Passengers at some U.S. airports no longer have to remove footwear, sources say
  • We can speculate about what could’ve happened instead all day, but that doesn’t change the fact that what he actually did was hide a bomb in his shoe, and this would have prevented that specifically.

    I’m actually curious what you think would have been more likely to work?

  • It would’ve prevented the guy we're both talking about from sneaking a bomb on the plane in his shoe.

    I don’t think they’re taking it away now because they don’t think it helps. I think they’re taking it away because people don’t like doing it.

    Maybe they think the number of people who will try that again is low. Maybe they have other ways of detecting something like that now. Who knows.

  • No, there was actually a case years ago (not too long after 9-11) of a man bringing a bomb on a plane in his shoe. Passengers stopped him as he tried to light it on the plane.

    IIRC that’s when they started making people take off their shoes. I could be wrong about that part but that’s how I remember it.

  • Protester shot in the eye with rubber bullet during 'No Kings Day' rally in downtown Los Angeles
  • Look at this condescending ass motherfucker who was telling everyone to go find a robotics event somewhere to snag some free glasses on their way to a protest to save two five dollars. You can get a single pair at Home Depot for five bucks.

    Thanks for the tip buddy. I’m sure it will help exactly zero people.

  • You’re right, if you check Amazon you can get a box of 10 ANSI certified safety glasses for 16.99. So actually less than two dollars.

    I originally pulled that number out of thin air, but how much do you think the ones they give out for these robotics events cost? If you tour a manufacturing facility and they pass out OSHA required safety glasses, how much do you think they cost? Probably also less than two dollars.

  • Where's a good place to find legit training programs?

    Been back into running for about a year after a long hiatus. When I ran before it was just for cardio but I did a half marathon back in the day.

    Now I’m more focused on form, different types of runs, etc. and things are going great.

    I’m using a training plan my physical therapist gave me for my race that’s coming up soon. I was wondering, what do I do after the race? When are the easy runs? When are the tempo runs? When should I do speed work? When are the long runs?

    I like distance running (I’m here for the ultra trail stuff) and want to maintain in between races.

    If the human body didn't heal itself, how'd you be doing rn?

    Your body doesn’t heal itself. Cuts need stitches that must be permanent. Bones need to be screwed together even if just cracked. How you doing?
