I'm just assuming that they'll have to have the cockpit door closed during boarding now.

Thank gently caress the idiot didn't know any startup procedures.

He'd never have gotten aloft, but nothing stopping him from starting the engines and redlining the throttle into the damned terminal. Might be a little difficult to get into the cockpit and throttle down after the front of the airplane's been smashed in and/or crushed by debris.

Maybe planes should have keys.

Nothing fancy and expensive, just something like you'd find on a bulldozer. Every pilot could have the same proprietary key, issued by their airline.

The turbines aren't spinning while passengers are boarding or something. You can hear them switch from terminal power to turbine generator.

Oh, gently caress me, that's what that was?
I experienced that once or twice, and while I figured it was an intended mechanic at work after the initial surprise, my second thought was "how did this feature get green-lit in this state? surely, technology has advanced to the point where whatever mechanic is at work could be modified/decoupled/insulated/whatever to reduce this hilarious byproduct that'll probably gently caress with passengers' heads".

I don't think the person who wrote or narrated that knows what a dog barking or a buzzsaw sounds like. That maybe sounds like a handsaw but horrible job describing the noise. Going by the accent I'm assuming its because they never actually worked or have been near an animal in their entire life. How do you have a job that is describe something, be bad at it and not be funny.

I honestly picked that particular video simply because it was the first to be listed and it showcased the noise relatively soon after starting instead of spending five minutes :smug:ging the gently caress out about miscellany (and sponsors).

When pressed, it was excuse after excuse — it was "too early" to claim fraud, his attorney was no good, things just seem suspicious.

But it all comes back to the same place: He has no evidence of widespread fraud that caused him to lose the election.

The tone of the interview changed. Trump then hurried off the phone, as he was starting to be asked about the attack on the Capitol, inspired by election lies.

A judge is considering whether Trump can be held liable for his actions in court.

If he can be, then Trump or his lawyers would someday have to answer the questions he didn't answer before he cut short his conversation with NPR.

My general hot take is that the Guard should be used for all this kind of poo poo right now. Flood the hospitals, school administration (non-teaching), testing sites, and so on with Guard. Assign them to society-benefitting poo poo instead of bullshit border patrol nonsense. It'll be the most morally-good assignment they potentially ever get.
