My father and uncle were both airline pilots, and would be sad and angry to see how badly Boeing screwed up with this cobbled together mess of a plane. The fact that almost everyone is focusing on the MCAS system instead of the inherent aerodynamic instability of the plane due to the repositioning of the wings and…

Yeah, you run the stats on it?  The 200 was the Gold Standard-- it’s several orders of magnitude safer than the MAX;  the MAX type only managed a few thousand flights with two hull losses and almost 350 fatalities.

Well, from a design perspective, yes it is.

Quite to the contrary - an older model plane that has been tried and tested, that mechanics are familiar with and pilots trust, is much safer than a plane that behaves unpredictably and is unfamiliar to those operating it. 

I mean, it probably is. How many crashes are associated with the -200s that are caused by the plane itself in the past 20 years? Vs the MAX’s?

With a background in aeronautics, control systems, safety systems and embedded real-time control systems I assure you that pretty much everything about the MCAS implementation was fatally flawed. Hopelessly fatally flawed.

How Muilenburg still has his job is beyond me. Even from a purely financial standpoint this has been a massive disaster for the company and shareholders, and then you layer on the moral failures and human lives lost and his head should have been on the block months ago. 

Edgelord profile pic, calling a grown woman “little girl”, uses long wordy sentences about society and extinction.  We’ve got an incel here amigos!

Omg gimme a fuckin’ break. This is so blown out of proportion. How silly.

That cat is 100% fine. Fuck off.
I used to legit overhand throw mine across the room and she’d come back for more of the game.
I guarantee you that cat winds up on the floor behind her giving a dirty look before sauntering off.

Look, she definitely tossed that cat a bit rougher than I would have but if you’ve ever owned a cat, you know it was just fine.

Maybe instead of being thrown into Twitch Jail, people who stream and drive need to be thrown into Real Jail?

“Arnold Schwarzenegger made plenty of shit films too, and he is clearly the model Johnson is patterning his career after.”

I recognized Jeremiah Johnson the first time I saw the Meme. Comes with the territory growing up in the 70's and 80's with a mother who used to say that Robert Redford could park his boots under her bed any ol’ time.

Bless your heart.

I don’t see SF III: 3rd Strike, Rival Schools 2, or Tech Romancer on this list, Luke. FOR SHAME.

IT seems very odd to me that anyone would look at a fighting game, on purpose or just because you happen to be a fan of it, as something to find out things about their own sexuality. It would seem to me something like a RPG or MMORPG or something that get’s you more emotionally involved in the characters and story…

What’s funny about this series is how Craig Mazin’s, the creator and writer, previous work really doesn’t add up to now.

In all honesty, it stopped being a thing for me partway through the first episode. Mazin also makes a point to discuss this very issue in the first episode of the companion podcast series.
