You can do ducted fans, which is what a turbofan minus the turbine is.

It’s a bigger deal on bigger aircraft, but on mid-size narrow bodies it’s not as much of a problem. A 737, depending on the model, only has a difference of about 20-30k lbs between MTOW and MLGW and no fuel dump capability. An overweight landing isn’t really a big deal in one, just a quick maintenance inspection. Closing the gap so MTOW and MLGW are equal is doable. It’s hard to overstate how huge of an expense fuel is to an airline, if they have to lose some passengers and cargo they would absolutely do it if it got rid of the fuel expense.

Of course all that is contingent on having batteries with enough energy density to get somewhere close to current MTOWs while having something of a useful range.

The same way we make bigger aircraft with higher landing weights: beefier landing gear and structural reinforcement. Airliners don’t have a lower max landing weight than takeoff because they have to, they do it because it’s cheaper and more efficient. Add some more structural weight and you lose some payload, but if the efficiency gains from fuel cost savings make it worthwhile, then manufacturers will make them.

I believe they’re doing separate queues per country, so that matters too

I’ve been pretty happy with Migadu they charge by volume instead of by address/domain and give you all the administrative controls for your domains. Other than that, no fluff, it does email, it’s not advertised but they’ll do caldav for calendar too.

What’s wrong with banks’ mobile sites?

And the latch to close it has a really satisfying kerthunk

Porcupine sitting in a tree

To be fair, that has been exactly Microsoft’s energy for a few years now

To be fair, has IACRA ever really worked? I think by time, half my ATP oral was spent on fixing my AME’s name in IACRA.

At least the dictionary still lists the real meaning as valid.

Decimate means 1/10th destroyed, lost, whatever. I don’t care that the dictionary says that meaning is obsolete. I get that the meaning of words changes over time, but it has the prefix deci. 1/10th. You don’t get to decide something that starts with 1/10th means near total even if it’s a scary sounding word.

This is my anthill and I’m dying here.

The unrealistic part is management admitting to a mistake

Haven’t bought an EA game since Mass Effect 3 where the day one DLC caused the DRM to block the game from launching and tech support just gave up and hung up after their script failed to fix. Downloaded a crack for my fully bought and paid for game and fixed it myself in 5 minutes. Screw them, their games are shovelware anyway.

Pineapple juice. I went to a party in college that had some sort of unholy concoction of jungle juice with a bunch of cheap pineapple juice powder to mask how terrible it was. Completely ruined pineapple juice forever.

It’s a standard page on Hilton hotels, I think they started rolling it out about a year or two ago and most Hiltons have it now. 50/50 their internet is better than dialup anyway.

I tried to give my mom a pihole, she made me get rid of it because it broke the NY times and some rando mobile game she plays. Some people can’t be helped.

It actually works pretty well by chance more than anything else. 1000 ft is a really good altitude separation between aircraft. 500 is a good offset for irregular traffic too. Multiples of 150/300 m are more annoying to work with and 500/1000 m would waste an excessively large amount of airspace.

Idk about other brands but with Mazda you can call and get them to deactivate your car’s sim. IIRC in Subarus you can just physically unplug the communication unit.

A single pilot would need the ability to control the plane and override automation and that’s a very dangerous thing.

A single task saturated human in a stressful situation is more of a liability than a benefit. A single pilot can fixate on problems and try to solve them, even if they’ve totally misidentified the situation. Add another set of eyes and you naturally slow things down and handle situations better. The Air France crash in ’09 is a decent example of how one person can totally misinterpret a problem and then the remedy caused a crash, the other crew members were able to figure out what was happening, but it was too late to recover. More crew are an additional chance of success.

Then there’s the whole one pilot is a single point of failure problem. An incapacitated pilot is a fairly straightforward problem, but what about a '15 Germanwings type of situation where the pilot tries to intentionally crash?
