Hopefully, in Buffalo, there'll be a JOSHE soon enough.

Well, I'll take the bait and explain. I was based there for years and flew widebodies from O'hare to Europe /Asia and back. O'hare arrrival corridors are corridors are set up like a lot of other large intl airports in the US. There are four "cornerposts" where the arrival approaches are funnelled. Your post is mostly correct, but the cornerposts are northeast, and the arrival over the lake, Southeast, with the arrival starting in Indiana, Southwest, a bit north of St. Louis, and west/northwest. Arrivals are sequenced over those cornerposts and the time splits coordinated so when you get turned over from the high altitude sector to O'hare approach, the sequencing is set up to make approach control's job easier. From each setup, airplanes are directed to one of two active runways. Easr arrivals use one runway and west another. Works pretty well. Actually, O'hare is the best controlled airport on earth, in my view. Did my retirement trip from there to Beijing and back, and got the water cannon salute from the O'hare fire dept at gate arrival. Regarding your comment on the waypoint names, the standard is that they are five letters, so they play with consonants to make that work. In your post, the FNT WYNDE3, would be pronounced the "Flint Windey three, addressing the windy city moniker. When updated, it would be "flint windey four", and so on. They almost always are created with a local "flavor," thus the Bears stuff. Washington has some interesting ones as well, as do most airports.

Pelosi has been an unapologetic liar for years. Politically bulletproof because of her district. Lied about not knowing about enhanced interrogation, selling out the CIA in the process. Gross insider trader, who bet on the fact that others in Congress who were just as hopeful at doing the same thing would not expose her. Simply disgusting. When she passes away, I hope an expose is written about her. I could do no more greater service to this country than doing it myself. Simply corrupt.

California has a government skill shortage, and has for quite a while. By the way, comparing anything envisioned in this program to anything in Venezuela, which I believe you did yesterday is absolutely preposterous.

Once we penetrate borders with military force, like Apaches gunning transports on Mexican highways, or special forces doing stuff outside our geography, we'll see what happens.

The US Cast Guard is a military service and has been interdicting drug traffic in intl waters and closer for years.

Fantastic reputation as astronaut, Naval Aviator and individual.

We are. Wife has it on constantly during the day.

I am not really interested in discussing personal portfolios. I do me. What I responded to was your claim that the market did not seem to agree that the technology was of significant value, and I claimed that it certainly was, and now the market has come to realize that. Not hard to do after scores of purchases by Fortune 500's who can no longer tolerate grid dependence. Time for a pause, but keep watching. A non combustion, extremely clean process that can use lng, biofuel or hydrogen, cost competitive and produced at the consumption site, ie., no grid reliance.

I believe I have a pretty good grip, and I don't even like Trump. Your choice of disgusting vulgarity has nothing to do with that.

The Make a Wish program is a big deal in the airline business. In its early years, only the flight attendants would know and handle the special treatment. One time, I was doing a 757 ORD to orange County trip, and after we landed a flight attendant was at the cockpit door with a kid about 10 who looked quite ill. She told me he was a Make a Wish kid whose dream was to go to Disneyland. She said he asked if he could see the cockpit and I said of course. I got him set up in my seat and while the FO was explaining all the stuff to him his dad told me he had terminal cancer, and D'land was his dream. I was so impressed with him. Anyway, he spent about 15 mins in my seat and when he left he looked really happy. Lots of pics etc. I gave him my card with my address and some kind, encouraging words on the back, and about a week later I got a thank you card from him expressing how much fun he had in the cockpit. About a month after that, I got a note from his dad who said he had passed away, but wanted me to know that the cockpit visit was more thrilling to him than D'land, and that they had framed a few of the pics and placed them with him in his hospital room at the end. It really made an impression on me. Now, they have a full thing at the gate prior to boarding for these kids and everybody is made aware. It is an immense pleasure to put a smile on these kid's faces. (Please, no "Airplane" movie jokes)

Yes. You are an arbiter of intellect. Who posted this: " think it’s funny that you got nothing to say as usual but defend your idiotic cult dickcunt." A brilliant mind, no doubt.

You can do both. You can stash the majority in "go fishing" portfolios, and take a bit and do the research and do individual issues, including options. It doesn't have to be one strategy. Chess vs. checkers.

I timed it right, I think.

Ya. I sure was wrong about this. Emerging Energy

Ya, but anyone catch the mistake Pegula named when talking about it? He asked Josh if he remembered that from his thermodynamics class in college. It isn't thermodynamics, it's aerodynamics, unless they are including some heat source. Josh's gravity explanation made up for the poor Pegula science.

Just once. Got up at about 4:30AM and walked into my kitchen. Out the window, I could see this huge flame on a neighbor's property about a quarter mile away. Not a house, but I wasn't sure what it was, but it was big as I could see it through the dense woods. Turned out it was his shed, which had a portable heater in it that torched the thing.

"One Way A, J."

As a fan since the mid 60's, this situation is ridiculous. Way to many injuries that keep people out of practice. The first thing I look for every day after practice in injury news. Crazy this year.

You should have given up on posting anything remotely related to Social Security after your bizarre claim a couple years ago that Biden should be thanked for lawfully mandated annual cost of living increases. That was a classic.

Obviously not informed, but aren't some meniscus clean ups relatively minor?

I can empathize a bit, as I'm rehabbing a complete knee replacement done two weeks ago. I was so bothered by this Max situation and how it could impact our season that I thought that if you draft a corner in the first round, once he gets done hugging the Commish, drag him the nearest, best ortho guy and rebuild his knees. I have calmed down a bit since, until the next injury. This game/position is not meant for human knees, and the position is so impactful.

Simply the best news thread ever.

There is some validity to it. Covid happened. The economy was dead in the water. About six trillion dollars was created to keep things afloat, in my estimation, four trillion of that was a mistake. Now you have all these new $'s chasing non expanding supply, especially in the housing market, causing non traditional increases in cost, which attracts further spending in that area of the economy, resulting in disproportionate price increases. Saving things comes at a cost.

I think you misunderstood. I was agreeing with yall's post, which referred to the kid's silly claim, which was ridiculous. Not your experience.
