Generally the air marshal is called only if it’s already established someone is getting off the plane, so I took his meaning to be either you get off and you leave or you get off and you go to jail - her cooperation at that point was establishing what happens off the plane.

You linked to an obsolete five-year old article that points out the potential medical issues of one specific, now obsolete imaging technique, implying that your concerns were about the physiological impact of being x-rayed. Now you say you don’t like the current millimeter-wave scanners that don’t produce detailed…

Ahahaha, no.

why? it’s not like ‘blind girl’ is a nonsense phrase.

The baker didn’t make a mistake, the mom did.

Everyone except the police say that kid didn’t even have a gun.

Telling people to dismiss anyone that says something contrary to your preconceptions is intellectually lazy.

The video of what happened is readily available. You can watch him fire the first shots, run back and forth into the alley and behind the truck. Somewhere in his numerous motions he could have easily been shot in the back while he was actively engaging police with a gun, yes. You shouldn’t be commenting if you didn’t…

So on the one-year anniversary of Michael Brown’s death, the Ferguson cops shoot someone,

crunching the numbers because i dig this kind of stuff. If 71 officers have been killed this year, in August, then assuming the rate continues about 95 total can be expected to have died in 2015. There are about 461,000 active duty police officers in the US, giving each officer an average of .02% chance of being…

No, but you have to understand that a majority of police departments don’t have the funds to buy body cams. Hell most of them don’t have the funds to buy the equipment they need and are forced to use antiquated equipment. So the only way to get them is to apply for federal grants like the Department of Justice Body…

Do you not get the ridiculous selection bias you’re exhibiting?

even so, if you’re not looking at shooting related injury, or even instances where they are shot at, it’s not a fair comparison because they are trained to not get shot. You can’t use “there are so few police killed” to counter an argument for that reason. Those numbers also don’t account for potential shootings that…

Maybe don’t call a place populated mostly by poor minorities and which has been reeling from the decimation of the manufacturing business and white flight ‘the butthole of America’. I take it that you drove through in your Landrover and decided the view wasn’t to your liking and you hustled home to Greenwich, CT.

Privacy? Errrr...they are on the NYC subway...

You don't understand how signs work.

You’re not supposed to lean on the INSIDE of the door (where the sign is), in case its not latched/the latch is weak and your weight pops it open and you fall out. It doesn’t matter if you’re outside of the door.

To be fair, a stand-in’s job is to literally do nothing but stand there. They’re just there so the technical crew can adjust lights, etc. with someone roughly the same size and coloring as the actual “star,” so as to speed up the setup process without taking up the real cast member’s time.

Whilst she may well have been full of shit, like most people obsessed with gluten, it actually can work the way she says it does:
