In the very old days you could actually move around the plane somewhat. It wouldn’t be worth it to me. My sister applied to Delta in the late 1970s partly for the reason you give, so I understand, though (her eyesight was too poor to even get to the interview stage, became a LSW instead).

It may be mutating in the rest of us as well. It’s being reported that vaccinated people are shedding virus just as much as the unvaccinated are. They’re just not winding up in the hospital or dying.
For this reason, I’m wearing a mask to the weed store since medical patients are there, but I was the only customer doing so Monday. One person working there has a mask on, under his nose at all times. I suspect he’s unvaccinated.

Everyone is going to catch Delta. I’d be vaccinating younger kids now if I were king.

re: #98 steve_davis

This is a bit overly cynical. The issue isn’t conservatism being a religion. Poor white conservatives tend to be heavily in churches that want tithes, and the tithes are typically 10% of income. Realizing this, it suddenly becomes a lot more understandable why even middle-class white conservatives will bitch about taxes and government: many of them are already tithing 10% of their gross incomes to churches, and then taxation on top of that feels like bloody murder to them. (rest cut)

I don’t find it cynical at all. I will admit it’s my opinion from a lifetime of observing conservatives and reading about the foundations of the conservative movement.

When something looks like a religion to me, that’s what I call it.

Religions don’t need gods (though that is helpful). They only need immutable tenets which put you outside the religion as a heretic if you do not believe as they.

Conservatives have saints they pay lip service to whilst ignoring the times they violated the tenets of their faith (Lincoln, Reagan, Trump, &c). They have specific beliefs which can never change (there are those who should rule just because they should, and those who should follow just because those ruling say so).

They have ritual chants (USA), tenets which cannot change despite overwhelming evidence against them.

The miracle of slashing taxes leading to prosperity (though for centuries they have renamed that con), “rugged individualism” or “bootstraps” (for those not on top), out groups painted as evil enemies (everybody not them, especially POC, liberals, non-Christians, &c), unquenchable thirst for power and the desire to sacrifice others for it, absolutist orthodoxy (heretics/RINOs if you don’t follow that), apologetics for the in-group’s crimes while demonising the out-group’s crimes (see GOP treatment of Trump v Democratic treatment of Cuomo), lying for the tenets of their faith, &c.

It looks exactly like a religion to me.

Lots of liberals give tithes of 10% to churches as well (my wife and I give at least as much to secular charities). Liberals don’t complain about taxes so much, because they haven’t been taught to accept on faith that taxes are necessarily bad.

I think for a brief moment some of us (speaking for myself, I guess), without understanding what had really happened, were kind of glad to see people like Snowden seem to fight back against the Bush administration, and we (me) thought GG had done a good thing by helping him. It didn’t take too long to understand that the “heroes” (including Assange) were just trying to blow things up. They’ve been in damage control for years over their actions.

I’ve yet to see a video showing air marshals on one of these flights.

Air Marshals would cost a crapton of money for every flight.

Air Traffic By the Numbers (FAA)

The FAA notes they handle more than 45,000 flights a day (that would include private and military flights), or 16,405,000 a year.

They note there are over 10,000,000 scheduled passenger flights per year.

The real problem is that to have a society, everyone has to behave like they are in one. Feral conservatives and libertarians do not believe in societies or rules (they are on top and everyone else must obey, see “conservative religion” above).

I’ve worked in the National Security field since right after 9/11.

I’ve had clearance. Snowden grabbing a dump of data from the NSA and immediately running to China with it instead of like… Sweden or some shit, spoke volumes to me about how much *not* a whistleblower he actually was. When he then ran to Putin’s arms, it was just double verification of that.

RV stuff

Well here’s the power relay that has to be replaced.

Also opened up the batter compartment up further to facilitate repairs.

Dumb Dumb here bought the wrong length of wire rolls* and fell at best, about a foot short on the vehicle recharge circut. Sigh. So no new wire got pulled today. 30 ft rolls ordered. Should be here next Monday. But on the other hand, opening up the entire section allowed me to better evaluate the damage and remove wiring I didn’t realize was damaged.

I wanted to remove the power converter (upper right hand corner), but found out that it wasn’t only a brute force 12 VDC power supply (as I suspected), but the F-ing distribution point for ALL 12 VDC, regardless of source. Sigh.

Will update when the parts come in and I get them installed.

Not a fan of Snowden deciding to run. But, realistically, his options were China, Russia, and NK; maybe Iran. US would have gotten him out of any other country.

Which a genuine whistleblower would have understood and accepted as the risk of reporting responsibly. Taking classified intel and leaking it to countries who are dubious friends at best is not going to win friends and influence people.

Air Marshals would cost a crapton of money for every flight.

Air Traffic By the Numbers (FAA)

The FAA notes they handle more than 45,000 flights a day (that would include private and military flights), or 16,405,000 a year.

They note there are over 10,000,000 scheduled passenger flights per year.

The real problem is that to have a society, everyone has to behave like they are in one. Feral conservatives and libertarians do not believe in societies or rules (they are on top and everyone else must obey, see “conservative religion” above).

You tend to label anyone who behaves badly a feral conservative wether there is any actual evidence in the story or not. I would like to point out that criming and assholishness are mostly nonpartisan.

This is a great interview with Simone Biles.
The whole time I was thinking 2 things:
1. She is really gorgeous.
2. How did she get such long hair? It doesn’t look like a wig.

Absolutely. That’s why I said that I wasn’t a fan of his running. Once he decided to run, countries like Sweden were not a realistic option, is all I’m trying to say

That’s a decapitated Groot between them. They’ve relocated a lot of stuff from tables and shelves to the floor, and that 3D print clearly had a weak layer. They were batting his head around earlier.

They wouldn’t swoop him off the street and send him back in a couple of days though. There’s a legal process to go through. If he was trying to get information out, he just needed enough time to do that and sympathetic journalists or government officials somewhere.

That said there’s a very long list of countries with no extradition that are not adversarial to the US. They aren’t all nice places, but frankly Russia isn’t a resort either.

re: #101 JC1

his options were actually following the whistleblower policy and if that didn’t feel “safe”, he could have sit in the office of any house of representative member (even of the opposition party) and made his case.

I absolutely do not buy that the only choices he had were US enemies….

and I don’t want to imply that certain elements of our government are pristine and free of any chicanery or potential abuse… but the idea of a “patriotic outing” with the very foreign states who are even worse abusers of said civil rights is untenable.

My husband retired from Kroger/King Soopers; son is working for Safeway — same union, Rocky Mountain UFCW Local 7. Was probably more amused than I ought to be to see in the union newsletter that they have a Cannabis Division, talking about the dispensaries and grow outfits they now represent.

Said it was an industry when I saw the first ‘green’ job fairs a few years ago. Now that the guys with suits are running it, the unions are coming in to protect the workers. DC needs to give up and grant these businesses full banking privileges already — that genie ain’t going back in the bottle.

Obviously this should have been his first choice. A non-adversarial country as a temporary stop before returning should be plan B.

Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Syria, etc… shouldn’t have been an option ever.

I’ve been pretty much a middle of the road Dem for awhile now and I think Snowden is a traitor. Also, I despise Greenwald. Have since he became “famous”.

I’ve only designed simple objects using Blender, which is free, but you could design anything in it. I’m mostly printing objects from Thingiverse and Cults3D.
