    I don’t have pics, but last night I ate Chef Boyardee ravioli, on saltine crackers.  With hot sauce.  Yes I was desperate and will dwell in the depths of despair hereafter, but that was some tasty shit.

    We really need to start charging police with the same crimes a civilian would be charged with under the same circumstances.

    And automatically make charges against police 1 level higher than a civilian because they should hold themselves to a higher standard. Then make the police unions and pension funds pay the damages instead of taxpayers. Shit would change fast.

    WFAA used to have the VIPIR product from Baron Services (Huntsville AL), which produces a 3D view of NEXRAD data, and enables precise realtime measurement of conditions street to street.  BUT NOOOOOOOOOO, BELO had to kill it because it was too accurate.

    Belo sold WFAA to Gannett in 2013. Gannett spun it off to Tenga in 2015. Standards have noticeably slid from the Belo days. Delkus sucks. Like the majority of DFW weathercasters he was brought in from out of state. I think Finfrock is the only homegrown talent left and he's retiring.

    No Sprinklers in Upper Floors of Trump Tower

     

    Trump tweeted that the fire was “Very confined (well built building).”

    Asked if that assessment was accurate, Nigro said, “It’s a well built building. The upper floors, the residence floors, are not sprinklered.”

    Fire sprinklers were not required in New York City highrises when Trump Tower was completed in 1983.

    Subsequent updates to the building code required commercial skyscrapers to install the sprinklers retroactively, but owners of older residential highrises are not required to install sprinklers unless the building undergoes major renovations.

    The 664-foot Trump Tower has 58 stories, though the top floor is numbered 68.
