If that’s the case, a luxury of convenience, then fast food was and still is a luxury. Or maybe fast food was an $affordable luxury of convenience and now it is an $$$expensive luxury of convenience. Ok, that makes sense to me.

Fast food isn’t a luxury. A luxury is something extravagant, high quality, and highly enjoyable. Fast food is simply an overpriced disappointment.

I saw Furiosa in the theater Sunday. About 7 people in the theater. Movie was good, tad slow in the middle, but definitely got me tense a few times. I don’t know what it is about movie theaters but they always seem grimey and as I get older I don’t tolerate grimey things as much. I’d give the movie 7/10 and the movie theater experience 4/10.

I’m almost 50 years old and I’ve been hearing about this for almost 50 years.

From the species that brought you the airplane, the atomic bomb, landing on the moon, and gator daycare - introducing swamp side luxury dining next to a fucking congregation of alligators…

The title does say “very safe” so that’s good enough for me.

Gas be damned, I gotta get my steps in!

I just woke up and read the headline as “highly photogenic bird flu”

Hey guys…I don’t think that picture’s to scale…

I have nothing to contribute to this conversation. Just wanted to say that was a horribly written article.

We tested Comac parts for FAA certification. When you’ve tested parts for decades you can pretty much nail down the cause of the failure be it design, process, materials, a combination and so forth.

Also the c919 is only certified in China. It can’t fly in the US or Europe.

There is more that goes into an airplane than the people maintaining or assembling it, which can and does go afoul. There is the entire manufacturing process, how materials are sourced, processed, refined, machined/formed, heat treated, stress relieved, coated/plated, assembled, and the list goes on. That is a major factor why aircraft are so safe and if you think China’s material and process controls are as rigorous as someone like Boeing or Airbus, it isn’t. It has taken decades of actual aircraft manufacturing to get the formula right for those respective companies and they continue to evolve as time goes on and new information is learned.

Oh boy I just turned into one of those “well actually” guys. I wasn’t trying to prove anything wrong. It got me interested in the 1906 eclipse and when I started looking into it things didn’t quite line up. This post spurred my curiosity!

I actually think the year is wrong? I found this image of the August 30, 1905 eclipse path which would have been seen over Egypt. There was an eclipse on August 20, 1906 but no where near Egypt.

I got through 7 minutes of the video while on toilet. After that I realized this is no different than what I left at the bottom of the porcelain bowl.

I was lead to believe we would get Ant Man.

Might find your answer here around the 50,000 year mark.

At first glance I thought this guy had a wooden leg. An entire wooden leg.
