Large planes like that use thrust reversers to stop.

A bird striking the engine will kill that engine.

A dead engine means the plane is harder to control at low airspeed and will start to turn towards the damaged engine.

Once they’re on the ground, pilots will use the thrust reversers to redirect the engine thrust forward and slow the plane down, but thrust reversing with a damaged engine will cause the plane to turn very sharply.

And remember, this can all occur in seconds. It’s easy to judge when you’re sitting in your home, but think about the last time you had a near accident while driving. How close were you to disaster? Are you sure you’d be able to make the right call if a deer jumped in front of your car?

That’s always been the play.

Do heinous thing.

Say heinous thing is policy

Make sure policy never changes.

No, but your government probably does.

Or is this too abstract a concept to extrapolate.

Fantastic, because we all know facial ID has no problems identifying non-white people.

I can see it now: Idris Elba getting picked up by the feds because O’Hare fired this thing up and recorded 700 Idris Elba’s All boarding different flights using different names.

I mean, you never owned your passport, ever.

If you look at the very first page, it says “ property of the US government” and then there’s some blurb about tampering being a felony.

Same thing for a diver’s license. You don’t own it, your state does.

I do agree that moving to digital identification is a huge mistake. It’s too easy to lose access to a digital device or account. Or have it spoofed in some way. I’d much rather have a physical ID that won’t run out of battery or have a glitch that makes accessing it impossible for an unknown length of time.

Knowing conservative governance, they’ll offer government subsidized plane tickets to anyone who tests positive, because shipping them out means the US numbers will be lower.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he was in New York on some legitimate business, they caught him on camera at a Starbucks near the murder, blasted his image all over the news and social media, and just waited for someone to call.

Then when they got the call, they grabbed a backpack with “evidence” and claimed he had it on him when they arrested him.

Did anyone believe that he was wondering around for 3 days with a bag that was holding the murder weapon, fake IDs, and a hand written manifesto? He ditched another bag, and escaped on an e-bike. Why would he then run around for three days with the rest of the evidence.

Sadly, there would be no reaction mass.

All that would happen is the lcd panel would boil and crack, and the processor would overheat soon after because nothing is carrying away the heat.

No one was jamming the Russian space shuttle, or shooting missiles at it.

It’s one thing to have an autonomous landing program on an aircraft, it’s another thing entirely to have a program that can react to surface to air missiles, enemy jamming, and over the horizon air to air missiles.

Elon musk is an idiot if he thinks a drone can replace all of the capabilities of even an F22, let alone the F35, which is a multi-role aircraft capable of handling all of the above and more. The F35 can jam, do reconnaissance, network with friendly fighters to fire over the horizon missiles, and drop bombs that weigh 1000 times what a drone can carry. Was it a good use of tax dollars considering the budget overruns? Probably not. But can it be replaced by drone swarms? Hell no. The F35 is an unmatched weapons platform, that’s why nato countries have been buying them.

What bothers me admit space X, was they awarded a 3 billion dollar contract for Starship. They were awarded this by Kathy Lueders, and interim director at NASA, who reached out to only SpaceX and told them to drop their bid to get the contract. She, as an interim director, single handedly and I’d argue fraudulently awarded over 3 billion dollars to SpaceX. She then went on to retire from NASA six months later to take a job as manager of the SpaceX facility at Boca Chica.

Fraud and lies means we’re probably not going back to the moon. Just like how Tesla got so popular because they deceive investors with unachievable ranges on electric cars and the promise of full self driving cars.

I figured it would be pretty instant as soon as he mentioned tariffs.

Your average Joe may not know much about how tariffs work, but the finance people that do most of wall street trading, and the big corporations that rely on international trade certainly know how they work.

Trump basically promised to halve the market for most products in the US. Sure, some businesses may see this as an opportunity to increase prices above the tariff costs to squeeze even more profits, but any large company that operates on volume, like Walmart, should be shitting bricks right now. If half the people shopping at Walmart right now won’t be able to afford the products next year, the company is going to have to massively downsize or risk financial ruin. They already operate on narrow profit margins per item. If they sell less of imported goods, their revenue will drop through the floor.

I’ve just accepted that no matter how much I try to save, or what kind of job I get, the economy will explode every ten years and I’ll get shafted.

Who needs to retire anyway.

Oh boy, here we go again.

Kids these days are born too late to invade the Middle East, but born just in time to invade Canada, apparently.

I just hope we don’t have to wait all the way until 2077 for the Great War. I want to see deathclaws and super mutants while my eyesight is still good.

Doesn’t the Bible say that the coming of the antichrist will also bring plagues and war?

We’re 2/2

If only all of human history didn’t disagree with you.

I think you’re forgetting the nukes.

When the Roman Empire fell, they didn’t turn half the population of the planet into dust along with them.

Today, through the power of technology and psychopaths, there’s actually a chance to undo thousands of years of technological progress in an afternoon.

Toss that shit in a river and go back to your life like nothing happened.

Laying low and hiding just makes people suspicious. If the cops come looking and your work and friends haven’t seen you since the shooting, you look guilty as fuck.

Leave no trace and go back to your life. Looks way more plausible that you just took a mini vacation that way.

Been fucking my wife for years.

Never thought this would be how I found out I was gay.

I didn’t know you could use cash for rental bikes.

All the ones in Chicago need the app in order to rent them.
