Also, someone ran over some protesters in Minnesota because apparently the way to be mad about something in Missouri is disrupt traffic in Minneapolis?

They were quieter up here in my neck of the woods but still held a rally. Apparently Michael Brown is the same thing as when a cop punched some Native American guy out of his wheelchair at the drunk tank a couple years ago. The cop was fired.

yuck.

I really have zero tolerance for police or prosecutor misconduct.

But there's a big difference between saying "police should be held accountable" with which I agree and "police are never actually in danger in their jobs and so they should have to keep their guns locked in the console" (which someone actually suggested.)

They were also crying about an incident back in January in another part of the metro area where a cop punched a black lady in the face a couple of times. Thing is she was drunk, completely out of control, and had scratched him in the face. They're mad now because he got exonerated, of course charges against her were dropped too but she's still not happy.

My high school sociology teacher started ranting on time about how it's incredibly racist to talk about "those people from Chicago". Well 15. Years ago there wasn't a heroin problem up here and now there is. I'm not against helping people but excuse me if I'm not wholeheartedly for letting just poo poo all over the rest of the community.

Yes. He got spared criminal charges but there's no way he's ever working as a cop again.

I actually thing it would be a good through experiment to lay down all the logistics and legality to explain why its a great flash idea but would take a ton of time and money to implement.
A lot of tasers have had cameras in them for years for liability reasons. We might as well put them on guns now so the next time somebody is crying about a cop blowing away their precious innocent baby they can be presented with video of him brandishing a meat cleaver.

A decision like that reeks more of desperation. Wonder how they factored that into logistics/availability calculations or if they just assumed somebody would modify the fuel tanks.
I don't know much about avionics but it seems like checking how warm fuel got sitting in a tank versus the tolerance of the engines would have been prudent. There really ought to be a career path out there that involves giving common sense advice to engineers to keep them from loving up.

I'm sure somebody wants to make fun of the guy who had the tanks painted white but he wasn't involved with designing, manufacturing, or acquiring the planes. He's probably just a regular dude who wants to get colonels and generals off his back for something that's not his fault.

I mentioned this in the AI aviation thread, but fuel temo and jet engines has long been an issue for hot weather operations.
The F-35 likely has limitations that place fuel temp below what usually occurs. AWACS crews have canceled flight because of fuel being too hot.
Well there you go. It's not like this was some completely unforeseen issue that jumped out of the bushes and raped their plane.

Yeah. Non-engineers are going to hate on it, but it's a rather ingeous work around to save space and weight in an aircraft. The problem is that for tacair planes is that the tanks are so small that they will heat up faster then on bigger airframes where is there is more fuel volume. Honestly, of all the myriad of stupid problems the F-35 has had, this one is relatively minor.
It's a good idea, they just should have used their imagination as far as scenarios that could gently caress things up. In this case it happens to be something that is likely to be a common occurrence.

Despite some attempts to destroy them completely there still are pretty decent safety nets in this country, plus charities. Therefore if I catch you stealing my stuff something bad is going to happen to you because you're not going to have a good enough reason.

I love it when TCC idiots justify stealing because someone is going through withdrawal.

Explaining does not equal Excusing. Although trying to figure out whether the OP or following posters understand the difference is always hard to ascertain, and the threads tend to go to poo poo over it.
Around here it certainly is excusing.

gently caress anybody who cries about background checks. I'm fine with "sane" people owning assault weapons but that ought to be determined before you're allowed to purchase one, or transfer it to your dumbass friend. It's really hard to be on the side of pro-gun people when they go and act like a bunch of douchebags after a mass shooting.

Another contributing factor is that the mental health system in this country is in shambles thanks to Reagan defunding it on the right, and "psychiatric victims" morons on the far left. An elderly lady got stabbed to death in a grocery store here last week by a schizophrenic guy who was in and out of jail on a pretty regular basis. Of course nobody wants to pay for facilities to put people like this so they're either in jail for short periods of time, or walking around on the street ready to go off at any time.

I've been holding off on getting a conceal and carry license because I don't want to sit in a class alone with these clowns. I figure I'll wait till my brother turns 21 next year so I have someone to go with. Probably won't carry very often either, I haven't had any experiences in the last 5 years where I think having a gun would have done any good.
