This just isn't true. Part 121 operators develop and manage their own maintenance plans. That is done in conjunction with Boeing and the FAA but their maintenance plans may very well deviate from Boeings prescribed service and intervals per their standard maintenance manual.

Again, I understand the sentiment but this is not an example of them "getting away" with anything.

If anything this is indicative of a healthy Quality Management System given that this condition was identified and contained prior to any impacted articles entering into service.

Look I'm all for the "Fuck Boeing" circlejerk but as someone who actually works QA at an aircraft manufacturer this is likely a whole lot of nothing.

I'd be shocked if you could find a single aircraft of any make in service that didn't have dozens of misdrilled holes.

Without any context this is just fear mongering.

So the general consensus is that these power ratings are a fuckin joke right?

I'd equate it more closely to reading a book as a leisure activity as there are noted benefits to both but neither are strictly necessary for survival.

There's also a degree of mental conditioning to it as well. Once you start feeling and seeing the results, it reinforces the workout itself as the activity responsible for that and makes the workout itself more enjoyable as a result.

Plus I just enjoy pushing myself. Mentally and physically I enjoy a challenge and powerlifting is an easily quantifiable way to accomplish that.

Apparently I'm in the minority here but I love working out. Specifically powerlifting. Cardio is ok after the fact but I don't particularly enjoy it during, but lifting heavy is a huge stress relief and something I look forward to daily.

First of H.G. Wells work that I've read and I really enjoyed it. Reminded me a lot of Jules Verne though a bit lighter on the technical aspects and heavier on the social commentary.

The foresight to predict things like climate change was impressive but it was the implications with regards to capitalism and the system of haves and have-nots that's really sticking with me.

Planning to read War of the Worlds next, then maybe The Invisible Man.

Yea this was a pretty inevitable response. Petty as fuck with the timing but expected, will be interesting to see how it impacts US/EU manufacturing.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but from a safety perspective shouldn't this mechanism fail open? Especially given the fact that I don't believe they even have a physical key, it's only the electromechanical locking mechanism

So cool, I'd love the chance to attend the Holi Festival of Colors one day

Really interesting breakdown, thanks for sharing that.

Can't say I'm even remotely surprised. It's unfortunate that even user reviews have become all but useless on most platforms due to corpo bullshit like this.
