Yeah pretty sure that's an FAA violation. No pre-boards and no one under 15 an no one who can't give a verbal confirmation that they're willing assist in an emergency are allowed to sit in an exit row.

MSNBC chyron guy still doin' work

good lord in any sort of even remotely sane world, he would be fired 10 minutes ago.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 02:16 PM) He later clarified his point. He said "Hitler was not using the gas on his own people in the same way that Assad is doing" holy f***ing hell that is well it sure is something

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 11, 2017 -> 01:14 PM) Its mathematically impossible for the plane to be half full after the A group and before the B group. It can be close, but that still leaves a whole bunch of seats next to each other. There are 48 middle seats so families should be able to get at least two next to each other by the time they board. If there are a lot of passengers on a continuing flight, the plane can still be pretty full before even A group boards. Plus if you're flying from somewhere like Ft. Lauderdale and there a ton of older people and their families boarding with blue boarding passes (disability).

I remember doing that back in the late 80's or early 90's as a kid before mixed stream curbside recycling was as common as it is now.

AP Top News Official: Russia knew Syrian chemical attack was coming

"he fell"

Oh absolutely, and the way this was handled by CPD (if that's who the plain-clothes guy who dragged him off the plane was) is appalling.

There's probably something in the contract language when you're buying your ticket stating that they can select you to be removed at random for an overbooked flight.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 02:49 PM) Do you want him to not tip off Russia, we kill 1,000 Russian troops and have a nuke war beginning? He had to warn them. No brainer. #peace Oops I saw you agreed with tipping off Russia, so my bad. My rip can be for those mocking Trump for the warning. QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 01:52 PM) check the date edit: the joke is that he tipped off Russia (which was good and the correct thing to do) who tipped off Assad so we had about a 30% hit rate on a mostly empty airfield that's already back in operation

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 02:55 PM) Oh I don't doubt prenatal development could be the primary cause at all, but that wouldn't preclude it from being in the realm of mental illness. I mean, a mental illness is basically a mental pattern that causes some kind of negative effect on the person who has it. If, as a result of how your brain is set up, your mental self-image of your gender is in contradiction to your physical sex, and this results in significant stress/anxiety/confusion/etc, that's mental illness, no? As to that episode (which I'll look for), wouldn't biological sex be established conception when your chromosomes are determined by which sperm fertilizes the egg? Also, can you elaborate on what the episode was defining as gender, and what the trigger was? Obviously they must not have be taking the position sometimes argued that gender is a cultural creation. Something more like a typically "masculine" vs "feminine" brain chemistry? I'll look for the episode too, it might actually have just been a NOVA-like PBS episode on Netflix now that I think about it. But as for the bolded, no. It's not exactly common, but there are all sorts of cases of mixed chromosomes. Far from an expert, but I think epigenetics plays a role in both sex and gender determination. edit: it was this series from PBS 9 months that made you which is available on Netflix. The episode about the transgendered girl is episode 2.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 12:59 PM) Isn't it commonly argued that transgender people ARE suffering from a form of mental illness? It's certainly not obvious to me (or the rest of the population with no clinical psychiatry/psychology background) that there can't be mental illness in play. Now, that's absolutely not to say that transgender people should be mistreated in any way, nor that accepting them for how they want to be accepted isn't a far superior option to trying to make them be something they don't want to be. I could be wrong, but while there may be some who 'argue' that I don't think it's what's supported by any modern psychology or physiology. Granted my understanding of this comes from a NOVA episode on prenatal development, but I saw recently that the latest research believes that the development "triggers" for lack of a better work that establish our sex and those that establish our gender in our brain occur separately and several weeks apart.

and without fail, a relevant Trump tweet

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 01:05 PM) Is there any bulk pricing Given that it's coming from a military contractor, the price probably goes up the more you buy because why the hell not

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 12:41 PM) I wonder how much it costed us to damage a couple jets and set some grass on fire. Over $100M given the average cost of a Tomahawk missile.

Minimal damage https://twitter.com/IraqiSecurity/status/850385429144711173
