Uh-oh, something's on fire on the runway at Haneda airport now. Looks like an airliner might have crashed. What a start to the year...

quote:

A Japan Airlines plane was in flames as it landed on a runway at Tokyo's Haneda airport on Tuesday evening.

Footage on broadcaster NHK showed flames coming out of the windows of the aircraft and beneath it. The runway was also set alight.

NHK, citing authorities, said the plane may have collided with another aircraft after landing at Haneda. There are passengers on board.

It also reported that the plane, JAL 516, had taken off from Hokkaido.

That's the most comprehensive link I've seen because it was usually just linked with the video of one of the hasidic Jews just popping up out of the drat sewer grate. One thing not in that link:

It didn't penetrate my brain why those tunnels would be a big deal, until I thought "hmm gravity might override a hasidic belief that pillars and walls of a building are haram"

did anyone tell the idf about hamas digging these tunnels?

So Hunter Biden showed up at a oversight hearing today.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/10/politics/hunter-biden-contempt-vote-committees/index.html

He got up and left when MTG was starting to talk. Mace said he "had no balls" at one point after pointing out his white privilege. In the video when Hunter's lawyer is talking to the media in the hallway you can overhear someone calling Hunter a coward for leaving.

I also saw some tweets on the Reddits saying that the GOP might be angry with the current speaker and we might get a third round of chaos soon.

why are they saying he has no balls when they have shown pictures of his balls on giant boards in the senate?

My girlfriend's 17 year old is heavily leaning towards enlisting. His dad who is still a Marine and myself are more or less ok with it, but we've both told him to get into something that will be useful in the real world when he gets out. We'll see how it goes if he actually does it.

if they absolutely insist on being military push them to ROTC. life as an officer for any branch is >>>>>>>>>> any enlisted that is not crabdad. also they will have a degree they can fall back on if they do not career it. making the gov pay for your education before you are in is way better than doing the enlisted route.

I hear you and even agree with the way you feel but this is 100% not an "economy" problem. This is about housing policy in your specific area and if you want to fix it you need to go to your local council every week and scream at them to build more housing and get all your friends and neighbors to do the same. This is 100% a politics problem; we can afford to build more housing and are choosing not to, either because a minority might move in (right) or a developer might make a dollar (left).

the area i live is a giant planned community full of houses. there are some low income apartments as well as "regular" priced ones along side vast tracks of single family homes and schools that go from kindergarten to community college.

anyone making minimum wage or slightly above can maybe afford the low income apartments, with a 1 year or longer wait time.

build more housing is not always the answer


edit : oh and the "value" of these houses has somehow doubled in the past 16 years. 350k build price condos are now 600-700k and 700k single family homes are now being sold at 1.3m or higher. these are conservative numbers i've seen fliers from agents claiming sold value much higher

Wouldn't building more apartments, particularly mixed income apartments, help address the waiting list issue you mentioned?

The area you described sounds a lot like either Reston, VA or Columbia, MD. Both have struggled to handle the massive demand for housing in recent years. Columbia has approved more high density housing in the emerging downtown area, but Reston seems to have paused it.

its actually quite a few apt complexes in the area. this whole area was planned out as far back as the early 80s, my aunt did some of the title work for the area.

this is in the east bay. housing and rent prices have been absolutely nuts here for a very long time

Looks like the Texas National Guard is defying the supreme court and not letting the border patrol remote the razor wire as ordered.

Why isn't the Biden administration taking control of the Texas NG in response? If I was in the Texas NG I would be worried about being guilty of following an unlawful order, but maybe the Texas NG is full of chuds.

For build more houses not to be the answer, there would have to be a low occupancy rate in the area. It does not sound like this is the case.

cant build more in an area that is covered in housing already. this whole area has no open land that can be built on anymore.

Aside from the humane option of not executing anyone not convicted of documented corruption, seems like we could have some fun by letting prisoners choose their own execution method if a doctor is reasonably sure it would be lethal. Want to sit on top of a few tons of ammonium perchlorate as it cooks off? We let them choose the last meal, so why not.

Its like the military's special. Got a cold/flu? Too Bad! Here is 1600mg of Ibuprofen/8hr, 1200mg Guaifenesin/12hr, 60mg Dextromethorphan/6hr, and 120mg pseudoephedrine/12 hr! You'll be fine!

1600mg of motrin/12 hours is just trying to kill your kidneys.

DXM, Mucinex and real sudafed is probably the best you can do for a cold? If you're really clogged up afrin works wonders for me but as a reminder they are not kidding about the 3 day limit thing.

i was coughing directly in my docs face with an obvious cold and poo poo in my lungs and was given motrin with no option for anything else. navy medicine is the best!
