Battery fires are contained not extinguished. You prevent spread and cool the battery until it finally exhausts its fuel. that can take as much as 6 hours or even more. Interestingly a Motorcycle fire is treated as a Bomb. The fire department will not fight a motorcycle fire. they stand back until it explodes. Certain types of car fire a treated similarly. In my neighbourhood there have been 3 fires in the last 10 years of a vehicle while parked and unattended. Cause deemed to be electrical all 3 times. All were Internal combustion cars.

remember many years ago they had POX PARTIES to get your kid infected with chicken pox so you could control the when and how? Well no one thought that was an issue. until 50 years later when Shingles showed up which is far worse that the Chicken Pox even though it is the same virus sitting dormant until it gets you. That was an attempt at herd immunity through infection with a nasty side effect. Now we get vaccinated for Shingles and it isn't cheap.

There is a method to the expensive boat and the act of holding it for a few years and then getting rid of it. It is called Tax avoidance. What these companies do is start a shell company that "charters" the yaught. Since they don't really try to "Charter" it but instead just use it to entertain clients etc. They lose money. But the IRS does not let you lose money indefinitely so you need to "sink" the company. In doing so you get away from a heavy tax burden since you took a loss but still had full use of the yaught for a few years. Then you sell it off to recoup the cost (portion there of) then start the process again. This was explained to be by a large business owner in Miami. It seems the old adage that you need money to make money holds true here. Of course it also points out that Tax Avoidance is the legal version of Tax Evasion.

NO vaccine is 100% effective. That was NEVER a claim by anyone.

who did not see this kind of thing coming when they decided to unionize? Welcome to the big leagues.

I did some work for Home depot in Atlanta on one of their $90M Global Express Jets. Why is this any different. He has the money he can spend it as he chooses. Do I agree that he needs that much? No but he earned it so let him spend it as he pleases. It keeps a LOT of people employed.

If someone had a false waybill with all the appropriate information on it, then it was likely an inside job. You dont just print up a waybill

It is the new lightweight seats. They are light because there is no cushion anymore. Airbus has the worst seats of the bunch

Pretty sure there is a seat cover change required in there somewhere

well we know who doesn't read the announcements -

When we were riding through the midwest we saw tons of these guys doing fields. at one point we could see a dozen of them as we rode through. It sure looked like fun from that perspective.

I had an issue with some C# development. I couldnt figure something out. I asked Chat GPT to code it for me in C# and in less that 20 seconds had working code that solved my issue.

I think the "I'm Not OK" is more related to the depression that the mushrooms. That is a statement of a realization leading to a suicide attempt. He was not mentally ok. We have a tendency to not listen to people when they admit they are no ok and thus they do not get the proper help in a timely fashion. This is a sad event for him as he will never fly again.

I can confirrm this is accurate. I drive AROUND brampton

47,37,27. I always towed the 747 this way. preferred it. Even pushed the nose gear all the way to the hangar a few times

Nah no flight safety issues. UNTIL THE PRESSURE BULKHEAD BLOWS OUT due to improperly drilled holes.

Marjorie Morningstar (Ward) Very nice.

Yeah we don't get C1s we have to use C2s

They are no longer in the hangar on the base. They have a whole new building now added on to the Museum. I love this place and visit every couple of years. One of the best Museums out there

It is not always about money. For example I take my overtime in Time off not cash. the time off is far more valuable than cash same for the Junior Captain. sure he gets more money but no lifestyle to spend it on

agreed it does. But where is the "glory" in filling a pot hole. Heck we cannot even find young people to work a farm for the summer because its actual work People want the glory job not the actual work job

so much for his crew rest period. Does that not impact flight safety now?

while the expenditure is enormous you have to think where that money actually ends up. There are thousands of prople supporting Artemis and NASA directly on the project. They all get paid, and probably pretty well. They all take that money and go out to dinner and buy products from local retailers. Buy cars, new houses....whatever. That money then gets into the pockets of families that sell those products and the cycle continues. When the Government says THEY creates X number of Jobs, this is what they mean. Stop the Artemis Mission alone would put thousands of people out of work at the beginning of the worst recession since 2008. Not a good idea.

a flat board can generate lift at the correct angle of attack. It will not be efficient. A flat bottomed wing will generate lift with a VERY small angle of attack and very little if any deflection. What about a symmetrical airfoil? The airflow over the wing and under the wing travel at the same velocity and pressure with an AOA of 0 deg. rendering it neutral. increasing the AOA is what causes the area of low pressure to develop on top of the airfoil. However the argument could also be made that the air on lower surface is now being deflected downward. So which one has the greatest effect the pressure or the angle of deflection? Interesting topic as I think in certain cases Bernoulli wins and in other cases the deflection theory plays into it.

ummmmmm. Where did the plane go on full reheat?
