  1. No escape. We are getting a high of -14° on Wednesday. 230 miles away @ Southern Tip of L.Michigan. Your a little more protected on windward side of Lake (G.Bay) than here. Rolling geography and Lake.
  2. Depends. How does a "look" smell? What would lead you to believe they smell just by their "look." Did the passengers and crew feel the same way... And why? 10 Anti-Semitic Myths: https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/2617031/jewish/10-Anti-Semitic-Myths.htm #3/10: "The Jewish Smell Since the Jews were associated so closely with the devil, they were believed to share his characteristics, notably his smell of sulfur. If Jews did not smell of it, Christians claimed they used Christians’ blood to rid themselves of it. Indeed, the belief about a unique Jewish odor was so powerful that it not only persisted throughout the ages, but also became the object of study by Nazi scientists." Diet? Maybe the other posters that tried to derail this thread were right about smelling like gefilte/Asian carp: "Asparagus and other foods Asparagus is notorious for making urine smell like sulfur after you eat it. This is because our bodies convert the asparagusic acid it contains into sulfur-containing chemicals. These chemicals leave the body through urine, causing the distinct sulfur smell. Eating large amounts of onions or garlic can also cause this odor. What you can do Avoiding these foods is the only way to keep the odor from occurring. However, you can reduce the odor’s severity by drinking plenty of water before and during meals that include these foods. This can dilute the chemicals in the urine and prevent or reduce the sulfur smell..." https://jewishtimes.com/67293/you-should-know-39/arts_life/
  3. ?? Where did you read that @? The way it is written in the https://abc7.com link it (sniff testers) appears to have happened right after they deplaned. And... Did they get new threads? Who drove them to store? Baby without a carseat?? ALSO: Your link in "Boulder Thread" (locked) works. You just have to copy-n-paste it into the URL box. It is not actively hyperlinking. Probably the way it is set up. FWIW. Just like the employees @ American Airlines, not doing their job, laying down the Stink Law. People just not creative, always want the easy way out. https://guacamoley.com/lol/2019/01/25/geologist-gets-the-ultimate-revenge-on-her-drunken-neighbors-after-they-block-her-car-in-with-a-giant-boulder/?utm_content=inf_10_3742_2&utm_campaign=GTAK&tse_id=INF_4be7f12020d711e9b433ab68d22425b2 Just copy-n-paste that. There is probably something in that URL??? EDIT: Your link works, it's going hyper for this post.
  4. Are there people on Pikes Peak?
  5. Wow... Never heard that. /smh And Coach Q sits out there... Not following that. But, Sabres seem like a Young 'Hawks situation. Legacy coach, underachieving, etc...
  6. Agree. But one last thing: The reason is because the founders didn't trust the people (even if they were elite landowning white males). It worked the exact opposite in 2016. The EC didn't have nuts to pull trigger on the "safety valve." You gotta take it with grain of salt. Look @ context of the thread. Don't keep score on what of your's is getting wacked vs. what others have let slide. Not a pi ssing contest. Okay, maybe it is a peeing contest between K.Smallies & Me! ?
  7. You would have thought they would have treated a beachhead like attacking a fortress. No? Just getting there and doing something is akin to going up to the walls of a fort, regrouping then trying to breach. That's insane, right? What let then think differently? A big wide sandy beach to stand around out in the open? Oh... Did anyone mention: On war comedy front:
  8. Is it not on topic. They are all controversial. But anyway, sorry. Will do.
  9. The shear amount of people that either agree with him or not. More people (I know that's not what wins) disagree with him. Yet, upside down elections are fine if you attempt to not make irrelevant the majority of people. He won, that's okay. But he has to acknowledge the fact that it's upside down. More people disagree with him. He needs to accept that and try to establish a mandate with the people. He's the Bills going into the 4th, 2020 with a 3 point lead against the Pats** and he's throwing bombs against the wind with a Tyrod Taylor arm. No way it holds. Trump still lost the popular vote. Even know he won, that still means he has to work at it.
  10. I know... But Trump so immoral... Cloaked with him racing to the "Lock Her Up", "She is evil" bit... ...It's usually the jealous, overbearing spouse that is committing the real deal, cheating... etc... ...We should have seen this a mile down the road. The real criminal usually points out who they think are the crooks, to take heat off them. Huh? The minority is ruling and they are ramming their agenda down the majorities throat. At least work from the middle. Build a mandate. Controversial topic: I think Americans sell out way too much! No less than 2 mill for me. ??
  11. In this day and age? Sneaky is better than a viral post on the internet. Get them off the plane, lie, cheat, steal... Get them to neutral turf where they don't hold an advantage. Yeah... I don't know what I am talking about. No. No I am not in over my head. Like I am suppose to believe you? Maybe you get your kicks treating people like dirt. That ain't right. "Gee, Mr & Mrs. Such and Such... Come with us off the plane." [Once off the plane]: "You smell, BYE!" [DOOR SLAMS!] "Hey wait, can we have our stuff?" "You can pick it up in Detroit, bye, take one for the team! Remember the group! Safety first... Ohh and take a shower @ the Airport Marriott!" Great business model you are running there Cappy Sherpa. Who knows what is really going on? Sh*t hits fan when they bump people to move crew. Who's going to tell truth now. Go underground. Lie. Face it, the industry sucks nuts... Put everybody in a hermetically sealed pod and fly them on a drone beam, that's what we are getting too. ?
