I think it was Airport (not Airport 707). It was a Rank film.

I love how spoofing it meant 95% of the dialog and story was the same. What a classic.

Actually they changed the plot to make it less silly.

In the original, the WW2 pilot is on the ground and is lowered into the 707 from a helicopter through the front window. This is briefly referenced in Flying High when they lower the window like in the original.

The screen was only in that position or closed. There was no friction joint. You could only view the screen if you were standing up !

I always boil one egg or three because I'm embarassed to boil two.

The Camry is imported from Japan. And the Rav4 from Canada.

"Airplane" is called "Flying High" in Australia because the film it spoofed was an Australian film.

Second, You could easily use a fake ID or fake identity to get a cellphone

You don't actually need any ID in the US to set up a phone account. You could be anyone.

Prepaid phones don't need an ID.

Arrests for illegal crossings from Canada spiked in the last fiscal year, but remain a fraction of the number of those from Mexico.

I don;t get it, surely its the US thats responsible for border crossings with Canada ? Its not like they're trekking across the mountains like the Von Trapps.

Really ? I think you'll find that clause means you do not own copyright to anything you post on X.

its a good thing the US isn't dependent on Canadian electricity or gas....

It will affect Canada a lot more.

Even with 25% tariffs, it will still be cheaper to make in Mexico. And they will no longer have to pay the workers the same as the US, as they do under USMC.

Look at the any post about Israel or trans.

The number of likes is completely out of proportion to anything else. A top political post might get 1.2k likes, a question maybe 4k, an Israel bot will get 23k, all short replies or replies repeating the original post in that section.

A trans post would get 22k likes, and literally the day after the election they vanished, they now get well under 500.

With a high like count, it gets pushed up into popular and it makes their view look more popular than is actually is.

BTW, almost all the bots on reddit are produced by the moderators of that subreddit.
