No assurance that there’s only one shooter, that the shooter actually was on the second level, shooter could have moved, etc.

Or we could just shift school/work start times to permanently be later since most humans don’t function well as early as society demands us to because some rich old white guys hundreds of years ago decided we have to be up as early as possible for “reasons.”

40s is nearing retirement (from flight status) age for fighters due to the physical toll of flying them. Those statistics make no sense when you consider the cutoff age for flight training is 26.

That salary is wrong too. For Navy pilots it’s $65k on average, but salary is adjusted to the living standards of where you’re stationed, which is going to skew any averages.

Today’s fighter pilots are just as young.

Better than Bone (only air force nerds will get that one).

Resigning isn’t taking accountability. They’ll just get a different job making the same money as before.

I wasn’t aware there was a vegetable oil shortage.

2022 had 128 earthquakes greater than 6.0 across the world.

Happens all the time. Media is just going ham reporting on every single shake they can find to keep riding the click-train of the Turkey disaster.

Sounds like a mild intercept compared to the shit China usually pulls off.

This is why I wake up depressed every fucking morning. Half the world is made up of morons, a quarter are psycho/sociopaths, and the quarter with the right mix of brains and a functioning moral compass are too powerless to do anything.

CEO - “Best I can do is removing a safety check from the checklists and an increase in my bonus.”

Peer reviewed research says you’re wrong.

I’ve lived in Japan almost a decade. I’m referring to all the idiots (mostly expats) who keep dismissing the risks of covid that are still very much real.

“It’s just the flu we don’t need masks or restrictions any more” /s

News like this always makes me wonder:

• How does humanity survive with so many allergens?

• Why so many new allergens in the last ~20 years? Better diagnostics, or were these allergies not a thing 20 years ago?

Memphis had a boil water notice as well, and they always gloat about their tap water. Why do cold temperatures cause a boil water notice when in normal temperatures there’s no pathogens to boil?

The only positive about flying in the 90s was pre-9/11 security.

He’s probably a pilot. They’re the only ones with decent seats.

Not to mention the logistics nightmare of switching from Russian ammunition to NATO ammunition.

Manhattan Bridge 1909 is not equivalent to a stadium built post-2000.

False equivalency. Your comparing construction of one facility to construction of many facilities.

As if it matters which is a lie. In any 1st World Country the death toll would have been 0.

ITT people who don’t know how to compare apples to apples.

Korean War gone hot again. The first one never officially ended.

Landing at an airport for fuel to get turned around and leave is not the same as “entry” in an immigration sense, otherwise crew and passengers would need visas for every single country they have a transfer in despite never leaving the airport facilities. Given it was an emergency (lack of fuel, weather), I wouldn’t be surprised if there were an ICAO violation here for denying appropriate service to the aircraft and crew.
