I wonder if a bigger factor would be the test pilots knowing in advance what the test was. Eg. being told, "next we are testing what happens when MACS fails", whereas in a real life situation the pilot has to diagnose what has hap

Is a software engineer really a recognised proffesion in CA? It's a proffesional level job, but reconisation usually means being a member of some sort of proffesional body - no idea what the software one of those would be?

In most of the UK now, recycling is collected more frequently than non-recycling. For us, non-recycling is only collected every 2 weeks, and the bin issued for it is half the size of the recycling bin. Food waste is still collected weekly,

20 miles is very do-able on an electric bike. Decent models with 100 mile ranges are now around the $1,800 mark. Also, people live far from where they want to go because they (and city officials) have planned their lives around easy access
