    This thing has killed what? 200 people over the course of a month. Mortality rate roughly 3 percent, which I don't buy because that's based on confirmed cases and God knows how many people had the virus, but were never diagnosed. 

     

    There won't be any doubt when a true threat emerges.

    Nothing but fear porn. All bullshite as usual. I think the Kobe crash did a lot to cure it. Anyway, if you want a real health threat how about pneumonia that offs 50k people a year in the US

    I am of the belief that one does not need playing experience in order to be a successful coach/leader.

     

    Love for, and knowledge of, the game is what's necessary - as well as being able to effectively communicate with the players.

     

    I think women likely enter an NFL coaching opportunity behind the 8-ball, due to some players' pre-existing beliefs and/or skepticism.

     

    It will probably take one female coach of a very successful unit, and (of course) TIME, for them to be more naturally/immediately accepted.

     

    Like any line of work, my hope is for teams to simply hire the best person for the job.  I love seeing this barrier being broken.

    nah.  This is social engineering on full display. You may get lucky and find a women that is adequate but you would have had to pull a affirmative action move to make it work. Move her ahead of thousands of dudes more qualified that have actually been on the front lines. 

    Personally, I could never respect or follow a coach that hadn't been there and experienced it. Womens football or hockey or whatever don't count because that is bad football and bad hockey.

    My favorite part is when he calls the guy a racist. How does he know that the dude's a racist? He can tell by just looking at him!

     

    Of course, the tolerant liberal strikes me as the type to run for the nearest cop crying, were he to be B word slapped.

    He is a white male baby boomer so by default he looks for black children to run over with his F150 or Beamer

    I always hear "He's a dictator" thrown around. What are they referring to? Is is something like "But we have to pass the [health care] bill so that you can find out what's in it....”

    that was forced on us? That kinda sounds more like dictatorship to me.

    In your opinion, is the division in our country a thing to be celebrated and enjoyed or would you like to see less divisiveness?  I ask because you seem to just love the Presidential trolling. 

     

    If one sees the country's division as a problem, they probably should admire his trolling a lot less.   Imo, the President should look to help fix the nation's problems.  Imo, the divisiveness is a big and worsening problem.  Imo, the president should take the lead and change the tone.  Of course if you like the division, it appears that Trump's actions will keep you entertained.

    Kinda like what Barry said when all the Trey Martin crap was going down? He could have diffused it but he poured gas on it. Just like the ST. Louis lie that led to the riots. That's what made Barry a phony fvck. 

    Trump has nothing to divide anything. The only divide is politically. Left wants global communism and Trump doesn't. There's the divide.

  6. I just love how Trump has fun with this stuff. He fvcks with them. Mocking them and they don't even get that they are being taken advantage of by someone much more controlled. How anyone could stay as composed for this long under so much attack by the msm, the dems and even his own party is a testament to his fortitude. It has to frustrate the globalists and their useful idiots so much they can't crack him. I just love watching it.

    If one understands why this video features no married couples with children, the implicit political theology of the current EU becomes clear

    They got their country back. Eliminated an entire layer of bureaucracy/criminals at the same time. Nothing in this video is relevant at all.

    Global warming? No, totally totally disagree. All my favorite scientists say its real. All genuine scientists say its real. The science is easy to understand. They are science people. Reminds me of how the Church and ignorant people in general so dismissed the idea the earth is not at center of universe. Burned people at the stake for it! Conservatives, it is true, need ignorance. They can't run on the truth, so religion, hating science etc. are just part of their political DNA. 

    I don't trust science any more since it's been compromised for the sake of control. So it doesn't mean shite to me. Now I'm more into pattern recognition. I trust my instincts and my own observations more.

    Global warming will almost certainly lead to more tension and perhaps nuclear holocaust. That you find that funny says a lot about you. 

    It's funny because anyone with a free mind and common sense realizes it's all a hoax/scam/ control mechanism. Hell at at this point I'm questioning the existence of nukes and if that kind of holocaust is even possible.

    Uh, you can verify all of those stories and statistics with multiple outlets. But don't let that stop you from smearing schitt all over the walls...

    Pattern awareness. It's all about that. Same shite repeated over an over an over again. Personally I find it funny that sheeple keep buying in. I don't care about stats or the number of outlets. Stats can be fabricated just like anything else. All fake. 

  11. Little actress/troll really showing the true agenda these days. In the end follow the money. It's always about that or control. Wouldn't have anything to do with her upcoming Netflix show "Greta" would it?

    https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/greta-thunberg-trademarks-her-name/

     

    I like this version of Greta much more. She was later spotted at a Trump event and when confronted she admitted it was a big joke and she was mocking the climate lunacy. She actually acknowledges she is an actress.

