    NV - 59 Dead, over 500 injured in Mandalay Bay shooting in Las Vegas, 1 Oct 2017 #3

    Card counting is when gamblers keep track of which cards are showing or have been played. It's a way to better your odds of winning. It's not illegal exactly, but Casino's will throw you out if you win too much doing that.

    Hurricane Nate - October 2017

    Here I've been thinking how draining these hurricanes have been, I can't imagine the emotional toll being in the path must be! Thank you Henry2326 for keeping us all up to date!

    Hurricane Irma - #2

    I have chickens, and it really isn't cruel. Like swaddling a baby, chickens can't fight, or thrash around and get hurt if they're rolled in paper and taped, as you see in the picture. I imagine they'll be secured so they can't tumble around after the picture was taken as well.

    Hurricane Irma

    I live in the midst of some really nasty fires, my son's father was evacuated due to the same fires, and it looked as if we would have to be as well. Keeping in mind we have 2 ferrets 4 cats 2 birds (1 finch and a meyer's macaw) figuring out a plan to evacuate all of them as well...

    US Navy: 7 missing sailors found inside damaged destroyer USS Fitzgerald, June 2017

    Looking at the photos on the BBC website, it appears that the Naval ship was "t-boned" (that is NOT the correct nautical term but it's the best way to describe what I'm seeing) by the cargo ship. That would indicate that the cargo ship hit the Naval vessel. The question is, why wasn't the...

    You know what? That's just funny. I needed the laugh, thank you.

    Man Dragged off United Airlines/Flight Overbooked, April 2017

    It can be news, provided a news source is included with the twit... On the whole though, social media is rarely news, it's just a self justifying bubble reinforcing a particular point of view.

    Said vouchers expire fairly quickly too. If you don't fly often the vouchers may well expire before you can use them.

    Man Dragged off United Airlines/Flight Overbooked, April 2017

    You mean like this guy? http://www.latimes.com/business/lazarus/la-fi-lazarus-united-low-priority-passenger-20170412-story.html For what it's worth, airlines desperately need an overhaul. Flying didn't used to be such an unrequited misery! I still think United is to blame here. They have a...

    Man Dragged off United Airlines/Flight Overbooked, April 2017

    If United hadn't dropped the ball in the first place, (by not increasing the compensation for being bumped etc...) the police wouldn't have been called. Like it or not, it's on United, because this happened on their property, after they called the police, after they fouled up their scheduling...

    Man Dragged off United Airlines/Flight Overbooked, April 2017

    United isn't known for listening to anyone, ever... this is the airline that smashed a musician's guitar and wouldn't replace it until he released a song about their terrible customer service, (and subsequently caused their stock to dip), the stories about this are the stuff of legend. So, no...
