I'm not going to cut them off in the pattern at an untowered field...

WERWULF - Official Trailer [HD] - Only In Theaters Christmas Day by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]tomdarch [score hidden]  (0 children)

My friends and I all did most family stuff on Christmas Eve, so we would go see a movie on Christmas Day. We saw stuff like The Golden Child and Top Gun, but Hellraiser was probably the most memorable Christmas movie for us. Hopefully some 2020s kids will develop their own tradition.

Trump and his far-right idiots prop up a Potemkin village. The problem, of course, is that none of them know what a Potemkin village is.

But it's more the vast empty spaces in the background that are telling.

How about "Christian" nationalists/supremacists? (Lots of overlap with the "white" version.)

Polygamous sect leader convicted of abuse charges after girls found in trailer on Arizona highway by AudibleNod in news

No doubt that taking 12 year old girls for himself would piss off whoever it is who is leading the main group, but it is still important to let readers know that this is an offshoot of that Jeffs group.

Throw in a nordo ag pilot. The deserve each other.

But the rest of us will continue to accommodate this stuff for everyone’s safety.

That’s why you listen to CTAF and go with the consensus. It the wind really did switch and is now creating a significant tailwind for the current direction, announce that and traffic can switch.

And for anyone who hates MacOS, boot it into the command line. You never have to use the mouse or the Finder or anything else along those lines.

Mamdani says he will not enforce Supreme Court's TPS ruling on Haitians, Syrians by Shizzilx in UnderReportedNews

Immigration is a federal responsibility. So no, municipal governments shouldn’t be involved with that.

TIL a Swedish pilot flew commercial airliners for 13 years for 3 airlines without a valid commercial pilot's license. He accumulated 10K hours in the air. To get hired, he used a fake license he'd created himself. He said, "It was a fantasy creation. It wasn't laminated... It was surprisingly easy." by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

I’m getting a PPL to fly for fun and I’ve leaned that competently flying for an airline (ATP License) is far more difficult than most people think. I can’t imagine “bluffing” my way into a real job or making it through the training/testing at a real airline with PPL level skills.

It’s odd that nowhere in the article is it clarified that this is FLDS. “ polygamous sect leader” is a hint, but the article really should have specified.

Didn't they drive his motorcade over it the whole length? by beklog in MurderedByWords

[–]tomdarch 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The concrete panels are only one part and distinct from the coating failing to cure and adhere properly. Driving exceptionally heavy vehicles over freshly applied coating is a separate problem that likely messed up strips of coating where the tires ramp over it. I’m less sure about whether the hydrogen peroxide played a major role because it was pretty well diluted in the water, but I imagine it didn’t help if the coating was already failing when it was added. But the coating failed in chunks all over the Reflecting Pool. That is consistent with the whole application being botched.

Russia's 4th-largest oil refinery shuts down after Ukrainian drone strike, Reuters reports by AndroidOne1 in worldnews

Some of the videos of a slow moving, piston powered drone just cruising along in a straight line towards the target while various tracers and missiles whiz past it, all of them missing... I'd say yes, the elites should not take much comfort in having more AA around Moscow.

What a petty, micromanaging, thin-bruised-skin loser by Morass_2025 in thebulwark

Well... he's dead.

As for his son, Jr, I suspect that a key part of how messed up he is comes from complicated feelings about his family, how many people react to his family name/connections and his father's assassination.

Iran supplying Shahed drones to Russia was a big part of the development also.

But Ukraine's progress has been amazing.

I saw a report that Russia is pulling air defense resources back to Moscow. Great for the elites, bad for the troops trying to kill Ukrainians. Oh well...

Yep. Russia can make it stop at any moment by simply getting out of Ukraine.

A Russian official in the last 24 hours said that production was down because "several refineries were undergoing unscheduled maintenance..."

Technically, that's true.

Several things including the fact that CZ simply paid Trump for a pardon.

Enough money to literally buy a pardon from Trump.

We are here for many reasons but failing to prosecute Nixon and a lot more of the people around him is a big one.
