  1. I have no idea what a swell is.
  2. I don't think you understand what the acronym GOAT means.
  3. I wrote who cares. WTF are you talking about?
  4. You didn't say percent. You said "non commercial." I'm asking if you think we should remove all non commercial vehicles from the road since we clearly have "too many vehicles driving around now." And I would absolutely remove the driving privileges of a large percentage of the population, but that's because they drive like sh*t. As I said to my neighbor the other day when she asked me what I thought about a couple of these recent aviation incidents, if we enforced driving laws the way the FAA enforces laws related to flying, we'd get rid of 99% of accidents on the road. But it would result in a lot of people losing their drivers license.
  5. When did I say I didn't know who she is?
  6. No, this incident didn't. ATC gave the pilot of the small plane explicit instructions to hold short of that runway and the pilot IGNORED those instructions. That's why at the end of the transcript I posted he was told of a "possible pilot deviation." He was then given a phone number of the tower to call and, based upon that discussion, the tower will decide whether to move this incident up the chain to the FSDO for further action. Unless you want to lower the number of planes in the sky to ONE, this type of incident will always be possible. But the FAA is not tolerant of pilots who fock up. And air travel is still the safest form of travel in this country. Are you also in favor of banning all non-commercial cars in the country because clearly we have too many cars driving around now.
  7. GTFOH. Which of these incidents had anything to do with "too many planes flying around now?" You know not of what you speak.

    What's The First Historic Thing You Remember Watching?

    I remember getting to college one day and hearing that the Space Shuttle had blown up. Then watched it on the news a bunch of times in the student union.
  9. Trump changing who gets to decide what press outlets get to be part of the press pool:
  10. Had nothing to do with SWA. The small plane in front of him focked up. Here is that plane talking to ground: FJ: Flexjet 560 Signature with Tango, Taxi GND: Flexjet 560 Departure Frequency 119.35 Runway 22L.... What taxiway are you coming out of?

GND: FlexJet 560 possible pilot deviation. Advise you contact Midway Tower at a number. Advise when ready to copy.
  11. See, you're wasting valuable hard drive space typing this. The next time you CREATE a THEORY will be the first. You are the biggest regurgitator of OTHER people's theories/work/opinions I've ever known. it is a tip that thinking for yourself if a very liberating activity. You should try it sometime.
  12. The world needs ditch diggers, too!!!
  13. Then those people can sue, right?

    Think Biden might have won?

    I don't think they had a chance with either candidate. Polls showed people were pissed about immigration and not happy with the economy. Honestly, I'm trying to think of ANYTHING people were satisfied with from the previous administration. And @The Real timschochet, we know you are happy with anything your overlords do so that comment doesn't apply to you. Any chance they might have had hinged on putting up a totally different candidate that had no affiliation with the Biden administration and could demonstrate that they would not be continuing the same policies as Biden's administration. I don't know that they had that person on their bench so I think Trump would have won regardless of who they put out there.
  15. Well, I have a meeting with the Bob's in a few.
  16. I'd answer it. Wouldn't bother me one bit. Because I am a productive member of the team who can justify my existence ON the team.

    Dow SKYROCKETING today!

    @The Real timschochet is over at Bogleheads right now posting your hyperbole. The reaction over there should be great.
  18. As I already posted. we have a DAILY meeting where we discuss our accomplishments and immediate future goals. We also have a weekly team meeting where we go more in depth about our projects and tasks.
  19. Why do you keep mischaracterizing who sent this e-mail.? OPM is the HR department of the federal government. If I get an e-mail from my HR department I respond to it. If you work for the federal government OPM is your HR.

    Coronavirus - Doomsday

    Wuhan Institute has "discovered" a new Coronavirus with the potential to infect humans. SHOCKING!!!! https://www.newsweek.com/new-coronavirus-bat-chinese-lab-2034232
  21. I hope your friend follows through and gets canned. Sorry if that sounds callous but if she wants to fock the government of the United States she can go fock herself. And if I were her I wouldn't bet on getting that job back in four years. I have a fairly high level I.T. job and we meet daily for a 15 minute team "scrum" where we discuss what we've been working on, what we ARE working on, and what road blocks we're running in to in achieving those goals. It's really not uncommon. Also, I've heard that this is something Elon has done at other companies of his. It's also called a "heartbeat check' in that it verifies that the person even really exists. If they can't even respond to an e-mail are they even really a productive member of the team to begin wtih?
  22. So the e-mail came from an official government agency and you were wrong to say otherwise. Got it.
  23. This is too much to ask??
