Fly the fraudly skies! Man Convicted of Posing as Flight Attendant to Fly for Free 120 Times
A 35-year-old American man has been found guilty of impersonating a flight attendant at least 120 times in order to avoid having to pay for plane tickets.
Federal prosecutors accused Tirone Alexander of entering the secure area of an airport under false pretenses and committing wire fraud at least 120 times between 2018 and 2024. The 35-year-old man reportedly took advantage of a common airline policy that allows flight attendants and pilots from other airlines to fly for free. Alexander, who allegedly had worked as a flight attendant for regional airlines between 2013 and 2015, would go to various airline websites and check the “flight attendant” option during the online check-in process. The form required applicants to provide their employer, date of hire, and badge number, and Alexander used falsified information that apparently no one bothered to check.
What began as a lively family birthday celebration at Mama Mia's in Carver, Massachusetts, turned into a deeply touching display of unexpected kindness, leaving diners in tears and reaffirming the profound impact of simple human connection. *** Lindsey's family was celebrating her mother's birthday with a party of thirteen, admittedly making quite a bit of joyous noise. Seated beside them was an elderly couple, and initially, Lindsey's group worried they might be a nuisance. “We thought they were annoyed by us,” Lindsey recalled. But everything changed when they finished singing “Happy Birthday” to her mom. The woman next to them smiled warmly and said, “It’s my husband’s birthday too.” Without hesitation, Lindsey’s mom lit a candle in a cupcake and the whole group sang again — this time, for the gentleman named Tony. The impromptu celebration continued as they shared cake with Tony and his wife, who expressed immense gratitude for the unexpected gesture. Then came the words that lingered with everyone: when Lindsey’s mom told Tony, “We’ll meet here next year,” he softly replied, “I don’t think so.” At the time, no one quite understood the weight of those words. *** "This means more to us than you know. My husband was just diagnosed with cancer, and he's not doing well."Very nice story. Read the whole thing.

Clinical Manifestations of Iatrogenic Magnetism in Subjects After Receiving COVID-19 Injectables: Case Report Series
Abstract: A series of cases of COVID-19 vaccine-injected patients suffering from iatrogenic magnetism is described. The attachment of massive metallic objects (up to 70 grams) to different parts of the body is a real phenomenon that may present additional health risks if such patients are subjected to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [ . . . ]
Conclusions: A strong magnetic field is generated in the human body that has no causal relation to previous COVID-19 vaccination.

544 Eagle Claw taught a lot of hard, costly lessons, to DoD
Rule 1 - do not make it a multi service affair unless forced to. Rule 2 - KISS. Rule 3 - be bold.
You had USAF Spec Ops, you had Delta, Navy CH-53Es, Marine pilots for the CH-53Es, late addition of some Rangers, and CIA and Iranian agents.
Except for the Marines and Delta, no one trained together. And Delta did not trust the Marines.

Anna Puma, in many ways results of the May 1975 rescue op for the civilian container ship Mayaguez and crew, captured by Khmer Rouge forces off the coast of Cambodia, was worse than Eagle Claw (when it ended).
The butcher's bill:
US casualties were ten Marines, two Navy corpsmen, and an Air Force crewman killed in the crash of Knife 31 (CH-53); an Air Force crewman killed in the crash of Knife 21 (CH-53); one Marine killed in action on the West Beach; and three Marines missing in action and presumed dead. Fifty were wounded including thirty-five Marines and six airmen. In addition, eighteen USAF Security Police and five flight crew were killed in the CH-53 crash on the way to U-Tapao to pick-up more Marines.

One thing you could do to stymie ground-penetrating radar is to make your horizontal tunnels deep enough that GPR cannot see them, and then dig a vertical raise close to surface. Might just show as a dot on a GPR map, and not be definitive.

I am still not sure about that, since MOST spoons are actualy stainless, which is not very magnetic at all, depending on the composition.
However a dab of glycerine will make things adhere, as will "oily" skin.

The three MIA Marines were accidentally left behind on Koh Tang. A retrieval helo mission was called-off while in-progress for fear of more casualties. The three were captured and executed - beaten to death. Three CH-53's were shot down, all by RPGs.

