down spanky..... cause wait! there's moar! your brain is about to explode! "The majority of the Medicare trust fund is derived from FICA taxes, with the current rate for Medicare being 1.45% for both the employer and employee, which means around 90% of the Medicare trust fund comes from FICA taxes." that's right, spanky, the blood scrub that's keeping you alive is 90% paid for by FICA taxes "A new study shows that undocumented immigrants paid nearly $100 billion in federal, state and local tax revenue in 2022 while many are shut out of the programs their taxes fund. The findings run counter to anti-immigrant rhetoric that undocumented immigrants are “destroying” social programs." https://alabamareflector.com/2024/08/02/study-says-undocumented-immigrants-paid-almost-100-billion-in-taxes/
  23. you had the gall to play the dialysis card after posting a wall of text a mile high while you still continue to ignore the question
