@taketotheskypod That may not have caused the wreck, but surprises aren’t good things on approaches like that. Coming out of the clouds and finding yourself off centerline right there would be startling if you weren’t ready for it.
@taketotheskypod One thing you should know about 04R at KLIT: The ILS localizer is a bit off center, about 200? feet to the left of the runway. The crew may have been aware of that, but if they weren’t, it may have been something of a surprise at minimums on a stormy approach.
@CalebDMTG @Skipper6868 Kamelos (camel) vs. kamilos (rope) .. one of the most egregious translation errors of a translator who was so bad you can literally pick out his screwups throughout the New Testament.
@she_obey@fractalfrogJRT Yeah .. that’s an extreme-home-gunsmithing sort of deal. I built up a lower receiver and put a ready-built upper receiver on it. It wasn’t cheap.
@NaughtyMommy35 I don’t know what you looked like before as this is all I’ve ever seen of you, but you’re definitely hot now. ;) And you look like you’ve been hot for a while. :)
@txsaltymermaid@BMS_Derek@BMS_Billy@BMS_VoiceGuy Bottomless is harder to get away with, because that’s exposing genitals. Which I don’t have an issue with, but some people might. And, unfortunately, the prudes get to prevail on that one. On public property, at least.
@txsaltymermaid@BMS_Derek@BMS_Billy@BMS_VoiceGuy In Texas, topless tends to be legal for all for the most part, especially if no one complains. Even on public property like th beach. Especially when it’s hot outside and shedding clothes is sometimes the best way to cool off.
@txsaltymermaid@BMS_Derek@BMS_Billy@BMS_VoiceGuy However .. the gotcha in this case is it *is* illegal to do it to “alarm” (basically threaten) anyone, which is more of a male problem, or do it in a manner “calculated to cause desire for sexual gratification”.
