Carteret posted:It's the ring you see around the cockpit. The drivers helmets were unprotected until a few years ago, and people were REALLY against it because of "tradition" Toxic masculinity as a prop for capitalism, same as in football (NFL flavor) or mining or construction or any other "manly" industry. Worrying about safety makes us look wimpy and costs the investors money and is bad for business

shame on an IGA posted:pretty sure there was an incident in the 60s or 70s where someone was killed by an F1 driver's flying severed head. I don't even follow F1 but stumbled across the death of Tom Pryce in a Wikipedia wormhole and it's one that sticks with you. He - through no fault of his own - took a fire extinguisher to the dome at 170mph. The extinguisher flew over the grandstand and damaged a car in the parking lot. The unfortunate race marshal who was holding the fire extinguisher had to be identified by process of elimination.

quote:HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. — A day after a gunman opened fire on a Fourth of July parade in this city, local officials painted a picture Tuesday of a lone shooter who planned the attack for weeks, dressed in “women’s clothing” to conceal his identity and blended in with the terrified crowd to escape. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/07/05/highland-park-parade-shooting-live-updates/ I'm sure the discourse around this factoid will be completely balanced and not at all be spun against trans people as quickly as possible

So did something specific trigger the wave of resignations, or did one minister call time and then the rest suddenly found their spines? The no-confidence vote was a month ago. As a colonial I am aware that BoJo is taking a lot of heat for his "work-related" covid cocktail parties but it's not like people are just now, today, realizing that he's a shitbag, I assume.

Gosh golly what is the point of a trial now? Your honor, I propose my client be released on account of having irrefutably proved his guilt, sparing the prosecution the need to do anything. In other news, I found the backstory to the "Anne Frank had white privilege" tweet and apparently it started because people thought the term "PAWG" was racist and detoured into doxing and threatening a pet pig? I think the brain worms took a W here. https://twitter.com/naebumaye/status/1545932963912851458?t=qianZFrD_IkFJNiRdDb5Ng&s=19

That Works posted:Coming from Louisiana to Oklahoma and then Texas, Oklahoma did not feel like part of the south at all. East / coastal Texas felt like it a bit though. Spending a few weeks in Ohio felt way more like being in Oklahoma again so I always just lumped OK in with the midwest, ie >95% white, lovely food, same local pride in ignorance etc etc. Yeah OK is not the South at all. TX is as far west as Houston/Dallas (more so Dallas than Houston IMO), but not so much by the time you reach Austin/San Antonio.

I've flown United and Sotuhwest extensively recently and not really had any problems. Then again I fly out of Houston which are main hubs for both. Connection? What's that, never heard of it  Meanwhile the one single one-way flight I tried to book on American got canceled.
