My problem is I always forget to listen to the in-flight announcements so I never figure out how to put my seatbelt on.

Halfway to Idiocracy
I’m almost 50 years old and I’ve been hearing about this for almost 50 years.
From the species that brought you the airplane, the atomic bomb, landing on the moon, and gator daycare - introducing swamp side luxury dining next to a fucking congregation of alligators…
The title does say “very safe” so that’s good enough for me.
Gas be damned, I gotta get my steps in!
I just woke up and read the headline as “highly photogenic bird flu”
Hey guys…I don’t think that picture’s to scale…
I have that book but that page is stuck together.
From the looks of the picture, Joost has no idea why he’s disqualified.

I have nothing to contribute to this conversation. Just wanted to say that was a horribly written article.
We tested Comac parts for FAA certification. When you’ve tested parts for decades you can pretty much nail down the cause of the failure be it design, process, materials, a combination and so forth.
Also the c919 is only certified in China. It can’t fly in the US or Europe.
There is more that goes into an airplane than the people maintaining or assembling it, which can and does go afoul. There is the entire manufacturing process, how materials are sourced, processed, refined, machined/formed, heat treated, stress relieved, coated/plated, assembled, and the list goes on. That is a major factor why aircraft are so safe and if you think China’s material and process controls are as rigorous as someone like Boeing or Airbus, it isn’t. It has taken decades of actual aircraft manufacturing to get the formula right for those respective companies and they continue to evolve as time goes on and new information is learned.
Oh boy I just turned into one of those “well actually” guys. I wasn’t trying to prove anything wrong. It got me interested in the 1906 eclipse and when I started looking into it things didn’t quite line up. This post spurred my curiosity!
Do we really need to politicize this? It was a scientific study performed in the UK.
1,700 years later and camels are still assholes.
I was lead to believe we would get Ant Man.
Talk about rubbing salt in the wound! Next up, Deaf Man at a Mozart Recital - John Everett Millais.
This piece continues to bring a tear to my eye.
