@Gebo___ Because golf courses are essential.

Why don't we talk about the water consumption of an 18-hole golf course in the same way we do data centers?

@coachwwest It’s higher in Texas. Substantially.

The average high school head football coach stipend is around $7,000. Fluctuating heavily For that, they’re expected to coach year-round, run a program, mentor kids, manage parents, recruit their own halls, fundraise, break down film, coordinate staffs, and be available almost 24/7. Football coaches are grossly underpaid for what we ask of them.

@PrincepsPinat Best airplane I’ve ever flown. An aerodynamic masterpiece.

727❤️

@diharagirimana Sharpies work also. Without heating up a screwdriver to the temperature of the sun.

How did I live so long without this trick

@LouStagner Attire has nothing to do with that. And those days are long gone. Race baiting doesn’t become you.

@actlikeacaptain Gentleman don't exclude people based on gender, race or religion. Golf has a long history of doing just that.

I don’t care if you wear your hat indoors. I don’t care which direction your hat is facing. The direction of your hat, your shirt being tucked/untucked, or the length of your socks have zero impact on me. Why should I be bothered by any of that?

@BuzzPatterson Look at the crew names of the past 15 years of accidents.

FLYING & DEI: IT KILLS As some of you know, in addition to my career as an Air Force pilot I was also a commercial pilot for Delta Air Lines. Twenty years in the USAF and 16 at Delta. Throughout, I was impressed with my fellow pilots whether military or commercial. My peers were solid, the training was exemplary, and the maintenance on our aircraft was the best. I was blessed to safely operate aircraft into and out of 70 countries over 35 years and over 10,000 hours of flying time.  However, as our society evolves, for better or worse, many industries continue to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace above and beyond operations that are founded solidly in safe and efficient operations. Among the several industries that have taken this on in the face of the risks is the U.S. airline industry at the direct expense of the commercial flying public. It has indeed introduced questions and concerns about the safety and competence of the flying industry. One of the most recent incidents occurred in January 2024, when a United Airlines flight with a diversity “new hire” bent metal on a landing on their training flight. “Bent metal” like taking it out of service. That’s not cheap for United nor is it an endorsement for future paying United passengers. The incident led to an investigation into the company’s hiring practices and questions about the hiring practices and training standards for pilots who are less qualified than others. It was one of many instances that have occurred recently where the potential risks of prioritizing diversity over experience and competence have been highlighted.  Another issue that has recently been brought to light is the potential for discrimination in the hiring process. When I was leaving the Air Force and interviewing with the various airline companies, I was surrounded by experienced pilots from all walks of life. But they had decades of experience and they’d been through the shit. Mostly military but not all. Today, when you walk to your gate, you’re possibly getting a pilot, a flight attendant, or a mechanic who was hired based solely on diversity, equity, or inclusion. Airlines are setting diversity hires above qualifications at your expense.  When you board your aircraft with a ticket you’ve paid dearly for, what are you looking for in your aviation experience? I know when I board one now with my family, I know exactly what I’m looking for. Experience and competency. In response to the concerns that DEI initiatives are essential for promoting a diverse and inclusive workspace, I understand that. However, I firmly believe that safety should always be our primary concern and goal. Any and every attempt to ignore that should be eliminated and squashed forever. Otherwise, we’re going to start seeing planes fall out of the sky and innocent people die. As a member of the flying public, what do you think?

@Heather_Poole Braniff, Pan Am, and Spirit.

Anyone want to share the name of the airlines that the possibly infected flew on to get home?

@BigJoeBastardi @DerrickEvans4WV Absolutely correct. I am baffled by his stance. Makes no sense.

this is insanity. There are no chemtrails. It's visible water vapor due to high moisture content, where its very cold Why would you be a part of spreading this? Also dissappointed in RFK jr as a competing masters( 70) national level Steroid free bodybuiler his diet looks like mine, but he is way off on this What people call "chemtrails" are almost universally contrails—condensation trails formed by aircraft exhaust. Here's how they work:Jet engines burn fuel, producing hot exhaust rich in water vapor and tiny particles (soot, etc.). At high altitudes (typically above 26,000 feet / ~8 km), the air is very cold (often -40°C or colder). The water vapor rapidly cools and condenses (or freezes into ice crystals) around those particles, forming visible white trails—similar to your breath on a cold day. Short-lived contrails dissipate quickly in dry air. Persistent contrails form and linger (sometimes hours) in humid, ice-supersaturated air. They can spread due to wind shear and turn into thin cirrus-like clouds

RFK JR says he is going to do everything in his power to stop DARPA from spraying our skies with chemtrails.

@timsharter Lowelville, Ohio

Moving in a few months. Looking for feedback on potential cities to live. Criteria: - Near a major international airport, bonus if it’s a delta hub. - Plenty of golf. - Solid mid 20s crowd

@Turbinetraveler Seems silly.

What's your opinion on the HondaJet?

@IAmSteveHarvey Snickers

You can only eat one kind of fruit for the rest of your life. What is it?

@airmainengineer Stop.

We are about to land. Can you tell us what these red lights mean?

@Combat_learjet Idiot. Highly unprofessional.

This is the definition of "Pilot Cringe "! . . Thanks for sharing IG: @ a1junkxpress

@anymanfitness Nonsense. But good click bait.

Bad news, dude: If your kid doesn’t play travel/AAU they have no chance of playing varsity in high school. Only exceptions would be small, rural schools without many players to choose from. Any decent sized high school, every kid on varsity plays travel.

@N76247476Man You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Any airliner must be 70% to 80% full to break even on operation cost. Anything after that is considered profit. When you have a union that forced a budget airline to pay captains 300,000 a year it cannot be sustainable. Spirit was doomed from 2010 after the pilots strike.

@CollegeHoopsTIk Why not?

College athletes should not be making more than any professional athlete. Point blank.

@GovernorShapiro AI: “Health care refers to the organized system of services and professionals dedicated to maintaining and improving people’s health. It includes the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of illness, injury, and other physical or mental conditions.”

Abortion is health care. That includes medication abortion. And despite yesterday’s ruling, abortion — and mifepristone — remain legal here in Pennsylvania.  Visit pa.gov/freedomtochoose for up-to-date information and resources on how you can access the care you need as we prepare to take action against this dangerous ruling.

@KurtSupeCPA “Bucket your money so you're never forced to sell equities during a downturn and keep 2 to 3 years of spending in stable assets so the market can do what markets do without you touching the long-term money at the wrong time. “ This is the most important concept of retirement.

Everyone told the Wright brothers aluminum can't fly. Everyone told Elon you can't land a rocket. Now they’re telling you the 4% rule always holds up. Here's what the 4% rule actually is: a stress test built in 1994, using data from 1926 to 1976, designed to see if a retiree could survive the worst 30-year window in American history. It was never meant to be a plan. Somewhere along the way a financial planner turned it into a commandment. What actually works for retirees with real money: Build a custom income plan and stress test it. Maybe you front-load income in your 60s when you can still travel and move. Bucket your money so you're never forced to sell equities during a downturn and keep 2 to 3 years of spending in stable assets so the market can do what markets do without you touching the long-term money at the wrong time. Then review annually. If your probability of success is slipping, you adjust before it's a crisis, not after. The rule isn't the problem. Treating a one-size fits all rule like a strategy is. Your retirement is custom. Your plan should be too.

@scottmcnealy And therein lies the problem. And how do you solve that? It’s not her or any of the other elected idiots. It’s the people who elect them. BTW, your son can play. Make sure he’s very careful in the airplane though.

She will get reelected by morons voting for evil.
