Straight to jail.

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

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.

You can go to this FAA Link and view "Records of Accidents and Incidents. Takes a bit to learn to interpret the data but there are a lot of incidents. If I recall it includes both commercial and general aviation.

Edited because I can’t English properly.

I was lead to believe we would get Ant Man.

BROTHER MAYNARD: Armaments, Chapter Two, Verses Nine to Twenty-One.

SECOND BROTHER: And Saint Attila raised the Hand Grenade up on high, saying, “O Lord, bless this Thy Hand Grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy.” And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu—

MAYNARD: Skip a bit, Brother.

Whatever your opinion on the subject is, I thought this was pretty incredible for aviation in general:

That’s a safety record of about one or two passenger fatalities per light-year traveled.

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

I agree we know what needs to happen but a rapid phase out of fossil fuels is not something I see the world fully commiting to anytime soon, hence some other clever solution which I admit I have no idea what that would be.

Not going to happen. We need to be clever and find another solution. I’ve been browsing Far Side comics on Lemmy for answers but haven’t found any.

I remember when he blew a maniac in traffic who shot a thick cloud on his back for hours that he didn’t get to see because of the eclipse. He never made it home because he was too tired.

Upvoted because it truly is an unpopular opinion.

I’ve enjoyed reading many of these comments and I wanted to expand a bit on the reason for the question.

Several friends of mine would camp for several days and do the kind of things guys do. Then we’d realize we’re kind of gross, rude, not attractive, have a lot of shortcomings, and generally not full of great qualities. But, we’ve all been married a long time and will ask ourselves why in the hell did our wives agree to marry ugly, gross fools like us? We know why we married them; they’re far better people than we are! My wife is obviously smarter than me and it isn’t even a fair comparison.

In the end, I guess we make them laugh and are extremely wealthy.

I lied about the extremely wealthy part. I meant borderline poor.

Pulling my dad’s finger always made him fart. Definitely not normal to have your finger connected to a pressure relief valve in your ass.

Would get away to fish for two weeks. No cell phones, no technology, just living (camping) in nature. Enjoy the beauty of the lake and the challenge of catching a fish. Isn’t always easy and you probably throw back more than you keep. Sit on the boat with your buddies, drink beer, BS about anything, and every now and then reel in what feels like Mobey Dick at the end of your line but turns out to be a stick.

Fish. They eat all their food wet so why not eat them when they’re drowning in shower water?

@Somewhereunknown7351 That’s why you’re a unicorn then - which means very rare or one of a kind.

@Somewhereunknown7351 I thought you were saying you didn’t have a phone when you probably meant you don’t have an addiction.
