I would say protesting at a port would be less likely to garner international attention, and probably would be easier to shutdown quickly and relatively quietly.

Shutting down an airport is much more public, therefore probably safer in the long run. Also more likely to be reported on because it affects the public in a more direct way. Yes, it inconveniences some people, but it gets the message out.

Either way, I doubt it will do much to change anything soon enough.

I think that it is more about creating a routine for this particular person than the dog being neglected. Having the dog water on the list normalizes everything else. There was no instruction to clean up dog pee everywhere either.

My first time shutting down a factory at the end of second shift for the weekend. I shut down the compressors first, and that hard stopped a bunch of other equipment that relied on the air pressure. Lessons learned. I spent another hour restarting then properly shutting down everything. Never did that again.

Personally, it's amusing at best. In the same way as the girl in Jurassic Park using "Unix" to hack the system.

That being said, I still give mad props for the development that occurred during that era.

The joke is that a couple of drunk guys enduring an eternal winter came up with something better than silicon valley could.

Yeah, that happens. That's why they make block heaters. The moral of the story is don't be a dick about people not knowing everything about their vehicle. I still argue with some of the smartest people I know about filling their tank before severe weather hits. We're not all on the same level, most people just expect it to work.

Speaking of knowing the pitfalls, how did you manage to run out of coolant my friend? That's day one of owning a beater.

Independence Day

You are definitely right. That was kind of my point.

It's sad that her immediate response was to feel the need to remain "professional", instead of slapping the douchebag.

Hopefully more hosts, producers, and maybe eventually the public can start making this behavior not ok

I'm glad the host didn't let her continue after seeing what happened and called that shit out. Small glimpses of hope in humanity

Why do you think the dog was complicit with the distraction tactic

I tried wiping that bird off my screen for a few seconds.
