As far as "virtual737", he should spare the drama and leave. Just take a look at his posts -- he made two aviation related posts in October 2021. In the 19 months since he's made several hundred posts, all in non-av, and all in arguments about political and/or social issues. He was never ...
Jump to postThese aren't the kinds of debates we want. This is an aviation website, not a place for heated debates on social issues. So just close the Non-Av forum and be done with it. That comment is about as close to "we really don't care what our users want, this is what we want" as you can get, s...
Jump to postI don’t have any problem with disarming criminals and people who are deemed mentally unsound. But it takes a mentally sound mind to point out the mentally unsound. A state governor that has bought 2 firearms for an almost 2 year old is not mentally sound. A state governor that publicly announces th...
Jump to postIt kind of says it all when it has been made clear that this decision has been made purely by the mods. Not the site owners. Not the users. The mods also don't trust taking on anyone else to mod the forums they don't want to mod. Respect for what you've done to date, but zero respect in what you're ...
Jump to postMy two cents (probably more like $20 by the time I'm done), for what it's worth: 1.) Been a member here for about 20 years, maybe more. 2.) Asked for my original account to be deleted after a certain head mod had a god complex and I created a new account when it was clear he was out of here, several...
Jump to postFillet. Medium on the well done side (very difficult to cook like this without losing lots of tenderness). Also partial to striploin or a huge t-bone. Almost unbelievably, one the two most memorable steaks I've ever eaten was on an Etihad A380. No idea how they managed it, but it was wonderfully ten...

But still, thoughts and prayers and all that.

Telly Savalas used the money he was paid from the 007 film to buy a pub / hotel not far from where I grew up in the UK. Some of his family members would run it for him. I used to go there weekly and, although I can't remember meeting him, all those that told me they had said he was a lovely fella.
Jump to postMy joy at the event wasn't that X or Y didn't like it and wanted it removed, I just thought that the PAB description was spot on, and hearing it in Congress was pure gold.

Jump to postMy bank used to do that. Call me and then ask ME to prove who I am. When I say, "you prove you're the bank first" they say they cannot divulge personal info "because of the data protection act" and if I'm not convinced I should call them back. So I say... I wasn't looking to spea...

It really does tell you everything when a new topic about a US mass shooting is almost pointless.
Jump to postAs above. Win7 was the best OS ever produced by Microsoft and I continued to use it well after Win10 was released. If you are concerned about security then you absolutely shouldn't be using an unsupported OS any more. Now on Win11 and I prefer it over Win10, although I wish MS would stop tampering w...
Jump to postDangly bits dangling with no support I find so uncomfortable and sweaty. You do realise your dangly bits are supposed to, well, dangle? Lol yep. I also have hyperhydosis so damp dangly bits don't do much for hygiene. They get their 8 hours of freedom each day when I'm sleeping. Fortunately for me, ...

I think it's more an issue of managing a country that spreads a continent, while simultaneously not having the resources to do so. Russia has a relatively small population and huge natural resources. They just decided to spread the wealth of those resources amongst a chosen few (such as Abramovich).
Jump to postThe United States of America has the greatest criminal justice system in the world. I read that comment, realised that I'd run out of Yorkshire Tea, went out and bought some, made a cuppa and then spat it out with some going up my nose. That is how ludicrous a sentence it seems to me. Your criminal...
Jump to postHow is it? It's not like the guilty are being released, they'll spend the rest of their lives in prison with no chance of parole. The bible teaches "an eye for an eye" hence the death penalty is the ultimate justice for the victims family And in the same bible, Jesus says to turn the othe...

There's very rarely a good guy with a gun when you need one, which makes a mockery of 2A. The 2A wasn't created so that crime would be guaranteed not to happen. You can do better than that. :sarcastic: It's not really him that needs to do better. I don't believe that he lives in a country that has ...
Jump to postCan we try to stop being quite so negative on this ? Yes, the awarding of the World Cup to Qatar was corrupt, but it is what it is. The absence of beer is not a disaster and few would claim a human right to drink alcohol.... when in Rome, do as the Romans do. There were far worse abuses of human ri...
Jump to postI, personally, believe that there is life on other planets, because of evolution they are not all carbon based. What is the gravitational pull of dying stars? I wonder what our orbit will be when our Sun becomes a red dwarf? Where will objects from the Kuiper Belt end up? Our Sun will likely become...
Jump to postAfter the election results later this week I think it's likely that you'd be charged with a felony if you didn't have at least an assault rifle, an extra large mag, a glock or two and a good set of knuckle dusters.
But don't get pregnant.
No predictions here. It’ll be a R Congress, however, not a prediction; a certainty. Fear and hate, alright. I fear the Dems will continue to reduce the value of my assets by 8+% a year and hate that they will continue to expand government powers, reducing liberty. What liberties have you lost the l...

The US doesn't even display the real price of items at a convenience store so why would anyone expect them to do it for car hire or hotels?
The first time I discovered that I couldn't buy 99c worth of food for $1 in a US shop (way back in the 80s) I knew that I was in a really weird country.
"Thank god for that" and "O god" have both been used by me, mostly in the past. They are just figures of speech, for me at least.
As an agnostic bordering on full atheist, I'm not addressing any kind of higher power by using those words.
