They are somewhat deliberately picked. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/dec/31/joe-biden-secret-service-team-trump-loyalty

And the rumors back in 2020 were that Trump made sure his team were all MAGA people. That way he didn't have to worry about snitching. Which was later demonstrated when the USSS just magically up and lost records they should have had from Jan 6th.

It's funnier than that. Spirit was Boeing. Before dipshit Jack Welch copycats spun it off. Now they're buying it back.

What page did you see those details on in the report? I skimmed it between meetings and will look again later.

The new design was vibration tested for five hours both laterally and vertically without failure and the system had a first mode resonant frequency response at 170 Hz and a second mode at 260 Hz. Analysis of the drain tube at 165 Hz demonstrated that with a 5g or 10g input load, the drain tube would fracture after either 200,000 or 21,000 fatigue cycles respectively, at the bend adjacent to the slat track housing. This equates to approximately either 20 minutes or 2 minutes of operation.

Doesn't seem to be major issue there either. Above is a quote from the AAIB report. They're talking about an already redesigned and upgraded drain this plan had installed in 2012. It was found the redesigned part performed better than required. Even when damaged on purpose before testing. The recommendation here is more like hey FAA maybe you should update the test requirements. 20 minutes or 2 minutes of holding up while shit is going wrong might not be enough.

But even with all this going on the engine was making thrust. Pilot was just worried about flying across the Atlantic with a vibration they noticed was getting worse after 20 minutes in the air. They suspected but didn't even know the engine was blown until back on the ground. The fire was happening in the exhaust stream and not within any part of the plane itself.

Nah slow news day. This failure happened February of 2023 to a 25 year old plane. That same plane is in the air right now over Missouri according to FlightAware. N197DN.

This is just the UK version of the FAA finally getting around to releasing their findings. Which is weird because the final report isn't that long. Their testing found some of the components that broke due to vibration held up longer than design parameters. Even after being purposely damaged. So Boeing was actually installing better parts than needed per the requirements. But that doesn't mean they'll never fail in a way people might not have thought to test prior.

Non-Euclidian horrors beyond comprehension

We can blame you because voting is part of your duty living in a democracy.

Congratulations on being part of the problem

Sure keep crying about Bernie getting sabotaged.

Biden stomped Liz in Maine and Massachusetts. Also beat Bernie by a decent amount.Then beat Bernie by a lot in Michigan and Wisconsin. Two critical swing states. That was the moment people realized Biden had the wider appeal and better shot.

Massachusetts isn't as safely blue as people assume. Bernie in the Senate is far more helpful than having a cabinet roll.

Yes then they did the math on Senate votes and realized they need Liz and Bernie to stay put to have any shot at taking control from McConnell.

I sure as hell did with how many of them popped up

Justice Boof loves beer.

Congress can.

Congress also plays an oversight role. The annual appropriations process allows congressional committees to review in detail the budgets and programs of the vast military and diplomatic bureaucracies. Lawmakers must sign off on more than a trillion dollars in federal spending every year, of which more than half is allocated to defense and international affairs. Lawmakers may also stipulate how that money is to be spent. For instance, Congress repeatedly barred the Obama administration from using funds to transfer detainees out of the military prison at Guantanamo Bay.

They have their own team. https://www.secretservice.gov/careers/uniformed-division/CS

It was a gathering of trash people to celebrate a trash human. They're not going to care about it being clean.

It's always pissed me off how Franken got kicked out for a gag. But Bob got to stay while everyone knew he was a crook.

Man that would have been wild. Iran has to be run by dumber people than I already assumed. That would be Article 5 and WW3 in a hurry.

Then he fired his PR team not long after that. He pushed out all the people getting paid to help him not look like an idiot.

Why is buying LEAPS of the biggest tech growth stocks in the S&P 500 wrong? That's literally Paul's strategy. It isn't much of a secret.

He's even lost money plenty of times on individual trades. He sold out of a 25,000 share Nvidia position. That at the time would have been worth around $600k. Had they held that position it would be worth $31M or so now. That's a huge miss for someone supposedly getting insider info.
