I like that they thought about that, in a lot of shows and movies you see ships in space where gravity may not exist at times with no visible way for people to move themselves around under zero-g, so its refreshing when a show puts in the w

The police have given up on property crimes in Seattle for the most part, and the shoplifting has in some cases gotten quite brazen and violent.

Are you expecting police to be posted at the doors of all these stores?

I have no preference, so sometimes I will say Native American, sometimes its American Indian, sometimes its indigenous... No real preference other than I tend to use one or another based on context at times. Its more clear and not mildly

As a Native American this comes across to me the same as how the savior complex drives people to talk down to Native Americans about their persecution. And that's pretty much what the OP article is complaining about, people with savior

As someone who designs electronics sometimes, I would love to know how manufacturers are getting so detailed failure rate data on their components to achieve this lasting just past the warranty period and then breaking thing. I think its ac

If you discharge the battery pack more than 50% every day its going to last less than 500 days with current lithium-ion battery technology. So, you would need to get an EV with a range of more than 400 miles.

There are legitimately single carrier routes in USPS that are in excess of 200 miles, so it may not be currently possible to produce an EV capable of doing that every day for years without something drastic like replacing the battery pack e

Its noted that a 747 had a very similar issue the same day as this 777 with the same series of engine. Since the issue is most likely with fracture detection during maintenance inspection and P&W introduced new procedures for that a few

Indeed, 88 years ago Boeing made an agreement with the US government not to make certain aircraft parts (engines mostly) and not to operate any airlines. Those ugly freighters they built for the 787? Flown by Atlas Air.

Contained vs uncontained turbine failures relate to the damage from the blades being contained, which in this case they were. Contained failures still result in engine parts exiting the engine, but not through the engine case, which is rei

Yes, and it reacts to being opened in a background tab by closing its own tab. Which is weird.

If the sensors are that far in disagreement, its a sensor failure or something worse.

All of the things so far cited as ways Boeing has been obfuscating the MAX name have been things that Boeing has not actually done. On the contrary many airlines are being clear what they are doing to bring back their MAX aircraft, and no

The scenarios where it is disabled without a sensor failure are also outside the flight regimes where MCAS should be activating. If there is a sensor failure, the aircraft legally should not be dispatched (not meeting MEL), so its on the ai

Its not legal for the MAX to be flown without MCAS. It corrects a control force issue that must be corrected for it to obtain an airworthiness certificate. Cite: FARs §25.173, §25.175.

Engine thrust related nose up forces would be less on the MAX as the engines are closer to the CG and CL. What is being compensated for is the change of the center of lift as the AoA changes because of where the engine nacelle is and how bi

The following: * Changes to the trim system electrical wiring to prevent possible shorts (none have been reported so far). * Changes to the flight laws in the computers to limit MCAS activation authority (how far it moves), limit activation
