  1. [quote name="Mike.357" post="1124824" timestamp="1394854878"]what would I tow with, a sedan? I am way more manly than that. ;)[/quote] Yah. I've had my truck for 10 years now and can't imagine living without one. Back when I drove a car I can't count how many times I've asked for help from a buddy with a truck.

  4. [quote name="Oh Shoot" post="1124579" timestamp="1394819434"]Well, it took couple years to get the black boxes, but they found pieces of wreckage within 5 days and it was consistent with planned flight path, not like this situation at all. - OS[/quote] Oh, for some reason I was remembering that one taking a couple weeks to locate wreckage, but two years to find where it was on the bottom of the drink.

  6. [quote name="mechanically" post="1124473" timestamp="1394801989"]I just wondered if there was anyone in the TGO universe who has ever lost function on a handgun due to a failed factory guide rod? I was thinking about adding one to my latest trigger job, but then realized that I don't think I've ever heard of one failing. Convince me to spend more money![/quote] Had the guide rod in a Gen II Glock 19 practically disintegrate. Granted, it had not been well maintained or stored, but nonetheless, the weapon ceased to function. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7.   Probably as valid as any other theory right now.
  8. Yeah, I'll just wait for the facts.  The only thing I see here are opinions, "unnamed" sources, unverifiable sources, self appointed experts who are trying to interpret information they don't understand... Yeah, I'll wait for the facts, thanks.
  9.   And who is the authority for what a "third-world" country is?  Is it the same authority that qualifies music as being art or just unintelligible noise?  The term is subjective to some degree.  Malaysia is a ####hole.  Is it as bad as Somalia?  No.  Is it as developed as Pakistan?  No.  This is part of the reason that when I'm coming back from crappy parts of the world I only fly US or UK carriers, even though the foreign carriers are normally a fraction of the cost.... there is a reason why.  Sure as hell wouldn't catch me on a Malaysian carrier.   And yes, while I would respect the opinion of someone in the airline security industry, such as a former director of the TSA, and make the assumption that they wouldn't put their credibility on the line and make unsubstantiated claims as fact unless those claims were actual fact, I've just seen too many of these experts paraded across the news in the past who turned out to be very wrong.   So no.  Once again, I don't hear zebras.  As I said before, every time; let me say again: EVERY TIME something like this happens we don't know all the facts until much, much later, so I don't see why people get so wrapped up in these little snippets of misinformation as they come out, then cling to them in order to whip up wacky stories.  Are you not aware that in order for 24 hour news to be successful they have to continue to put up more sensational nonsense than they did an hour ago?  Do ya see a conflict of interest there?   So, instead of getting all wrapped up in information coming from a thousand different sources, I'll just wait.  Besides, I know that even if they find every last piece of the wreckage tomorrow, along with all the bodies, there has been enough blowhard nonsense spread around the interwebz that 1/4 of people will never believe it was anything other than some vast conspiracy and the plane and its passengers are at some secret military base "just like on 9/11".  Boy, do I get the tingles when people prove new, rediculous conspiracy theories with old, rediculous conspiracy theories.
  10. [quote name="TankerHC" post="1124424" timestamp="1394780979"]So you use a single incident to make a point that this is not that uncommon? And by the way, Malaysia isnt a 3rd World Country, it is a developing Country with a growing economy and a major tourist industry. Completely different from 3rd World. [/quote] Many third world countries have a tourist industry. That's the only way they generate income. That doesn't mean that they are developed. Look at the standard of living for the vast majority of the populous, their infrastructure and, in this case, a government incapable of coordinating something so basic as a press release that you have a public conflict between bureaucracies because they aren't sharing information. And I'm not saying this is common. You're trying to twist my words to fit your narrative. I was pointing out that this isn't unprecedented. Plenty of large aircraft have gone missing for long periods of time before they located the wreckage. Using the fact that they haven't located as proof of some vast, Tom Clancy conspiracy would mean you would have to apply the same to every aircraft that has been missing this long. So, for the French airbus that they failed to locate for TWO YEARS.... what were the popular conspiracy theories back then. You can let your imagination run wild and think you hear zebras in Wyoming, but without anything other than your imagination to fill the void, you're no different that someone saying this was an alien abduction or a rift in the time-space continuum. Me? I'm gonna go with unicorn theory. I think a flock of unicorns took them off course then led them into the ocean where the bodies of the passengers were feasted upon by the demonic, mythical creatures at their secret undersea bunker.

