Good to know, thank you! I’ll have to look closer when I visit a forum next.

Reddit does shitty stuff, but at least I’m able to find stuff on there. Why Discord took off as a medium to replace forums is beyond me. It’s not easily searchable, and search engines can’t index it. If people aren’t fastidious about replying to messages they’re responding to, it’s just a nonsense stream of consciousness from dozens of people.

That being said, I hate the formatting of most forums. Reddit and Lemmy’s comment nesting is excellent. It’s very easy to follow conversations.

No, their airlines are not an ancillary product. They are their main product. According to Boeing’s earnings reports, the commercial aircraft segment of the company made up 56% of total revenue in 2018, 42% in 2019, 27% in 2020, 30% in 2021, 38% in 2022, and 43% in 2023. The rest of their revenue is split between the Defense, Space and Security segment, and the Global Services segment.

Prior to 2017, the vast majority of the earnings for the whole company came from the Commercial Airplanes segment. Since then, that segment has been operating at a loss. Since 2022, both Defense and Commercial Airplanes have been operating at a loss.

If you’re curious you can look up Boeing’s 10-k form. Page 56 has the revenue breakdowns.

I know that if I skip a meal, I can get really hungry later. That or I start snacking on crap. So skipping a meal could potentially lead to weight gain because you end up eating more than if you didn’t skip the meal.

Here’s a school bus going up for auction. 117,000 miles. Sitting for 2 years. Current bid $643 with 3 days left.

While this policy is bullshit, I’d firmly disagree that kei cars are safer than half of vehicles in the US.

• They’re all right hand drive, which makes it harder to see other traffic and pedestrians. Their headlights are also aimed to illuminate the left shoulder in Japan. In the US, those headlights will blind oncoming drivers.
• In order to be imported into the US, these kei cars are all 25 years old at least. Crash safety has improved a lot in that time. The slab fronts of these cars provide no crumple zone for occupants. Like many modern pickup trucks, a pedestrian will be crushed, rather than scooped onto the hood and windshield of a shorter car like a sedan.
• Because of their age, many of these vehicles might not have ABS or airbags. Additionally, their age also will make them more likely to have a technical problem, which will be harder to solve since they’re JDM only vehicles.

That’s the dumbest fucking thing I’ve read all day.

The plane is 34 years old. It’s probably more likely it’s Delta’s lack of maintenance than a problem with Boeing.

Excuse me, but Tennessee is clearly a trapezoid. /s

Wow that article really doesn’t explain what they are.

Red flag laws basically allow the government to temporarily seize weapons from someone if the person is believed to be dangerous. Exact implementations vary by state.

Essentially, if your family member is acting crazy again and you feel threatened, or they’re threatening someone else with a weapon, you can petition a court to remove any weapons they have without having to convict that person of a crime.

While I disagree entirely with the concept of a non-compete, I can sort of understand the logic for employees who work with trade secrets and intellectual property. The only logic behind a non-compete for a hospital or any other service industry business is “fuck you”.

I’m glad it kinda worked out for you tho.

Ma tilde = Matilda

I’m rather partial to Ma~

For those who don’t know, like me, the Aitken Bible was the first English edition of the Bible published in the US. It was approved by the Congress of the Confederation (the government before the Constitution was signed) in 1782.

I’m sure the judge and the judge’s family’s lives would be immediately threatened by his deranged followers. So that could be part of it.

Philips screws are awful. They strip if you look at them wrong. Flatheads should only be used on thumbscrews just in case you need a little extra torque from a screwdriver.

Torx and Hex are excellent.

That looks like a Porsche Taycan with an Hyundai Ioniq 6 grafted onto its ass. Despite that it looks pretty good.

I’m on Vyvanse. The name brand stuff definitely reduces my anxiety and makes me less prone to depressive thoughts.

I’m still experimenting, but the generic (when I can get it) might give me anxiety. I’m not totally sure because it’s pretty subtle.

Try a lower dose. Try different meds. You’ll react to each med differently, and everyone reacts to meds differently. Don’t be like me and be afraid to experiment with different meds. (When I say experiment, I mean have your prescriber give you different meds.) Stimulants are easy to gauge effectiveness compared to other drugs like antidepressants. Stimulants either work, or they don’t, and their effects usually aren’t that subtle.

Good luck.

Here’s how it works

The inverse vaccine takes advantage of a natural process in which the liver marks molecules from broken-down cells with “do not attack” flags to prevent autoimmune reactions to those cells as they die by natural processes. PME researchers coupled an antigen—a molecule being attacked by the immune system—with a molecule resembling a fragment of an aged cell that the liver would recognize as friend rather than foe.

A while ago I found this blog post about why there are different tow ratings in the US vs. Europe.

It basically boils down to American tow ratings being designed to allow for higher speeds (beyond 60 mph) than European ratings. And it’s more of a question of vehicle stability than power.
