I like how NFL has been nothing about betting and now this playoff game is only available on streams which are like 30-45 seconds behind the betting apps. Can't even bet on what you're watching

that's a really good point

again the plug itself isn't the problem...it was used on the Next Gens. it's not new.

the problem is that the last person(s) who touched this didn't do a good job and whoever was supposed to check their work hosed up too.

if Boeing really thought it would save money to have a different version of the max with no plug and it would save even a single dollar they would do it.

they're insanely cheap. they don't clean the bathrooms in the factories, they took garbage cans away from all office workers deks so they wouldn't have to pay janitors to empty them. lol, lmao

The aerospace sector in the US is deeply hosed. They’re being take over by private equity firms and, because they can’t keep the same profit margins as tech companies, their leadership is committed to stripping copper wire from their own commercial real estate to look good

The other side of it is that the aerospace sector is significantly smaller in terms of actually # companies

what’s happening to Maxar now is going to happen to the rest of the industry

I'm sure it can be done but I expect the amount of bureacratic regulation bullshit in place is so onerous that essentially, yes, it can't be done.

I'm imagining a Steam survival game where before you can build a bamboo hut to shelter from the elements on your deserted wasteland island that you must first get planning permission from several different statutory authorities and wait 6-12 months for a surveyor and environmental impact assessment.

Most boondoggles are due to owners with unrealistic expectations (wanting an underground kitchen when the sewer invert is 8 feet), or consultants failing to anticipate future problems.

Whenever my work is held up at the permit level, it's because I goofed. Very rarely there is a problem at the municipal level. If anything, I think code reviewers are a little too permissive, which can lead to future problems with the build.

We can still build retail space. We're in loving america.

Edit: Remembering a funny time a general contractor was getting up my rear end about my drawings not getting past permit, and when I called the city they said the owner didn't pay the permit fee.

a couple of months ago there was a video of a guy's car that burned down, but he was able to retrieve the Stanley cup that was in the center console cup-holder. Not only was it still intact, the drink inside was still cold. Stanley asked for it, and in return they replaced his car and gave him a new cup

that video went viral, and is considered the start of this craze
