Resignation or not, sounds like Biden needs to line up a successor. Prostate cancer is no joke.

That is not true.

If it's Alaskan, they've grounded these planes already.

reuters.com WWW.REUTERS.COM Anyone want to guess how many sex reassignment surgeries were performed on people under 18 in 2021? Fewer than 300. This is simply not a problem needing legislation.

Okay. I went on a rant about this last night. 1. What blew out last night WAS a door. This is a big problem and points to probably something wrong during construction. Alaska has grounded their 737 Max 9s, rightfully so. 2. What Alice is tweeting about in the first article is something different. The issue here is a problem with the engine cowling deicing on the Max 7 and Max 10. The problem is that when the deicing is turned on during dry and non-icing conditions there can be higher than normal temperatures in the cowling. The worry is that these temps could cause material failure and potentially lead to pieces detaching. This has not been observed to have happened. 3. Boeing is working on a permanent fix to this but it will take time. In the interim is also proposing to the FAA a temporary change in operations to allow them to keep operating planes and provide a layer of safety to avoid high temps when the deicing system is operated in the wrong conditions. 4. In the 2nd article Alice tweeted, that's yet a third separate issue. Congress granted that exemption in the 2nd article because the law was applying an already-passed ate to multiple plane models AND the Max 7 and Max 10. The Max 7 and 10 were cut out, but still required the Max 7 and 10 to have some systems retrofitted within 3 years. After that, if they aren't retrofitted, those planes can't operate. https://archive.is/KsxaN#selection-2125.0-2164.0 Boeing isn't blameless and needs to get its shit together. But Congress/the FAA aren't giving them a blank check to do what they want. That said, it's extremely fortunate no one was hurt in this Alaska blowout.

Right I'm thinking like... Ethiopia... Where it's been about the same since like 100 AD. (I could also be very uninformed about this)

Ah I gotcha. I think there are orthodox or other eastern divisions of Christianity that similarly reject the trinity.

Which has to be some justification for why some don't view them as Christian. What's the tl;dr on the definition Mormons use?

this thread fucking sucks

These are the stupidest things.

Lots of love. My grandfather passed away on Thanksgiving and it was very difficult. Arguably, the hardest part is watching other family members take it harder. Hang on to those memories. They're precious.

What an incredible thread. I have no idea how I missed this 2 years ago lmao. So back to "My Father's Gun" by Elton John, I became obsessed with a similar song from a different band: The Band's "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." Robbie Robertson didn't intend any messaging towards the Lost Cause. He wrote the song because it fit Levon Helm's voice and accent. But in doing so, the song about a poor Confederate soldier with an overarching anti-war message became one of these cultural things that perpetuated the Lost Cause. People read into it what they wanted to hear. I have some sympathy for songwriters that accidentally fell into the Lost Cause myth while making incredible pieces of art. On the flip side, fuck Lynyrd Skynyrd and their blatant glorification of the Confederacy.

Wow, I totally missed the NYT Op-ed thing.

It's important to remember that the Ukrainian Air Force, Navy, and Special Forces are more agile and eager to learn and adapt than the Army.

This is as good of a justification as any as to why Nebraska and Utah are on opposite sides.

Idiotic. Just what do these filmmakers think Minnesota has in common ideologically with Idaho? Let alone TX and CA.

Alex Jones level judgement. lmao

My reactions in order that I felt them: California and Texas? Surely not. Maybe it's non-bay area and SoCal California and Texas. LOL, Fat Damon as a chud and Ron Swanson as president. This is going to be so bad. Whatever this movie is trying to say will probably fall flat, if it's trying to say anything at all. Given the state of the country at the moment, this seems ill advised at best and really harmful at worst. This looks like shit.

I saw this preview before Godzilla and I thought it looked pretty intriguing. Or that it could be. We'll see!

yes pls

My company is already working on this and helped Chicago get $336 million for the city to inventory its lines and replace them.

I could have gotten the Grimes part wrong.

worst list of humans I've seen in one screenshot in the last several years. It's fitting that all I hear is piss.
