[quote=BaltimoreSkins;1338157]Being conservative you might have a different take than I do on the regulation of this. I find it crazy that people can launch things into flight space where it might interfere with air travel. The FAA doesn't need to give approval for this? People who fly hot air balloons are required to submit their manifests why not people that fly car sized unmanned balloons?[/quote]

Balloons weighing 6lbs or less are unregulated. I guess they assume at that weight they aren't a hazard.

Byrd strikes are hazardous anything sucked into a jet engine is a hazard.

I didn't know that. It is crazy to think that a balloon the size of a car is less than 6 pounds.

Wife started making Kombucha at home to get her microbial growth started she bought a french press. We have started using it for coffee. Game changer

Oh I think it’s very silly by Biden. Clearly the government overreacting but Biden wanting to appear politically strong in a response to criticism of his previous incompetence. To think he’s not in play here is absurd.

So shooting down the little hobby group ballon is justified but letting the CCP spy balloon traverse the entire country and not saying a thing until local press In Montana said something?

Come on man, and put the previous administration here in the same actions…it’s leading every show, SNL opens, front page on papers and every morning show. We know that

You go river tubing, drink good beers, wife makes kombucha .. I dont even like kombucha but i want a wife that makes it homemade

Seems like in your life you have every thing figured out.

If you were a house, youd be like a cool log cabin on a lake that doesnt allow gas engine boats.

This is what political threads should be all about: Coffee and making fun of each other.

I'd prefer to think of myself as more condescending.

To OP I have never had Kombucha either till she made it. The process is disgusting but the taste is not bad. She boiled tea and then let it air ferment for a couple of weeks. Did some other things to it too but the entire time I was imagining two Chinese twenty year olds , 2,000 years ago, looking at this fementing mess and daring each other to drink it. Whoever took that step was a brave person.

I just wanted to say B-more, if you were a house you'd be this house.
