Shouldn’t the RAT automatically deploy with a power loss? Can the APU be turned on if there’s a total power loss?

I imagine with four minutes and already at task saturation they may have just forgotten to deploy the gear. I also wonder if they had a single engine when they decided to go around, and then lost power and decided to loop back to runway 19. I also wonder if they decided to keep the gear stowed until final to improve performance, then lost power and forgot to deploy the gear.

I guess some of these things we might never know, especially without the CVR

More like a Boeing

You may or may not be aware of composer Aaron Copland. You’ve probably heard his work, or something inspired by it, at some point. In fact, if you remember the 90’s (edit: in the US) you most certainly know one of his works, from the Rodeo suite. Specifically “Hoe-down”. You just associate it with a particular food

Sometimes I’m scrolling and my thumb gets lazy and goes sideways and I upvote or downvote things unintentionally.

It’s the only explanation that makes sense

Every society needs a cry like that, but only in a very few do they come out with the complete, unvarnished version, which is “Remember-The-Atrocity-Committed-Against-Us-Last-Time-That-Will-Excuse-The-Atrocity-That-We’re-About-To-Commit-Today! And So On! Hurrah!

Ya it’s in the name. Google is synonymous with tracking and lack of privacy. Just another bit we give up to live in the most advanced and free country in the civilized world, governed by it’s its citizens and not a conglomerate of corporate overlords selling our minds by inches.

Yup.

Ah, I see you also have that’s Gboard

(I literally swiped “ghosts Gboard” twice to get the advice above. Oh look, it happened again)

I’m in this picture and I love it

Can i just thank you so very much for that amazing etymology summary you just made? I can’t even grammar right now, love it!

I genuinely lol’d. Thank you

J/K, I have a pavlovian response to the phrase “victimless crime”

Same. I have had particularly poor results on image searches from duckduckgo. It’s on par or superior to Google for general web searches, but man, Google image search is still better

There’s a German style brewery in Columbus, Ohio that sells black shirts with red block lettering that say “Helles Real” and I think it’s the best thing ever

This song is really silly but i feel like it’s the quintessential Midwestern road trip in song form

Be warned, it’s folk music, which means it’s catchy, in it’s own way

I have a friend that works with a rescue group in Colorado, almost exclusively for cattle dogs. They rescue and re-home the dogs for a variety of reasons. The most prevalent is the dog can’t work anymore and will be put down. That’s it. It got too old and is consuming resources without producing.

I’m not saying all farmers and ranchers are like this, but the mentality certainly exists. These people see certain life as a commodity only, and it often extends to cruelty to “lower life”. It’s even at the root of calling people who aren’t in their tribe “lower life”, and devaluing them accordingly
