Pretty much yes. Proper documentation is important for safety, but calling the itself titanium fake is incredibly dishonest.

The rest of the headline doesn't fair any better.

The planes that included components made with the material were... Boeing 737 Max and 787 Dreamliner airliners as well as Airbus A220 jets

Headline only mentions one of the involved manufacturers, misrepresenting it as a boeing problem because they know what will drive clicks.

The issue is not that the parts aren't titanium, its that there isn't a paper trail documenting the titanium.

This is an issue, because improperly forged titanium can have issues that makes it unsuitably weak for its intended purpose. Having documentation showing where the materials came from, when it was inspected for defects and when it was manufactured is critical for safety.

United flight 232 had an engine explode in part due to defective titanium. This is a real safety concern.

Though the headline says boeing, the article mentions these undocumented parts being found in airbus planes as well. Its an industry problem, not a Boeing specific one.

MCAS, (must crash airplane system,) the system that caused those crashes is present on all max variants. The involved aircraft were max 8's because that was the first to enter production.

Every other max variant has the same system. Changes to, and knowledge of MCAS should prevent future crashes but this is an issue that affects every 737 max, despite only max 8's crashing from it.

The meme shows only bikes with flat handlebars, like commuter bikes intended for transportation.

Every bike you posted are high performance racing bikes with specialized aerodynamic handlebars.

Different priorities. Triangless bikes with a top bar is not a good idea for commuter bicicles like the ones in the meme.

Imagine designing a bicycle without triangles. Every joint needs to be overbuilt, because there's no structure from the geometry. But you make sure it still has a top tube, so its just as hard to mount and dismount as a normal bike. Incredible!

According to boeing's website the last 737 order was in February from "unidentified customer(s)." Hmmmmmmmm

Several years is an understatement. At current rates of production it will take at least 14 years to fulfill all orders.

Those are orders for the 737. Not parts, newly constructed aircraft. Airbus's similary sized A320 has a backlog of 7197 according to wikipedia.

True, but this article is specifically about the 737. Apart from the a220, none of the aircraft you listed are both in production and part of the 737's market segment.

The a320 neo family has about 7000 orders awaiting delivery. It is not feasible to switch for most airlines for the reasons I previously mentioned.

The biggest limiting factor in airplanes is the production speed. Building airliners is slow which is why there are very long waiting lists. Nothing's wrong that's just planes. New planes are cheaper to operate so its a good idea to order new planes even if you're not planning a significant expansion.

This is also why airlines will be slow to react to boeing's safety record in orders. Switching orders means losing your place and going to the back of airbus's waiting list.

During his campaign biden promised $2000 stimulus checks. Once he finally delivered the checks they were only $1400.

Instead of acting like a responsible adult and apologizing for the shortage, he decided to lie and gaslight saying that $1400 was what he promised because if you count the $600 checks that he had nothing to do with and add them you get the $2000 he promised.

And biden took credit for the $600 stimulus checks before he took office. Politicians are dishonest. Every single one.

Yes, but it sorts in chronological order so the notifications are all old. It doesn't even load the whole list at once you can't even scroll to the end to see the current notifications.

Do you really think the us is so small we can only arm one war at a time? Nonsense.

Gaza does show that the us has little say over how their weapons are used. There are serious consequences for crossing biden's red line, like having to move the red line.

Since OS X they swapped the trash icon for an eject icon when you start dragging a removable disk. So they hint at it in some way.

Incidentally, this is why the trash icon is on the right side of the dock, and cannot be removed. You need it to eject disks due to a decision to account for the lack of a second mouse button.

But does matrix have the discord feature where it plays the notification sound and then shows 87 notifications from 12 different servers with no decernable way to tell which one made the sound?

Not yet found another chat app that has that feature.

They use a cold silicon gel that sets from your body heat to make the molds. It is an interesting expierence having a cold viscous gel squeezed into your ears.

I do not play your silly games.

RATM, and many other bands sing with terrible diction. I wouldn't blame anyone for not understanding the message if they've never read the lyrics.
