Executives and the entire board of directors. Their excuse for their big paychecks is that they take all the risks. But it’s not a ‘risk’ if there are no consequences for making bad decisions. So either it’s a ‘risk’ and they should be the ones paying for this mess (their decisions created it), or it’s not a risk and…

“un-american" pizza, from a man who uses a fork.

He has always been like that, not paying people for work. God forbid it has to come from his pocket. The motto always is “other peoples money”. He has said “I always only pay 30%, just claim the job isn’t up to par and tell them take it or leave it”. Then if things get too bad, file bankruptcy. I have been aware of…

Please use her full name, Crystal Minton, so that the world knows.

I would feel sorry for them except that they are getting exactly what they asked for.  We tried to warn them but they were more interested in chanting “lock her up” to pay attention.  They must be content to reap what they have sown - or not reap if you’re one of the new welfare farmers Trump created.

No no, the defective Russian satellite is act 1:

Even as Germany was being crushed beween the vice of vastly superior enemy forces from either side and its cities were being reduced to rubble by round the clock aerial bombing, there were still millions of Nazis who willingly obeyed the orders of their beloved Der Fuhrer.

I’ve read that if the shutdown goes beyond monday (Jan 14), The U.S. GDP will have lost more than the $5.7B Trump asked for. He’ll still want the $5.7B on top of that loss. Screw him.

Of course. IMO it’s almost downright comical how Trumpies still believe the gassy orange goober “cares” about them, their lives or their plight. He wouldn’t stop to urinate on a Trump voter if one was on fire right in front of him. He doesn’t care who his “gimme gimme gimme” tantrum hurts, he just wants his scam…

Says the guy believing what an orange shitgoblin says daily despite everyone (the people that patrol it, the past presidents who did not back it, etc.) besides him saying the opposite.

I used to work for an RV manufacturer, the “Shifter” used in the coaches I worked on was a panel with a gear indicator, buttons for Reverse, Neutral, Drive, Upshift, and Downshift (“Park” was neutral with the parking brake on) because it had a fully electronic Allison transmission. It’s possible this RV has something…

Maybe they’ve downsized VR headsets into normal glasses and he’s playing Roy right now...

The real birdbox challenge is to release 150 seagulls in your car and, with the windows up of course, try to drive from Nome, AK to San Diego, CA. I personally have completed the challenge 4 times.

Good thing he did it in French as well, gotta follow those language laws or you’ll get in some serious trouble.

It is heartening that the major political powers were able to put aside their differences and unite to deceive the public.

Not a Blackhawk, but relevant:

Yeesh. That makes me nervous. Mind you, I fly the relatively heavy Blackhawk, and our rotor extends waaaay out past the nose. Something like 11ft, and the blades can flex down off the nose fairly far - limiting the angle of the hill we can do a pinnacle to. That, and you really have to watch the torque applied - too…

GM developed a new treatment for rotors specifically to address the corrosion issue: https://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2011/Nov/1130_fnc.html
