Construction. Also, it appears the pilot only had 43 hours of time in a 777.

True. Construction has been ongoing for a month.

ILS systems at SFO are shut down and have been for a month. HE didn't opt. That was the only option he had.

Already addressed what I was really asking, but thanks.

Okay, thanks, but by saying next year, I mean, next year, I will be reporting last year's income. That's usually how it works, no?

Or, consider I was being sincere. I did read the article. I did see the lump sum payment statement. I was curious about whether, if you get some kind of assistance like this if you still have to pay something next year, as a measure of "income". I was trying to differentiate in my mind this kind of payment compared to…

The statement was unclear but see my conversation with someone else on this thread. I was trying to understand, as differentiated from say a lottery payment which is given after taxes are taken out. Was wondering if they get a "tax free" payment, but then have to report extra income next year. That's why I said it was…

Thanks! Was thinking more in lines of next year. You could get a tax-free payment, but then you might still have to report something as income next year. I don't know enough about the tax laws for these types of things.

Not a snarky question: Do these recipients lose any of this to taxation?

I believe that move is called the crow hop. You learn it in baseball, but I think this joker learned it in Hell.....raises glasses to face.... OHHHHHHHHHHh!!!!

Maybe the original coverage at the top was run because the secondary coverage just how poorly the French security teams acted. Late to get to Nadal; didn't anticipate delivering the salmon-pants lackey to the green barrier (despite a henchmen dragging him that way). Standing around just watching the whole thing.

You know this is fake, right?

It's a cross. Isn't a crucifix when you get nailed to one? Looks like no nailing is going on here. Or will be.

the person who could afford the Ferrari would just stand here calmly and say, "I don't know, $265k?"

Will have to look into this. We live in Eureka Valley and can't hear a damn thing on phone calls.

When will this kind of media just end? I mean, at some point, won't people get tired of the drama and just want to see what good can come out of stuff that makes us all smarter, wiser, better physically and mentally? Stupid media driven by advertising dollars and the constant search for affirmation. We've seen media…

From whom did this hotel insider learn how to reveal tips and tricks? A grocery clerk? There's a lot more to this game than appeasing the ego of an underworked / overworked, and underappreciated hotel worker. This person makes hotel people look like wage slaves.

This was a giant paper fire lantern, not a hot air balloon.

I see what you did there.

Phone company that knows who you call, for how long, and for how often. Not creepy. Store that recognizes you (machine language code), so you can get cheaper clothes. Very creepy. I somehow don't get it. Is it because you don't hold what the stores knows in your own hand? Credit cards do this...
