I’m from Atlanta, and lived in Richmond.  Yes, I DO think if you wear gray, you’re tacitly endorsing the idea of “noble slaveowners and Southern soldiers” who were fighting to literally keep people oppressed.

No, clearly Tom found a nazi cell disguised as a 47 year old pilot of historical aircraft.

You should see all the NAZIs who acted in the Battle of Britain movie. Pretty terrifying that so many existed in England following the war. /s

And this same author will mourn how we’re repeating history, all while ignoring it,altering it, and seemingly being giddy at its destruction himself. The utter disregard for accuracy and historical artifacts here is abhorrent. There might be a significant number of Texans in the air - but they’re still LITERALLY…

The Balkenkreuz certainly existed before the Nazi-regime, yet it was the Nazis who implemented a standardized version of the cross among several military branches in 1935. Several Nazi symbols are outlawed in Germany, the Balkenkreuz is not among those, though it is definitely associated to the Nazis. These days,…

How dare you bring rational thought into this narrative?

And yet, you DON’T believe that Confederate re-enactors sympathize with the South and slavery??? I think they probably mostly do.

Balkenkreuz has nothing to do with Nazis... It was used during WW1 and is a variation of the Iron Cross that existed in Germany all the way back to the Teutonic Order 13th century. A different version of the Iron Cross is still used in German military today.

It’s acting; they’re a demo squadron, doing demo dogfights, and this plane was mocked up to be play the bad guy. Just because someone’s playing the baddie doesn’t mean they are one. I don’t know the politics generally of the group, but you can’t really assume that from this.

I guess we should be up in arms about all the FW-190s and other German aircraft stored in museums which show the Iron Cross. Including # 601088 at the USAF Museum in Dayton. https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/focke-wulf-fw-190-d-9

Good question.... Can Soyuz fly and dock by itself?

No, they didn’t die in an instant. This term has always bothered me. There was still a brief moment of terror, then extraordinary pain, then nothing. Yes, I’m fun at parties.

This is so incredibly stupid.

Take a sharp knife and from the top quickly slice through the lobster’s head. It will die instantly and plop it in the pot.

Done.

They won’t recover anything from the guy. The BMW will be repossessed by the lien holder, and I’m sure the rest was pissed away on trips and gambling.  They probably thought they could use the $$ for gambling and make more money, which they would keep.  The house always wins.

If ever there was a time for Personal Protective Equipment...

That’s sweet of you, thanks so much!

Reversals are a bit more complex than the media makes out...

What is the correct thing to do when there are two doors you pass through. First if the opener is passing through both times holding the door for that person twice...should he receive two Thank Yous or is the first one all that is necessary.

Fine for critical OS features and security updates, but when the latest version of iTunes decides to DELETE a few gig of my music files and give me access to the cloud version instead, I’m done allowing Apple to update anything on any computer I OWN. 90+% of these annoying update notifications are for apps that I…
