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.

jredd23 Link ParentI can't imagine the pay is great and given how expensive that area of the world it is, can't be easy to live near by.

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

The alleged perpetrator named Rudolph, we believe, was politely asked to leave the store. After refusing, deer was pushed out!

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.

Comment on RAM is so expensive, Samsung won’t even sell it to Samsung in ~tech
jredd23 Link ParentRecently I was in the market to do some home PC upgrade and had similar run-ins with cost. I passed on it but I didn't look deep into the why - talk about eye opening! Wow.Recently I was in the market to do some home PC upgrade and had similar run-ins with cost. I passed on it but I didn't look deep into the why - talk about eye opening! Wow.

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.

Another one that I am right now recalling is Ronaldo's.Friday is the new statue day! The weird thing I find about statues is that they don't look anything like the person.

About two years ago I decided that I was to stop drinking coffee and drink tea; you think stopping smoking is hard, just wait. Anyway, did it - took me over 3 months by just forcing myself to it. After the 3rd month, I was comfortable and almost natural to do. You can look at machines, approach etc., whatever! just do it - you will find your way. The funniest thing, after doing it for half a year or so I drank a stout beer. Finally understood why Irish people like that stuff! Can't describe it with words but yeap, drinking tea lead me to discover the love of stout beer. Anyway, am back to coffee and my larger beers.
Just joining my voice to this post! Angry, sad and if you haven't, at least if you are an American, call your federal Rep and Senators and demand that this be investigated. I wish things remained a clown show but this is incredibly tragic with what is deadly consequences.
