OTOH, TACO

But not the genocide. They just don’t like Hamas hitting back

Only the big ones.

closet thing I did to that was a simulated rope break while instructing on gliders

Yeah same, except I had a bunch of actual rope breaks (faulty rope). It’s fucking harrowing.

Yeah, you summed up all my thoughts on the subject really great. It really feels that it would be better to have airports a bit further away from population centers, but I know it’s not always feasible.

At least at my local I can glide my little Piper down to the tulip fields, at least that’s what I keep telling myself. Doing it in an airliner… it must have been horrifying for the pilots.

Wtf

I mean locals have accepted her as one of theirs, seeing as she has been elected MEP

Some people were saying, based on a video of the crash that it might have been mechanical, as they heard the sound of the RAT that only deploys on double engine failure.

Also, wouldn’t a bad config cause a full-on stall? It seemed more of a controlled glide to me.

Oh, yeah, totally. Fuck Boeing. That this is likely not Boeing’s fault does not mean that they are not rotten nevertheless.

It’s supposedly a reverse-engineered copy of the Russian Su-33, which is gorgeous itself, if a bit dated.

There is a lot of insane gore about this on the internet, people taking pictures of severed heads and stuff, don’t look it up for your sanity. The plane fell on a med school dormitory, killed a whole bunch of students in addition to those on board.

Some people say that the RAT (an emergency device to power the plane in case of double engine failure) can be heard after takeoff, while the engines were silent. There is a lot of people claiming the flaps were not correctly extended, but there is no way to know that properly from the published videos, and the takeoff flap config of this plane is not that discernible from a distance from the flaps up config anyway.

The plane was 13 years old, so it’s not likely that it’s Boeing to blame for this.

It’s too early to say anything and to speculate.

The kids who get out usually are not in a shape to fight back either mentally or financially and society looks down on them.

The best attempt was Paris Hilton.

And what precedent does it set for US civil society that he was allowed to get away with it? This shit is poison to a free civil society.

Yes it is and dictatorships can’t even jump that.

Able to hand power over without bloody civil wars.

She was kidnapped, her ship was attacked by Israel in international waters and she was taken there by force. And now they want her to beg to be released, which she understandibly won’t do.

She is an EU lawmaker FFS.

So I’m going to say that I think Hassan is doing the right thing here. Either the Israelis let her go and accept that there is at least some form of accountability they must accept, or they keep a French MEP hostage, which erodes EU support day by day. Hassan does have some risk as in I wonder how France would react to something happening to her, which is ridiculous as it is.

CNN and Euronews both confirm that the British ship’s transponder was in international waters close to Egypt when Israeli forces attacked it and took its passengers, among them a French MEP hostage, who they have not released since.

It is the party paramilitary of Trump at this point, like the Republican Guard, Rosgvardiya or the SA.

Tencent would never allow it.

The US has a sale-or-ban order in force right now, it is not up to Tencent, but the Taco King right now.

Besides it’s software, that has no subsidiaries.

You must mean assets. I’m talking about the legal entity, that’s what subsidiary means, a local US sub-company owned by the Chinese parent company. US Tiktok operations are owned by the local US subsidiary Tiktok Inc, incorporated in California, owned by Bytedance. That ownership relation is entirely regulated by US law.

In this case there is nothing to steal.

$10 billion in US revenue, the market share and the cultural, societal and political impact of the platform is there for the taking.
