  1. TBH, how is what Annie doing not trolling? He's just repeating the same thing over and over and refusing to let the thread move on or even discuss the rammifications of the decision. If he would answer directly and not play his games in the first place the thread wouldn't devolve into hating on him
  2. So rather than post the relevant portion and support your argument, you'll just repeat what you've already said and act like you've answered it Christ, Annie. This is a message board, not your death panelist job. You're allowed to use your words.
  3. But being hit by a plane while in a car... https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/ohare-airport-collision-plane-aircraft-tug/
  4. I'm still waiting on the 2nd amendment to protect us from tyranny
  5. Good ol boomerthink. And when you press him on it, he complains about politicizing the conversation yeah?
  6. Pretty reckless to not only fly a drone during an emergency situation, but also to fly it out of visual range and in a restricted airspace
  7. NTSB hasn't put out any news conferences or posts on its site in 2025 so probably yeah
  8. This type of thinking is consistent with the strong evangelical support of trump. Truth simply because they believe hard enough
  9. Explanation for what during the last 2 ½ years? The jobs reports being off or rates not coming down? Or just a general "wtf happened the last 2 ½ years to get us here"?
  10. Isn't it interesting how throwing out a nazi salute and cozying up to literal actual no shit German neonazis actually made him closer to the president and his administration?
  11. Man, I would think things like tarrifs and deporting most of the labor force that builds houses would hurt home buyers - not a wonky and historically inaccurate metric pushing rates up a quarter point
  12. Wow you're describing a guy I know to a tee. He's like cousin Eddie holding out for a management job lol
  13. Ordering all the dams be opened without any plan or warning is really gonna fuck things up for this season. Get ready for more expensive nuts and produce https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2025-01-31/trump-california-dams-opened-up From the article: “I don’t know where this water is going, but this is the wrong time of year to be releasing water from these reservoirs. It’s vitally important that we fill our reservoirs in the rainy season so water is available for farms and cities later in the summer,” Gleick said. “I think it’s very strange and it’s disturbing that, after decades of careful local, state and federal coordination, some federal agencies are starting to unilaterally manipulate California’s water supply.” Vink agreed, saying that given how dry it has been in the region this winter, there was no need to make such a release. In fact, he said, farmers were counting on that water to be available for summer irrigation. “This is going to hurt farmers,” Vink said. “This takes water out of their summer irrigation portfolio.”
  14. It's wild, the only thing that kept their balance sheet black was a mark to market valuation of Bitcoin. Totally a normal and healthy financial posture backed by stable instruments
  15. Hey wasn't $MSTR hot shit and performing well because of the crypto accounting rule change? https://www.investopedia.com/why-a-new-rule-helped-tesla-get-usd600m-in-bitcoin-gains-but-may-cost-microstrategy-billions-8783060 The taxman cometh.
  16. The endgame is Trump says something should or shouldn't be spent... Congress disagrees... Elmo does what trump says. Controlling all of the civil services means he could turn off NOAA or the FAA if they give SpaceX any guff. It's a full on oligarchy
  17. Those damn drug dealing Canadian illegals
  18. It's gonna be fun when prices shoot sky-high due to all the economic warfare going on for really no reason at all.
  19. ICE Raids in schools and hospitals be like:
  20. DLSS4 drivers hit today, I'm very curious to see how the generalized transformer DLSS model does
  21. crossposting from DT, but it's such horseshit the 6% figure is what's leading the conversation. It's bullshit. That "only 6% come in full time" is a tortured statistic. It originated from this report https://www.ernst.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/6_update.pdf Which in turn sourced its "6%" figure from a non-scientific survey conducted by Federal News Network https://federalnewsnetwork.com/federal-report/2024/04/survey-feds-question-the-why-behind-return-to-office-push/?readmore=1 Nevermind that the actual originating peice of this mythical and bullshit figure that's repeated mindlessly by useful idiots is rejected as soon as it's introduced in the article! Of the survey respondents, about 30% said they work entirely remotely, 6% work entirely in-person and 64% were working on a hybrid schedule — a mix of in-person work and telework. The breakdown of telework versus onsite work for survey respondents differs significantly from the actual breakdown for the federal workforce overall. According to the latest data from the Office of Management and Budget, out of 2.2 million federal employees, 54% hold jobs that require them to work completely onsite, while the 46% of feds who are eligible for telework spend an average of 60% of their work hours in-person. Just 10% of feds work remotely.

  23. Another angle of the collision has been posted - no evasive maneuvers by either aircraft. I'd bet the heli pilot was visually tracking the wrong aircraft and bam https://v.redd.it/zqtwwv65xbge1/DASH_480.mp4
  24. You should see some test footage of these empty airframes doing max takeoffs. Fuckers go damn near straight up. Airliners have an absurd amount of thrust on tap
