  • How do you know it isn't running away from home?

  • Halfway to Idiocracy

  • I'm almost 50 years old and I've been hearing about this for almost 50 years.

  • I just woke up and read the headline as "highly photogenic bird flu"

  • Watch as Musk seamlessly blends in with his surroundings. Predators are unable to distinguish his profile from the white yacht with black trim.

  • Hey guys...I don't think that picture's to scale...

  • 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.

  • You can go to this FAA Link and view "Records of Accidents and Incidents. Takes a bit to learn to interpret the data but there are a lot of incidents. If I recall it includes both commercial and general aviation.

    Edited because I can't English properly.

  • BROTHER MAYNARD: Armaments, Chapter Two, Verses Nine to Twenty-One.

    SECOND BROTHER: And Saint Attila raised the Hand Grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this Thy Hand Grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy." And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu—

    MAYNARD: Skip a bit, Brother.

  • I remember when he blew a maniac in traffic who shot a thick cloud on his back for hours that he didn't get to see because of the eclipse. He never made it home because he was too tired.

  • Black Hole Sun! Just as predicted by the prophet Soundgarden.

  • Do doo be-do-do
    Mah Nà Mah Moon
    Do do-do do

  • Upvoted because it truly is an unpopular opinion.

  • The way this things reads it either affects everything or nothing that gets pumped into the atmosphere. My guess is nothing because who will ever say their express purpose is to affect the temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight?

  • The authors wrote: “Although the specific mechanism of erectile dysfunction caused by computer use has not been clarified in the present study, the damage of sedentary behaviour to erectile function appears to be clear, which needs to attract public attention.

    The study also says that for every 1.2 hours spent using the computer the chances of experiencing ED increase by 3.57. I'm starting to formulate a theory as to the mechanism of ED caused by computer use. Stick with me here. The longer men sit in front of a computer the greater the chances they view porn and "bust a nut" (I believe that's the technical term) thus increasing the perception that they are suffering from ED because as we all know, when you ask someone if they watch porn on their computer the answer is almost always "no".

    I am not a scientist or formally educated and suffer from lower levels of follicle-stimulating hormones. The edits were to fix spelling errors. Probably some still lingering around.

  • Can't we just enjoy the joke? You've brought up a topic worthy of discussion, but for a shitpost thread?

    Edit: Added a word

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Is your Significant Other unattractive, not too smart, or have some other "limitation"? If so, why did you decide to stay with them?
