they keep pat around for the same reason they keep rachel and keef and the rest: ratings. as long as these people can get eyeballs, they'll have a job.
people will watch rachel tomorrow.. she might even make mincemeat outta pat. she's doing her gig, pat is doing his. collect paychecks.
some people will say, 'yes, but keef and rachel are reality-based' as if the left wing bitch industry is better than the rw loon industry when in fact they need each other.

It is:

2.) more reality based than the right wing loons (I'll grant you that both sides are slanted, but the left slant is more reasonable)

— As the space shuttle Endeavour lifted off into orbit Wednesday evening, several pieces of debris fell off the external fuel tank, and at least one hit the orbiter.
I saw that, or one of them, live during liftoff. It was right at SRB separation. And the chip that fell--looked like a rectangle about 1x4 inches--was orange. Just like the ext. fuel tank. What are the odds.
Remember when the first shuttles started going up? The external fuel tank was blazing white, just like the SRBs and the shuttle itself. After about 3 flights somebody had the brilliant realization that if you left off the white paint from the tank, it would save some (really large) number of pounds to boost, which could instead be devoted to payload or fuel savings.
What if that paint wasn't just decorative? What if it helped hold the insulation in place on the tank during ascent?
All these years I thought that the payload increase etc. was a worthwhile tradeoff for making the thing look ratty and rusty. But just tonight it occurred to me that the paint might have been a more important matter than just decorative.
maybe this has been discussed publicly by somebody but I am going to claim it as an original thought because I never read of it anywhere and I am a space junkie from *way* back.

I know you've prob already thought about this, but could you try the Goodwill for a used one?
The one she had in between the two bikes was purchased on Craig's List, and the wheel fell off one night when she was riding home.
This is getting to be a keystone cops' scenario. She could have been severely hurt that night, but she (thankfully) ended up with abrasions, nothing more.
I suppose this is not a time to be arguing why I like living in an urban area.
In the last two years, she's been mugged while going to the Dairy Queen (two blocks from our house), and had 2 bikes stolen.
It's insane.

It takes a couple of minutes to suffocate I guess. The problem was the capsule was very hot after the fire and worse, the design of the door required removed bolts AND opening the door inward against the corpses. I'll guess 10 to 15 minutes. All that was fixed (including the 100% O2 at 5 psi) on the redesign.
