Some thoughts on the tradeoffs with animal cruelty. I would love to get pork in a cruelty-free way, and I’d vastly prefer factory-manufactured steak and bacon, if it was indistinguishable in every way from that obtained by killing cattle and pigs.
Apparently, the gourmands have discovered pork rinds. Yes, the deep-fried, not at all good for you, salt-laden, very high fat, treat found rarely if ever outside the US South or (as chicharones) where there is a sizeable Mexican consumer pool.
They’re actually quite keto, because low carb (close to zero). There’s nothing wrong with high fat, as long as it’s not seed oils.
Trump’s biggest challenge: Educating the kids on socialism. We shouldn’t have to do this, but the schools clearly haven’t. And unfortunately, that’s no accident.
That is to say, the learning period currently set to expire in 2023 (I think) for the FAA (or whoever) to not regulate mission assurance should be extended indefinitely. Guess I should op-ed that.
And it's equally unclear at this point (at least to me) whether it's a bad design or a crew-training issue (did they RTFM?), though the fact that there have been no such incidents in the US suggests the latter.
State owned @FijiAirways cannot afford to ground their #737MAX – they taken a billion dollars out of compulsory superannuation fund for their wish list. Grounding would bankrupt airline … even the state itself…. pic.twitter.com/SumhqSDRuM
Is there a database doctor in the house? I’m trying to do a new installation. I created the database, follow all the instruction, but when I start to install WordPress, it creates a database structure, with no tables, then kicks out a bunch of errors for each table it didn’t create. It’s somewhat infuriating.
Two points: I fear the day that we won’t be allowed to drive, except in special circumstances (like amusement parks).
Point Two: I suspect that a lot of current auto traffic will move to the air, with the advent of Urban Air Mobility, particularly if the vehicles can be powered from the ground (e.g., Jeff Greason’s and Dan DeLong’s Electric Sky is working on such a concept). Airbus has an interesting concept of moving passengers via passenger modules that are moved from one vehicle type to another, like cargo containers, in which you’d share a pod with people from your door to an aircraft, to a long-range aircraft, to another aircraft, to the other door. That’s a lot more interesting and flexible concept than high-speed rail.
