But not the genocide. They just don't like Hamas hitting back

closet thing I did to that was a simulated rope break while instructing on gliders

Yeah same, except I had a bunch of actual rope breaks (faulty rope). It's fucking harrowing.

Yeah, you summed up all my thoughts on the subject really great. It really feels that it would be better to have airports a bit further away from population centers, but I know it's not always feasible.

At least at my local I can glide my little Piper down to the tulip fields, at least that's what I keep telling myself. Doing it in an airliner... it must have been horrifying for the pilots.

Some people were saying, based on a video of the crash that it might have been mechanical, as they heard the sound of the RAT that only deploys on double engine failure.

Also, wouldn't a bad config cause a full-on stall? It seemed more of a controlled glide to me.

Oh, yeah, totally. Fuck Boeing. That this is likely not Boeing's fault does not mean that they are not rotten nevertheless.

It's supposedly a reverse-engineered copy of the Russian Su-33, which is gorgeous itself, if a bit dated.

There is a lot of insane gore about this on the internet, people taking pictures of severed heads and stuff, don't look it up for your sanity. The plane fell on a med school dormitory, killed a whole bunch of students in addition to those on board.

Some people say that the RAT (an emergency device to power the plane in case of double engine failure) can be heard after takeoff, while the engines were silent. There is a lot of people claiming the flaps were not correctly extended, but there is no way to know that properly from the published videos, and the takeoff flap config of this plane is not that discernible from a distance from the flaps up config anyway.

The plane was 13 years old, so it's not likely that it's Boeing to blame for this.

It's too early to say anything and to speculate.

Because the nazis bought the government that owns nasa

Yes it is and dictatorships can't even jump that.

Just write out messenger ribonucleic acid. Or refer to it as a "transcriptome constituent".

Able to hand power over without bloody civil wars.

Add to waterfall that the dev team is replaced by a different team from India who don't speak the same language and are abysmally motivated by abysmal pay. The old devs didn't even leave the keys for the car, and the new ones are perfectly fine with just letting the engine fire exist because it was not in the management spec to put it out.

It is the party paramilitary of Trump at this point, like the Republican Guard, Rosgvardiya or the SA.

Tencent would never allow it.

The US has a sale-or-ban order in force right now, it is not up to Tencent, but the Taco King right now.

Besides it’s software, that has no subsidiaries.

You must mean assets. I'm talking about the legal entity, that's what subsidiary means, a local US sub-company owned by the Chinese parent company. US Tiktok operations are owned by the local US subsidiary Tiktok Inc, incorporated in California, owned by Bytedance. That ownership relation is entirely regulated by US law.

In this case there is nothing to steal.

$10 billion in US revenue, the market share and the cultural, societal and political impact of the platform is there for the taking.

Harris lost before she ran. Not that she was a strong candidate, but the Dems could have ran literal Jesus, Trump was going to come back either way as long as big money was in politics. Maybe if they ran someone who at least promised change, they could have staved off Trump for another 4 years. Would they have sentenced him in another 4 years? Would anyone been able to get people like Thiel and Musk out of politics?

This will get worse before it gets better. I just hope most of it stays contained in the US.

GDP does not indicate how big an economy is, it measures how many dollars trade hands in it.

So there are two things about this:

One is that the reason the US GDP is so high is because of price and wage inflation in the service industry that makes up most of it. And I mean white-collar services like software devs, management consultants, doctors and lawyers and the like. It's a lot of made up money that goes nowhere, you pay a US software engineer twice as much as someone in the EU just for them to have less disposable income PPP than someone in the EU as that extra money ends up with landlords, banks and insurance companies. It's a shell game that boosts figures.

Two, that shell game is held up by everyone trusting the dollar. Trump is eroding that precise trust, and a Calexit would be another hit to that. Do you know how much the US owes? It doesn't matter as long as the dollar is king, and I would not have bet against the dollar last year, but it seems like Trump is betting against it and winning. And when everyone is convinced Wall Street is not a safe haven for your money because Trump will just steal it, then that premium on the US GDP will just evaporate, along with a sizeable chunk of the world economy.

Here's hoping the world lets the US down gently for its own sake.

So how can you win without fighting back?

I salute the effort but despair over the fact that the government has to be pressured to enforce the law.

You can do so to the local subsidiary

What other efforts tho
