Next time someone makes a post praising the metric system and making fun of people for using imperial units, feel free to call them out as a filthy casual for using a 24-hour clock.
Lol I'm in the same boat. I do a lot of grocery store curbside pickup, so I don't know what their stock levels are when I place my order. I always specify Vanilla Coke, and whenever it's not filled I'm a little sad.
There's a reason Air Traffic runs on old ass systems built in the 80s. It's because that shit just works and there is zero room for error. Moving to AI would kill thousands of people.
In a December financial disclosure, Bondi said that she held stock in Trump Media that was worth over $3.9 million at the time, shares that she received as compensation for consulting services for the company.
Wtf why does the Attorney General have shares in a media company owned by the President? This administration is bonkers corrupt.
I posted this on another thread, but thought it was worth sharing here as well.
Heads up this is about to get worse. Republicans recently voted to cut retirement funding for air traffic controllers. By cutting the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) for workers retiring before 62 (all Air Traffic Controllers are required to retire at 56 and are eligible to retire at 50), this is completely fucking over ATCs who continue working by changing their retirement math.
An open secret with ATCs is that they have numerous medical qualifications that they have to maintain to keep working. For example, if they see a doctor about sleep apnea, depression, alcoholism, etc they lose their medical qualification and are forced to take a medical retirement.
So what happens if you're an ATC in your 40s and the government says "hey you can keep working for the next 10 years and retire without this FERS supplement... Or you can tell your doctor that you snore at night and take an immediate medical retirement right now and get paid more in retirement"?
TLDR; We're about to have a shit load of Air Traffic Controllers taking medical retirements and these staffing problems are going to explode.
