FETCH! Finder is a genius at finding things. Sometimes they’re even lost to start with. But when he and his crew find an alien wreck they kick off a chain of events that could restart an ancient war.

It’s been tried in large aircraft simulators through I believe and it doesn’t end well.
I’ve flown enough that I think I could solo land a small single engine plane in an emergency. I know for a fact that couldn’t land a wide body jet.

The whole flipping point of weight classes is to minimize differences between fighters.
Khelif’s record in the ring isn’t even that good in the scheme of things. She’s won at some regional contests.

My dad had a D Day service medal for what he did on D Day. He was not in Normandy but had supported the landings. 🤷♂️

Is he running for President??? Is he the president and nobody told the president? Does he work in the government? Has he ever? Unlike, say, Ivanka who is in the government and got trademarks from China? Hmmm double standards?

19th April 2022 is my 76th birthday. I may or may not ‘trend’ on this hellsite and thus multitudes of morbid meatheads will assume I’m dead.
Please RT to spread the word that I am not currently planning to be dead on Tuesday.

They were moaning about one of the swimmers because she looked a bit grim having just finished the fucking 1500 meters and was on the podium in a track suit and looking wet. They don't really care about women.

Lousy observation - I wear a mask, particularly on the outward leg because after years of putting up with business trips screwed up by norovirus or something else, I've found a mask actually does work at reducing the incidence of those things. Might not kill me, still don't want.

Sales, marketing, operations, accounting (for the multi BILLION dollar) ad business they were running, compliance/risk/privacy management for the jurisdictions they operate in which have laws about that stuff… then there’s product management for future releases.

Which in a normal crisis might work. But we’ll have the record unemployment numbers coming, the terrible GDP numbers, accelerations in outbreaks in lots of states that have opened too soon and loads more dead. The conversation isn’t as easily controlled these days.

What do you propose Dad’s do with children if they take them swimming. They’re not going in the ladies and taking young kids with you into your changing room has been a thing for a long time at swimming pools.
The answer is use a stall.

And Musk had to leverage himself with a lot of debt to pull that off. Apple could do it without borrowing anything. They won’t mind you but it’s sobering to think what their cash resources are.

My brother had an MI on a golf course in Cornwall. He was airlifted to a cardiac center and had a stent inside of an hour.
He paid for his hip to be done.
That’s how the UK has worked for years.
Now tell me your max out of pocket here and if the airlift would be covered?

I believe the answer the FBI ended up at was the email showed sloppy handling but wasn’t actually an issue under the law at the time.
That law was tightened up in 2018 to make sure it wouldn’t be something you could do in the future. You can’t enact laws retroactively
