Only a tiny general aviation aircraft can be flown that way. And even then it can only be flown that way at low altitude and full visibility because the vestibular system doesn't work correctly during flight. An airliner must be flown using instruments.

... of Childhood's End. Where the Overlords come down and sell humanity on a new, higher level of consciousness. And then at the end, they have to destroy the Earth. To keep humanity from reinstalling the old version, I guess.

Oh yeah. And there's that bit about Microsoft, er I mean the Overlords actually being the devil.

A plane can be flown just fine without any instrumentation other than the front window.

A pilot can fly with just a window only on clear days. When it is dark or not clear out, a pilot that isn't used to flying via instruments will enter a death spiral and crash.

Usually there are 3+ pitot tubes. Looks like the 737 has 5, with 3 of them dedicated to measuring airspeed. It's incredibly rare that a single fault causes a crash. Reporters just like to write up their stories that way to give their stories more impact, even if it twists the truth.

This isn't the first time faulty airspeed readings led to a flight computer has led to a crash. It isn't even the second time. In all previous cases, the plane was flyable. It was the confusion as the pilots tried to diagnose the problem based on the bizarre behavior of the plane and the flight control software and alarms which doomed the flights. It requires a deep and thorough understanding of when different flight protection modes in the software are triggered and kick in, to work backwards from the behavior you're seeing, to what problem(s) could be triggering those modes. If you've debugged software, you've encountered this. Unlike natural laws like physics, software can be designed arbitrarily. So your intuitive feel for how things should work becomes useless for tracking down the problem. You're totally dependent on how thoroughly you understand the software's arbitrary design.

Bear in mind that the stall warning is pretty much a "you're gonna die if you ignore me" warning. So it takes quite a bit of convincing before pilots will decide it's the warning that's faulty, not something else that they're doing wrong. That may be the cause of the reluctance of pilots to simply shut it off and fly the plane "by the seat of their pants" based on how the throttle settings, altitude, and attitude. So while theoretically the stall warning triggering incorrectly is a recoverable problem, it may take pilots a long time to diagnose and clear up the problem. Long enough for the plane to crash.

You think that's bad, how about the aircraft brought down by a burned out light bulb?

Flying is routine until it isn't. Planes are essentially balancing in the air. It doesn't take much to make one stop flying, and one momentary loss of attention at the wrong time or improper control input can end very badly. All of this x10 if the Pilots haven't been informed of or trained on the failure scenario they're encountering.

Here you go. Now find me a citation that does not place the working class in an income bracket below the middle class!

The study also found the same effect in farmers. Are farmers middle class or impoverished?

Indiana is a great example of what not to do for time zones.

You'll have to enlighten me. How has the EU been punishing the UK? From where I stand it looks more like a whiny cunt trying to leave the club whilst stilling having access to the equipment and the cheap members bar.

I was referring to the ongoing deals and proposals between the UK and the EU that started right after the UK submitted notification of withdrawal. It hasn't been prominent in the news, and the news has a decidedly "globalist" slant, so I'm not surprised you're not aware of it. You'd have to be interested in and follow the process to see what's really going on.

You can find some of the history here.

Things such as the EU demanding a "divorce fee", where the UK pays £92b for the privilege of leaving, or the UK guaranteeing that EU residents would not be forced to leave and then the EU *not* giving the same guarantee for UK citizens living abroad, or the EU proposing that the UK accept unlimited immigrants and still be subject to EU court decisions, and so on and so on.

There's been a continuous stream of "fuck you" proposals from the EU. It's not in any way been an amicable process with the intent to make things as painless as possible.

The end result will almost certainly be a "no deal" Brexit. Everyone agrees that's the worst possible situation, and yet at the same time all the leaders seem to be hell-bent on it.

Oh so i wasnt in Somalia then? Youre a retard. I dont use that word lightly. I have been stuck under the command of some british general more times than you've been on dates. I fucking know when Im told we're now under the joint task force under authority of the united nations.

Next you'll be denying US troops in Kosovo for a NATO led action.

