Typical. They jump in here, spew some MSM talking points, then once they are challenged and even shown proof that their talking points are fake, they disappear.
Another point, they love rattling off about "white nationalist" but can't tell you what that is, or who that is. Then there is the tired old charge of "racist" thrown about against anyone who disagrees with them.
I learned my lesson. I gave my protest vote to Ross Perot in 1992. In fact 20 million of us did. He still didn’t carry a single state, so Bill Clinton won with 43% of the popular vote. Let that sink in.
Now I didn't say you had a "snowflake" garage. I said you have a "modern" garage, which even you said you couldn't fit your cars in it.
You Floridians don’t even have garages, do you?
Fortunately, I have a fairly large 2-car garage. I have turned down buying several houses that my wife loved because it had one of those "modern" 19x19 garages. That isn't even deep enough to call a good one-car garage, unless you have compact cars. Mine is about 25x26 and I feel I need at least 3 more feet deep and 5 more feet wide (minimum).
I doubt this was an off the cuff comment. He is probably using information that he was briefed on and I suspect it just might be better information than we have. So he was told about flight control systems, etc and then made the observation that it's a bad thing if a pilot can get blocked from giving the command inputs.
As I've read about this, it almost sounds like a "pilot fighting autopilot trim" type issue.
I wonder why Asechrest, who is usually pretty fair, left out that middle piece that joined the two thoughts. The way he showed it, it sounded like Trump was being contradictory, and those that form opinions without reading would think just that.
As we have already seen here.
Well, as you liberals are so fond of saying; "Things evolve". Back then a (single) car in EVERY garage would have been almost unimaginable. Today, my wife and I need a 3-car garage for the two of us.
"Pilots are no longer needed, but rather computer scientists from MIT," Trump wrote in a morning tweet. "I see it all the time in many products. Always seeking to go one unnecessary step further, when often old and simpler is far better."
...
"I don't know about you, but I don't want Albert Einstein to be my pilot," Trump wrote in a second post on Twitter. "I want great flying professionals that are allowed to easily and quickly take control of a plane!"

You do make some good points,
but I am still concerned. Especially when we have self professed socialists both in office, and considering a run for the oval office.
I have also seen way too many "news" articles with titles like "10 myths about socialism" where they try to dispel the fear and gloss over all the failures. I have seen quite a few of those types of articles lately.
I'm pretty sure that the socialist movement in this country will burn itself out in a few years, but I thought the same thing about the global warming alarmists too.
Among millennial and Gen Z respondents—roughly, adults ages 18 to 38—a full 78.9 percent agreed that "government should allow private insurance." And 67.1 percent agreed that high earnings are a "result of free enterprise." (Among poll respondents of all ages, these numbers were slightly higher: 71.2 percent and 86.5 percent, respectively.)
[snip]
So, once again, a poll heralded as a big socialist spike actually shows more ambiguous results, with strong support both for "socialism" and for private enterprise.

Does your VHF have 2 power options (low power/high power)? I have a Uniden and that's one of the features.
So what's had me occupied lately:
Updating the electronics suite on my boat. 2 Flatscreen touch displays (12 inch and 8 inch), network box, AIS transponder (automatic identification system), NMEA2000 backbone, XM weather module. I also installed a VHF radio with DSC (digital selective calling).
Next project is engines/generator service to prepare for spring. Also completed compound and wax of hull and topsides.
Working a couple of large projects with the day job as well.
Did you adjust your withholding, or just accept the new tables?
The new withholding tables reduced the withholding amount, which gives you a larger paycheck, but usually a smaller refund.
