Nope, sorry, that page describes multiple commercial accidents resulting in fatalities, since 2009. The Asiana crash at SFO had multiple fatalities, and was in 2013. From the Wikipedia page: “This is a list of fatal commercial aviation acci

Where are your dates from? According to the Wikipedia page, there have been multiple fatal plane crashes in the US since 2009, including a midair collision in 2019 (although not an airliner). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&

My phone is how I track most of my contacts, so it makes sense to me that someone would assume email contacts work the same way. I’ve was surprised by an email that revealed my saved contact name recently, and I used to work for an email co

You’re in agreement with the parent comment; I lean furniture is comparatively easy to assemble.

I live in a small community that relies on Facebook, and I would be shocked if you could get people to switch. You might get a few, but the network effect is strong enough that most will stay on Facebook. One alternative is an old-school em

I went back to school as an adult and struggled with “flipped” classrooms, where we watched video lectures on our own time and worked through problems in class. I don’t process information well from video, and struggled to hold focus. In-pe

Tinder does have an “are you sure you want to send that?” popup if you send something with certain keywords. Unfortunately that does nothing to filter out negging or harassment.

I can’t tell if this is a serious question. Towers this size are built in place, being able to handle the strain of being lifted from horizontal would be wild. Much easier and cheaper to pay a climber.

You are not the main character in some narrative. We are all individuals interacting with each other, and if you lose sight of that it’s very easy to make selfish and immoral choices.

Right? It took me a year and a half to find a GP accepting new patients and get my first appointment. I’m in the US. Getting pre approvals and appealing denials has delayed my care multiple times in other situations.

This is just as true for the European systems in the comment you’re replying to as it is in the American system. The problem is political.

I know someone who paid for a pirate streaming service. They said it had anything and everything, and was only $15/month. That’s less than I’m paying for HBO now, and I only get access to the hbo catalog.

Unfortunately mineral oil is derived from petroleum. I don’t care if someone says it’s food grade, I wouldn’t want to eat it.

I’ve had the same steel water bottle for over 10 years. Just because you don’t reuse things well doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

Do you know that it’s waxed paper, and not plasticized paper? Genuine question, since I imagine “wax” paper is either plasticized or using petroleum-based waxes.

I have seen it from their perspective, I’m not an idiot. I’m fully capable of seeing and understanding another persons perspective, and disagreeing with it. I reject the idea that allowing people to go hungry when there is a EXCESS of food

We were college students; we ate it ourselves. We also had access to a commercial kitchen, and anything getting close to going bad we’d make into prepared food, which always sold really fast. We couldn’t do that with our milk vendor though,

I worked in a grocery coop and it depended on the vendor. For some, they controlled how much stock we carried and would take back anything that didn’t sell. For things that we ordered directly and chose how much to carry, we were responsibl

I used to think that, until I went to buy my first house and had no credit. Not bad credit, just no credit. I couldn’t get a mortgage, even though the payment would have been half what I was paying in rent, because I was financially respons

The article specifically states that the FCC is required to do sweeps in large markets. In the past it was complaint based; this is a new and unfortunate change.

I call it “rural CrossFit.” I’m in great shape because I build fence, turn compost piles, haul water, and walk long distances regularly. I’ve noticed that when I work with people who are gym-fit, they tap out much faster even though they’re

I’m surprised they didn’t mention the kerfuffle with Baker Creek Seeds and their Purple Galaxy tomatoes. They’re a seed company that’s explicitly anti-GMO, and came out with a nearly identical tomato to Norfolks. At first they doubled down

A stint at the Recurse Center. I had to unlearn a lot of habits I’d built based on challenging teammates and stressful deadlines. Having the time to explore what I wanted, when I wanted, felt like magic. I had to consciously allow myself to

Have the class teach you how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Follow their instructions, EXACTLY. If they start off with something like “put jelly on the bread,” put the jar of jelly on the loaf of bread. It’s really fun with kid

They don’t need cows, but praries evolved with bison. There’s positive effects on carbon sequestration from short, intense grazing, much like a roaming herd of bison would have done. It’s not just removal of grass, it’s also nutrient cyclin

Much of Northern California and Oregon are fire adapted ecosystems, meaning that fire is a natural part of the landscape. There are plants that require smoke and fire for their seeds to germinate, for example. Converting wood to biochar doe
