    The never ending chat thread, chat about anything That your up too

    I'm picking up what you're putting down. I spent a lot of time cutting down some marsh bush that had planted itself on the property. It was a small shrub by the time I got to it. The chainsaw made quick work of it, but then it has to be broken down and bagged. There was no breeze, and plenty of...

    Typical news media this morning, he's in federal custody facing 13 NYPD charges. Say do what? The feds are locking people up on behalf of the NYPD now?

    Boat overturns near Liberty Island killing an infant and a woman

    14 people on a 22ft boat. If only they had taken a boating safety class all of this could have been avoided. Personal rants aside, how tragic for these people. Prayers for the families and those lost. 🙁

    I do, but I think she's starting to get suspicious. I'm running out of friends with boat problems. The one has an engine in the shop, and another is still remeasuring all of his layouts for his radar install since someone pointed out the word FRONT on the radome. It's too G-D hot to do...

    Somebody help me. She's got it back on again. This time it's the plus size edition. One thing I can say for certain is they won't be serving salad at the reception. 😲

    That's what it was. They had an unsecured mass in the train to simulate a passenger load and it slid forward and killed the test operator. Sadly, he was probably just there in case the automation failed. Poor guy.

    the "Headline That Caught My Attention or the WTF" thread

    Well, if statistics show, and I think they do, that the majority of accidents are caused by pilot error then you could make the case. They are pushing for single pilot aircraft which also provide for ground control in case of pilot incapacitation or hijacking. I think I'd take my chances with...

    the "Headline That Caught My Attention or the WTF" thread

    The problem is less about actual safety than about public perception. We accept a certain amount of carnage from human operated vehicles, but will people tolerate accidents caused by a computer? However, the problems with driver recruitment are ever growing. Getting a CDL is challenging (for a...

    I've been saying this for a long time while everyone is talking about self-driving cars. The first place you're going to see this technology is commercial trucks. Interesting that the union is fighting it, but they can't supply enough human drivers to the industry.

    Mrs Avenger has been binge watching Say Yes To The Dress for several days now. Thank gawd she finally put on ANYTHING else, so we're watching reruns of Kitchen Nightmares UK. I was about to grab a spoon from the kitchen and toss a coin as to which to do first. Use the handle to pierce my...

    Spock never took Civics class in the United States. If you can't see the collectivist propaganda in that you didn't take civics either. Ot at least you didn't understand it. BTW, the sequel stated the opposite.

    Where am I

    One thing it shows is how much my phone is spying on me. I've posted the picture in a couple of places, but other than New London and attack submarine I didn't have any other information. And now I get a story in my feed about that exact boat. I don't usually get press releases from the US Navy.
