One man’s waste is another man’s gold…

If I was SK, I would be concerned about what Putin gave NK for the troops.

A lot of Republican cans hate Ted Cruz here in Texas. They can’t stand him. They think he’s an ass.

But he’s a Republican and that’s all they fucking see in that booth.

Look at who is in office.

The governor, the Lt. governor, the state AG. They are ALL really terrible people, doing really terrible things. And the Republicans here don’t give a shit.

The problem is getting the left to fucking vote.

And that cunt, Kim Ogg in Houston, endorsed Ted Cruz. (Side note, there’s something rotten in Houston right now though and I have no idea what’s going on. I have NO idea who to trust anymore.)

I’m almost 50, and this hits hard. So many things from my youth have blended together. Almost nothing from before I was 10 now.

That is one thing I do like about the phone in my pocket. I have a constant stream of photos now, of mine and my family’s life. It’s not just a random photo of a birthday here or there that survives, but an almost living journal.

Sorry, don’t mean to be down, but back to the original story…

I actually didn’t remember about the F-14 and the Sparrow missile and thought you were just thinking of the aircraft that ran into its own bullets. I wrote my reply that way and thought, maybe I should actually do some research because maybe I don’t have the best memory, lol.

So you helped me remember too.

I think you might be conflating with this story.

The F-14 was testing the missile launch system, and the engineers failed to consider all the factors of the test missile and the system, causing it to not successfully clear the aircraft on launch, damaging the aircraft. Not really shooting itself down, or a failure of the F-14 design.

But to your real point, yeah, shit happens.

So an airfield is not giving permission to land?

An airfield is not the FAA/FEMA.

Did they file a flight plan. Did this helicopter call Musk while it was to flying around? What, does it have an Elon bat-phone in the cockpit?

How much supplies can a civilian helicopter carry?

Answer not a whole lot and is a terribly inefficient way to transport supplies to an airfield. Helicopters are best for getting into hard to reach locations to pull people out and get them to hospitals.

My guess is some rich friends tried to make an unplanned trip and wanted to land and/or get gas and were told to fuck off. Or something along those lines.

Thank you!

I’m gonna have to go with Bernie’s leadership on this one.

I trust him more than either of negotiating leads.

Your point on the demographics is key though. At some point, something’s got to give. Unions and GoP don’t mix, and for labor to not actively fight Trump is like shooting yourself in the face. It is so fucking short sighted and TERRIBLE leadership. It is leopards ate my face level stupidity.

When that major drama unfolded with him getting booted then re-hired. It was super fucking obvious that it was all about the money, the data, and the salesmanship He is nothing but a fucking tech-bro. Part Theranos, part Musk, part SBF, part (whatever that pharma asshat was), and all fucking douchebag.

AI is fucking snake oil and an excuse to scrape every bit of data like it’s collecting every skin cell dropping off of you.

And it’s blocked by a lawsuit in another state.

$1.5 billion won’t actually get you a whole lot.

Better than nothing though. Considering utilities can do this as cap projects, I feel like this money is better spent on bridges/roads.

Who is going to own the infrastructure when it is complete? Outside of like three main utilities, there are no state owned utilities. (Tennessee, Bonneville, and LCRA, I believe).

They could say anything and we would not know what the real truth was, so of course they would say something that would cast a poor light on Israel…

eh, at this point I don’t give a shit. Fuck Bibi in his genocidal ass.

That makes sense. You should call that something, like economic flow down, or trickle finances.

I don’t know, I’m just not good with words.

You are not the sharpest knife in the drawer, huh?

I use this neat trick to avoid getting purged. I register Republican.

Then I vote straight Democrat. When I can tell who the Democrat is. It’s not always easy in this dang state and all the stupid positions that are SUPPOSED to be non-partisan.

Fucking whacko fundies ruin everything.

Nope. Would 't mind if Khamenei and Netanyahu both took a .50 cal to the forehead though.

But people like you are just like a bunch of people over here. You just want to force everyone into a pigeonhole that makes you feel better about yourself and your ideology.

People are sheep and easily manipulated. That is what Netanyahu is doing, that is what Khamenei is doing, and are you manipulating or one of the manipulated?

A. I was commiserating with you.

B. Not sure where you are coming from with that weird judgment about my shallow reasoning and arrogance, lol.

C. Cheers mate. Maybe you should take a break.

Yeah, man. This crowd doesn’t really care about the point you were trying to make. Lemmy just wants to vote their feelings.

Don’t sweat it.

That’s my guess.

Looking at how people are commenting here, they would find six ways he committed a war crime, and whine how much he destroyed their day, and what a terrible, clueless person he is, if he just said, “Good afternoon.”

I’m kind of curious why the article was even written. The guy is clearly out of the public eye and hardly anyone wants to know what he thinks anyways.

Why would he invite anymore scrutiny?

Some guy on here is still commenting on his painting, lol!? That was a stupid complaint when it first came out. Now it just makes the commenter look weird.

There is no what about female circumcision. There is nothing controversial about it. It IS mutilation.
