I felt it was a staged to show academy cares about diversity.. A botched attempt and insult to both movies, IMHO. As sad is it is, I do not think this is too far fetched, especially after all the "Oscars Too White" public outcry. Don't think it was an attempted insult to both movies, just...
Jump to postTrump should talk to the weather bureau. Since he took office the weather in most of the U.S. has been well below average for the season. Has Trump replied "Fake News"?

Jump to postHello A.net, I recently wondered about the emergence of SST startups like Boom aero and one of the biggest problems currently is trans-land travel and sonic booms.

So does anyone know if the 764 is used on TATL, my understanding is that is the question, not why the 764 was not purchased by more airlines.

The Republicans are opening cans of worms left and right, and it will come back to bite them in the ass. This is another example of simply silencing opposition without a thought.
