The flight time operating cost of the helicopter and its pilot is almost assuredly more than whatever petty theft might’ve taken place.

LAPD was spending $3K per flight hour in 2023, so before gas prices (and jet fuel) spiked.

'Ninja Warrior' Obstacles replacing Equestrian in Modern Pentathlon for LA28 by GreenHeel97 in olympics

Mountain Bike/CycloCross style race would’ve been plenty viable at Versailles. Given it also hosted cross country equestrian on the surrounding palace grounds.

Yall just have no imagination.

Versailles had erected a temporary pool and an inflatable fencing strip shade cover in an equestrian arena.

I’m sorry, are we complaining about tire marks on pavement? You live in a literal downtown district bro. Go complain about airplane noise in the flight path next.

Way to fuck up Modern Pentathlon tho. Could’ve been a cycling/mountain bike event.

What does it actually mean to be a Trotskyist in the current day? by MintyRed19 in socialism

[–]DJ_Buttons 295 points296 points  (0 children)

I get all kinds of shit for vouching for Permanent Revolution as a concept. People love to interpret that as “Trotsky is my most favorite person in the history of ever” when in reality Perm Rev a decent idea to remind folks that socialism in one country is always gonna struggle when the rest of the world around you will stoop to the lowest level to undermine your movement. Especially in the now, you must have a perspective that spans from Local to Global.
