Another plane crash on Trumps watch

[mookiemcgee]

The incompetence at the top of US gov't leadership to poignant to ignore as F-35 fighter plane crashes shortly after pilot ejected in Alaska yesterday.

Calls for Trump to resign mount as planes are falling from the sky left and right 10 days into the administration. What dangerous changes has he already made that have triggered a complete collapse of US military air vehicles so quickly? Is Trump too old to handle the job?

Desperately reaching there buddy. I think you've spent too much time around the rest of the conspiracy whack jobs here. May I suggest a nice Cabernet and a good book?

Sarcasm is the caustic use of words, often in a humorous way, to mock someone or something.[1] Sarcasm may employ ambivalence,[2] although it is not necessarily ironic.[3] Most noticeable in spoken word, sarcasm is mainly distinguished by the inflection with which it is spoken[4] or, with an undercurrent of irony, by the extreme disproportion of the comment to the situation, and is largely context-dependent.[5]

Geezes, some of this flies way above your head.

I'm doing my best anti-Saxi impersonation.

That said, if another US military vehicles crashes in the next 24 hours you can count on even more hyperbole

any book suggestions?

And I thought you only get the magazines for the "articles to read..."....!!

You must be bored...

You must be bored...

Not at ALL, pee-rat. That shows how little you know about me.

My life is FULL, pee-rat. I have lots to do everyday. I did finish a book in some 30 hours; it is a good book and I could not put it down; the author is Malcolm Gladwell. It was a gift in the past few days, btw. I read often, on a variety of subjects. I am currently reading 4 other books, all on Religious topics. I read those books to consider what to teach in the near future. I read at least 10 books or more on religious matters in the past few years.

Next week my wife and I are on Grandparent duty, taking care of all the Grandchildren in different capacities. I have a fulfilling part-time job; I also serve those who are needy and hungry. I have, in the past, helped the poor by repairing their homes (Pre-Covid). And, as you love to point out, I teach Sunday School to Adults, too.

In the summer I have a garden and I ride my bicycle when the weather permits. I also visit my family often.

I still teach Chemistry and Physics at the secondary level and keep learning more nearly everyday. I use and review skills I have learned. I problem solve using equipment and trying to devise new ways to use the limited equipment and chemicals I have (and can use safely) at my private Christian school to make those subjects relevant, interesting, and on-topic. I just finished an experiment today on Boyle's Law, using 3 digital programs and 2 different sets of equipment, most of that donated. That makes it challenging to mix and match all that different equipment. I spent some 3 afternoons trouble shooting all the hurdles I had to clear for one experiment, that lasted about 90 minutes today, including data analysis. My students analyzed the data they obtained using both linear regression and power regression methods. The results were reasonably impressive. BTW: one program I tried I had not used in several years and that took some problem solving.

I am considering doing a follow-up Chemistry experiment using gas laws combined with Stoichiometry; those results have not been as impressive, so I need to better trouble shoot that experiment and its methodology.

Perhaps I should start sampling wines, as recommended by Mookie. That may help me pass the time. Then I can advise DDS what he needs to drink.

Oh, and I almost forgot: I lead a Clan here on CC. I actually organize games for members to play in various tournaments.

When we start building concentration camps for the vermin, your skills in gas might help. We do need plumbers to install the showers.

I can dig it.

I assume you read updates on this? Interesting. Still sad, but lots of ammo for inter-party finger pointing.

Do you mean this F35 crash? I haven't seen much of an update honestly, tons about the helicopter and the AA flight though yeah. Trump almost beat me to the finger pointing on that one lol.

Be careful pee-rat, your silliness and lack of knowledge is SHOWING, again, especially of me. I am not a plumber, but I do understand the basic concept: water flows downhill, especially dirty water.

hmmm, interesting...I have it on good authority that jp got shitcanned for praying w/some student types in a public school...

Thank you, President Trump!

An endangered frog has just given birth in a miracle ensuring the survival of its entire species!

The birth of 33 frogs at the London Zoo has been hailed as a “landmark moment” in the ongoing battle to save an endangered species that was first described by Charles Darwin during his epic voyage on HMS Beagle in the early 1800s.

What a pathetic response by our resident p-rat.

And remember, plumbers deal nearly always with liquid water flow and not gases.

And don't forget the direction water flows. It's due to gravity; perhaps you need to research that topic, pee-rat. Try Google, but don't use Tik Tok. You will likely find a video there claiming water flows uphill.

[Pack Rat]

Union Plumbers are taught to install medical gas, natural gas and propane piping. (I worked 40 years in contruction for large and small industrial, commercial, apartments, multi-family and single family home projects.

Water can defy gravity (google it or I can send you some cool tik-tok video) BTW, liquid water? Read you State Plumbing Code and you'll get to use cool plumbing terms, like flow rates and water pressure. How to size water pipes for the amount of fixture units being installed, whether hammer arrestors are required/needed for the number and type of plumbing fixtures being installed. Sometimes using simple 1/2" x 12" air chambers will do or larger sizes depending on the fixture (especially commercial urinals and toilets)

Your credentials are not only failing you, but your students.

I hired a plumber to install a natural gas line to my generator, so I know that plumbers do work on gas. SO NO failure here, pee-rat. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Finally, pee-rat shows some KNOWLEDGE. And I was NOT wrong in what I said. BUT, I assumed, that you have little KNOWLEDGE of such technical terms since your area of expertise seems to be Tik Tok and trying to hurl insults.

We need plumbers. We need fewer Tik Tok watchers and influencers. And lucky for the world, I do not do plumbing work. And water does not DEFY gravity under NORMAL conditions, but responds to pressure (including capillary action) and thus can be FORCED to flow against gravity. Plants do that ALL the time. Any object can work against gravity, btw, given sufficient force and means. Have you ever heard of an airplane (the ACTUAL topic here) or a rocket, pee-rat?

And my life is still FULL, even if you know a modicum about plumbing and "contruction". Work on your spelling too.

AND Trump has gotten done more in two weeks than Biden has in (any of his) six years in the US Senate and 4 years as POTUS. It is possible that Trump has gotten more done this term than Biden's entire time as a Senator.

well since you brought up a plane crash abroad today with no fatalities...

There have been four deadly plane crashes in the United States since Trumps inauguration:

January 29:
A Bombardier CRJ700 operating as American Airlines Flight 5342 collided with a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter above the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. All 64 people on board the CRJ700 and 3 on board the helicopter were killed.

January 31:
A medical jet crash in Philadelphia killed seven people. The Learjet generated a massive fireball when it smashed into the ground in a neighborhood not long after taking off from a small airport nearby.

February 6:
A Cessna 208B Grand Caravan operating as Bering Air Flight 445 from Unalakleet to Nome, Alaska, went missing 10 minutes before its scheduled arrival at Nome. The wreckage of the aircraft was found 34 miles from Nome in the Bering Sea, and all 10 people onboard the aircraft died.

February 10:
A plane veered off the runway and crashed into a parked plane at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona. One person was killed and four others were injured.

Before 2025, the most recent deadly plane crash involving a U.S. airliner was in 2009.

• FACT: During the Biden Administration, 55 Americans died from lightning strikes
  No Americans have been killed by lightning strikes since Trump took office.

Didn't they cause Covid or something?