    At conservative estimates, if the trend holds, the number of confirmed cases would be around 20K by the end of our weekend, with 400-500 deaths, which is still a mortality rate of around 2%. It would also appear that the rise in international cases are not close to the growth seen in China (and still no international deaths), which is very positive, so far.

    A 6th case has been confirmed in the US, in Chicago. This was the first case of human to human transmission (all others had come from China). It was the spouse of the other infected person in Chicago, so they had more than just passing contact.

    Piker! I've been waiting 20 years for Y2K.

    Well, if you want to play the age game. 

    I've been waiting since the 60s for the Russians to nuke us. Then, in the 70's the ozone was deteriorating so fast because of us sinful capitalists living the high life,  we were going to be fried like a sunny side up egg. I think the clock on that was like 15 years or something. 

    And when was acid rain a thing? I know well before Y2K. So much fear porn over my life I forget the timelines.

    170 deaths out of 7,811 cases. That’s a 2.2% fatality rate. Not much different than the influenza outbreaks. 

    I think the cure for Coronavirus has been found. That would be the Kobe Bryant media feeding frenzy. Stay tuned more entertainment coming next week! Another hoax, celebrity death or misstep or maybe time for another bogey man episode. Terrorist attack or maybe that little ugly N.Korean guy will pull a stunt. Who knows either way I got my popcorn.

    This is what happens when people not familiar with the way these things work start judging them.

    Not you, but whoever posted what you referred to.

     

    Helicopters are a special sub set of aviation, and they frequently use ground reference for navigation.

    Special VFR is an alternative for them that allows them to fly as long as they stay clear of clouds and have a very low visibility requirement.

    They are so low that they rarely get into the regular system.

    I fact they rarely fly using IFR rules and clearances.

    Some never do for their entire helo career.

    Areas that have a high degree of helo traffic, for whatever reason, come up with their own procedures and agreements for these types of things, and helo corridors are built to facilitate it. New York and LA are two of the most obvious.

    These types of things involve police, sight-seeing, personal transport, power line inspection and a host of other things.

     

    Having this guy, who is under special VFR, and that never changes, navigate by using highways or other ground based points is not unusual for this area.

    What he should have done is land at Van Nuys and let them Uber it to the practice site.

     

     

     

     

    Good insight thanks!

    Yeah, thats a fair point too.  A friend of mind brought the notion of what if something happened to the pilot, like a stroke or heart attack and it just all happened so fast?  What if he lost consciousness almost immediately?  

     

    A close friend almost died a couple years ago when he was driving and had sudden cardiac arrest causing him to immediately lose consciousness and his car go off the road and hit a sign.  He got lucky there was an off duty officer who witnessed it and got to him immediately and resuscitated him.  He ended up having a 2nd bout of full cardiac arrest as he was being loaded into the ambulance and took a couple days before he woke.  Looked bleak until then as they had no idea yet if he suffered brain damage or the extent of the damage if so.  Turns out, the off duty officer being there ended up being the difference between life and death.

     

    So yeah, thats a good point you make, but the descent also still seems awfully like the helicopter was out of control and falling from the sky.  They also seemed to hit a relatively flat part of ground at the elevation they were at as opposed to flying into an edge of a mountain.  Feels like either his instruments failed him, some kind of equipment failure, or maybe something just suddenly happened to the pilot based on how the reports I heard the copter was descending.

     

    Again, I am definitely no aviation expert...just at first look it just seems like the descent indicated something more than a pilot error to me.  

    On another forum, I was reading some pilots going back and forth. Like you I am no aviation expert. What stuck out to me while listening to ATC instructing the pilot was for him to follow highways to navigate. #5 and #118 for example. One of the pilots who I believe knows what he is talking about thought that if the conditions are that bad where you are relying on highways as navigation, then you should land immediately and call a limo. 

  17. "At this point, I broke down in tears.

    "Everyone was just standing staring at us. The whole thing was disgusting."

    No. It's not disgusting. It's reality finally hitting home after decades of delusion. Quit being a slob and dragging your daughters down with you.

    Too big for business class but "moved to economy?"  WTF kind of measurements did they take?  UPS or FedEX would be happy to take them.  Not too big to stick an airbill on.

    Not sure about that. I think these ones should go in a container and travel by sea.

    This is the main reason I feel like some sort of equipment failure has to be involved given that sounds like the it was falling out of the sky more than being "flown" that way.  But I am not aviation expert by any means, just how it reads to me.  

    If you listen to the radio conversation between the pilot and air traffic control there was no indication of any mechanical issues going on. Seemed like pretty calm and I guess routine banter until it went silent.
