  1. Much better to let the ball go under your glove and in-between your legs, than risk the chance it hits your arm and causes an owie.
  2. Stand honey shot talent diminishment in near future makes me sad
  3. An homage to Pig on that ball
  4. Louisville pitcher cannot buy a strike right now. It’s like you hired me to pitch.
  5. Simma down and have a gummy. You completely ignored this part. I believe he was referring to the marine who posted that they were trigger-happy and ready to get at the protesters in LA. I’m sorry if your snow flaky ass has a sad by that comment. When you explain to me why a huge portion of the J6 insurrectionist were former or current military, I will give a damn about a comment about cosplay. If America was a better country, we would idolize the military less and educators more.
  6. It’s the way of the leaf…
  7. “It means ‘undefeated’, for the rest of your days….”
  8. So - the great enshittening?
  9. Glad to hear that. Do you mind saying why you feel the need to have another truck note after paying off sparkle cake?
  10. Has the slow-down in freighter/ container arrivals hurt any of your buddies work yet?
  11. Don’t know if you saw earlier, but when the Arkansas team was getting off the bus, there was some mouth breather pig fan in the background displaying the horns down. WTF? Your team made it to the college series and you’re about to play LSU. Texas is not in the College World Series. Why in the world are you even thinking about them? Between Aggy and Pig y’all have some really weird stalkers. That is just a more intense display than the idiot in Tallahassee who wanted to fight me because I refused to say FSU was our greatest rival - the Noles were a little brother - and Georgia was the true enemy. That offended him so greatly that he immediately wanted to engage in fisticuffs. I kind of feel bad you had to put up with both of them for so long, only get some peace and quiet when they joined the SEC.
  12. I should’ve been clearer about all the things I do not know, because I’m probably close to the last person who has any idea how those things work. Where I keep hanging up is the fact that it would be almost impossible for the flaps not to have been put in the up position upon takeoff due to the warning system. So if the flaps were up on the takeoff approach, and they did not appear to be in the proper position as the plane was descending before the crash, I’m trying to figure out how in the world those two things could exist together. The only thing I could come up with in my ignorant brain is some hydraulic failure that fubar’d the flaps from remaining in a state that allows lift. But I guess if the voice recorder turns out to be correct, and the pilot said they had no thrust, maybe the flap setting would not have made a difference, other than to change the glide angle and how many feet the jet traveled before it crashed.
  13. This give some interesting information, but I thought it very telling that if the pilots had not set the flaps correctly, a warning system would’ve alerted them. I know nothing about nothing, but I assume there’s a lot of wind resistance and pressure on the flaps as you approach takeoff speed. I also assume that the hydraulic system is what will keep the flaps up as the flaps experience the wind pressure wanting to knock the flaps down. The gear not continuing to be raised, and the flaps not being engaged properly, seem to indicate a sudden loss of hydraulic and electrical power right at takeoff - which could include simultaneous engine failure. It sounds like the plane shut down and all the pilot could do is call in and say we’re going down. Which sounds more like a Boeing problem than a pilot problem. I would much prefer a pilot problem.
  14. What clients may go with them, well, that’s a horse of an entirely different color.
  15. Nothing says Master Race quite like grey socks and tactical sandals, a sunburn, and orange soda. j
  16. Coastal:
  17. <If America was involved> ” I’d like to speak to the manager of the Iron Dome. Right now!”
  18. So…. drill baby drill?
  19. it is my fervent wish that someday his family gets survivor benefits.
