In addition, with our current grid (and many of the things that run on it), frequency is incredibly important. Having giant, heavy, spinny things with lots of inertia does wonders for naturally maintaining a very constant grid frequency as loads fluctuate.

While I fully agree this doesn’t solve any affordability concerns, for those with no affordability concerns that $200/month is better served in a portfolio, which will inevitably have a higher return than a secured interest rate. This does help, but it only helps people with no issues with affording a home in the first place, and can use the system to make further gains (albeit fairly minor).
Most of the airports that private jets fly in and out of do have a tower. Also, there’s a lot of ground holds recently due to en route controller shortages which limits how much traffic can be in the air, which of course affects private jets as well.
Judging by his fingernails being so dirty, I’m guessing he’s a tradesperson. Tradespeople tend to damage/chip/break nails. As for the odd thumb position, I’m guessing he initially was holding it looking at the back, and turned his hand to show the front a bit for the photo, leading to the awkward thumb position.
It says “nutrition”, but the quality of the photo makes the dot of the i’s blend to the body. But there are only three vertical lines (representing “iti”).
The 737 won’t fly an RA on autopilot. We have to disconnect the autopilot and auto throttle and hand fly it. There’ll be a red box on the PFD that we just keep the pitch outside of, and we’ll be fine.
TCAS warnings initially come up about 90 seconds before a potential collision, and a resolution advisory comes up about 60 seconds before a collision. A resolution advisory is obviously a serious situation, but it’s early enough that the climb or descent commands are really not anything crazy, not anything outside a normal climb or descent. No one should be hitting the ceiling if a tcas resolution is flown properly.
Maybe we’re all being so pessimistic. Maybe all that money is going towards proper climate control and plumbing, proper kitchen facilities, and proper hygiene facilities. Maybe they learned from Alligator Auschwitz, right? …right?
$46 400 per bed to build this camp. The motivations are clearly not to benefit the average taxpayer. They’ll gleefully spend hundreds of millions to treat humans like garbage.
Obscuring your DOT number is illegal. I’m sure the police will definitely enforce that rule in this instance…
Kiedis was 20 when the band was formed, so if they were touring when this story took place he must have been well into his 20’s, banging a junior high school girl.
