@RT_com hey, that looks like fun! Is it part of the cruise's scheduled entertainment?

@interesting_aIl A person would need to be incredibly stupid to trust an "estimate" from a politician.

@therichfromca reminds me of how John Edwards used his family portraits to gain sympathy. Didn't work out.

@MatrixMysteries most city employees that are unionized follow the same behavior for the last year prior to retirement- since retirement is based on the last year's earnings, they maximize overtime in order to spike the pension check.

@CristeraAbigail likely true. The US supreme court ruled porn is OK in the 1971 case "I am curious , yellow" , right after publication of " limits to growth" by the club of rome. It is consistent with the court using porn to reduce population.

@MikeLevin there is another problem. On the canadian side, just under the exit ramp , there are cooling towers for a power plant that usually create a huge amount of fog, likely will cause a lot of accidents on the exit ramp.

@17QStorm there is something to be said about fighting fire with fire.

@allfamilypharma Thats a good price- in Idaho the pharmacies charge $75 for a 30 day supply.

@BabyD1111229 well, one way to escape the ELSAG is to drive an old car whose TPMS tire pressure monitoring batteries are dead, and do not wear a fitbit or bring along any computerized device. The extreme is to drive an old diesel car while disconnecting the battery after startup.

@TheSCIF hmmm. Reminds me of the Ron Brown plane crash, one flight attendant survived and was filmed by a local TV crew walking around, but when she was transported to a hospital by a special forces helicopter she was dead from her throat being slashed.

@azkellyk_ they already stole the funds around 1985 and the monies paid thru paroll deductions just go into the general fund.

@BrianEntin There are technical means to reduce it. The coolng fans could use low noise "elephant ear" blades. The air inlets and exhaust of the gas turbines can reduce the high frequency noise with absorptive fiberglass fiber silencers. The permit should have limited noise to 5dBa increase.

@Godfatherparte2 big mike used to play basketball- I wonder where that basketball is.

@tv_ir_X yeah right, any day now. Sounds just like the threats issued by Mel Gibson re: hollywood pedophilia. All talk and no action, implies the info is being used as blackmail.
