There is no evidence she had a brain.

If they claim they destroyed everything in the first round, they don't have a reason to go back.

Technically, orbit is just forward, really, really fast. "Up" is incidental to the process.

She's 22.

"Pressure" is typical. "Discomfort" is typical. If you don't have an underlying condition like a sinus infection, "pain" is not typical. You might want to talk to an ENT.

I'm a balloon pilot. My ears will typically first equalize about 500 feet above ground level. I'll occasionally hear small little "farts" as the pressure changes, but I rarely feel anything more than slight pressure.

>but multiple times I've gone from sea level to between 5k and 10k feet, and when my ear pressure equalize, it is often quite painful for minutes.

If your ears aren't equalizing until a 5k ascent, that's approximately 2psi pressure differential. I can see how that would be quite painful.

If your ears won't clear at all, yes, you'd have a problem. But, you're indicating your ears do eventually equalize. You won't experience more pain than what you already do.

Even though there is an 8psi difference between cabin and atmospheric pressure, your sinuses apparently start "leaking" at a 2psi differential; they won't build up an 8psi difference across your eardrums.

You might try a nasal/sinus decongestant before an ascent. Pseudoephedrine works best for me, but it tends to make my head swim. Oxymetazoline nasal spray works well, but I get terrible rebound congestion from it. Phenylephrine pills do nothing, but phenylephrine nasal spray ("4-Way") works very well for me.

They *do* restrain disruptive passengers in those situations, very often by duct taping them to their seats. The risk of a lawsuit from the psycho is less than the risk of a lawsuit from every other passenger in the cabin when they refuse to restrain the nut job.

Screamingly painful? Bursting eardrums? Probably not.

Atmospheric pressure at 30,000 feet is about 4.3psia. Aircraft cabins are pressurized to about 12psia. There will be about an 8psig difference when you lose pressurization.

To put that into perspective, diving to a depth of 20 feet is about 8.6psig relative to the surface. A sudden loss of pressure would be the equivalent of quickly rising from the bottom of a 20' pool.

For most, the pressure will equalize almost instantly.

Meh. I'm more microplastic than meat at this point. I should probably be considered a cyborg.

>Burn down the executive~~'s houses?~~.

FTFY.

No fatalities/injuries means the management team hasn't learned a thing. So, cringe.

I want to retire some day. I want politicians who share that value.

All elected positions should have an age limit. If you are over the median life expectancy of the populace, you are not eligible to begin a new term.

MAGA is a personality cult. It will rip itself apart as soon as Trump is gone.

If Trump ever thought that Vance was a threat, he'd try to have him executed, just like he did with Pence. Convince Trump that he's surrounded by traitors, and he'll bring down the whole apparatus himself.

Start putting up billboards reminding the Secret Service how many terms a president is allowed to serve.

Billboards reminding JD Vance that he can finish out up to two years of Trump's term and remain eligible for two terms of his own.

"Remind" Trump that everyone around him is plotting against him.

When do you want to cast your vote?

Geneva Checklist.

There will be elections.

Whether we use touch screens or guillotines to cast our ballots is an unanswered question. But there will be elections.

Call his bluff.

Ya'll are about the size of, and politically left of, California. 54 of 538 electoral votes. 52 of 435 members in the House of Representatives. You'd be another California.

You're the last thing that the GOP wants involved in US politics.

If you hate Trump, you can drive a wedge between him and the GOP simply by reminding us that you have universal healthcare, and you intend to spread it.

I've started referring to them as the "Problem Class"

Chicago did that.

Turned out to be a crock of shit.

I heard that Trump jumped up and down and threw his juice box when JD explained he couldn't pardon her.
