Fast food isn’t a luxury. A luxury is something extravagant, high quality, and highly enjoyable. Fast food is simply an overpriced disappointment.

This piece continues to bring a tear to my eye.

I’m almost 50 years old and I’ve been hearing about this for almost 50 years.

Did you name it?

From the species that brought you the airplane, the atomic bomb, landing on the moon, and gator daycare - introducing swamp side luxury dining next to a fucking congregation of alligators…

Just like Kyle to slack off when a world record is on the line. Thanks, Kyle!

Reading through the articles and linked articles in the comments, gas stove emissions contribute to, not a direct cause of, the deaths of .04% of the 50 million people in the US that use gas stoves.

Not saying this isn’t important, but I don’t think this will ever crack the top 10 concerns of my lifetime.

The title does say “very safe” so that’s good enough for me.

Gas be damned, I gotta get my steps in!

Straight to jail.

I just woke up and read the headline as “highly photogenic bird flu”

Watch as Musk seamlessly blends in with his surroundings. Predators are unable to distinguish his profile from the white yacht with black trim.

It’s Australia - better make sure they aren’t lethally poisonous!

Hey guys…I don’t think that picture’s to scale…

I have that book but that page is stuck together.

I have nothing to contribute to this conversation. Just wanted to say that was a horribly written article.

We tested Comac parts for FAA certification. When you’ve tested parts for decades you can pretty much nail down the cause of the failure be it design, process, materials, a combination and so forth.

Also the c919 is only certified in China. It can’t fly in the US or Europe.

There is more that goes into an airplane than the people maintaining or assembling it, which can and does go afoul. There is the entire manufacturing process, how materials are sourced, processed, refined, machined/formed, heat treated, stress relieved, coated/plated, assembled, and the list goes on. That is a major factor why aircraft are so safe and if you think China’s material and process controls are as rigorous as someone like Boeing or Airbus, it isn’t. It has taken decades of actual aircraft manufacturing to get the formula right for those respective companies and they continue to evolve as time goes on and new information is learned.

Oh boy I just turned into one of those “well actually” guys. I wasn’t trying to prove anything wrong. It got me interested in the 1906 eclipse and when I started looking into it things didn’t quite line up. This post spurred my curiosity!

I actually think the year is wrong? I found this image of the August 30, 1905 eclipse path which would have been seen over Egypt. There was an eclipse on August 20, 1906 but no where near Egypt.
