I can’t tell if the Onion gets their ideas from the stuff DeSantis does or if DeSantis gets his ideas from reading the Onion.

Straight to jail.

I just woke up and read the headline as “highly photogenic bird flu”

It’s Australia - better make sure they aren’t lethally poisonous!

I have nothing to contribute to this conversation. Just wanted to say that was a horribly written article.

Shit…my wife just thought of a bigger diamond I could buy her.

We tested Comac parts for FAA certification. When you’ve tested parts for decades you can pretty much nail down the cause of the failure be it design, process, materials, a combination and so forth.

Also the c919 is only certified in China. It can’t fly in the US or Europe.

There is more that goes into an airplane than the people maintaining or assembling it, which can and does go afoul. There is the entire manufacturing process, how materials are sourced, processed, refined, machined/formed, heat treated, stress relieved, coated/plated, assembled, and the list goes on. That is a major factor why aircraft are so safe and if you think China’s material and process controls are as rigorous as someone like Boeing or Airbus, it isn’t. It has taken decades of actual aircraft manufacturing to get the formula right for those respective companies and they continue to evolve as time goes on and new information is learned.

You can go to this FAA Link and view "Records of Accidents and Incidents. Takes a bit to learn to interpret the data but there are a lot of incidents. If I recall it includes both commercial and general aviation.

BROTHER MAYNARD: Armaments, Chapter Two, Verses Nine to Twenty-One.

SECOND BROTHER: And Saint Attila raised the Hand Grenade up on high, saying, “O Lord, bless this Thy Hand Grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy.” And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu—

MAYNARD: Skip a bit, Brother.

Whatever your opinion on the subject is, I thought this was pretty incredible for aviation in general:

That’s a safety record of about one or two passenger fatalities per light-year traveled.

Might find your answer here around the 50,000 year mark.

I agree we know what needs to happen but a rapid phase out of fossil fuels is not something I see the world fully commiting to anytime soon, hence some other clever solution which I admit I have no idea what that would be.

Not going to happen. We need to be clever and find another solution. I’ve been browsing Far Side comics on Lemmy for answers but haven’t found any.

I remember when he blew a maniac in traffic who shot a thick cloud on his back for hours that he didn’t get to see because of the eclipse. He never made it home because he was too tired.

The way this things reads it either affects everything or nothing that gets pumped into the atmosphere. My guess is nothing because who will ever say their express purpose is to affect the temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight?

Can’t we just enjoy the joke? You’ve brought up a worthy of discussion, but for a shitpost thread?