Contributing countries for KFOR btw:
Albania - 10 soldiers .... yes thats right, fucking TEN
Belgium - 1100
Bulgaria - 11 soldiers.... guess they didnt want to be shown up by the albanians
Canada - 1470
Croatia - 20
Czech Republc - 97
Denmark - 308, well we're finnally up to triple digits for an european country contribution
Estonia - 122
Findland - 395
France - 7000 (but they showed up with enough white flags for everyone just in case... haha)
Germany - 8500
Greece - 1000
Hungary - 223
Italy - 5000
Lithuania - 30
Luxembourg - 23
Montenegro - 2 (Really?!? was someone holding up their hand saying 'were still two men short, i need two men!')
Netherlands - 3600
Norway - 2300
Poland - 800
Portugal - 4 (see montenegro)
Romania - 62
Russia - 4000
Slovenia - 316
Spain - 1712
Turkey - 752
UAE - 1500
UK - 7000 (a country not much bigger than rhode island contributes 7000 of their elite forces,no wonder they want to Brexit, doing all that heavy lifting)
Ukrain - 1300
United States - 19,000

So you wanted a link to the SFTP protocol? Kind of strange on this site, but oh, well. Here you go.

Um....you do realize the Civil Rights Act passed, right? With more Democratic votes than Republican votes

Disingenuous much?

There were also more democrat votes against it then republican votes against it, because... shocker, the dems had more people in congress at the time.

Look at the percentages, > 80% of Rs supported the Civil Rights Act in both the Senate and the House, Democrats were in the 60s% in both House and Senate.

Senate: (For / Against)
        Democratic Party: 46–21 (69–31%)
        Republican Party: 27–6 (82–18%)

House: (For / Against)
        Democratic Party: 153–91 (63–37%)
        Republican Party: 136–35 (80–20%)

Also, for those of you as unaware about US politics as this poster, there's this thing called the "Southern Realignment".

Except that's complete garbage. 21 Senate Democrats voted against the Civil Rights act, only one of them ever switched parties, the rest stayed Democrat. The senate seats (and a majority of the house seats) stayed Democrat as well for several decades. If there was a switch, why did it take ~30 years for the Republicans to gain a majority in the House in the south? There was no switch, the entire thing is completely made up.

someone who knows very little about Russia besides a few western-liberal headlines

Or maybe I live in this country and know a little bit more than you could imagine by reading God knows what. Have you ever been to Russia, mr. guacamole? I really doubt that. Maybe you can understand the Russian language? Also unlikely. Maybe you've got a first person account of the state of corruption, lawlessness (to be precise we have law but it mostly serve the very rich and the members of the distinct dacha housing cooperative), decay in the country? I presume no. So, what do you really know about Russia? I'm quite sure nothing really aside from what you chose to believe in.

Have you ever watched the disclosures in regard to the inner Putin circle?

I'll just leave you with this.

We have enough natural and farmed salmon. Why not genetically modify a 'problem' fish like silver carp . It's a problem fish here in North America where it also has low culinary value (even though it has high culinary value in China). Why not change silver carp to address some of its shortcomings?

"The Alcubierre drive is a speculative idea based on a solution of Einstein's field equations in general relativity as proposed by Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre, by which a spacecraft could achieve apparent faster-than-light travel if a configurable energy-density field lower than that of vacuum (that is, negative mass) could be created."

"Thus, in a very physical sense, the phonon carries (negative) mass."

Huawei are probably providing back doors to the Chinese government, but American companies have been doing the same thing for a long time on national security grounds. Microsoft were caught out providing a backdoor in Window NT to the NSA.

American wants to retain its capability, which never included Germany.

Science *includes* a lot of things, including formulating hypotheses. For that matter, science includes observation , so "broadly construed", we are constantly doing science from the moment we open our eyes and ears.

However, it *also* includes experiment, and, frankly, all of these parts are generally pretty useless standing alone.

If a state wishes to observe DST they must do so on the Federal schedule. A state can choose to stay on standard time without any federal approval. The quirk here is that these states are wanting to be on DST year-round, which means they are observing DST off the federal schedule, so they actually do need approval for that. If a state lies in multiple time zones they can actually split the policy by zone. Indiana did this for a while.

Here's wikipedia on the relevant law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

So, can we build warp drive now?

If it wasn't for the US involvement in the second world war, we would probably be speaking Russian over here.

However. Nice Godwin you did there.

You loose the debate. Completely.

