@NickMcLarty I was talking about later when he fake arrests her you Massive Mron

@Mythicalblue_ It would have been icing on the cake if the woman he started screaming fuck you at smacked him in the face.

@alanchr5412 @ATabarrok @Uber Yeah… at the costs Uber is laying down nowadays, this may just be the better option.
English

Really annoys me that @Uber just lies through its teeth when it comes to wait times.
English

@ATabarrok @Uber Forecasting models are very difficult to build...Uber has state of the art ML engineers and they do an impeccable job at the product they have built. If you actually looked at how they did it, you won't be so annoyed :-)
English

@BiggieAtx @ATabarrok @Uber Not true, because I’ve been doing this since the original estimated wait time.

@ATabarrok @Uber and yet you still take 10 minutes after the driver arrives, no matter how long it took to get there.
English

@tonypisculli @ATabarrok @Uber I will absolutely defer to a Waymo/CyberCab anywhere it’s available. I don’t want to deal with Uber drivers anymore.
English

@ATabarrok @Uber Waymo’s are very accurate. I assume RoboTaxi and CyberCab too, for the same reason, though I haven’t tried them
English

@ATabarrok @Uber Yeah. 5 minute wait. Takes 5 minutes to find a driver. 15 minutes away.
English

@victorfyt @TonyinNY I empathise with that officer because I went through this multiple times. These kids are simply allowed to assault anyone they want

@eurofounder That all tracks.
Could be worse, you could be in a country where you get shot walking home.

A perfect Sunday in the UK:
09:00 - Wake up to a call to prayer from the nearby mosque
10:00 - Sort trash into seven different recycling bins
11:00 - Eat Tesco hot dog for breakfast
12:00 - Visit my brother in prison who was sentenced to 36 months for a Facebook post
14:00 - Attend Hindi class at the community centre
15:00 - Go to a pub to watch football game
17:00 - Chelsea loses 3-0, blame the American owners
18:00 - Get stabbed in the arm walking home
20:00 - Eat potatoes with beans for dinner
23:00 - Fall asleep to beats of loud rap music from my Jamaican neighbor's apartment

@GreenRanger8496 @walterwhiteh691 She was in the driver’s seat bruh.
English

@walterwhiteh691 The Question is how the F did she get out of the back-seat since the back Doors only open from the out side unless there was a secret leaver or something to make it so you can get out if its an emergency or you get locked in the back

@Chillcatser @BuzzPatterson I, for one, totally agree with you… it would seem he would be all over the place and it seems excessive. But I was watching the HSI and he barely broke 0° pitch or roll the entire time.
English

@BuzzPatterson How does he stay on the glideslooe if he keeps making all those control inputs? Even with gusts it seems like he’s over correcting.
English

@jfarrish11 The irony is I don’t even think there are any airline clubs there. You have the CapOne Lounge where Flagship Lounge used to be, and you have some loungey-looking thing in the mezzanine above the stores, and that’s it.
English

Agreed on all your points. Lackland consolidated into a single club building in the early ‘00s but maintained separate bars and dining rooms. For a few years, the NCO club bar would still have a fairly decent turnout on weekends and it was a good place to go decompress after work. But as a mid-20 year old who had a dual purpose for the bar scene, it didn’t work. I would find myself and my team at the Afterburner more times than not.

In the movie “Top Gun”, Maverick picks up Kelly McGillis by singing in the Officer’s Club.
The “O Club” – as it’s known – was a thing, but died a slow death. I missed most of it in my career.
In the day, Mom got pissed at the Nellis AFB O’ Club for “Lingerie Night” where models came in & showed off lingerie for sale. It was an early memory for me, seeing those women cross the hall…Mom was beyond pissed & went on a crusade w/ the other Officer’s wives, ending up in the General’s office. They won, but I wish they hadn’t.
Before 9/11, the Air Force allowed busses of women to come onto the base on weekend nights, headed to the O’ Club. My Dad was the commander of Security Forces at the time; it was a thing he allowed & for a reason. Seriously, busses full of women, all going to the O’ Club…it was a hot spot at any base.
The O’ Club could be a wild place.
Once, at Nellis, Dad got a call on a Saturday (I think, but definitely a weekend). It was “Red Flag”, with fighter pilots from all over the world attending to do simulated air war against each other…they’d gotten drunk in the O’ Club & started actually fighting, smashing things up. Shit show.
He told his troops to go get all the dogs…Nellis was a center for military dog training & he had turned the “Squadron” into a “Group”, then made “Silver Flag” in the desert, where SF got to play war. It was now not just a place SF could be stationed, it was the home of SF.
Anyway, he recalled all the troops, went to the club & locked all the doors except one. Then they let the dogs in…nobody escorting, just release the dog with the command to go fuck things up. One by one, the pilots came out in surrender. He loved that story…wish I could hear him tell it one more time.
Anyway, the Tailhook Scandal happened & that was the death signal. Now, Commanders counted the amount of drinks you had. Instead of being a place you could relax, you had to be on duty still.
You had to pay to be a member of the O’ Club. It became a place where your career was in jeopardy, so membership declined. The Officer & Enlisted Clubs eventually merged to try & survive, but I don’t think it has gone well. Some Commanders would hold mandatory meetings there, and you had to be a member to attend, which generated some memberships, but that was received poorly.
The Pilot Training Bases still have a decent club scene. They don’t allow civilians to come anymore, but it’s a bunch of young trainee pilots trying to flex on each other, playing a very physical game called “Crud”. You’ll have to google that.
I helped a Major refit the Club at Vance AFB around 2000. He knew what to do & it was great…he managed to get an ejection seat & a stick from the T-37 right at the bar. Then he wired it so that if you pulled the “Trigger” on the stick, it set off alarm lights & sirens in the club, and now our brand new, naive student who fancied himself a steely-eyed killer owed the whole club beers when the lights & alarms went off.
I had a few good nights at O’ Clubs. Vance AFB could get wild on Assignment Night. Randolph AFB was still kicking… the AF Nursing program was based nearby & it had a basement Crud room w/ sandbag walls, so things could get wild when the nurses showed up to have fun. My buddy may make General, but I remember him passing out on a General’s lawn as a Lieutenant after a good night at Randolph & being woken by the sprinklers.
We lost something. Some of it was worth discarding, but not all of it was & it built relationships in a way we lack today. The Clubs were good, and it makes me sad they are in such a bad state today.

@General40838671 @benwehrman The ones in tan are Texas DPS troopers. The ones in blue are Austin Police.
Despite what they may say or rumors to the contrary, Travis County Sheriff does not jn fact do any work.
English

@benwehrman Marines are good at 3 things,
Getting stuff Dead, Broken, or Pregnant.
Those Sheriffs stopped them just before dead.
English

@thatpandaddy @jbtx88 @benwehrman That’s because 6th St is a target rich environment where all the police camp out.
English

@jbtx88 @benwehrman Yeah, it's almost like the police only do policing when it's mostly white people involved.

@NickMcLarty @UrbanSoak @BuzzPatterson And they reimburse the Government for the cost of and airline ticket.

EXCLUSIVE: FBI Directors are required, by law, to fly on government provided transportation. A quick Google search would’ve been informative.