As a concerned citizen, I respectfully urge you to prioritize reining in the influence of unelected intelligence agencies and the deep state, as well as halting the perpetuation of endless foreign conflicts. Your administration was elected with a mandate to challenge entrenched interests and prioritize America’s interests by avoiding unnecessary wars.
I strongly encourage you to resist the influence of neoconservative advisors whose policies risk entangling our nation in prolonged conflicts. The continued support of the MAGA coalition depends on your commitment to these critical objectives. Please take decisive action to align our national security and foreign policy with the will of the American people.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

@RepMTG
Tucker Carlson is one of my favorite people.
He fiercely loves his wife, children, and our country.
Since being fired by the neocon network Fox News, he has more popularity and viewers than ever before.
He unapologetically believes the same things I do.
That if we don’t fight for our own country and our own people then we will no longer have a country for our children and our grandchildren.
And foreign wars/intervention/regime change put America last, kill innocent people, are making us broke, and will ultimately lead to our destruction.
That’s not kooky.
That’s what millions of Americans voted for.
It’s what we believe is America First.

Mayquez mission was carried out almost on the fly with in theater assets.
Eagle Claw, they spent months training and planning.
Posted by: Anna Puma at June 16, 2025 10:25 PM (skGot)
In your opinion. Despite the planning, the first night's relatively straightforward movement to the staging location was hamstrung by lack of air asset redundancy, and inability to forecast, recon for, and operate in a common weather phenomenon in the area, a haboob. Not much long and careful planning there. Again, those issues were due to the forces we had available at the time, not what was truly needed. Along with a lack of foresight of possible local weather.

We do have nuclear bunker busters, and I had Grok going on about what they can do. Adjustable yield, 1 - 10 kt TNT. The penetrate a few meters into the ground, and then detonate, with the design to optimize shockwave coupling to the rock.
Properly aimed, one of those could deliver significant shockwaves even 200 m undeground. It would do no direct "blow up" damage, the shockwave would do some real damage.
Consider a big room 200 m under rock. Direct a 10kt shockwave. Air overpressure in that room would hit 10 - 30 atm! That would be enough to kill people right then and there. Also, mess up delicate equipment. Just imagine a "nuclear lab" type setup, and such a pressure shock rips through, and bounces off the walls.

The Marines blew off doing any sand storm training
Also the spare CH-53Es were not added until late in the training for mission redundancy. The CH-53Es were the true Achilles heel as one went down in the haboob. Another was a fail. Third made it to Desert One but with a problem, basically had 72 hours of life in the rotor. So the CH-53E was down checked. The rest made it to Desert One an hour late due to the haboob.
Meanwhile the Rangers had captured a bus full of Iranian citizens and blew up a fuel tanker.

Grok @grok 27m Replying to @Chamoisdavisjr @sentdefender @zerohedge
The claim of three ships on fire in the Gulf of Oman near the Strait of Hormuz on June 17, 2025, lacks official confirmation from maritime authorities like UKMTO. Social media reports and a NASA FIRMS map suggest fires, but no major news outlets have verified the incident. An image shared with the claim shows coordinates (37.0 N 122.0 W) pointing to California, not the Gulf of Oman, raising doubts about its relevance. Given the region's tensions, such reports are plausible but unconfirmed. Without official evidence, the accuracy remains uncertain.

A magnitude 2.5 earthquake was reported earlier in the Qom Province of Northern Iran, close to the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant (FFEP). The earthquake appears to have occurred around the same time as the reported strikes earlier against Fordow by the Israeli Air Force, though the depth leads me to believe that this was likely a natural earthquake.

If the Iranians had a nuke ready to go, I doubt, under the present circumstances, that they would "waste" it in an underground test. Probably load it on a missile and launch it at Israel.

