Fuck cars and up with cycling and bike infrastructure and all that but unless this study is more specific than the article states, it's useless. And if it is more specific this article may be misleading.

It just gives a percentage of "in compliance with traffic laws" and doesn't give a breakdown of what laws. Since most drivers speed at least a little quite often, and most cyclists are incapable of speeding anywhere near as much, what laws are the cyclists breaking to get them as low on compliance as drivers? If it's stop signs and red lights, that is right in line with the stereotype of them being dangerous scofflaws the article is saying this study shows is incorrect.

It's also possible that the one that did it said "why did you do that" to try and shift blame for reason(s) of insurance payout, shame, or something else and the one that said "I didn't" is telling the truth.

Whichever one did it, that video from Captain Steeeve makes a pretty good case that one of them did.

If one pilot tries to ram it into the ground, or just throttles back, the other pilot can fight them for the controls and possibly prevent a crash. When those switches are flipped the engines almost immediately flame out. Even if the other pilot quickly flips them back and prevents the first pilot from doing anything else, it takes time for the engines to automatically relight and spool back up. Done right around liftoff, which seems to be the case from the RAT deployment, there might not be anything the other pilot can do no matter how fast they act.

Edit: According to the flight data recorder, the cutoff switches were flipped 3 seconds after takeoff, one was flipped back on 10 seconds later, the other flipped back 4 seconds after that, and the recording ended 15 seconds later.

I would like to join your quest to bring back þe þorn. How do I type that?

Nevermind, I got it.

That depends on what sort of conservative viewpoints you're taking about. I see people expressing opinions that I would associate with what I think of as Eisenhower conservatives and they are met with civil discussions. It's when people start in with the post-Nixon bigoted, poor hating, corporate/wealthy bootlicking, regressive "conservative" viewpoints that people are less likely to engage beyond calling them out because there is probably no point to anything else. One obvious exception to this is someone unknowingly stumbling into a post on the tankie triad and saying something with even a whiff of conservatism. That's not going to go well. But it doesn't take long to learn that.

Yeah, it's so hilarious to want an engine that will continue to run after a complete electrical system failure at 10000ft.

Fuck 100LL though.

It started to get a little stale earlier but I think it really started to suck when Fiona left and they tried to make Debbie the new Fiona.

She bailed because she thought she was better than the show and was going to have a big movie career but she's done fuck all since.

I'm glad our fuck up in the US is inspiring others to step back from the edge. It's at least a silver lining I can console myself with while everything crumbles around me.

Whoever is in charge of writing this simulation is just getting lazy.

Yeah, they kind of had a point until they busted out the incel-speak at the end.

It'd be a damn shame if everyone started putting pixelfed at the end of every message to both deny threads content and create a Streisand effect.

If you want to know how bad we're being fucked, search for the PPI, the producer price index. CPI, the one we always hear about, is the measure of inflation to us, the consumer. The PPI is the measure of inflation to producers, what they pay for goods and services to produce the goods and services we buy.

The PPI has been back to "normal" for a while now. Pretty much as soon as the post COVID logistics issues were mostly ironed out. The difference between PPI and CPI changes is almost all profit.

We don't get daily articles on the PPI though, I wonder why.

Tell people about PPI whenever you can, online or off, the more people know, the better. It's easy enough to say inflation is just down to greed but being able to back it up by comparing two simple charts will help people really understand.