Why doesn't anyone talk about the NSA's known actions to install physical and software backdoors in American hardware, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., and that Huawei has never been shown to do that?
This looks like a Trump MAGA Tamtrum to protect Cisco, etc, and wage a useless trade ware.

A crackdown on the open Internet in Russia continues unabated. Soon, RosKomNadzor will introduce state issued mandatory SSL certificates for opening websites and forbid all the instant messengers which sport unbreakable encryption. Yes, they failed banning Telegram but it was only because there's no law to deal with fast moving targets - Durov revamped the entire servers network and logging in process to allow the Russians to communicate past the prohibition introduced last year.

It's the fourth such news piece in the last several months. Also most western media neglected the protests in regard to the Internet in Russia which happened just two days ago. It's still astonishing how few people participated. Looks like Putin has truly become the Tsar of The Grand Duchy of Moscow and the people are content with each atrocity he does. A dictator, a tyrant, Godfather of the Russian mafia state.

A breakdown of the media ignoring the senate and house intelligence committees finding no collusion between trump campaign and Russia.

The Nation of Islam published a book about the Jewish role in the African slave trade. This is no secret, they're very open about this and wish everyone to read it. In his own autobiography, Barack Obama admitted to being an avid reader of the Nation of Islam's Final Call newspaper, this did not seem to impede his eventual path to two presidential terms.

So let's review: Obama's mentor and fundraiser Tony Rezko was also the Nation of Islam's business manager. Obama read Farrakhan's newspaper regularly, posed for a photo with him that borders on the bromantic, and yet the press refuses to condemn him. Donald Trump said he didn't know David Duke and openly disavowed him, yet the press has nailed Trump and Duke together on the same cross.

Yet the country's self-described "journalists" still wonder why people don't trust them.

Schadenfreude trade offs of cryptocurrency vs Congress:

Cryptocurrency isn't completely free entertainment because one way or another the public ends up paying for the scams. But for how much it costs you personally it's a bargain.

Congress has Hiking the Appalachian Trail, revelations about paying off porn stars, the head of the EPA spending $43K on a phone booth, overt racism, endless sexual misconduct, etc, as well as all the cryptocurrency kerfuffle. Unfortunately, Congress is really expensive, and when they get it wrong it has a huge impact on your personal life, and the lives of everyone else in the world and generations yet unborn.

So Congress, as much fun as it is, does not provide the same bang for the buck because it's so damned terrifying.

Sure there is.

Probably not in this case. Right now, the likely culprit seems to be pilots being inadequately trained on the automated flight control systems. Airbus has had similar systems in their planes for decades (which can override pilot inputs, and require the pilots to turn them off if they decide it's malfunctioning). The FAA had no problem approving those, so this isn't a resistance to change on the part of the FAA.

Boeing stuck to the "pilot should always be in control" philosophy, and is only now adding automated safety systems which can override the pilots' inputs. It would appear they're going through some of the same early teething problems Airbus went through with such automated systems in the 1980s and 1990s. Where pilots don't know or don't understand why the plane won't do what they're trying to make it do, resulting in a crash.

Given this plane is brand new and 2 out of ~200 or so have crashed killing everyone, a pause in their adoption until it's fixed is warranted.

No, lasik burns off parts of your lens, at the front of the eye

LASIK actually works by "burning off" (via photoablation) part of the cornea, the clear dome-shaped thing in the front of the eye, not the lens.

Perhaps that's what you meant — strictly speaking, the cornea does also act as a lens from an optical point of view — but in medicine the anatomical term "lens" refers specifically to the structure inside the eye.

Source: LASIK:

"The LASIK surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist who uses a laser or microkeratome to reshape the eye's cornea in order to improve visual acuity."

Moreover, we must remember the 777. It suffered multiple near-disasters with battery packs in flames in the first few flights. This would suggest poor testing procedures.

Your post is insightful, but I believe here you are thinking of the 787.

Look at the actual percentages.

Percentages don't pass bills, vote counts do.

Also, you're completely skipping over the Southern Realignment to cling to your false narrative.

Democrats tend to try to wave away their own party's history of racism through pretending the "parties switched" after the Civil Rights Act passed.

You realize that politicians literally switched parties, right? And they did so publicly? And described exactly why they were switching?

I realize actual history is double-plus ungood, but it did actually happen.
