The 4-Chan guys may have made it up as a joke, but I've seen it in the media (mainstream and alt-right) as a serious story. Proof the Clintons are dealing in child trafficking, based on some pizza emails.
In those three cases, the pilots lost all engines, and acted in contravention of the designed rules, and saved 100% of the people. When simulated under textbook process, all three had fatalities. The humans improved on the engineering while flying flying bricks.
I can't remember the one where the engine was improperly secured, and on takeoff took out hydraulics and backup hydraulics on loss of a single engine. It was "designed for" and the design was still horribly flawed, assuming an engine would never fall off under high-power.
The engineering is generally safe, but misses more than they like to let on, which is why almost all crashes are blamed on the pilots (the above 3 were also all blamed on the pilots at some point, Sully should have turned back sooner. Gimli pilots should have broken standard procedure to re-check fuel load, as it's the pilots "responsibility" to take 24 hours to check everything the ground crew does in the 15 minutes between flights. And the SA751 pilots should have manually disabled the engine management features they were unaware existed (due to poor airline training).
So the government exists to provide jobs to vets? The government exists to do nothing but be welfare. Seems they should try to be more productive.
And when the government does as you say, and hires an unqualified applicant because of demographics, they will perform more poorly than the private sector. Which is one of the prime complaints against them.
For a government to be effective, the electorate must be vigilant.
And since when is verboten to discuss the president-elect in regards to legislation? This "no talking" policy I see many pushing seems new and Trump-special. Why?
Seconded. I've applied for government jobs two times. Both times, I was not considered for the position because a Veteran claimed to be qualified. The government does not evaluate applicants based on quality, but hires veterans (as a form of welfare) above all others.
Yeah, in about 1 in 100,000 kidnapping cases. Essentially zero, other than every time it happens, it gets TV play for months, making people think that it's multiple regular events.
I now consider Democrats to be the equivalent of the "other side" in a war - they will still oppose every and any thing your side does, they can lose a battle and still wage war, incessant and total non-compliance, they will fight to the last man, and any victory - even pyrrhic - is still a victory. Any means are justified in the pursuit of their ends.
Sounds like the last 8 years of Republicans. Fighting everything done, without trying to do anything constructive themselves.
I was thinking through the recent news (last night) that Trump got Carrier to keep 1000 jobs in the US, and how I couldn't see a way to frame that in a bad light.
You see nothing wrong with millions in corporate welfare while refusing to feed or educate children in need? I guess that's the issue. Why do you support corporate welfare, while opposing child welfare?
And no, I'm not a Democrat. So save that vilification for someone else.
That's what I said. Read the numbers. It rounds to: 50% voter turnout, 24%Hillary 23% Trump 3% other.
Also note, not voting for Hillary *or* Trump is an option without staying home. If Jill had gotten 10% of the vote, and Gary 15% of the vote, and 38% Hillary and 37% Donald, the discussion now would be vastly different. Even more so if the 3rd parties managed to get enough states to "block" an outright majority.
3rd party votes aren't wasted. Voting D or R is a wasted vote.
Trump said he'd pick from a list of SCOTUS candidates that he published well in advance,
Ah, so you are a fucking idiot. He hasn't even taken office, and he's broken nearly every promise made. Want to wager that his first nomination won't be from his list?
Yes. There are multiple confirmations that Trump does many of the "insane" tweets personally. He does them at 3 a.m. because otherwise, someone is there to stop him. He works 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., naps, then works 9 p.m. to 10 p.m., and claims "work" between then, when the interns are actually sending the tweets. Sometimes he has a public appearance in the day, but much less than any other candidate.
Doesn't matter. Any sane person wouldn't have voted for either. Unfortunately, that means 50% of the US isn't sane (and the other 50% is mostly apathetic).
Yes, "perjury without having committed perjury". Also explains why none of the sites that hated him would actually lay out the charges and the reasons they thought he was guilty. It was a hate-vote only, not one based on fact.
And you don't mind the the calls the president of Argentina and gets permits for his personal businesses pushed through? He hasn't even taken office, and has committed impeachable offenses.
When did he commit perjury? The perjury I saw quoted clearly wasn't perjury. Defending reality isn't partisan. I even went to the alt-right news of the time for clarification, but none listed the cause, just started with the assumption he was guilty.
The priority messages bypass all filters and volume settings. They are designed to wake the country if China invades, then the SMS codes were handed to a Failed TV personality.
Over 50% of the Amber Alerts I've gotten, by the time I got it, I checked the status within a few seconds, and they were resolved. The system is broken if I get the alerts (of an unresolved issue) only after they've been resolved.
Better than that would be to require that ca1.nsa.gov be required to be a root CA on every device capable of using a cert. Then nothing is compromised. But the government could compromise everything.
And if the voting system in the booth lies to you, you can *never* know how your vote is counted. The punch cards (used in Florida, but now widely abandoned because of the problems there) could be calibrated wrong to only cast valid votes for the candidate you like and invalidate votes for anyone you don't like, and it would be *impossible* for the voter to know or verify in the booth, how their vote would be counted. The vote-checkers that most polling places have you scan before dropping it in the box should catch some of these errors, but not all, and are also vulnerable to tampering.
Unless you are using pen-on-paper ballot marking (tick the box), or an electronic system with multiple printed receipts, it's *impossible* in the US to verify how your vote will be cast.
At this point, we'd be much better off going back to open voting. It worked great, until the civil war, when armed poll workers would kill you if you voted wrong (or looked wrong), though such tactics would work now, and that they aren't indicates we are mostly stable enough to go back to open voting, to fix the massive problems we have now.
Election integrity and security in this country is a joke
This is known by both sides, but both sides play the game because they both think they can game the system better than the other guy. Better to keep the broken system you know than risk a fair contest.
I've seen millions of attacks on Obama. Some were racist, some weren't. Rarely (never) was someone shouted down as "racist" unless they were obviously so. The attacks on his unemployment and such were never met with claims of "racist".
California does not require any proof of citizenship to vote.
A picture of a form with no context is proof of nothing. Most states require proof of citizenship to get a state ID. Some places will allow a person to "vote" without an ID, but require proof of citizenship to get on the voter rolls. So your photo of nothing shows nothing and proves nothing.

But there is plenty of design that goes into an airplane that is aimed at very rare situations like the loss of all engines.

That it's possible doesn't mean it's irresponsible to do it. People die in airplane crashes, that's not a reasonable reason to refuse all air travel.

Which aspects of that imagined system would those be?
That Truth is not an absolute defense in the UK. In the US, the Truth is not an absolute defense, but the Americans wish to pretend it is.
As for "imagined system" are you trying to imply that UK has no liable laws? Otherwise why would their system be imagined?

I thought calories didn't matter, only carbs matter. Or was there another study this week. The answer changes all the time.
Seconded. I've applied for government jobs two times. Both times, I was not considered for the position because a Veteran claimed to be qualified. The government does not evaluate applicants based on quality, but hires veterans (as a form of welfare) above all others.

More than 50% of the voting public stayed home.

His entire life is a PR lie.
I did. Why is it that every time I insult Trump, the assumption is that I support Clinton?
