Re: Thought of the day.
I have a Masters Degree in History Education. I didn't know much about Dunkirk until last year.
I think history standards in secondary education have improved, but they still have a long way to go. Most students don't want to learn history, and the biggest reason is nobody is telling them why it is important early on in their schooling. STEM is being emphasized, and for good reason, but STEM prepares students for careers. Social Studies prepares students for life in society.

Re: Thought of the day.
Having flown LH as much as I have and as much as I have enjoyed its previous livery (simple, yet elegant), I think it's going to take a very long time for me to get used to this one. Even the new AA livery has grown on me, but this one... hmmm. Bad move LH, bad move.

Re: Thought of the day.
I ALMOST want to say that it's SOFIA, but it doesn't have the blisters to denote it. Though I did notice a bird land on the outer left engine while LH was taxiing to to terminal. Could also be the SCA.plunderbird wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2018 7:13 pmNot to my liking. Wonder what the NASA 747 (in the background, during the last few seconds) was doing there?

Re: Thought of the day.
A key part of breeding Betta fish is to have the male in one tank and the female in another tank, both close enough that they can see each other for a few days. Notice the "they can see each other" part. Betta breeding proves that the expert was wrong and, in fact, I am not any of the horrible names he called me in foreign languages.
Though of the day: I keep a grudge for way too long. I need to forgive, forget, and move on.

Re: Thought of the day.
Speaking of ego and other things related, brings me to my thought of the day. If you want to know just how stupid humanity can get these days, look no further than Youtube. Amazing just how insane the comments can get these days. And no topic or subject is immune. Just when you thought you had seen it all, there comes another dimwit even dimmer than the previous dimwit. Sometimes it's like who can out-dimwit the previous dimwit of all time.
I always tell myself to stop looking at the comments, but do I learn? No. Maybe that makes me a dimwit too!

Re: Thought of the day.
We got up and got there at 7AM. There was a crowd of men, mostly over 50, all in pickup trucks, waiting for the door. The door opened and they went straight to the counter. My dad and I kind of wanted to see one of these safes, but we had to get in line first to buy it. We could see it when we get it home. So this crowd of men started paying and the cashiers started calling "We've got one safe to load, two safes, three..." At this point I started to worry that they would run out. One guy bought two of them! We were 7th in line, so ours was the eighth to load. There was one other guy behind us, so they sold 9 in that initial wave of customers. Somebody said that they only had 23 in the back, so they still had quite a few when we were done. We all got in our trucks, drove around to the loading dock, got our safe loaded by the forklift driver, and went home. It took over an hour for my parents and I to get it in the house and stood up.
Thought of the Day:
Nobody ever smash-and-grab steals a 300lb safe and runs out the door and rides off with it on their bicycle.
