This is not “firm” data, by the study’s own admission. There are many more factors to account for the downtick than this article even covers.

Every year here in Phoenix.

By that definition everything = science. I like my Gizmodo with gizmos, just sayn’

I guess some gizmos were lost in the fire.

Your quoted part is for the most part true. As someone as been in literally every 200 going in and out of PHX and most 700s and 900s I’ve been a part of bumping passengers to make weight or delaying the flight until the temperature drops. But if the chart said we could take off with 45 instead of 50 at 120 degrees the…

That’s basically correct, the benefit of chasing down hottest day at the hottest airport to meet the FAA cert criteria is not worth the few hours every few years lost. I have been flying in PHX since 1995 and I can only remember this happening 3 times for a few hours each.

Just for clarification, autopilot on aircraft has way less functionality than a Tesla, and a pilot would never be able to blame the autopilot for any incident.

Not a sped up video, it just seems so, that close to the ground. He’s in a PC-7, so about 250mph-ish.

From what I can tell that’s not true. Ecstacy up, Heroin up, Cocaine up.

Yes, but the president can’t order nuclear “first” strike by himself.

That’s a better debate, Gen “mad dog” Mattis would be wholly in charge. My opinion is we get in an out within one month, with the only boots on the ground being small strike teams then let the citizens of NK take it from there. It sounds harsh but they would be fine in the long term. The only connection after that is…

No. but a similar idea, but hopefully, better execution.

Who’s saying we should drop bombs with no long term plan? I would help them at the drop of a hat. I’m not sure why my kids have to help.

-2 weeks of precision strikes at key military targets.

An estimated 60 million North Koreans have died in NK since the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea took over. Over 900,000 from starvation alone. Over 150,000 North Koreans who were outspokenly critical are in prison. Should we do nothing?

Nowhere in that article does it mention the US firing Nukes first. If the US fires first it will be conventional.

Why would we launch nukes at NK first?

Agreed, on all fronts. I think aptitude and intelligence quotients are closer than both sides would like to admit. I really do revel in a good political debate, but avoid preaching to the quire because it is boring and useless. I consider myself conservative and that’s all, and I’m not really a fan of the GOP or…

Thanks, Space Ranger. Great term by the way “situational irony boner”. I agree if I’m going to use the term “mumbler” I might want to take the time to not look like one.
