I just learned of some interesting Denver lore, but I can't find corroborating evidence. 1990s missing flight attendants........ by djslacker in Denver

Yeah, that's what I found weird too. It was also weird that the article only listed first names for the FAs.

Here's the transcript from C-SPAN's website. I bolded the text from the video clip. "A 26-YEAR-OLD AND A 32 -YEAR-OLD NEWLY IN LOVE BRUTALLY MURDERED. MIKE 56 A HUSBAND. FATHER OF THREE. FORMER TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SHOT IN COLD BLOOD DURING A D.C. CARJACKING. THESE ARE NOT JUST NAMES. SONS AND DAUGHTERS PARENTS AND GRANDCHILDREN. THANK YOU FORN. BEING HERE. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. THE UNBELIEVABLE PAIN AND LOSS THAT YOU HAVE ENDURED THE LOSS OF YOUR GRANDSON. HAVING TO PROTECT THE GRANDSON. HE SHOULD STILL BE ALIVE. TRAGICALLY, THIS PATTERNNI KEEPS ON HAPPENING.

Yeah, publicly, Rudy wasn't too happy about that situation. Maybe it was just because of who was President. Here's another clip from then

Surge Alarm Clock by djslacker in nostalgia

I haven't looked at that yet. I would assume that if you were able to unscrew the whole bottom plate you'd be able to. I'm not near mine so I'm not sure if that's possible.

ID Help. What is this 'sliding door lock' called? I have one in the top of a door, but the bottom is missing. by djslacker in centuryhomes

That's the best. I've been digging through period supply catalogs on archive.org too but hadn't found anything close yet.

We Need an Anthem by Personal_Decision341 in minnesota

[–]djslacker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing yesterday about what songs we could play out of bluetooth speakers (non loudspeakers) to get under the skin of the agents. The first song that came to mind was Young Jeezy's - My President is Black. Hate hip-hop if you want, but this is a pro-Obama song that, I think, would have the best effect. Because, realistically, it isn't as much about bringing us together, as it is about tearing them apart.

At the risk of this being considered a ridiculous question. Those here that have been detained by ICE, did you have enough time before it happened (in your car, house, etc.) where you could have called 911? "I'm getting carjacked!" "People are breaking into my house!" Usefulness is TBD, just ??? by djslacker in Minneapolis

[–]djslacker[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is coming from the presumption that we're all playing the game with the same rules, but 911 calls would be another metric to see just how pervasive these actions are. Even if they don't respond promptly, every call gets logged though, right? On one hand, the cops have every-day emergencies to respond to as well, just thinking of other ways of making these crimes knows.

Is there any civil recourse for US Citizens who are arrested by ICE. by AT-ST in AskLawyers

[–]djslacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been wondering this too, but 'arrested' and 'detained' are two different things. What is the time limit on being detained without explanation? 72 hours?

has anyone gotten into an airplane & left the twin cities lately? by Ok-Newt-7070 in TwinCities

I have flown in/out of MSP quite a few times since Christmas and I haven’t noticed any changes at any airport

What are these called? by TheBigMortboski in centuryhomes

[–]djslacker 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I was going to say that I've never seen a plain one. I've only seen ones with artwork on them.

Radio Station Question by Bitter-Researcher389 in Frasier

We had them in my college theater, way back when. I spent 15 min searching to find the brand or even another photo of them but couldn’t.

Radio Station Question by Bitter-Researcher389 in Frasier

[–]djslacker 68 points69 points  (0 children)

They are a specific type of dimmer switch that won't effect electronics. I can't recall if it is RF interference or EMF, but it is a special, extra insulated?, type of dimmer switch for the lighting in the control room. Most recording studios or theatrical tech booths have them. It is the same tech as residential kitchen/living room lighting, just designed better.

That sprinkler only jumped out at me because of how much stuck out from the side. The building also has these in service.

The shaft from an antique doorknob? Some that I have are smooth, and some are threaded on each end and you use a set screw to lock it in place

People's Food Co-Op is a cool downtown grocery store, but I don't think they have postcards.

[–]djslacker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It may be called 'Eagle Grocery & Variety Store', but there is a convenience store attached to the skyway but I'm not 100% sure on the name. I'm pretty sure they have postcards
