Well, it's probably cool if you're a lawyer looking to cash in on a new market. Not divorce, just uprooting lives. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

I will reply in the Trump Implosion thread since the there is an ongoing discussion of this topic there. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

Its typical cruising speed is 561mph. The sound barrier is 767mph, but it didn't actually have a sonic boom. |

I'm surprised it was built so tolerate that much speed. Lots of stress on the wings. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

No more stress. The 801mph was ground speed. Air speed would have still been the planes normal 561mph. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

| reno Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 58 Posts: 1384 | This whole story about 3 buckets of radioactive uranium on display at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center is crazy. But to me, the craziest part of the story is that after disposing of the uranium, rather than dispose of the empty buckets at a hazardous waste facility, they brought the empty buckets back to the Visitor Center. "Hey man, I need my empty buckets back, cause Home Depot charged me $7.99 for those things!" |
