It's actually covered in aviation medicine/human factors info for pilots that flatulence increases with flying due to the pressure changes involved (and an airliner will be pressurised to ~8000ft so there will be a pressure change). I think it might even be discouraged to keep it in because it can lead to pain.

How do you feel about the USS Liberty incident?

Quote from: K_Dubb on September 15, 2019, 10:04:18 PM
Because the Russian government wouldn't let them, same as Estonians.  Under the Tsars it was Orthodoxy instead of their Lutheranism, and under the Soviets it was ethnic Russian apparatchiks and other carpetbaggers systematically diluting the population.

I took an Estonian friend to a bakery here run by a couple from Tartu, thinking to give him a taste of home.  He took one look at them and muttered "they're Russians."  Even generations later, they know the difference.

I spent a week in Estonia earlier this year, and it's not hard to tell which are the Russians. A large number of them seemed to be drunk constantly, kept well apart from the Estonians, and expected everyone to speak Russian. The years under the Russians weren't kind to Estonia, and they're making an effort to bury or let rot any reminders from then.

Didn't really encounter "Estonian cuisine" anywhere, but this savoury pancake was pretty good.

'Midget-tossing' event planned for NSW hotel labelled offensive amid calls for it to be cancelled

QuoteThe Great Northern Hotel in Newcastle is promoting a "Wolf of Watt Street" event â€" a play on the venue's address and the Hollywood film The Wolf of Wall Street â€" to be held on September 21.

The hotel released a video and poster spruiking a pop-up casino that also said: "If that won't keep you on your toes the whole night, sign up for our FREE MIDGET-TOSSING!!" "Hit the target and receive a FREE DRINK!!" the poster said. The video has since been taken down.

Paralympian and former national secretary for the Short Statured People of Australia, Alicia Jenkins, said the promotion had left her speechless. "I was probably more than gobsmacked. It is horrifying, it is gut-wrenching, and I suppose my disappointment and my disgust is really hard to put into words," she said. "It still appears that dwarfism is the last disability that people seem to think it is OK to mock and it is just wrong. "On a daily or weekly basis, I have people mocking me on the street, trying to take my photo, calling me midget and laughing and pointing at me."

It is not clear from the hotel's promotion whether any short-statured people will actually be thrown at the event. But Ms Jenkins said the event was deeply offensive, regardless of whether real people were used. "Whether there [are real people] or not, the fact that they are using the word midget and [they say] hit the mark and you get free drinks … it just can't happen," she said.

I want the next headline to be "NSW bar bans midgets due to midget tossing fears".

Trolling is a young man's game.

It ain't easy.

Ya go for the British pound.

That's not in great shape either. Maybe Euros?

1 USD = 1.46 AUD

Don't go for the Australian dollar pate! 

I guess since this is the venting complaints of ex users show, I've got a complaint:

I disliked that in the run up to Art Bell's return the main clique/gang of four decided have a campaign where they'd go out and report a lot of sources of old Art Bell and C2C shows so they'd get taken down. Bunch of snitches.

Don't forget leg day, brahs

Belated thought:
Was it wise for pate to go out on a beer run as smashed as he was?

She'll be right.

I've heard people describe listening to a radio show as a friend simulator for the lonely and socially retarded.

Oh good, 3hrs later and you're still live.

I do have a question for Liberace as a first time longtime:

Will there ever be more Raidotrainwreck or Spec Sheet?

...I'll take my answer off the air because I need to bail now.

My beer is getting warm, dammit.  Needz moar opening.

I'm glad a made a "late-start" side bet, Ona night like this...

-p

Today's promise of a show was just a ruse for Liberace to play his demo tape in hopes of getting a record deal.

hope to be heard live by at least a half-dozen people.

Some of them might even be on the other side of the world or taking a shit.

Hillary Clinton Reads Her Emails at Venice Art Show

Quote“Someone alert the House G.O.P.,” she wrote on Twitter on Thursday, captioning a picture of her seated with reams of paper that were part of “Hillary: The Hillary Clinton Emails,” a work on display in the Despar Teatro Italia in Venice.
On a replica of the desk in the Oval Office, which eluded her in 2016, were copies of some of the roughly 60,000 pages of emails that formed a central controversy during her presidential campaign.
