Ceramic knives are really good for cleanly slicing fruit and vegetables, especially the squishier kind. If you treat them right then they'll stay razor sharp basically forever, mine is almost 10 years old and still goes through tomatoes like they're not even there. Think of the edge like it's made of glass: don't put it in a drawer with metal cutlery, use a slicing motion instead of chopping, don't use twisting or sideways scraping motions (use the back of the knife to push stuff off the cutting board).

Ceramic knives are difficult to sharpen and can only be made so sharp. They have thicker cutting edges than steel blades. But yeah they’ll hold that edge for a long time if you treat them well.

The 737 Max is garbage and is exemplifies Boeing eating its seed corn, outsourcing its core competencies while retaining all risk, so that it could Deliver Shareholder Value(tm) instead of investing in what it should have: the development and profitable sale of airplanes. And I'm right with everyone on how the merger with McDonnell-Douglas turned out to be a disaster. I just think it's weird that pilots flew two perfectly flyable airplanes straight into the ocean from cruise altitude, that Airbus's design philosophies and marketing were direct contributors to those disasters, and that never seems to get any attention.

And I'm right with everyone on how the merger with McDonnell-Douglas turned out to be a disaster. Did either of those investigations discover that Airbus had intentionally defrauded the FAA? Also those were huge deals when they happened, 15 and 10 years ago. Max is in more recent memory at 5-6 years old.

I'm struggling to think of an airbus accident that wasn't caused by pilot error or not understanding basic flight - Like there's been issues where the fly by wire systems or flight laws have been turned off by the autopilot because the plane detects an issue or something too inconsistent with reality for it to recover from and it sets it to full manual, but then the pilots freak out and decide that they don't understand how a stall works and point the plane upwards at 45 degrees to try and climb out of it rather than nosing down to bring the control surfaces back into function. Meanwhile Boeing repeatedly has things like plane batteries catching fire mid flight, the infamous "intentionally designed to kill people" 737 max, the current issue with windows exploding on flights and resulting in planes with literally 20 times the fatality rate of even the previous generation Boeing airliners.

Drone_Fragger posted:I'm struggling to think of an airbus accident that wasn't caused by pilot error or not understanding basic flight That's a cop-out, it's the corporate tendency to put all the blame on the pilots. Airbus specifically told airlines and pilots in its training manuals that pilots don't need to practice stall recovery because their aircraft won't allow a stall. Airbus specifically designed a UI that prevents one pilot from having any feedback about what the other pilot is doing with his control stick. If one of them is pushing full forwards and the other pilot is pulling full aft, neither of them will have any indication what the other is doing and the FCS will just take those conflicting inputs and do something with them that neither pilot is aware of. Airbus specifically designed stall alarms that stopped at exceedingly high AoA and then started against at lower AoA. Blaming those crashes on nothing but pilot error is like saying "MCAS failure is just runaway trim, it's just pilot error because they should have just pulled the breakers."

Human error is not where the investigation ends, it’s where the investigation truly begins to understand how the elements of the system interacted to make reasonable people within a particular situation do things that appear unreasonable in hindsight. Investigations that conclude with human error are either incomplete, act as a way to reinforce social norms and reassure the public everything is actually fine, or are deflecting blame away from a broader organizational structure as a defence mechanism.

A fireman's pole would be more convenient, just as fun, and safer too probably - depending on where you place it, this slide being right next to stairs is very risky. Plus it would double as a dancing pole! Firefighter's poles sound great, right up until someone leans forward to grab the pole, misses and drops head first into the floor. Or doesn't grab onto the pole hard enough and slides down too fast and snaps their ankles.

Human error can be real sometimes, like the guy who crashed trying to barrel-roll a B-52, or the guy who let his kid fly the plane and subsequently lose control of it

haveblue posted:Human error can be real sometimes, like the guy who crashed trying to barrel-roll a B-52, or the guy who let his kid fly the plane and subsequently lose control of it He wasn't trying to barrel roll it, but that aside that wasn't just human error. There were huge institutional failures that led up to that which is why that incident is a textbook example for CRM. When the guy's own commanders are trying to conceal evidence about his previous bad behavior, other crew members are refusing to fly when him, and then his own squadron commander tells him "You're so dangerous that you're not going up again unless I'm in the other seat," but they still allow him to keep flying, that's well beyond simple human error. The point isn't that human error isn't a thing, it's that "human error" is not the only thing that led to people dying. Phanatic fucked around with this message at 04:01 on Jan 7, 2024 |

Sometimes the engineering fixes remain out of economic reach.
