Who's head is that at the base of the sideways stop sign at 0:04?

Ah, see it's a trash bag when viewed on YT.

The surfaces--and the bathrooms in particular---totally true. The air? Can be an issue (there are studies)--but the filtration systems themselves are excellent. HEPA 99.7%. There are seating tricks; sit either first row economy ("Economy Plus") or last row of first class. Select the window seat and try to put your companion next to you or---fly an airline with empty seat policies (e.g. JetBlue). Don't rush to get on (although they are mostly now loading back to front anyway)--get on as reasonable late as you can--that way, all those people aren't walking by you exhaling on you.

The reason for the first row economy or last row first is: you don't want people walking by you all flight on the way to the bathrooms; you want to be the person walking by THEM (selfish but...); and the same with the window seating and the last-reasonable minute boarding.

Also, I carry a two zip locks on at the top of my carry on bag; one has three disposable gloves, Clorox or equivalent wipes, and Purell or equiv. etc. Move into seat out of aisle, then with gloves on, wipe down the latch to the overhead (you're going to touch it twice) and then every surface from the aisle to window that you touch---armrests, seat back display, seat back display surface, bulkhead, window shade, tray table locks, tray table both surfaces and edges, buckle, tang, seat controls, audio controls---no point to seat fabric--then roll the glove inside out with the wipes inside and put into the empty ZIploc as a trash bag. Usually two wipes does the job. Purell hands and settle in.

Been doing this since before the pandemic because I totally agree with you.

Airplane bathrooms are all about not touching surfaces with clean hands after you've cleaned them...they are staggeringly filthy. Infectious disease experts have been known to gag in horror at what gets swabbed from the sink handles, toilet flush, and door lock/handle lol. Paper towel is your friend--as our your forearms and elbows.

Ironic that it was unveiled from a trash bag and eventually wound up in one.

It's a train from the "Deutsche Bahn" and those guys are there to clean up the train (trash bag, etc.) not "police".

And "artist"?? wtf. I have never seen a graffiti on a train, that looked nice, just your normal tagging bs. Stick to walls, the Back of Autobahn-Signs etc.

TRASH

BAG

PANTS

If they were serious about cleaning this up there wouldn't have been misspoken numbers for months, and they wouldn't have left BP in a position to dictate and make decisions. They would been a lot more open, and while they would have used BPs resources and some recommendations this cover up stuff wouldn't have even been considered. It really didn't matter if BP suffered financially, that's what happens when you punch a hole in the ground and don't properly manage it.......and then fail to have the capacity you claim to have to deal with the problem in a timely manner.

There were a lot of people who probably would have volunteered to work there for room and board if they had some kind of assurances that the air wasn't toxic and they would be given at least adequate protection against contact with toxins. And even more people who would have liked to be paid to clean up the mess, and I mean really clean it up. Not out there with shovels and a trash bag in white paper suits. Bring in some machinery, dig and line some trenches to divert water to where it could be treated as it came in a long the coast lines. Boom the waterways and treat the water before spilling it into the reserves and parks.

Most of the footage you saw were guys in white outfits with shovels and trash bags.....if you had a spill anywhere else in the world of petroleum based products, they'd laugh at you if you just had guys with shovels and trash bags trying to clean it up. A few guys on dozers/hoes/bobcats could replace all of those guys for a majority of the work you saw being done, handwork can not be completely replaced but the majority of it can be and much more efficiently. It would have cut the penetration time down significantly having a machine sweep it away instead of having people trying to outdig the ocean current.

And it's not as if they couldn't justify the cost of severely damaging equipment in the process of this clean up..since sand and oily grit are going to wear machines out if they are exposed to it constantly. They probably could have gotten the machines damn near donated by any of the manufacturers to get their brands on TV and in the news.

Cat probably likes the clear box. Had a cat that's dead now, would want to get inside any box laying around. If you had the flaps closed and they would kinda support her weight, she'd jump up there and immediately fall through when she got to the center. Would also do it with laundry baskets...... could flip one over and her and she'd just lay in there and bat at people through the holes in it. Miss this cat, she was a complete weirdo but funny.

Then another cat has this obsession with anything plastic, at first glance you'd think it wanted what was in the plastic bags, but it wants IN the bag. The sunday ads that are color and kinda slippery like plastic, she'll lay on those and spread them all around to roll around on. Trash bags, especially the see through white kind if it's really crinkled and makes noise she'll play with them, roll around all over them. I think it's just the noise the plastic makes that she's obsessed with. The sister to this particular cat has an obsession with running water and bath tubs, but doesn't like to get wet. So she'll come running if you're taking a leak, washing your hands, running water in the kitchen sink (although this less so because it was used to give her a bath once and she's afraid of it now). She'll jump in bath tubs and roll around as long as they are pretty much dry. These are cats taken in as kittens when they were found in a wood pile in the yard, with no mother cat in sight....as long with a third male kitten that was given away..no idea if he has any strange obsessions.

well I have a childhood fear of black trash bags, I suppose this my have something to do with my prejudice.

2. do i have links to back up what they are claiminga bout the fed's actions?

so you can downvote it?

Ok... will do but I wanna explain my worldview.

In my world, banks have soft control and set the quality and presentation of all kinds of credit and assets. Not direct power, but they have TONS of influence.

The Federal Reserve is pretty much a bank of a bank. They lend to banks and double or triple or quadruple the lending power of the other big banks.

Banks aren't really good or bad, they are just really financial entities.

it was ben. i dont remember what branch but he definitely told me he was in the military. that was one of the things we fought about. i still fucking hate that guy.

^My mom just called. She recounted how a blabbering drag queen dressed in what can be best described as SM attire made from trash bags and wine-bottle fishnets showed up at her work and attempted to molest her with a pencil. I hope it wasn't you, because I heard the security knocked out a couple of 'her' teeth when the guy tried to suck all of their dicks while being thrown out.

Dragon!? hah! I've witnessed dead animals more fierce than that and twice as foul. It was atleast 20% trash bag, 10% rubber, 9% super soaker, 1% scary, and about 60% nerdcore.

If these conservative lawmakers keep this up we might as well all wear giant trash bags on our bodies.

Thanks, joe.

I mean, I've seen some damn big ones before, but holy hell. That might as well have been a nuke.
I'm just trying to figure out where it came from - it almost looks like it came from the middle of the road - but burying that amount of ordinance in the road is quite a feat - and surely the soldiers/Marines would have noticed the fresh pavement/signs of recent roadwork.
Before you deploy you have to sit through a class on IEDs - how to recognize them and what to do.
Not fun. They (insurgents) may not be the best trained, but they are hella crafty. It used to be just a 155mm shell in a trash bag in a pile of rubble on the side of the road. From there they moved them to hanging on the back side of guard rails. Then they started to put them in culverts under the roads. When that got old, they would actually take out a section of curb, put in a shell, and form a new seamless curb around it. The point being is that anything can be an IED. And they have no regard for human life, so you aren't safe even if you're in the middle of a crowded town. That's when I was the most scared - on patrol and when the traffic gets so slow you have to walk along side of the HMMWV. (Yeah, memorare, I was fucking there. Not just Kuwait.) From there, it's extremely difficult to see if anyone around has a weapon. So not only I had to worry about getting my ass blown off, there was increased possibility of it getting shot off, too.

All in all, I'm just glad to have made it back in one piece, but it saddens me every time I see a clip like this.
