Not sure what math you are using...

A flight from Portland, OR to Honolulu is 6 hours and 15 minutes. Non-stop. San Francisco and LA are both about 6 hours. Non-stop. Not sure where you are getting 4.5 hours.


I know it doesn't add anything to the conversation; however, where would one stop on a flight from LAX to Honolulu?  ;)

In a *really* big swimming pool.
No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them. It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn foresaw in The Gulag Archipelago: "No, no one would have to answer. No one would be looked into." Until that happens, there is no "after socialism."

Aircraft carrier.......Of course, that would depend upon one's aircraft.

Just emphasizing the fact that flights from the west coast are non-stop, and most everywhere else is not.

I know, just trying to bring a little laughter to the thread.

When I flew out there, I had just read the book "Unbroken".  I made sure my hygiene kit had fishing line and hooks and all sorts of first aid.  it probably would have been lost if we had crashed but I thought I was prepared to not have a fate like Louis Zamperini.

I love how my thread was legit days before and it gets deleted. The mods are a joke.

Says you of so many posts. I would humbly suggest that if you don't like the job the mods are doing that you apply to be one yourself. I.E. be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

All well and good; however, I again suggest that if you don't care for the job various mods are doing then you might want to see if you can become one and help straighten out the perceived wrongs you apparently see in their various actions. Proactive approaches are always preferable than just standing around and complaining about a problem.

All we have to do is ask to be one?? Hmm...maybe HRV should have asked before he deleted his account.....

Uhh......I never said one merely needed to ask to be one. Quite frankly I'm not certain exactly what it takes to be named one. However, if one never REQUESTS to be a moderator I would imagine such an "honor" isn't going to automatically bestowed on that person.

I figure it's the opposite, they'd never ordain one with that title who requested it.

Well one never knows. Shall we ask one (or more) of the mods?
