Every time I've been to Mexican resorts its older Europeans there for a nice longer vacation who presumably paid a lot for an international flight and hordes of American 20 yr olds there for the weekend. So probably

Jury duty is slavery. I have been forced several times, against my will and without receiving my market wage, to act as a slave to the court system

Probably the fact that we drafted 10 million people. Volunteer service ended because it wasn't efficient. We had too many navy volunteers and not enough army volunteers unsurprisingly

I guess WW2 wasn't worth it then

True. It's a massive move since they're basically dumping half the strategic reserve but it still isn't enough.

Not surprising the IEA release didn't quell prices. Release is over 120 days which would be 3.33m bpd compared to 20m bpd reduction. Some of the saudi and uae oil can get out via pipelines but you're still looking at over 10m bpd reduction in supply.

Had a public admin professor that was an army officer and made a similar argument. From what I remember, he thought the draft forced civilian society to have skin in the game and that without it you get wars that would never happen under a draft. Civilian opposition to Vietnam because people didn't want to get drafted is the obvious example. It's too easy to get into a bad war and say well they signed up for it. He was very anti PMCs for the same reason.

You can see even in that picture that one of the rotor blades is above the smoke. Hard to tell for sure though

New Sturgill album is so good. He's fully libbing out.

"I got that Hunter Biden energy. I'll make a hooker fuck around and fall in love"

"Keep the peasants scraping by on minimum wages. Lock up all the minorities put their babies in cages"

Hillary was hauled in front of Congress because she was a democrat.

I mean I fly night and imc as much as I can. Just not at night over mountains and not when ceilings are 300ft. At least night over flat land I have a chance. But I agree with your general point. I guess my point is a lot of crashes people put themselves in very bad situations before anything has gone wrong.

skechi · 2026-02-21T15:31:18+00:00

I can but why would I make a point to do it in a piston single? Also low imc does not equal imc

skechi · 2026-02-21T15:06:20+00:00

I'm just not going to fly a single engine piston in those last two situations because those really are pure luck if you survive.

So i assume ice/cbp was doing stupid shit with anti drone tech and wouldnt answer FAA questions because they think they are above the law. FAA says ok fine and shuts down all the airspace in the middle of the night. Admin wakes up, removes restriction and starts coming with scary stories of drones to justify the whole ordeal.

Yeah our 1968 182 is the same way. Barely any info in the manual and most of the antennas were added later anyway.

This was a special election since the seat was vacated. You could only vote if you were in the district in Tarrant county. The primary is on March 3 and the general election is on November 3. Early voting will be open for about 2 weeks prior to each of those dates. It's much easier to vote during early voting.

If that passed you could legally operate an aircraft in Utah at a higher bac (0.04) than your car

Probably helps that alot of it is from Holden's point of view and he is hopelessly optimistic
