  1. As I understand it, they moved the engines forward with respect to the wing, so under power it tended to increase the angle of attack and therefore increase the likelihood of a stall.
  2. To be more precise they moved the engine in a way that altered how it flew enough to spawn that automated kludge to correct it which is now implicated in 2 catastrophic crashes. Is the max different from your other examples in its use of tech/automation/sensors (here I refer of course to the MCAS used as the "aerodynamic fix" that accommodated the engine change), or simply that they fucked it up (from the documentation to communication/ training, design, etc.)? Should they have just said "the max requires x hours of sim training due to higher propensity to stall resulting from the new engines and their placement " instead of designing the mcas? Edit Forgot to add that I really appreciate your contributions on this topic
  3. The whole idea of relocating the engines like that seems a bit janky for a modern passenger airplane.
  4. Last I heard they were exempted only thru August of this year.
  5. I don't know how the cattle pots are going to deal with elogs.
  6. Do we know the "add-on" would have prevented either crash?
  7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gell-Mann_amnesia_effect
  8. No link but apparently there are ~20k Cuban security forces in country, there presence may have a mitigating effect on the military taking out Maduro.
  9. thread never made it over here I guess. https://www.wacotrib.com/news/more-twin-peaks-cases-dismissed-by-special-prosecutors/article_d59fcc83-31d1-5d04-bd67-6019398a9d15.html?fbclid=IwAR2SMpMj2tUjCRemTRipDerXpbVg5m-xQLLsHJ6SM_u4TP24vraSXEPxjIE More Twin Peaks cases dismissed by special prosecutors By TOMMY WITHERSPOON twitherspoon@wacotrib.com Feb 25, 2019
  10. Before or after he got shot in the face?
  11. It's not supposed to be the same color (NMSU, aggy), maybe they don't police their licensing like they should but the shit I see in So. NM is not the same... That said this board has issues w/ our various shades of burnt orange... I have ancestors than donated acreage for the campus so close to home and shit.
  12. In case you're not trolling, and really that naive, that is twice their share of the population (2 x 12 = 24), whereas the rate for whites was about the same or less as their share... 200% is likely an understatement.
  13. Not falling for the banana in the tail pipe?
  14. This "FPI" thing had us at 17 before last season, and now has us at 26? Okay
