I find it hard to understand how using a tool to do the heavy lifting actually imparts the skills onto you directly. Why should there be multiplicative returns when you haven't actually learned anything?

The idea that 22% of them are NOT junk is honestly surprising to me. I would've expected a number north of 90% to come out of even a cursory investigation.

I took advantage of the used car market to upgrade my 2021 Subaru to a 2024 (same car, better trim), there's actually MORE physical controls in the 2024 - hope isn't entirely lost!

24mpg seems right. I drive a pretty medium sized car - Subaru Outback - and I pulled 25.5mpg on a big road trip. My right foot is a little heavy. Trucks and the fat SUVs that are super popular here get astronomically bad fuel mileage. Think

1/6 the events in a vanishing amount of samples would probably imply the number to be 7/6, and given the passenger counts I imagine that’s an undercount. Therefore the crashes would look more like 0.085 for both Single Aisles in a

That’s such a misleading number. The numbers you post EXCLUDE both NEO and MAX crash rates, but meanwhile the MAX would grossly inflate 737-NG rates and NEO flights would slightly depress A320 rates I highly suggest not citing those numbers

Are you trolling? Using 737 NG would be like using Airbus NEO variants, which ALL were excluded from the list in the single aisle category for having a 0.00 crash rate…
