Being physically bumped off a flight by the police (or people acting in their capacity) is in fact a good example of a police state, yes.

OK, fine. +1

The thing is, these cards weren’t *that* valuable originally. They were certainly worth something, but not thousands. They accumulated value over time. I’ve only been in the game 10 years but cards I bought from the first set I started playing are now worth quite a bit.

He got his license back and was cleared to practice medicine after 10 years.

Maybe not six felonies, but maybe two or three. The order to leave the plane was not a lawful order, since he had done nothing listed in the list of Right to Refuse Transport section of United’s contract to allow them to remove him.

It is actually fascinating. No doubt. And also pretty irrelevant.

This, specifically, is one of those things that sort of proves the point about some people’s time being worth more than others. Everyone wanted to get home. No one wanted to get bumped, because everyone things their time is just as important , if not more than, everyone elses. If you ask each passenger why they HAVE…

So you are OK with pilots and stewardesses driving themselves overnight to a place where they are expected to be ready bright and early to handle the lives of 2-300 other passengers?

Well, for all you know he had already given himself a day as a buffer and had already had his flight postponed. Also, “seeing patients” is different than surgery of course; we have no information on this guy other than what he told folks. But I suspect we will find out very soon.

This is pure genius. A philosophical problem solved!!

The jokes, they write themselves.

I actually would watch a show where people were named Torchweasel and Assflame. I’m sorry to say.

Maybe the absurd approval regulations are not absurd, and so no, the Donald can go fuck himself.

Is there a reason why these are not sold in the US? I know they are small, and would certainly get laughed at in a lot of municipalities, but in SF, for example, small cars like this are quite practical for a host of reasons. Is Ford planning on releasing them here or will this just remain something we will only see…

Why do people keep playing this game? Monopoly is a DUMB GAME. It’s dumb because the games take forever, and when a person loses, they are out of the game, and have to sit there nursing their cocktail or beer while everyone else is playing.

This is probably the best answer. Or possibly, someone with a lot of money and a large salt-water fish tank bought a shark at a local aquarium shop, and thought better of their purchase, in the parking lot, and decided to dispose of their recently purchased shark there.

No we don’t. Some of us love NMS, despite the haters.

No.
