  1. Gone to the finest school and didn't just get juiced in it... It actually learned something! https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1274448 ๐Ÿ˜
  2. Yeah... I can totally let God decide if bikes need to be run over. It's in his hands.
  3. Yes Dave, you are correct! ๐Ÿ˜Š
  4. No. I think he's saying the opposite. Probably one of the harder scores in sports.
  5. Slightly different than @Jauronimo's post.. But close...
  6. They're sitting all pretty close. Hope they're vaxxed. Especially the guy with hat turned backwards. ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜œ
  7. They don't play in the left driving part of the world! Too sunny to be England, ๐Ÿ˜†. Is that in Australia ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ?
  8. Yes. The miter gate variety is like a pressurized airplane door. When there's difference of water (head) on either side of them, it would take a strongman to open them. BUT equalize the pressure and a lady in high heels can swing them... NOW sector gates, they can be open against the pressure of the head, because one side is angled or curved, equally displacing the amount of pressure being applied the gate holding it shut (ie: acts like a cam). ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚You CAN open the gates if you equalize the pressure, but you may NOT open the gates! ๐Ÿ˜
  9. Have you seen Alanis Morissette/Tori Amos in concert since? Did you positively rule out the Alanis Morissette/Tori Amos connection? I wouldn't be so quick to judge the undercooked chicken sandwich @ Ruby Tuesday's. I'd try Ruby Tuesday's again, just to see if you get sick. LoL... ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜œ
  10. I agree on second part. But as we start legalizing weed... We will find out for sure. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/abcs-child-psychiatry/201601/does-marijuana-cause-psychosis Who knows if this even applies to her. YET, IMO.. It's being pushed under the rug. Not to go off topic... Or assume she was a cannabis user... But the question to be asked, is what's going on with the state of mental health today? "Putting all of this together, the authors concluded that โ€œthere is a strong body of epidemiologic evidence to support the view that regular or heavy cannabis use increases the risk of developing psychotic disordersโ€ฆ.โ€ While it seems to be more and more difficult to ignore these data, this increased risk needs to be understood in context. If the overall rate of schizophrenia in the population is about 1%, then these data suggest that the risk of psychosis, at least among more casual users, is still fairly low, like 1.5%. Given the potential of millions of new cannabis users, however, these numbers translate into many thousands of individuals with what can be quite disabling psychotic symptoms at a time when mental health and substance abuse treatment centers are already stretched extremely thin."
  11. Then what are we worried about with regards to the door? Maybe she calms down without all the needless duct tape. Go up to the door and say: "SEE crazy lady, it's impossible, the pressure is too great on the inside." ...And begin to fiddle with the door seal (which of course is against the law for a reason... ๐Ÿ˜) ๐Ÿ˜† Let's call it like it is. She was subdued for her own safety and the immediate safety of others, NOT the safety of the plane in flight. She won't crash the plane, we just don't want a crazy lady running around the cabin so we duct taped her down.
  12. The psychosis we see that seems more rampant nowadays, can we blame the weed and genetic predisposition? ๐Ÿ˜†
  13. Working at Burger King didn't get in the way of her practice hours. ๐Ÿ˜
  14. So one CAN open the door without being a 2000 pound strongman. Just depressurize the cabin first... Or slowly start equalizing the pressure to free the mechanism/latch. Probably why they didn't want her working on that door. LoL... Never say it can't be done. ๐Ÿ˜‰
  15. Does it become easier to open a side door once the cabin loses pressure? Or is it still impossible?
  16. Then let he have at it. Nothing to worry about. ๐Ÿ˜ How did DB Cooper? Maybe it was the back door and it takes a lot less.
  17. I always wonder when, if ever, people will understand the difference between "may" and "can." Sure you CAN open a door in flight, but you MAY NOT open a door in flightVA! Anyway... ยกOye coma va! Why now so many psychotic episodes, or have they always happened... Are we just hearing about them more? Before we were married, my wife was on a Greyhound bus years ago, in the early 1990s, on her way from Chicago to Champaign on I-57... A male passenger wigged out in a psychotic episode. It was during a snowstorm. The make passenger wanted the bus to stop during a white-out... He wanted to leave the bus... Dude be freaking!! He was going crazy, ranting in Spanish too. The bus driver told him that they were NOT going to stop, that it would be sure death if they did. After pacing, roaming up and down the bus aisle a few times, the Spanish-speaking crazy guy calmed down and sat in the empty seat righg next to my future wife... And... AND took off his shoes and started to clean them!๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿคฃ The rest of the bus ride was uneventful, except for the bilzzard. Thanks to the honorable service and quick thinking of the bus driver, tragedy was averted and we've been happily married ever since. My shoes will always be spotless, even in the slop of winter with you by my side!๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’˜โค
  18. Depends on how the fall is. One can die falling off a 6 foot ladder.
  19. Tough too! Did you see the story of Binx? https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_60e958e0e4b06dfc5e21a1a2/amp Anyway, I recall reading that cats right themselves in mid air and use like a parachute effect.
  20. You'd throw the game too! ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜œ
