I live in Barcelona and the fight started long past my bedtime, but I just caught the YouTube video and I’m not sure what fight people were watching. In full disclosure, I’ve practice boxing and combat sports for about 10 years and respect both fighters immensely. However, if you watch the fight again, without the…

8 year Navy vet here. 4 years as a BM and 4 as a QM, so all 8 years as a bridge watchstander. What I want to know is where the fuck was starboard goddamn watch?! Hell, all 3 lookouts should have been able to see a fucking ship that size bearing down on them. I don’t like that the CO and XO got canned but that’s the…

I’m scratching my head as to what could have happened. Some acts committed by employees are grounds for immediate dismissal, regardless of length of employment, the relationship being fundamentally broken.

Yes, you’d love this until it is you in jail b/c in a Trump world, your name-calling of a nazi would be considered hate. You can’t set the laws based on your personal feelings — that’s not law, that’s dictatorship and tyranny.

If my trailer is on fire, or stuck on a track, I can drop that trailer in 10 seconds. No need to lower landing gear or disconnect airlines when you know the trailer is gone. Pull the pin and go

I think you’re kind of talking about two different (but related) things. The implicit criticism the OP is making is that the culture places a greater importance on bullshit displays of patriotism than it does the most basic levels of human decency (i.e., don’t beat up women).

The fact that his co-workers that helped him achieve the greatest honor in his profession were shamed into thinking that they didn’t have the right to stand by him is indicative of the fuckery that is present in this day and age. Mental fucking Slavery. I don’t give a fuck about an opinion outside of humans being…

Very nice. Great message for all to adhere to. No reason to tear one another down. A rising tide lifts all boats. And mean people suck.

Standing by for the tantrums from mustache wearing white guys who are scared of the concept of “working together.”

I think the reason stupid white people recoil at the thought of white privilege is because they’ve squandered theirs. It’s easy to dismiss something that you never took advantage of as never existing, because then you don’t have to reflect upon yourself and your life choices.

1) Increase the minimum wage

I think you’re correct. My guess as an armchair pilot (well, armchair MEL pilot) is that he should have worried about climbing to a reasonable altitude, then tackled the restart process. Ditto to all you’ve said...

Also same - I don’t practice my maneuvers and emergency stuff. REALLY need to. The plane I own likes to…

Average long haul fleet trucks are spec’d with two 100 gallon tanks for weight savings. You can only fit 180 gallons of fuel in though so 180x7mpg = 1260 miles.

That video was kind of fixed in that the diesel truck started in “granny” low gear and went through every gear, something you would never do with an empty trailer.

So I learned about Vmc roll. I don’t intend to get my MEL rating, but I’m wondering if the ensuing panic, he was fighting this, which would lend credibility to the possible stall you mentioned. Maybe he was fighting it?

Closest thing I’ve had to an emergency was alternator out at around 10,000' over St. Louis. GPS…

I can’t believe that in 2017, where we are fiercely developing self-driving cars, that we cannot successfully abate street racing. A fee things I know can be done pretty effectively:

As a SoCal resident, I kind of picture street racing as more of a route planning exercise.

I said this last month:

It’s a little known fact that Goose Gossage also had a son who was once a hell of a hitter, too. At least he was until he finally got sick of Gossage’s brushbacks and constant threats to ‘put one in your ear’ if he kept crowding the plate...
