The 737 Max-9 hasn't been assembled properly. You can bet it's not just the plug door. What a mess. Boeing used to know how to do this, then capital took over. Outsource your manufacturing and QA, see what happens.

@Mitsu Talk to the admissions tutor. Don't panic! You're smart, you'll be fine.

@SirCandinavian@noagendasocial.com Don't make 'em like they used to!

British Airtours 5390 had a window blowout because of improper fasteners being used, it almost caused the commander to be pulled out the window. Cabin crew held onto his legs while he lay on the aircraft's nose. Pressure hulls are serious shit. Like the Alaskan accident, this was not actually at full cabin pressure either.

@checkervest A faulty rear pressure bulkhead is squeaky-bum time. That has caused total losses in the past. JAL123, China 611. It's very weird to me, this isn't lego, the standards are crazy high, both in manufacturing and inspection. What is going on?

@checkervest The number one question I am sure the NTSB is asking is "what else?" Because you know this wasnt' a one-off.

One of the most beautiful things in the world remains the moment in one of the final Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 cutscenes where Tim Curry _barely_ holds it together. Both that it exists, and that that's the take they went with.

No Mans Sky very capable of the 70s concept album vibe. I love it. Very Roger Dean.

@DismalManorGang We're getting a hint over in Western PA; wind and rain, although not too bad. More precipitation and then snow early AM.

@Cal @anhdoilc@kind.social This is great! Really hits the spot.

@Cal @anhdoilc@kind.social Thank you so much!

@anhdoilc@kind.social @Cal Whenever I used to hear these I used to think of sailors out there in the middle of the sea just listening to it studiously. It's very measured and relaxing.
