LA Times has an article about airplane 'fume events' where fumes from heated jet engine oil leak into the circulated air, which is something I hadn't actually heard of before (I also have only ever flown twice) https://www.latimes.com/projects/toxic-chemicals-planes-covid-19-travel-woes/ Garrand fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Dec 17, 2020 |

I've seen this before but just realized he is in sandals, which makes it so much worse.

I'm more worried about random passengers in airplanes than anything else. I even had a woman somehow get a pistol through security and was proudly wearing it on her hip in the seat next to mine. Yes, a flight attendant was notified and the lady was taken off by police.

How did that interaction go, did you call for the flight attendant or another passenger?

Full story is that my wife and I were sitting in the center and window seat when the pistol packer sat next to us. I saw it first, and was talking quietly to my wife about it. My wife thought it was a cell phone case or something, but I was 100% sure what it was. Another passenger had seen it before us and the attendant came while I was trying to convince my wife it was the right thing to do before we took off. The woman who reported it came over to us and said, "you saw it, didn't you? That's why you were whispering to your girl" and I confirmed it. She told me that I shouldn't have hesitated, and I normally wouldn't have but my wife hates confrontations. That was about 8 years ago, and since then I've only had 2 bad incidents with other passengers since then. One was a very inebriated couple of guys on a work trip that called a black dude an insensitive blame (you kNow the oNe) and the plane made a u-turn after pushing back and went to another gate where police happily ejected the guys. The best part of that incident was hearing the remaining guys that were traveling with them talking about how it was likely they would be fired when they didn't show up for work in the morning with them. I hope they still are on the No-Fly list.

Luneshot posted:https://grist.org/justice/tva-kingston-coal-ash-spill-nuclear/ They're having a memorial in Kingston this Sunday for the victims/cleanup workers. I live a few miles from this and it is amazing the amount of "It wasn't that big of a deal" talk you get from some of the locals. My property also backs up to the old K25 plant, so I suspect I'll be studied for new forms of cancer at some point.

That looks really bad. My wife used to run total loss claims for auto insurance, and told me stories about cement trucks not being able to come to a stop at the bottom of hills and just destroying SUVs and pickup trucks. It, uh, did not end well for the passengers of those vehicles. I drive behind cement trucks now.

there should be a separate road system for anything larger than a sedan.

But Nuclear Weapons processing is almost entirely DOD/DOE decided, and it results in some scary poo poo that will turn you white as a sheet....
