jredd23 Link ParentThis is too much. I am going to suggest this article to be included in the Offbeat section. As real as it is and well offbeat as it gets.This is too much. I am going to suggest this article to be included in the Offbeat section. As real as it is and well offbeat as it gets.

I wish things remained a clown show but this is incredibly tragic with what is deadly consequences.

Apparently the pilot had not been paid in 5 months, so he decided to make his stance in no less Christmas break. Here is the video, in Spanish but ok. I love where it cuts, where the guy says, "Why did you let us board!" Story of my Christmas travels this past year! The horror. Didn't want to, I counsel against it but NO!!! I was overruled and what should have been a 5 hour flight turned into a 24 plus hour travel on the way to, and another 18 hours on the way back! Happy 2026 to you all! If we don't like this year, we have an opportunity to change it.

The fun part of being affluent but have no teeth cause you got nobody to help DDS, fair exchange IMO.

I wonder if laws would apply; it's to me like yelling fire in a theater. I am no DA but this to me should be prosecuted. It's bad enough that foreign states etc., are trying to create strife, panic, cheat etc., but when it gets to this local level I would hope that there are consequences to actions that this causes. Doesn't say how it started, but in my opinion, just sharing without validating is to me wrong and should have consequences. If not the people, the platform that allows this sort of thing to happen.

It won't change anything, its not like all of a sudden a lot more people or countries are going to all of a sudden do something that is meaningful about it because a member of this group is walking out. A bigger impact, IMO, would be when people, or in this case an artist make a statement to all in a large stage like this one; be it good or bad that has an impact. This stunt and other similar stunts are childish.

jredd23 LinkBig fan of people who go out of their way to go for the world record title in whatever it is.

Today I found another one: Bungee jump superfan claims two world records after over 2,000 daring leaps
Some of you may be interested in having a world record, here are some ideas:- Curtis Rivers (UK) performed the highest bungee jump when he leapt from a hot air balloon at 4,632 m (15,200 ft) over Puertollano, Spain, in May 2002.
- Nissan France staged the highest car bungee jump from 65 m (213 ft 3 in) for an ad campaign in August 2024.
- The highest bungee jump dive into water was performed by Raymond Woodcock (UK), who dove from 141.73 m (464 ft 11.91 in) at The National Diving & Activity Centre in Chepstow, UK, in June 2015.
- The highest bungee jump on a motorcycle record is currently unclaimed. The minimum requirement is 20 m (65.65 ft).
- The most bungee jumps in one hour title is also currently unclaimed. Someone would have to do at least 19 to win the record.

A really good secret is that we have had a snow storm on the NorthEast part of the USA, however I did find my next build; Autonomous snow blower - the next step in our evolution. Finally, something I can totally see myself buying and if need be building it! If you build it, they will....