  11. [quote name="TankerHC" post="1124421" timestamp="1394780530"]There is a 777 full of people missing. Not exactly an every day event. [/quote] Neither are solar eclipses, but there is a long standing precedent. How many weeks was that giant ass 380 airbus missing? There are dozens of stories like that. Now factor in that this was operated by a third world country where indoor plumbing is a luxury. Geez, yah... how could they ever #### this up? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. If history is any indicator, in the first days, weeks and months after something like this happening there is a plethora of inaccurate information, misinformation, confusion, opportunistic finger pointing and general crackpots taking a small piece of info and misrepresenting it to fit their narrative. The real answers don't start to come out until much later once everyone has already settled into their preconceived notions of what happened and can't be swayed by any amount of facts or objective reason. Am I the only one that has noticed this pattern? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. Let me again say, there are over the horizon devices that are used by backpackers which not only transmit coordinates with a date time group stamp, but also have emergency mode capability, which would indicate some emergency as soon as a button is pressed. These operate on a frequency which does not interfere with the aircraft and costs less than a single smartphone with data plan. But hey, I'm no airline risk mitigator.

  14. [quote name="TankerHC" post="1124093" timestamp="1394726276"]Except according to what I just watched they can only read the data from the stream. NSA can track that stream after the stream stops. If that is the case it shouldn't take long to locate that aircraft. Someone knows where it is. I'm sure now there is plenty going on behind the scenes we don't know about.[/quote] You ain't tracking jack squat over the horizon without using satellites. If they ain't using satellites and they ain't near a ground station for that signal to receive, no one is tracking nothing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. [quote name="Capbyrd" post="1124076" timestamp="1394725204"]I get that. Here's my question: DO YOU REALIZE THAT I AM ONLY TRYING TO MAKE A HUMOROUS COMMENT ABOUT THE VIDEO THAT WAS POSTED? [/quote] Apparently not. I didnt pick up the sarcasm. I took your comment at face value to mean that the pistol design is responsible for stupid people being stupid. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  16. [quote name="tnguy" post="1124073" timestamp="1394724751"]You know it :)[/quote] Just making sure. Post liked. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  17. [quote name="mikegideon" post="1124062" timestamp="1394723898"]You can get below radar by getting behind the radio horizon (by reducing altitude). That can be easily calculated if you know the height of the radar antenna and the distance, especially over water.[/quote] All you have to do is somehow silence every person who witnesses a gigantic passenger aircraft flying at treetop level where there is no airport near that area.

  18. [quote name="Capbyrd" post="1124061" timestamp="1394723879"]The first part of my statement is actually true. Watch the video. The gun fires from him pulling on the string. His hand is NOT on the grip. The second half of my statement was merely intended as humor. PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO! See with your own eyes how this happened. Grip safety, thumb safety, any kind of safety (in the on position) would have stopped this from happening. [/quote] I get that. Here's the question: who reholsters without gripping the grip of the pistol? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  19.   One would assume that when a person is reholstering they would be engaging the grip safety just from the natural way one pushes their pistol into the holster.  In that respect, the grip safety would not prevent this from happening.  One could argue that a person who has a grip safety could be mindful of how they reholster, as to not engage the grip safety when holstering, but wouldn't it be just as easy to make sure there isn't something jammed in your trigger guard? 
  20.   Scissors are unsafe for stoopid people.  Unfortunately, some stoopid people have guns.... some of them even have badges.   Sorry, if you shoot yourself with a gun on two different occasions, you can't say that the gun is unsafe.  There is a common denominator there.
  21.   Yup.  Know of a guy who did this very thing with a 1911.  He did not walk away from it unscathed.
  22.   Is that a Raiders reference?
  23.   AHHHH, NOOOOOO!  Not that!  I heard about this "hemispherical warming".... it's because of all the industrial pollution in the northern hemisphere (China/US).  Need proof?  Just look at how cool it is in Australia this summer compared to how hot it is in the US.  Global warming is coming to get us!  WE DIDN'T LISTEN!!!
  24. Ha, that's what I find so funny about their handling of this urban legend. On one hand the validate, because they have to, but in the same article used to validate it they try to invalidate it. So they're trying to debunk actual truth. Oh the irony. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  25. [quote name="Dustbuster" post="1124006" timestamp="1394717792"]That's a fact for sure, we know the idiots from lizard lick didn't repo their jet, but I also wonder who or how the airline / jet was insured or paid for. Boeing surely didn't just give it to em..we know what usually happens when any business is that far in debt. At any given time everyone in the world is playing peek a boo and hide n seek at a higher level. An elephant runs through the playing field and no one says a word...strange as hell..oh well.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 of course it ate my spelling.[/quote] But still, I think a more probable indicator of a bankrupt airline from a third world country is catastrophic failure due to poor maintenance related to poorly trained, underpaid and understaffed ground crew as opposed to crazy conspiracy.
