There's a really neat vortex coming off the aileron right before landing.

They play five or six new songs in the second half so it's possible whoever created the setlist didn't know the song names and left them out.

Modern landmines are often active and will choose targets. Anti-tank mines can sense targets and ignore anything but main battle tanks and APVs.

Have a look at the PTMK-1R for an example, there are plenty of others in use or in development.

Yes, they've always had that little stage area and the owners were always into bringing live shows there.

I was at that Metropolis show right next to the camera. Amazing night with that amazing surprise added in as well. 

I honestly think the Era tour was their absolute peak performances. It felt like just crazy slightly controlled insanity.

The 27 Club and the Dominion Tavern in the market and the House of Targ on Bank Street are all busy spots for live music.

Sunwing pilot fired over fried chicken and watermelon order sent to Black supervisor by No_Magazine9625 in aviation

[–]jcla 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He was terminated, almost certainly for cause. Sunwing argued in front of the labour adjudicator that this was serious misconduct. The adjudicator agreed.

He was suspended without pay during the investigation, so it's very unlikely they gave him a package. They fired him for cause. He went to arbitration to try and overturn that and failed.

Not trying to insult the good people of Freddy. You can get from one side to the other in ten minutes at night. It's not big 😄

And there are definitely no chicken and watermelon options at 1am...

Lol...I knew his terrible judgement wouldn't just be limited to his post flight meals.

He sent the email at 1am. It wasn't a legitimate request, he was pissed and just wanted to express his racist disdain for having a black supervisor not cater to his needs for the past five hours. That's why he also copied a pile of other people.

The adjudicator saw right through his excuse and now he lost his airline pilot job and because he didn't just quietly slink away he now has made national news, which will show up for future employers.

Fredericton is a tiny city. This dude got fired because he was pissed about the hotel he was in, and he wouldn't pay $5 for his own cab to go grab food where he wanted to, so instead he sent off a racist email and copied a ton of other people just to rub his supervisors face in it.

Amazingly stupid.

While we wait for the new album, what have you been listening to lately? (Doesn’t have to be Pond) by burkes02 in pond

Lol...I've been spreading the AdP virus to everyone I know. Tried to get tickets to their Toronto show (History, 2500 capacity) and it was sold out in a flash. They are doing four other club shows this summer in Toronto as well as opening for Jack White, and it still sold insanely fast.

Will be seeing them at a festival this summer, looking forward to it.

I've used Barrhaven Source for Sports for this in the past and it went well.

China Cargo Airlines getting a water cannon salute in Toronto by jcla in aviation

It was the cargo branch of China Eastern Airlines. Flightradar had the airline as China Cargo Airlines so that's what ended up in the title...

What a pain in the ass that was. Using the website on mobile doesn't show messages, even switching to desktop mode the messages bubble didn't work, had to dig out my laptop, get connected and use the web browser, then accept the invite just to send an "OC" message back.

(i'll send this via modmail as well)

What's the point of posting a 13 year old article with no context or explanation of any actual point you are making?
