Middle of the night with -35 degrees frost and completely plastered? He's heading for a fatal accident anyway. Letting him freeze to death doesn't make a difference for him, but it does make a huge difference on the odds of him taking someone else along were he to have an accident.
If you knee-jerk, you might find your analogies lacking a certain...analytical...aspect.
Airbus did have several incidents where the plane violently pitched down because both AOA probes had iced up
Can you cite more than AF447? Because I can't find any. What I can find is multiple reports of inconsistent airspeed readings, but so far AF447 appears to be the only that actually got in trouble for it.
I'm not going to discuss an idiot like you. Goodbye.
When the facts elude you, ad hominem[sic] to the rescue.
You know, when you get called an idiot, it is usually not a good idea to prove the point. Of course, you being an idiot wouldn't recognise a good idea when it hit you on the head.
But it gets worse. If the MCAS is there to make the MAX behave like an NG, so that pilots can fly it with just variant retraining, what is the implication if the plane reaches a flight regime where the MCAS is a hindrance or a danger and has to be turned off?
I'll tell you: you now have two pilots with only variant training flying an aircraft that they actually need a type rating for, that they don't have because the MCAS was there to obviate it.
Who ever thought this was a good idea in safety terms?
No, what I said was incomplete. Which, given the context, is absolutely not the same as wrong. Leaving edge cases to settle the main argument first is perfectly legitimate.
Of course, that you descend to anonymous nitpicking just goes to show I'm right, and Leavers are morons.
Yes, and this is old news, this has been known for a year. So if they don't set up a holding company in the EU, British holders of.eu domains will not be able to extend them anymore.
Why is this so hard to understand? Are Leavers really all morons? </rhetorical>
Oh yes. Theoretically a polywell reactor is possible, but we have absolutely no clue how to build the confinement grids to generate an electrostatic well with the correct depth to achieve self-sustaining fusion. It still is an interesting research field to keep an eye on.
As for alpha particles capturing electrons? Nope, not hard. They're big ungainly particles, so if they hit anything they will draw electrons in and turn into helium atoms.
Not quite. This is a fusor, aka Electrostatic Confinement Fusion. One of the ways to use that is to use proton-boron fusion, which generates nothing but alpha particles. If the electrostatic well is designed correctly, theoretically you could capture those in the outer grid, where they will steal two electrons, thus generating electron flow, aka electricity.
Robert Bussard was working on that, his company Polywell is still doing research into different grid designs.
<shrug/> I have absolutely no problem calling an idiot an idiot. And trotting out worn-out tired libertarian shibboleths like 'tax rebates are not a gift, it's your own money being given back' are very much a sign that yes, you are an idiot.
Your cart of goodies is the services you get from the government. The checkout lane is tax time. The in-store voucher action is politicians giving you a tax break.
Now do you get it, or do I have to cast in 'See Spot Run' terms to get closer to your level?
If I am shopping and I have a cart worth $100, I can't leave unless I either pay $100 or put my goods back on the shelves. Assume I want my stuff, I'm out $100. Now a perky young thing comes up to me and says "Congratulations, you're our zillionth shopper, here's a voucher for $100".
How much money did I get given? According to you, nothing at all, because I was merely getting my money back.
I seemed to have missed the news that Apple is pulling out of France. Do you have a link for me? (To a reliable source; Breitbart, Infowars or the Daily Mail will get you pointing and laughing).

And I want a pony. Without the responsibility of cleaning up.

I actually have empirical data: two crashed planes and Boeing doing massive damage control.
You really live up to your nick. I'm not going to discuss an idiot like you. Goodbye.

Kill the unicorn / just to have its horn. / Soon he's just a fantasy.
And how long ago were those incidents? And how many of the same model aircraft did they hit?
Idiot.
So you're against YouTube taking down ISIS beheading videos?
Yep, this is completely the same, except where it is completely different
For fuck's sake, do you Trumpists even read before you post blatant contradictions? Or do you assume the rest of the world is as stupid as you?
Aw, you poor snowflake. You want a government-enforced safe space?
Go read some history, you fucking dipshit.
No, what I said was incomplete. Which, given the context, is absolutely not the same as wrong. Leaving edge cases to settle the main argument first is perfectly legitimate.

Yeah right. Go pull the other one, it's got bells on.
It's okay, on the New and Improved Slashdot you are allowed to say 'Jews' these days.

What scare tactics? This is the equivalent of 'If you cancel your membership your not welcome in the club anymore". What could be wrong with that?
Why do conservatives always insist on getting free handouts?
Pray tell us how many of the promises in 'The Vow' were actually realised by Westminster.
Untill then, you can piss off.
It's about ethics in film reviews!
