My mom would have said you have a hollow leg. I say you have two!

That would likely be Back to the Future but the car I mentioned earlier really doesn't look like a DeLorean so I said it didn't look 1950s. Not one of your best but I do look forward to them!!!!

Attached is the original image. That is how I think things through. hehe In other research, McDonald's sold it's 15 millionth burger in 1955. The car in the foreground is likely either a 1956 or 1957. We had a new 1956 in early 1957 that looked like that. They had Ray Kroc by then. They sold 100 million by 1958.

That car in the foreground is not from 1950s Not sure what the joke is.

I don't facebook but was able to cut and paste the url above and watch the video.

I will try it in November. It's right around the corner from where I will be staying.

PP Body Massage. An Oasis in the center of all that chaos! Definately need to visit once in November.

The USA was warned in advance by the Swiss. The Iraqis were warned. Western Nations knew. This was not a surprise attack. There is a long list of downed civilian flights going back to the 1930s. So, why did they fly? According to Forbes, the airline was already on the verge of bankruptcy. "The deadly incident is the first in the Ukrainian airline’s 27-year history, and comes as the company hovers on the verge of bankruptcy. UIA reported net losses of $100 million in 2018, a whopping 800% increase on 2017, and spent last year implementing a new strategy and cutting costs to sta

great stuff wac!

Saw it. Agree.

Thanks to EP for posting that excellent account of the 1988 incident. In large part I blame the airline company and the pilot. The pilot has the final say if it is safe to fly or not. In the latest incident and in 1988, airline companies seemed to put profit over the safety of their passengers and crew. As one who flies, I wouldn't have boarded any flight knowing that missiles were flying. There have been too many incidents where civilian planes have been shot down in areas experiencing violent conflict. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airliner_shootdown_incidents

On Bing News links there is a story today about the lights from an Arizona medical marijuana farm. I post the photo and an appropriate song. https://www.khou.com/article/news/medical-marijuana-farm-lights-create-purple-hazy-sky-over-snowflake-az/285-85b6ac3a-930b-46e1-a0b9-2f9b47e2657b

No. I just understand how the US law works. And again, in LA these were not "rules". It is not a law. They are FAA guidelines. enough of this sub thread for me.

The attached video contains disturbing footage starting at about 3 minutes in. The police were exonerated. Not everything we think should be classified as criminal is classified as criminal. https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/national/fresno-police-release-body-camera-footage-of-fatal-dylan-noble-shooting/2016/07/14/d1cc3aec-499f-11e6-8dac-0c6e4accc5b1_video.html I won't say more on this particular sidetrack.

You are saying that if someone had died because of this, it would be a crime. "The pilot actually ignored training and regulations! Like the drunk driver killing a pedestrian." Not necessarily in my country. Perhaps in yours. BTW, The rules for fuel dumping are not laws but guidelines here. Perhaps in your country that is different. I remember in France after Princess Di died, all civil suits were tied to the criminal complaint. If found not guilty in the criminal complaint, the civil complaints are dismissed. So. laws are much different from country to country.

Perhaps in your country. It would be handled civily here because the pilot may have been forced by circumstances to dump his fuel sooner. He was handling an emergency situation and you have classified him a criminal without knowing all of the facts.

No. Not all deaths cause by human error are criminal. Even with those that are categorized as criminal, there are degrees. So whose a criminal? The guy who pressed the button who thought he was defending his country? His superior (fog of war?) edit: a non war example. Today, a jet had to dump fuel over LA. A bunch of kids and adults got wet. The rules say over 5000 ft so that the fuel evaporates. Usually it is over water or rural areas. This was at 3000 fet and lower. Is someone at fault? The pilot could have been thinking it was his/her only choice. This is non combat but

I disagree with the characterization of criminal. When the Soviets shot down the Korean Air jet in 1983, that was a situation where the Soviet pilot should have been able to could clearly tell it was a civilian airliner but was commanded to shoot it down (they still deny it that it was anything but a legal shootdown). That happened at a time of increased tensions between the USSR and USA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Air_Lines_Flight_007 I have been in combat. It is very chaotic and adrenaline is pumping. Decisions are made with limited time for thinking. I think that both th

I stayed on Soi 7 and it was noisy long into the early morning hours. I prefer the LK Metro area but I think it is likely very noisy also these days. There are hotels in the LKM area likely not affected by noise.

Thanks for the clarification!