Trump has been saying for many years, long before he got into politics, that Iran must never get a nuclear bomb. Anyone with an ounce of common sense has been saying the same thing for obvious reasons.
Iran has been at war with us for decades. They sponsor terrorist proxies that hit us, take hostages and support our enemies like China. Iran is the leading state sponsor of terror in the world and much of it is has been targeted at the country they call The Great Satan. That would be us.
Trump obviously is not part of the neocon war first crowd but he is also not stupid. No sane person believes that if the terrorist in Iran got a nuke they wouldn't use it and once a nuclear war starts the entire world will be involved. This isn't 1945. An nuke today would start WWIII.
I doubt Bibi loves war. I doubt most people who carry want to shoot someone. But people carry because sometimes you don't get a choice. Trump isn't a warmononger or a commenter. I voted for him because I trust his judgement to use force only when he has no choice.

Unless the device is miniaturized, a difficult process, the Iranians may have no way to deliver a nuke.

Any way, I found audio books on youtube and was going to listen to them, but it turns out only two had been done. I had read all of them, including the Sentinels based on the ill fated second season of the series and The End of the Circle, which capped all of it, and was hoping to reexperience it all but it was not to be.
So I found that several youtubers had posted the series, and played those in the background for a couple of weeks. And thought I was done.
But I made one more search and found that, apparently at some point, the original Macross got an English dub, and about five months ago, someone helpfully posted that. Minmay's original songs seem better, though I still prefer the soundtrack from my youth.

That's the range that massive explosions undeground would create. A small 1kt nuke undeground would make over a 4.0 event.
Now, undeground explosions, especially nuclear, have unique signatures that distinguish them from regular earthquakes, at least if they are big enough. An undeground nuke test would be readily apparent to seismic analysis.

The time Trump will lose me is when he cares about installing a better regime anywhere. That's what got us to this place. Believing we had the wisdom to install better regimes everywhere in the world.
The job of a POTUS is to make our government better for the American people. Sometimes that includes taking down foreign regimes that threaten the American people but the days of nation building are hopefully behind us. Trump spent much of his first 6 month on the job telling Iran to make a deal and drop their mesianic bullshit and he would help them. But they will never get a nuke. That's why his first foreign trip was the Middle East. They chose poorly.

I agree with everything you said in that comment.
There seems to be an issue with the normies on team Trump that they heard him talk about Ukraine and Oct 7, saying those things would have never happened if he had been President, and their take away is that he's promised them no new wars.
I know it's not what he said, though he did rightfully brag about not having to start any (though he did whack solemani), but that's seems to be the kernel of their thought.
I'm not sure how to get around that. We obviously didn't just celebrate 250 years of the US Army because no military action will ever be needed if we're just clever enough at negotiating, but a lot of people seem to think that.

ABS sensors are usually wheel speed sensors. One on each wheel. They are basically electromagnets, and not too expensive. But labor to change them might run into several hours, as in some cases removal of the brake rotor is required. If it's just a severed wire to the sensor, you might be able to splice it.
You could try removing the ABS fuse, if there is one. That should yield just one code, "ABS not working". Car should run fine without it. Of course ABS won't work, but it's not working now, is it?

I have a 2013 Honda Accord with ABS sensor issue turning all sorts of lights on the dashboard red.
Does anyone know if I can get the sensor disconnected to turn warning lights out?
The car is running fine but cost of replacing sensor is a lot.
Posted by: Iris- in memory of Jim SND at June 16, 2025 11:16 PM (Xo+UM)
I have a 2012 accord, so I feel qualified to ask a stupid question. Is there a switch to turn off the ABS? Mine has a switch on the left of the steering wheel. I live in a snowy area and in the winter sometimes I skid intentionally and the car was breaking for me. Sometimes I need momentum to slide the ass end around through six inches of slush when turning.

....oh no...That what America do.
Do you know when the last time anyone gave a shit what Japan thought about world affairs? Almost 80 years ago. Then they got their shit pushed in and nobody has cared since.
News flash, being the sole super power in the world which also happens to be the country with the most freedom and quality of life has a cost.

"Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" he wrote.
_In a subsequent post, Trump wrote, "AMERICA FIRST means many GREAT things, including the fact that, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"
...“I'm in constant touch [with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu], and as I've been saying, I think a deal will be signed, or something will happen, but a deal will be signed, and I think Iran is foolish not to sign one. Iran should have signed the deal,” he added.
“I think Iran basically is at the negotiating table. They want to make a deal, and as soon as I leave here, we're going to be doing something,” the President stated.

