Avoid the 1998 Iguanazilla movie for as long as you can.


I loved this movie as a child fwiw
Had the same experience goin from the law lot past the UREC to Sstanford to get on at Acadian Thruway. I sat forever. It finally started moving steady but it was a crawl all the way to Perkins basically.

My wife has mild AuDHD (diagnosed this year) and makes 6 figures and is beloved by her boss as the best worker in the office. You have no idea how many “normal” people this actually affects. I’m probably mildly on the spectrum myself and also a six figure earner.
Republican policies not much. Maybe a tax break.

Democratic politics? I enjoy not living near section 8 housing in a single family neighborhood with gas appliances and a gas car. I also don’t want to have to deal with BS environmental regs making everything even more expensive because apparently saving the planet just takes taxes and higher costs.

So I mean shite right there they can get ALL up in my face pretty quickly.
Perfect. Lets get this see saw bending further back and forth each way.

Dems making things cheaper is just them having the government subsidize it. Nothing is going to get cheaper but taxes will certainly increase so people feel things are cheaper. They create more taxes and more regulations. Nothing in their platform lowers actual costs. Only hides them with public subsidies.

I got a better job this year because a company sought me out. My wife and I bought a house last year and have been handling it well even given the cost increases. We are both right at six figure incomes. I look outside and my life is great. So I guess I am fortunate.

I actually haven’t listened to Trump speak in 2 years. It’s much more pleasant that way.

And you think democrats won’t make gas so unaffordable people just go to EVs by default?

Democrats are gonna make gas cheaper???

s definitely no worse than it was under Biden but it’s not better either. Trump is a just a retard that sold us out. That’s why people are sick of him


I’m no fan of Trump I’ve just had no issues with him the last 2 years. If things stay moderately the same that’s all I can ask for. Government will never ever make your life better no matter how hard they pull those levers conservative or liberal.

All I ask is they stay out of my way. Well they’re about to be all up in our shite trying to fix everything. So congrats all.

Maybe I live in a bubble. My wife and I have continued to get steady raises over the last two years and have even started new jobs after being recruited to go to greener pastures. We bought a house last year.

Things have gotten mildly expensive for us but the idea things are worse the last two years than they have been the last 6 isn’t true for us. Gas is a little more expensive but at Costco it’s like $3.50-$4 a gallon. Hardly earth shattering especially given the covid era cratered gas prices to artificially low levels.

I guess I’m shocked that even this board seems fed up with Trump. I’m not exactly a fan of his but I’ve held my nose and voted conservative because I’m not down with socialism at all.

I guess I just look outside and I just don’t see all the despair I see online and the news. But to be fair I basically never read or listen to political except election night like tonight.
Ok so people have talked about the inherent issues with Leers and that they’re very tricky to handle and unforgiving.

So what’s the benefit of them and why people still fly them over other options?
I wish I could just read the emails of the NTSB investigators instead of this stupid back and forth where we know basically nothing but the last words of a young pilot.
quote:

I do think it's fair to question whether things would've been different with someone else in the seat discussing options with the pilot both before and after they ended up in the mess. Given her age and experience, I doubt she was able to add much to that conversation. Even if she could, would a 50 year old pilot even listen to her?
