Was there anything ejected out into the fuselage? Looks like it was going the right direction to smash up the side of the plane.

My grandfather taught me how to tell gas from diesel:

"Pour it on the shop floor and throw a match at it. If it explodes, that wasn't diesel."

Doesnt seem so, or at least nothing the passengers noticed.

same engine type had a similar failure on an Egyptian flight a month ago. Seems that the cowling failed structurally and then was ingested

I was going to say "oh this avocado thing is just like 'bagel injury'/'Bagel-Related Injury (BRI)'" but then:

Pigsfeet on Rye posted:

It seems that this kind of injury is becoming so frequent that ER personnel are referring to it as "avocado hand".
that phrase has 1000x more Google search results.

Maybe the thing is that people who are prone to BRI all got themselves "bagel slicers" so the problem has gone away?

Woman fails to die in the fire despite being trapped by the alarm, is therefore suspected of witchcraft, and is then thrown off a cliff to see if she is in fact a witch.

The building is also holding up the runway.

Do you like fireballs downtown?

There is talk of circular runways but no one takes it seriously as it is pretty dumb with all sorts of issues. Also LOL at using GPS is your solo means of navigation as a way to mitigate the issue with such a system.

More fireballs for everyone!

Pretty sure in that model it's not a circular runway - the runways are straight-through (you use whichever one is oriented appropriately for the wind direction), and the outer ring is a taxiway.

Not talking about that model. It was something that was reported recently.

http://www.bbc.com/news/av/magazine-39284294/think-again-will-circular-runways-ever-take-off

There was a follow up to the article with people asking about the risks of the runway but they all asked the wrong questions, but that was because the BBC being idiots asked a bunch of lay people who knew less than zero.

Are torx screws a thing in the states? Because those are obviously the best.

Even when you do they sometimes get hosed up. Its just the way the force is applied to the screw head.



Like I said its not as much of an issue with the bigger sizes. Torx screws are god-like.

The bonus of having access to cheap torx bits is you can hammer the next size up into a striped hex head to get it out.

yes they are a major thing now. impact drivers and star/torx screws are used in carpentry a loving ton. around here they're used the way nailguns used to be for framing.

philips still reigns for drywall, everything else is going to the torx way

Back when I did set set construction it's all we used. We could reclaim like 99% of them when we'd strike a set. It is the most freaking cost saving thing to only have to buy screws like every three years.

That's just the way he rolls.
At first I was hesitant to use torx over hex bolts, I always felt I was gonna snap the teeth off the torx bit, but with the amount of times I've had to deal with the aftermath of someone using a steel hex key on a aluminium hex bolt, I'd rather have a box of spare torx's.

I used to work for an online toy retailer. Black friday to Christmas was mandatory no time off with frequent 12+ hr days. We had a dumb as gently caress coworker who would drink 3+ of those during his shift, only occasionally having issues where he starts cold sweating and complaining of chest pains as his heart races, he would end up going home early.

Dumbfuck also kept ordering stir fry from a nearby chinese place... he had seafood allergies and had breathing issues multiple times because of it.

They definitely do their job at protecting your hand, yeah. If you're doing a large amount of low-skill cutting (like say, quartering an entire case of apples) they pretty much ensure you will never get hurt. They're just a little clumsy to wear.
