Smith’s lawyers argued that the crew of the Black Hawk helicopter that flew from New York’s Fort Drum to Worthington, Massachusetts, for night training was negligent for parking a camouflaged 64-foot (19.5-meter) aircraft on a rarely used airfield also used by snowmobilers.

The helicopter landed on an air strip approved by the Federal Aviation Administration and the crew members testified that trainings are often conducted in similar locations.

Sounds like snowmobiles were using an airfield.

An officer then allegedly pulled a sealed emergency release button that shut the MRI machine down, deactivating it, evaporating thousands of liters of helium gas and damaging the machine in the process. The officer then grabbed his rifle and left the room, leaving behind a magazine filled with bullets on the office floor, according to the lawsuit.

As a user of threaded fasteners, the inclined plane.

This is compartmentalization. Letting people know only what they need to know to be effective, nothing more, and keep the arms of the organization separated as much as possible.

And they say people can’t read anymore. It’s hidden there in the very first sentence of the article. Who would think to look there?

I have doubts a constitutional amendment will pass, but hopefully there are other avenues to enact this plan.

There is accidental discharges, random discharges, and ignorant discharges.

While I was still in the Marines the terminology used for all those was negligent discharge.

Over the weekend taught the girlfriend how to ride her new motorcycle. Hours in a parking lot over the weekend. Watched her go from, “I’m not sure I can turn around in this parking lot.” To me asking, “You turning inside those cones just to show off now?”
Much improved clutch control, turning confidence, first ride to the bar, first highway ride. Was fun watching those drastic improvements with two days of cone work.

Lots of us have breaks & lunch, or just slow/down time.

I do the same but there so fucking many, it seems. Why are people so into the cartoon porn? It’s fucking weird.

I don’t disagree with you, but maybe that’s why the ACLU is forced to play the game this way.

Maybe, just hypothesis from a dumb guy, maybe this case is a tactical choice. It’s higher profile, It’ll progress through the courts faster, they suspect the Supreme Court will be more sympathetic to this plantiff and this get the judgements that protect everyone, I don’t know. Maybe it marketing to appear impartial, “See, we’ll even defend a nazi.”
I don’t know, I’m shooting from the hip while sitting on the toilet.

There was a time where the tag line for Dark Souls was “Prepare to Die”

That’s a neat fun fact, but I didn’t buy Dark Souls, known for its difficulty, I bought Elden Ring, notable for its beautiful open world and complex meandering story.
Beating Malenia’s ducky dance or chasing the Elden Beast around the arena for half an hour is not as interesting as all the questions created by the multiple stories and characters in the world. Or how Marika has betrayed or been betrayed. How Godfrey was cast aside only to be recalled when The Order needed protecting. Or how Godwyn pollutes the world above his carcass.
No part of the story will be diminished if the player is given a slight edge in combat. The combat often isn’t even that fuckin good, it’s just pattern memorization.
Some of you try hards are just, ugh, go back and sit down on your shit bucket. The rest of us are trying to have fun with our video games.

during school days.

Literally, the first sentence. So, no. Not even the first school to ban cell phone use during the school day.

What? Read the article? Are you fucking crazy?

Well, Airbus was victim to the fraud as well. The supplier created fake documentation. Both Boeing, Spirit and Airbus have all said the tested the discrepant metal and it was the correct alloy it conformed to standards. This isn’t the first time fraudulent parts have infected aviation supply, and likely won’t be the last.

You’re right but wrong about how comfortable flying used to be.
Flying used to be heavily regulated and was heavily subsidized by air mail contracts. Aircraft were roomier and much more comfortable. After some trust and monopoly busting, and deregulation, the loss of air mail contracts, then share holders took more control.
Then over the years prices have declined, leg room has declined, comfort has declined, passengers are now treated like sardines, being flight crew used to be a glamorous, sought-after job. We still romanticize PanAm. Now AA attendants are looking to strike because they’re making poverty wages.
You can find stories of nightmare passengers and crews from all over the world if you look, but Americans are going to hear American news. I studied aeronautics and aviation in college. Hard to explain more from my phone while I’m pooping, but yes, flying used to be a MUCH better experience for all involved.

They know, their comment was sarcastic.

What do US politicians have to do with Iceland issuing the permits to an Icelandic company?

I hate the Cybertruck as much as the next guy, but this could really boil down to just tire choice and nothing more.
