That's the cycle of software. Remember when Google Maps was about the mapping and finding places? Now it's about reviews, photos, online ordering, the menu, price point, and everything else. Less feature filled apps will now move in to replace the void they left. Rinse repeat. (see: every note taking / todo app ever)

That doesn't mean this is the same situation. In examples you are likely thinking of, this is happening because of the immediate need for parts or as cost savings, etc. Russia is doing it because they are blocked from primary and secondary markets. For many of their aircraft in the country there are no replacement parts coming except what falls off of the truck in China and gets passed along. So their supply chain is slowly approaching zero until their aircraft have to simply be grounded (or they quit invading neighboring countries and the embargoes are lifted.)

well.. "twice a year".. but your insurance policy probably says 1 every 181 days.. just to rob you of the actual twice a year.. #america

> c. You can apparently do damage to your reputation at 300 baud.

lol. that's a great line.

it's a dystopia that only the rich would love

i'm just curious what this means for all of us that lied about it, got cleared, and now don't have to lie about it...

oh god i understood this reference. we love you cmdrtaco

i'm sure they'd like to think that, but exactly that has happened in the past. Avianca Flight 52.

Haven't we learned at this point that Hyerloop was never supposed to be successful? That, technically, it's success was screwing over Californian's by delaying train projects?

"And that, my boy, is how we killed the market for hardware startups. We raised the barriers to entry to the point that no one was willing to compete with the giants."

> And they designed and produced a plane with commonly faulty fuel gauges at the time.

There hasn't been an accurate fuel gauge in aviation since the discovery of powered flight.

Flight attendant likely does not know the minimum fuel requirements for IFR flight either, and was likely thinking the same thing the passengers were.

> I've also never understood the concept of being "bored" with water.

some of us are really bad at doing things, even good/healthy things, unless we get a dopamine response. so 99% of my "water intake" is really coffee, tea, or artificially sweetened soda.

Studio approach

a better question might be -> when were they allies? It's been a while. For decades they've been nothing more than business partners that actively and openly conspire against us.

menards sells plans/supplies

? B737 has been flying for nearly sixty years at this point.

>wholesale auctions operate with a surprising amount of trust

Just to correct this - auctions operate with a whole lot of caveat emptor

which is why auctions are supposed to be relatively "value buys".. in an auction transaction.. if you're not sure if you're the sucker... then you're the sucker.

you'll also need moisture. so short of using it on a boat in the ocean 24/7 then you should be ok.

historically, aircraft have those antennas mounted on their belly and with low power they blast them at the ground for powerful receivers to catch. For "ADS-B Diversity", which is the space based version, on a generic Cessna 172 that meets current ADS-B requirements, I would need to rip out my current ADS-B system and replace it with a $9,000 (plus labor) ADS-B system that has dual broadcasting antennas. I think the top mount antenna is also more powerful but I honestly do not know.

Space based ADSB only improves coverage for mountain ranges and oceans. It's mission in a mountainous situation is to fill the gap when radar coverage is lost but you have low altitude (in relation to ground, not sea level) traffic, such as arriving and departing traffic.

assuming this map is accurate, you can appreciate how aircraft below 15,000 ft would be constantly falling in and out of ADS-B coverage if they themselves were changing altitude.

Just FYI that not all countries require equipment for space based ADSB ( like the USA ). Many of our commercial airliners have it but mostly in the name of travel abroad.

Yes there is. It's called the FAA, and they /hate/ change.

at least right now, those mice are dependent on gyros for navigation. wall to walk combat would no doubt interfere with that

Now that someone has convinced Americans that mail-in voter fraud is real, they would like to commit the actual fraud to retain power.

he's also been flying since. He made a video about it in which he flies with a CFI, who is clearly so confident in the legality of i that he wears a ski mask during the entire video. Because so long as he's receiving instruction he's arguably not the pilot in command. And I'm gonna bet that as part of this plea deal he's been asked to not pull that crap anymore.

He also jumped out of the plane with a fire extinguisher attached to his leg, but under his pants. Because that's normal.

it's only strange if you forget that most criminals are dumb. and this guy is clearly a fucking idiot

the common argument I heard from the anti-vaxxers was that the mRNA COVID vaccine was obviously bad/fake/contrived because it required a booster and "no other vaccine requires a booster!" And if you mention tetanus, hepatitis or meningococcal, or other vaccines that required a booster/multiple shots then you just get ignored. Ignorant gonna ignorant.

I'm not sure why you think that makes me feel any better? The problem still exists, you've just kicked the can down the road. I'm also not excited about ripping out walls in a fairly large house just to run 10/3 so i can get a 240v connection to an electric cooktop at some point in the future.

I assume because it's "next door" to the landfill, so a lot of the logistics is already nearby. It also doesnt interfere with a bunch of civilians showing up and getting in the way of large, commercial trucks and regular landfill traffic.
