Well, it can be. It can also be used irresponsibly. And it can very much also be a part of wild conspiracy theories. There are absolutely conspiracy theories involving cloud seeding. Just because something is real doesn’t mean people don’t believe nutty things about it.

Oh, very likely, but I’m also curious about his question. I know the wastewater from boiling water power plants has substantial effects on the local wildlife habitat. It’s not particularly relevant how the water gets up to the boiling point. It’s just I’m sure somebody’s looked at the overall impact on local…

Hm. Now I very much want to test the back hatch on my RAV4, since I keep my dog back there, and I’m always afraid she’ll stick her head out suddenly while it’s closing. I mean, I stand right by the door and watch her while it’s closing, but still, there’s that fear . . .

Never mind the influence, just the general mindset of the average Bozeman resident. They do not care who you are. If you have money, they care insofar as you pay your bills with it. It does not make you special.

And it’s only March.

Psst: my :-P was supposed to be a hint that I think you guys are taking this waaaaay too seriously.

MY ASSUMPTION IS BETTER THAN HIS!!!!  :-p

I’m going by what a Boeing employee described elsewhere. Also, this didn’t happen at a Spirit facility; it happened at a Boeing facility, on the 737 assembly line, not at Spirit Aerosystems in Kansas. Spirit will send employees into Boeing facilities to perform rework. it’s not like Boeing will receive a fuselage,…

Well, just because there’s new air being brought in doesn’t mean it’ll keep up with the production of more peanut farts.  ;-)

I won’t judge, because I don’t know their situation. I mean, maybe they’ve got my dog in the car with them. That dog has some serious farts.  ;-)

There were criminal charges during those scandals too, actually. The Delta IV scandal involved corporate espionage, and I seem to recall someone actually went to prison over it.

Nothing new to talk about; it’d just be idle speculation.  Give the investigation time.

“Boeing is done for the next couple of decades.”

Apparently, Spirit identified a deficiency that needed to be corrected. This required removal of the door plug. Since the fuselage had been delivered to Boeing, by the rules, Boeing’s technicians would have been responsible for removing and reinstalling the plug. However, it seems this action was not properly…

It’s awfully telling that it still works even if you don’t pay for the subscription.  Now *why* would they be paying for that network even if a very large proportion of the users aren’t ponying up subscription fees, hmmm??  I wonder.....

Thank goodness those tankers were empty.  Could’ve been so much worse.

Oh, they’ll be fine.  They have ARGUMENTS all set for that!  And I’m sure they’ll all work out just fine!  :-D

Keep your seatbelt fastened!

I’m in MSP, so “choosing Delta” is almost not a choice already anyhow. (Although I do miss when they were Northwest.)
