2nd: At some point automakers are gonna have to start thinking about reducing the complexity of their cars and actually giving a damn about making them easier to repair.  It’s unsustainable both economically and environmentally to make cars increasingly more expensive and difficult to repair every year.

It’s an often used picture and I’m going to guess some tweaking was done with the coloring to really bring out the color differences, like a photo of the northern lights versus how they look to the naked eye, but even so, it wouldn’t be possible if that blotchy makeup wasn’t there to begin with. 

Still, ATC did not make a mistake. This was most likely down to the UH-60 pilot looking at the wrong aircraft.

Yep. And I know it’s early, but from listening to the ATC recordings it really does sound like the helicopter fucked up and failed to pass behind the plane as instructed by ATC. I didn’t catch any error by ATC, especially since at that location they’re probably under fairly intense pressure not to stop military…

This SPECIFIC incident has nothing to do with Trump. Not even things he did the first time around, except insofar as ALL recent presidents have underfunded the FAA and ATC.

Came here to write this. The implications in the headlines are absurd. Yes, his actions will probably make an ATC staffing crisis worse, but be honest, and don’t try to connect a dot that isn’t there. This is peak clickbait trolling.

Of course, we’ll have to wait until the full report comes out but I’m 99.99% certain it will have nothing to do with policy or staffing changes that took place 10 days prior.

Maybe add night vision training to the mix?

Your headline is disingenuous. It implies that Trump’s decision had something to do with the crash. It’s as bad as the Douchebag in Chief® implying that DEI initiatives had something to do with it.

Preliminary analysis of ATC audio indicates that the UH-60 flight crew may have been looking at the wrong aircraft when…

This is a nonsense article. Trump fired an advisory committee which has absolutely nothing to do with the day-to-day operations of the air traffic controllers. And the air traffic control system has been understaffed, due to an inability to find a sufficient number of new employees (like a great number of other…

Also like how is their electric system, while I have never been anytime I have seen something shot there it looks like a giant rats nest of cables. I don’t know if I trust THIS when charging my rickshaw

These smart little people movers have the potential to make navigating crowded Indian streets cleaner, safer, and more comfortable, but if they are going to catch on they need to be affordable.

I was pleasantly surprised that despite there being a couple thousand passengers and crew on the ship it never really felt crowded, especially after learning to not going to eat during prime dining times. The ships are designed to hide the crowds. We had done Disneyland for a couple days before the cruise with my GF…

It’s worth doing at least once. I’ve been on two, and the problems were minimal. First one was back when Swine Flu broke out and Obama banned travel to Mexico, so we couldn’t get off the ship and spent a day at sea. Second one was a couple years ago, took the GF and her kids since they’d never been on one, oldest kid…

$47K for treating the flu, and Norwegian saying that is normal pricing for this kind of service?  Yet another reason not to travel on a floating petri dish.

Same with the NoVA/DC suburbs.  And they work so well there with massive park and rides at the access roads, bus hubs, employer shuttle buses, and parking garages - all ways to leave the car behind at the freeway you no longer need to drive on.  

Years ago, I was looking to go to UCLA for grad school.  I have extended family in Anaheim so I was staying with them.  I think it was around 40 miles one way.  This was my first solo trip to LA and my first time driving there.  I remember my interview, tour, and meetings started at 10AM.  My family told me to leave…

Chicago has train tracks and stations that run right down the middle of the Dan Ryan expressway that do effectively the same thing.

Biggest mistake I made in LA was booking a hotel room 20 miles away from where I needed to be figuring it was like home and it would take me ~20 minutes to get there...

I like Kia (and Hyundai’s) current design language. Yeah, it kinda seems like something out of Minecraft designed on an 8-bit system, but I like the hard angles and complex shapes they’ve managed to put on what would otherwise be boring commuter cars. Looking forward to this!
