    Haha, yeah I forgot about some of those engineering problems. Bursting into flames? Don’t worry about that. I’m definitely intrigued by the re-start as Karma Revero, though.

    True, however he may be just the leader at NIAID and just a guy in the task force, but in that light should he be the face of the task force briefing things everyday? He’s taken a role in doing so where he’s an implied authority with no real accountability. It’s super messy.

    One that everyone forgets about in these discussions about EVs is the Fisker Karma. Technically they went bankrupt in 2013 and it’s a hybrid, but the brand is back. Karma has a gas engine generator for when you exceed the electric only range, but all the power to the wheels is from the electric motors. I thought that was a decently interesting one.

    Tough spot, for sure, but then you question the effectiveness in the role as a senior advisor. But then you have to consider that an executive branch leader has to weigh many factors (generally speaking, separate from whether Trump did it appropriately) whereas a doctor advisor on public health is roughly always going to be incredibly conservative to doing everything to try saving as many people as possible without regard to other factors.

    To be fair, effectiveness as a leader includes getting people to follow you. I digress.

    When they keep losing games due to poor coaching, yes.

    United grounds PW4000 powered 777s temporarily.

    P&W statement that they’re working to revise inspection intervals for PW4000 engines. I bet. Must have missed when United Technologies merged into Raytheon.

    These are all good considerations. One of their nuclear plants had a sensor freeze and shut it off from the grid; colder parts of the country have nuclear plants that continue to run during winter weather, so it seems cost-saving infrastructure shortcuts were taken in design which was the real limfac.

    [quote] “I want to moderate how much we’re using those aircraft,” he said. “You don’t drive your Ferrari to work every day, you only drive it on Sundays. This is our ‘high end’ [fighter], we want to make sure we don’t use it all for the low-end fight … We don’t want to burn up capability now and wish we had it later.” [quote\] If only there was a low cost light attack option for the low-end fight, General...

    There’s not really a sound to it; ICE supercars have that passion thing that electric cars absolutely lack. Formula E cars might be really quick...but it doesn’t stir a lot of emotion.

    You must be a big fan of innocent until proven guilty.

    They’re changing the logo and leaving the actual offensive part: it’s imitation “maple syrup”

    This^ for people making that choice at 10 or 11 years into their career at the time, the matching would have had to have been much higher than 4% to make a difference.

    Sorry bout that, thought we sacked the guy responsible for those.

    What a nightmare for FAs to navigate.

    Congressman’s family sends certified letter stating he must be possessed by devil for voting for impeachment Seems logical. Hope things don’t escalate further. Solid efforts, though Kinzinger starts PAC to move party away from Trump
  19. SurelySerious
    Have you read about the insane stuff Kinzinger has been putting up with from his home base recently? Like literal extended family, IIRC. I’ll see if I can find. My congressman also crossed lines to vote for impeachment, and the amount of BS he gets from MAGA people is pretty ridiculous on social media. SM isn’t a broad spectrum of actual voters, but yikes. Edit: Kinzinger madness posted in Congressman thread.

    I’ve seen a pretty decent amount of AF people getting picked up by UPS/FedEx/Atlas. I think that while people are staying in for now, they seem to want to keep their options open, so I don’t see them taking 5 years at a significantly higher rate than before.

    The only thing Ja Rule is outraged about is he didn’t buy low.

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/joe-bidens-first-day-began-the-end-of-girls-sports-11611341066 I don’t think this was a good move. There should probably be a separate category for trans, because biologically male to female transitions are still going to have a lot of the physiology of the biologically male body.

    And AB5 did a terrible job of making that distinction. Uber driver can always accept or reject a particular fare if they don’t think the compensation is worth the effort.
  24. SurelySerious
    Alternatively, there seems to be a large section of Uber/Lyft drivers that enjoy the decreased commitment to that versus full employment, weighing that decreased benefits package vs flexibility.
  25. SurelySerious
    To be fair, the people of California passed Prop 22 in response to reverse AB5 (which, if you’re a political elite how is that not a sign that your platform was way off). What the political elites behind that AB5 platform seem to latch onto is that (predictably) Uber and Lyft put a lot of money behind Prop 22. What I thought was notable was the wide range of professions affected and against AB5. Freelance writers, wedding DJs, etc.
