Hamas will disappear when Iran determines they’re no longer useful

Putin has shifted to being good with Bibi keeping the conflict going. Because like Bibi, he thinks it will play a factor in getting Trump elected.

Iran is usually up for helping poke the little Satan. Selling Russia more drones is good too. But getting 1 of their proxies wiped out. Plus the other 2 heavily engaged. Then Putin shifts to back Israel. Guessing that wasn’t what Iran bargained for.

Long-term it could be in Iran’s favor as people are waking up to how fucked the Zionists are. But to have Putin play both sides should cause Iran to reconsider how much they’re really aligned.

Iran is probably a bit frustrated with Russia right now given how things have played out past Oct 7th.

So both. For sure.

Nah I definitely want both. My current hobbies are expensive. My dream hobby of getting a pilots license and a small plane would be really expensive.

Quick reminder that Elon’s dad is also a creep around women.

Errol likely groomed his own stepdaughter. They now have 2 kids.

Thanks for the heads up. Recently took mine out of storage. Setting up a game room now that my kids are old enough to trust them. Did an SSD upgrade the other day. Will look into the chip issue.

That model in the picture is one of them. I don’t think all the fat PS3s could. But nearly all of them. Was why they were chonky.

It’s funnier than that. Spirit was Boeing. Before dipshit Jack Welch copycats spun it off. Now they’re buying it back.

What page did you see those details on in the report? I skimmed it between meetings and will look again later.

The new design was vibration tested for five hours both laterally and vertically without failure and the system had a first mode resonant frequency response at 170 Hz and a second mode at 260 Hz. Analysis of the drain tube at 165 Hz demonstrated that with a 5g or 10g input load, the drain tube would fracture after either 200,000 or 21,000 fatigue cycles respectively, at the bend adjacent to the slat track housing. This equates to approximately either 20 minutes or 2 minutes of operation.

Doesn’t seem to be major issue there either. Above is a quote from the AAIB report. They’re talking about an already redesigned and upgraded drain this plan had installed in 2012. It was found the redesigned part performed better than required. Even when damaged on purpose before testing. The recommendation here is more like hey FAA maybe you should update the test requirements. 20 minutes or 2 minutes of holding up while shit is going wrong might not be enough.

But even with all this going on the engine was making thrust. Pilot was just worried about flying across the Atlantic with a vibration they noticed was getting worse after 20 minutes in the air. They suspected but didn’t even know the engine was blown until back on the ground. The fire was happening in the exhaust stream and not within any part of the plane itself.

Nah slow news day. This failure happened February of 2023 to a 25 year old plane. That same plane is in the air right now over Missouri according to FlightAware. N197DN.

This is just the UK version of the FAA finally getting around to releasing their findings. Which is weird because the final report isn’t that long. Their testing found some of the components that broke due to vibration held up longer than design parameters. Even after being purposely damaged. So Boeing was actually installing better parts than needed per the requirements. But that doesn’t mean they’ll never fail in a way people might not have thought to test prior.

Then he fired his PR team not long after that. He pushed out all the people getting paid to help him not look like an idiot.

A lot of it is turning into swamp and sink holes as the permafrost melts

It’s just the Jack Welch playbook over and over. Even though people finally started to realize Jack was a fucking idiot and ruined GE.

He got rich. But fucked one of the most well known and respected companies in the world doing it.

It’s not terrible. I mentioned it mainly because getting through law school in the US costs about $200k. Becoming a lawyer is one of the most expensive fields to get into.

Public defenders make the list. Last figures I saw average salary is around $65k.

They aren’t. This opinion article sucks. It’s certainly a version of the story but it’s not a good one.

Kenya has budget shortfalls because the previous government borrowed from China and others like they never had to pay it back. The IMF extended them a small line of credit (compared to their existing loans) at I believe a 0% interest rate. It was to help them stabilize their budget temporarily and pay off other loans with interest coming due. Because helping Kenya is way more beneficial to everyone than letting them collapse.

The IMF made recommendations for a bunch of ways Kenya could start digging out of the hole they’re in. One of them was tax changes. Kenya’s leaders chose to simply increase taxes and say the IMF is making them to shift the blame. Instead of deploying a variety of suggestions IMF made.

That pissed people off of course. So now they’re going to try other suggestions the IMF came up with. Like eliminating government administrative waste. Such as no longer covering unnecessary travel costs and ending monthly allowances for spouses of politicians.
