  • Ooof… That looks EXpensive and not just for the CRJ. The larger plane (it looks like an A350, but not sure) is going to need its wing structure and wing box all thoroughly inspected. Outside of the engines, those are the two most expensive structures on an airplane. Not saying that it is going to be a write off for either plane, but it is a possibility. I’m curious if the bending moment of that impact was outside what the larger plane’s wing box was designed for. That force had to be huge, given the length of the wings on the large plane.

    I look forward to seeing the analysis from some of the better aviation Youtubers on this one.







  • If the Legislature and Presidency go all Democrat, the very FIRST thing they have to do, is deal with that insane Supreme Court.

    Impeach Thomas, Alito and every idiot that fat Cheeto installed on the court. Probably will get Thomas, but not sure about the other 4, but they need a reality check. Thomas needs to go to be tried for his ethic violations afterward. He needs to revisit his life choices in a quiet cell. Also, scrap that stupid fucking RV of his. Seriously, why the fuck do those things exist? Why not just stay in a nice hotel? It would be cheaper.

    Increase the court to anywhere between 11 and 15. There are 11 circuits, so 1 SC justice for each makes sense.

    Then that court’s first order of business is to shut the fuck up and do the job they are there to do.

    Wait, why not reverse the previous decisions… Easy, because what has happened this year, can happen again… so…

    Congress needs to codify women’s reproductive rights, Chevron Deference, and anything else these bunch of fucking morons did this past year. Congress should then take a real close look at any other “business as usual” things that go on in government and see how they could be better protected from the next assault from these assholes.

    The Fucking Idiot Six on the Supreme Court put into very sharp relief the weaknesses in our government. It’s time to rectify that.

    I personally know someone who totaled 4 cars before turning 18. He literally treated the gas as an on/off switch.

    So people that bad at driving are out there.

    Truth be told, drivers here in the US are TOTALLY untrained for the most part. My oldest is currently in driver’s Ed and it is a joke, in regards to actually how to drive a car. I have spent a lot of time training him as I have a long history taking racing and advanced driving courses. I’ve held SCCA and FIA racing licenses and I have taken some courses that are usually reserved for police officers The only problem is I do not feel that I’m a very good teacher for him. But he has picked up some things, even if he isn’t up for threshold or trail braking.

    Someone should have told my wife’s program that.

    But I can understand how that would happen.

    Today she’s looking to stress cells in a lab to promote a mis-folded protein response that mimics how it happens in the body. At least that’s how far my IT guy understanding goes. She’s found herself running a BSL 3 lab working with nasty micro organisms and that is not her field. It’s just the path her research lead he down.

    Where do you need a Masters to attain a PhD? Honest question, I just never heard of it before.

    My wife attained her MD/PhD from the University of Chicago/Pritzker and does not have a Masters. She’s on the MD/PhD committee for her university and they do not require anything other than a BS in the field of study.

    With that said, it probably isn’t much of a stretch to just get a Masters in the way to a PhD.

    Me? I’m depriving some poor village of its idiot. I have a BS and that’s it.
