  2. Last month the story was about a "few" remains, now 270+ have been confirmed and possibly into the thousands. "The Air Force dumped the incinerated partial remains of at least 274 American troops in a Virginia landfill, far more than the military had acknowledged, before halting the secretive practice three years ago, records show." "This week, after The Post pressed for information contained in the Dover mortuary’s electronic database, the Air Force produced a tally based on those records. It showed that 976 fragments from 274 military personnel were cremated, incinerated and taken to the landfill between 2004 and 2008."
  3. There is so much negative news blasted at us everyday that we sometimes become numb hearing about, this story has me physically angry and my stomach hurts...how could we as a service do such a thing.
  4. Fucking SHAMEFUL! https://news.yahoo.com/remains-274-us-troops-dumped-landfill-report-081234306.html
  5. He gets kicked of an American Airlines flight and turns it into a rant about the flight crew... https://simply-showbiz.com/blog/archives/14322 Apparently Mr Prima Donna was asked to turn off his phone and he did not comply...according to Baldwin's camp he simply took a little too long to turn off the phone and was subsequently kicked off the plane which led to him tweeting the following: "Flight attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving." "Last flight w American. Where retired Catholic school gym teachers from the 1950's find jobs as flight attendants." The real story is a bit more revealing..."some of the other passengers and the flight crew have revealed that in addition to playing the game he was also yapping away on his phone, and after being asked repeatedly to turn the phone off since the plane was leaving the gate, he pitched a diva fit and started slamming the bathroom doors, punching the bathroom walls, and basically acting a hot mess, which is what really got him kicked off the flight – Fellow passenger (and non-celeb) Steve Weiss tells the NY Post that “He got up, threw his papers on the floor and stormed into the bathroom, slammed the door closed, beat on the wall and then came back." I thought this stupid fuck was going to leave the country.
  6. The BSC is a corrupt mechanism that ruins the game. Bama had their chance, time for all the SEC idiots to smell some reality and fairness.

  8. Holy Grim Reaper...maybe you should have taken an assignment to the Pentagon so they could shut that down too! Thanks for your service.
  9. I always preferred the "they replaced the airspeed indicator with a calendar" joke better. Whats the big deal?
  10. A little late to the party considering all the P models will soon be in airparks and the boneyard.
  11. Somewhat disagree...yes it is another map, but I would rather see more features, although the train blasting through Zombies is kinda cool.
  12. looks Like Patti is being sued by someone else for aggressive behavior...she made a toddler vomit! https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2011/11/15/patti-labelle-sued-for-allegedly-causing-toddler-to-vomit-out-fear/
  13. Ummmm....They are not the only ones doing it.... https://maps.google.c...=h&z=18&vpsrc=6 You will be surprised when you scroll out and see where it is.
  14. Almost put this in the WTF thread, but I think it deserves its own. Prophetic words from the Liberal Anti-War Law Professor and an enlightening view of his opinion of U.S. service members..."I think it is shameful that it is perceived as legitimate to solicit in an academic institution for support for men and women who have gone overseas to kill other human beings." https://abovethelaw.com/2011/11/law-professor-objects-to-solicitations-to-help-our-troops-in-afghanistan/
  15. Sort of...Govt workers in the NCR used to get up to $230 a month towards mass transit, but they never paid you in cash, instead, they gave you metro coupons. Some fools used to try and sell them which is a big no-no. They changed the program two months ago and now each month you file a claim and they load the funds onto your metro card. It is a mess because it is only good for one mode of travel (Sometimes I take Metro, usually an express bus), but you have to sign up for one or the other. Stay late (happens a lot), and miss the bus and you are forces to take the Metro at your own expense. The metro has gotten expensive...close to $15.00 a day with parking. More than anything it is supposed to encourage the use of mass transit.
  16. Release the HOUNDS!
  17. No, it is not unbelievable, it is unforgivable.
  18. Pandefuckingmonium!
  19. Judge - "You are charged with a speeding infraction, how do you plead? Me - "Deny" (you have three options "Accept", "Accept with explanation", or "Deny"). Judge - "What is your testimony?" Me - Handed Judge a diagram with trig function solving the beam spread, "Your honor, as you can see from the picture, given a five degree beam at 100', the beam width is 8.8' and there are clearly two cars in the beam". Judge - Shook her skull back and forth and said "you are absolutely correct, the state cannot say beyond a reasonable doubt which vehicle is speeding, case dismissed". Masshole...
  20. Hearing this morning, case dismissed in 6.9 seconds.
  21. My uninformed opinion, but I think you guys are WAY off. The price increase is what most are pissed about, especially considering they had a 20% increase just a few months before the most recent one of 60% . This company had a cult following, partially because they were innovative in delivering content, but mostly because they developed a rapport with their customer base. In the past when they made an unwise decision the customers spoke out and the company listened, a rare thing this day and age and it served to cement that company status with the customers. Hastings broke faith with the price hike for two reasons: First, very poor spin, the used the metaphor of a latte..."we are only raising the price of our service one latte", that did not sit well with the customer base. Second, hubris, the attitude since the price hike has been "I don't care what the customer base thinks, I am going to raise the price and end DVD service....screw you"...In Hastings most recent interview he likens the people who are upset to the "Tea Party", I kid you not, go read the interview that came out yesterday. This guy has completely lost touch or he is purposely trying to wreck the company. Another key piece of info, check the insider trading for the past six months, Hastings has done nothing but sell, even he does not believe in this company anymore. Will the DVD business die, most certainly, but it is not dead yet and to turn your back on it now is to walk away from a cash cow and a loyal customer base. Netflix can say streaming is the future, but their online catalog is crap and everyone knows it. Mix in the loss of the Starz deal and they don't look any better than Hulu or Amazon which both have a desire to tap this market. The dark horse is Blockbuster. Dish Network bought them for pennies on the dollar and they are putting together a serious challenge to Netflix, especially if Dish backs them with enough cash to expand the online portion...how prophetic would it be if Blockbuster rose from the flames like a phoenix to crush Netflix at their own game? The real lesson and one that should play to the Air Force as well is the impact of social media. The bloggers and facebook had a field day with story. Recent issues in the Air Force like reflective belts and the VSP got some traction, but if another misstep gets anywhere neat the press this story did, it could have real impact on the way we do things.
