Mods please change my name to "Tooter Skeleton" TIA.



this article is actually a good read even if the main thrust of it is kind of "if you don't train people to do poo poo and they just rely on machines, they're hosed when the machines fail", the stuff about town planning is good though. basically if you make things consciously "risky" people pay more attention and so the risk actually goes down.

anyway, the story with the air france flight that starts it is loving nuts, even if the plane is fly by wire who the gently caress did nobody go "hmmm you know what the manual instruments are telling me im pulling up and air speed is dropping, maybe i should not keep doing that while the plane is shouting STALL STALL STALL". like it was a total clusterfuck of human factors, not just "pilots can't fly planes anymore".

chilean rose / rosehair

apparently they're the new standard for "starter" spiders because they're very low maintenance and docile. she's never given me a threat display or anything.

do you or any other yosposters have spider pals?

the space jambs bond plotline is pretty cool i think, all cloak-and-daggers like

also you're mind-controlled throughout the second chapter which is p. novel and makes for a very cathartic finale

i don't fuckin understand people who get scared of airplanes doing bouncy poo poo

there are two possible outcomes
1) the pilots know what they're doing, everything is fine, there is no damage or danger, just a unique experience you rarely get to have
2) something goes drastically wrong and the plane crashes, you are killed instantly and never know it

seeing as you have zero control over the situation, being anxious doesn't benefit you in the slightest. just sit back and enjoy it ffs

My cow-orker told me about how after his wedding in Japan they went to the ceremony and, as is traditional in Japan, had an after-party after that at a bar down the street so that the older family could go home and the younger crowd could party. From there, they had another after-party upstairs at the karaoke club and someone went up to sing this, in full sincerity (his wife is named Linda):