No, but those people don’t matter anymore. Just like what the G7 leaders Trump left behind tonight really don’t matter. What matters are our future relationships with the nations in the region - the Gulf States, Egypt, Turkey, a few others. Why them? Because outside of public rhetoric (which is just posturing) they are all going to know through their intelligence whether we did this for Israel, or whether Israel did it themselves.
And realizing through their intelligence services that Israel did this for itself is going to make every one of them sit back and say to themselves “ok, it is just not worth fucking around with the Israelis anymore.”
And that is going to be a huge change from the last 70 years of Mideast history. Gaza will have to be sorted, but Iran’s collapse will break the back of their resistance.

Nobody needs an intelligence service to figure Trump out because he comes right out and says what he means. Iran cannot get a nuke. And he isn't fucking around. Some of his tactics might be a bit of a mystery, where he intends to end up is not.

Those were all historical speed bumps that changed nothing. The end of the Iranian regime upends the last 40 years of middle eastern history; the coming (and inevitable) end of the Palestinian situation marks a huge change from the last 70 years of middle eastern history; this truly is a once in a lifetime event.
How will the Palestinian situation be resolved? However Israel wants it to be resolved - they won’t have any more international friends left after this.
Btw if you wonder what we here in America can thank Israel for; I think Israel is going to help us finally get rid of the UN. (Some little rump debating society using the name will persist, of course).

You and I agree on all of the fundamentals. All of the people talking nonsense are going to be so thoroughly discredited that they simply won’t be listened to on anything anymore - and I included most of the American left in that. Likewise, who is going to care what Starmer or Macron or Merz have to say about anything going forward from here? Not only have they been consistently wrong, they also have proven to be powerless and have had no effect on anything that has happened.
They are all now irrelevant, and the entire world knows they are irrelevant.

Rebooting to Mint was a pain, and when it finally did boot, screen resolution is off. Open "display", and Mint thinks it's on a laptop, with no change in resolution permitted.

A very sick, fevered individual presented hisself to the ER saying he had a …. problem. The windup was, he worked in a machine shop, and during his lunch break he would (somehow) self gratify hisself on a piece of equipment.
Well it was a belt driven kind of machine, and in his throe of passion one of the the boys got caught in the belt, and he lost that one. “Avulsed” is the term, I think. He tried to staple the wound shut, which did work, after a fashion. But inevitably became infected. It’s still somewhere on the ‘net if you want to read it.
One could argue anywhere they are using rubber bullets, ya might be better off using the real deal. It’s also possible ole shot in the nuts actually had it coming. “There I was, reading my bible on the courthouse steps. And the cops came by and beat the shit out of me!!” Sure, Jan.

So, 3 days. Sort of like Hezbollah last year - "lots of promotion opportunities, inquire today!".
Current joke: "Hey honey I got a promotion. Yeah, it'll be a lot of work, but it won't last long."
Current joke #2: "For 46 years, no Israeli flights went to Iran. At the moment, all Israeli flights go to Iran."

It used to take 2 generations or so before history was inverted, invented, and made up (1945 until the ridiculous, and baseless "revisionist" crap about the bomb in 1995). Now we've improved that to one generation. I know some of the people beclowning themselves were 10 years old in the early 2000s when things were actually happening, but many don't have that excuse.
But with that, off to read about Operation Meetinghouse, the big Tokyo fire-bomb raid. Quite an interesting book on it, and LeMay, by James Scott. Recommended (I'm assuming he avoids the always weak and lame post-game moral agonizing schtick afflicting so many WWII types).

I have run dual boot in the desktop before, had Win7 on one HD, and XP on the other, and could explore one disc from the other.
I think I will get a new SSD for the desktop, reinstall the Win7 HD, and install Mint 23 on the new SSD. Then I ought to be able to easily (heh) migrate important files from the old Windows install to the new Mint install.
In the meantime, I will stick with this laptop.
Anyway, it's late, and I need to go to bed. Night, Horde.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at June 17, 2025 03:09 AM (2UMft)
Get a external carrier for the HD. At that point it's identical to an external hard drive. You can plug that into the laptop and you're off to the races.