  12. Crimean War /American Civil War. Modern with the advent of say machine guns, trenches, etc...
  13. I don't know. Of course you do. Like I am suppose to believe some arrogant schlep on the internet. Thanks... LoL... You deny they will get a lawyer involved and there will be a settlement or push on with discovery? These are people's lives the airlines are effing with. I know, it's all in the name of safety and thinking of the group first. Maybe they did smell. Maybe they didn't... Like you know. Just kick them off the plane and do your damn job and get my stuff... Or pay me for all new stuff. People wait on the tarmac for 4,6,8,12 hours and can't leave... We've all heard the horror stories. I don't think it would take that long. They want to be the heavy over someone's sense of smell then get lazy after they lay down the law. Again, what's next? Getting booted for a "cologne dump" because the person is on pins and needles that traveling makes them smell. Sorry... Not every pleb out there is privileged with a pass to the Admiral's Lounge. People travel, they smell. Look at the story Johnny told above. There's gotta be more to this story.
  14. Some times too much maintenance, over greasing, etc... Is actually worse than what the status quo was, under maintained. Maybe a moto-head analogy: You can only bore the block so much before you throw a piston. Guess what... We threw a piston. Would have better to just leave the damn engine alone. The traditional swamp now looks like the Sahara Desert to what's been created. Be careful what You wish for.
  15. Here's a thought. Maybe there was no air marshall on that plane. Could they have got one on the plane next morning... Say someone was freaked out by the religion thing... Made the whole story up. If a lawyer gets involved, can they get the manifests for both flights... See who was on it? Interview people, get them to testify? I think American hushes this up and pays them if they start pushing with an attorney. I am sure the ADL is already on it. I changed my son's diaper on the floor by the bulkhead @ 35,000 feet. Yet this was 2000. Now... LoL... I wouldn't dare.
  16. Well... If I did show up worse... It would be kind of their fault, they got all my stuff. I ain't no beauty queen and can work wonders with the same smelly clothes. What's a shower going to do? Now, fair enough. I get with "the thinking for the group" mentality. We are a very individualistic society. No double down. Next thing that will happen, somebody will get removed for wearing too much cologne, fragrance... These are people's lives they are effing with. Have some empathy.
  17. 1" another 3" coming with next "Clipper." We only average about 40" a year. 82" was record was Chicago record back in 1978.
  18. I get it. I am not saying take off. Safety, order, expeditious. Guess what takes the hit first. People complaining about smell will just abuse it more. They think it's really bad, let them wait. Do the job right, get their stuff off. Of course... But who's to say the other passengers didn't start it... And get everybody worked up, including the crew. ...Now anybody can toss accusations around get somebody tossed, close the door and still be on schedule. Just be careful if someone comes for you. But you are big shot pilot... You'll pull professional courtesy of course. Different for the plebs you serve. All I am saying is show some empathy, compassion. Get their stuff off. You don't wipe your azz halfway. They weren't a problem in morning with same smelly clothes... If that was me... I would came on flight in morning reeking to high heaven. Baby... Forget about the diaper. Speaking of that, who bought the extra diapers. Those things are outrageous!
  19. My wife was on a Greyhound Bus 30 years ago... Going south on I-57 from Chicago in blizzard. A dude speaking Spanish starts having a panic attack... Wants to get out in middle if blizzard, white-out. Bus driver calms him down... Guess who the man sits next to? You guessed it, my wife... Then he starts taking off his shoes to clean them. My wife she said just pressed herself against window and prayed getting to Champaign, IL in one piece!!! LoL... Not really. Just a funny story. They should have kicked them off, but to keep everyone "honest"... Make them all wait... Get their stuff off. It would stop this: "Ooo you're stinky BS" and leave it for the truly disruptive.
  20. I don't think they do know what they are doing. Being expeditious and getting the plane off in time should take a hit. It's only smell... What did people do on trains 80 years ago before deodorant? Boo hoo... They want to complain... At least show some compassion and get their ***** off the plane. Sounds like one noisey passenger.
  21. I think he was pushing for it @ Yalta [EDIT:Oops Yalta was 1945] ... To keep the Soviets in check from the East. Gallipoli was the first modern amphibious landing I believe. Maybe a redo, vindication? @DC Tom this is off of memory... I am not too far off base with Churchill pushing for another Gallipoli front to keep Soviets in check? EDIT: @ the Tehran Conference, 1943. My bad.
  22. Come on! Something more was going on. Cops lie. Yeah... Right... They were playing "Rooskie Roulette." Only the Trumpster plays that game.
  23. Churchill wanted D-Day there instead of Normandy... If I remember the history correctly.
  24. American will end up paying for not letting expeditious take a "hit"... And every passenger will incur the cost. I know it's hard to remove the luggage. That's why I said it. Living without your stuff already knee deep in stank isn't easy either. Obviously, the smell wasn't a problem the next day even with the smelly clothes... The passengers have a choice. Deal with it or wait. In the end, the airlines will pass the cost on to all passengers. They will settle for big bucks now because they can't wait. That cost is passed on. Either your time or your money. They gave vouchers for food... What the hell is a voucher? Is that like cash. You really think they gave them cash to go shopping @ TJ Maxx? LoL... I wonder what these "vouchers" looked like? Maybe they did smell... But do the job right. Now, everybody waits. Like from the ATC training manual with regard to the Gubermint Shutdown: "...When Klontz was a supervisor at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, he said if there were too many people out sick, they would adjust the rate of departures to make the workload more manageable. "'Safe, orderly and expeditious,' that’s what it says in our initial training order," said Klontz. "'Safe' is always going to be first, 'orderly' is going to be second, but 'expeditious' may take a hit."..."
