    You really think Patty Murry, Maria Cantwell, Jim McDermott and so on are 'actively fighting ACA'?
    Good for you.

    You live in an amazing place compared to WA or even OR..
    I am curious, did you accidentally omit mentioning a subsidy you 'earned' that I do not have available?

  5. Re:Chappelle said it nicely on Double Take: Condoleezza Rice As Dropbox's Newest Board Member · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Nothing more hated then a self made very successful minority.
    Demonstrating that the government doesn't have to give a minority special help and a free pass is strictly forbidden.
    When liberals stop owning and grooming minorities to keep them beholden to the master government is when we will see true freedom, not doublespeak.

    Was it because you are a silly twit, a racist, a misogynist, or a super combo narrow minded lemming?

    Were you going to contrast American culture with some other nation?

    I have experienced things that suggest the problem is bigger and older than American culture.

    You have a bias-ply mind in a radial world.

    Well, let me know because I can't monitor them all by myself.

    I remember the ad, and quite some time later the reality.
    The Volvo(s) had help.
    From a quick google search:
    1971 Volvo print ad emphasizing roof strength. Called "Stacking," the ad showed six Volvo 144s stacked atop a seventh. They were real Volvos, but the impressive stack had help. Each of the six stacked cars rested in a wooden cradle that evenly distributed its weight across the top of the car immediately beneath--and also helped keep the stack from toppling over and ruining some hapless photographer‘s day.

  23. Re:Doppler data? on How Satellite Company Inmarsat Tracked Down MH370 · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they used responses from other aircraft to refine their frequency drift.
    The original positions of MH370 were very close to the equator.
    The sooner they could resolve a direction away from the satellite without closing again.....
    Hell, I don't know.
    How about the NSA knows and they are just making up evidence to cover the extent of their spying?
    Now, where's my tin foil hat and who is that at my door?

    No.
    No it hasn't happened most of the time, ditching is bad, your plane will be bent.
    By the way, they were not landing on Lake Placid.
    You can not expect any aircraft to survive a landing in that area.

  25. Re:Flight recorder on How Satellite Company Inmarsat Tracked Down MH370 · · Score: 1

    Don't you think it isn't the cost of the recording tech, it's the airlines way of maintaining privacy/secrecy at the expense of information following an incident.
    I don't know that there are things that flight crews have done knowing the recording will be gone before they land, but it looks like I am implying it.
