WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

Do you remember a couple years ago when Boston Children’s Hospital was targeted with bomb threats because of disinformation of their gender-related services, and a woman was arrested? She was convicted, and in the defense sentencing memorandum is something interesting.

The Liberals also promised it, then took one look at the actual voting results and what that would mean for them under proportional representation, and pretended like they'd never said anything.

Both of the top parties have promised electoral reform in the past. The Conservative party tried to do it unilaterally without consulting the provinces, the Supreme Court told them no, you have to consult and they immediately dropped it.

Because it isn't in the interest of either the Liberals or the Conservatives to switch, they'd never have a majority again.

That is the healthy way to use the app. And no, most people don't do this. STFU is a good thing often, not just when cops are involved.

The commission report itself (well, the appendix they grudgingly let him include) is the source of one of my favorite quotes about engineering. The closing sentence is: "For any successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." "

Yea. I mean, I'm not trying to criticize them, they're not indefensible. But it would have required a safety culture at NASA that didn't exist at the time. The manager's opinion was insane.

My absolute favorite Chicago aviation story is from when Brad Moss and I were traveling back to DC by way of Chicago on different airlines and I switched planes to get on his United flight, and once we boarded we promptly ran into another plane. www.chicagotribune.com/2005/08/09/2...

This, 100%. Is tragic but also incredible good. Don't miss what happened on the pilot's next flight after he recovered.

Saw one of them with Enterprise on its back when I was 5 or so and they took it on tour. Coolest thing to ever land at the Ottawa Airport. Concorde's one time trip here was a close second.

This. They'll defend it by saying "look at the history of royal families", but it's completely unnecessary in almost every story. You're writing a fantasy story, not a biography.

It 100% came up when I went on the heart transplant list (due to CHF, I've recovered enough to be removed from the list). I get it, it's a limited resource and they need to make the best use of it, but it's brutal and cruel if you're battling an addiction.
