Not sure if you need to identify as a biologist or not. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-10853121/Uterus-shaped-cereal-aims-normalise-conversations-periods.html

I have always said that a good day is learning something new and I have never heard of an oologist. Interesting. So, does this mean that the question "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" can have a corollary question, "Which came first, the omelet or the chef?"

Bullshit. Unless you are a ornithologist, how would you know???

An F-15 from Langley was flown to Maine to pick up a load of "lahbstahs." Lobsters are flown back to VA, cooked, and there was much rejoicing. Moving forward in time, the jet goes in for the big colonoscopy maintenance check, and, lo and behold, there is significant corrosion along the keel of the fuselage and the damage is fatal. After some sleuthing, the trail leads back to the lobster run. Turns out the lobsters were packed in frozen SEA water which melted and ran down through the jet. Scratch one Eagle off the books.

With either job, you would get a pay raise just by moving out of CA.

ClearedHot, you are obviously ignorant! You forgot Hunter Biden s business partners, the Chinese! Come on, man! Nothing like trying to get through the Great Internet Firewall of China while visiting that country to drive that point home.

The further we get from 1984, the closer we get. With the recent history of government agencies involved in sketchy behavior with a noticable political bent, what could possibly go wrong?

He has never had an original thought in his political life and parrots what he is told to say. Combine this with the obvious signs of senility and I'm guessing his awareness of the economic condition of the country is close to zero.

Interesting numbers regarding conservative Twitter accounts. Can the minions at Twitter see what is coming? https://nypost.com/2022/04/27/its-about-time-to-crack-open-big-techs-black-boxes-which-suppress-conservatives/

Yep, always the FNG that thought he would show motivation and seriousness by showing up early only to take a verbal beat down while being informed his job is to learn to be a fighter pilot and be ready to fly whether on the schedule or not. Had to explain that to several new guys. RTUs should teach that.

That was attributed to pilot error doing a full rudder deflection swap which caused the rudder to fail. Not that I agree with the findings but that's what they said.

Yes, you can fly it single pilot if the other pilot isn't horrendously incompetent and keeps touching switches. Self induced problems were apparently a trend item with this guy.

The conversation is also happening at AA where he was hired.

Ammoseek.com is a website that does internet searches.

I flew the 737, not the Max version, and my understanding was A) the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches still work and would have stopped MCAS, B) the jet is controllable with full nose down trim but only at slower speeds (w/flaps?), and C) higher airspeeds put too much pressure on the stab and that pressure prevents manual trimming of the stab. Any 737 guys with better info?

Yeah, I don't how someone would fall to do something, anything to stop the aircraft from accelerating uncontrolled. Never say never but I don't think the Max accidents would have happened within US or European airlines.

I've wandered into and out airport sans mask. My only encounter with anyone making a comment was a TSA lady at the Known Crew Member entry who asked "Do you have a mask?". I replied "Yes" and kept walking. She laughed.

Could have been a botched go-around. If you select gear-up prior to bringing the flap lever up from landing flaps (25 or 30), you will get the configuration warning. But if I've got a low altitude flight control issue and don't hit the ground while cleaning up the jet, whatever works is fine with me.

Can't say I've got excellent recall on them but it sounds like autopilot disconnect and configuration (e.g. gear not down and landing flaps selected, speed brakes extended, etc.) warnings.

I'm not sure I can withstand the outrageous level of bogosity.

I don't think complaining about a biased media helps but I'm going to keep complaining anyway. Over the last 4-5 years, Think of the very long list of "bombshells," "the walls are closing in," and "the beginning of the end" declarations based on "anonymous," "off the record," or "sources inside say" information that were total fabrications yet the media slobbered over those stories endlessly. No facts, no problem. Yet, any story that contains factual credible information that might shed light on the corrupt dealings of their own party (yes, most media works for the democrat party) gets ignored.

Twitter feed of mostly Russian and come Ukrainian military equipment destroyed or captured. The video of John Deere tractors dragging off T-80s is something I wasn't expecting. https://mobile.twitter.com/uaweapons?fbclid=IwAR3BlDhCf8vBzxNPmSF3dgpqzo2yjcKr6_VJDDt5Lz-JJhiFRf_hX37oPjY
