Back in 2018 there was a crash in Canada involving a failed TT strap, so Transport Canada issued an AD about that particular manufacturer’s TT straps. The FAA put out a similar AD in September 2024. A failed TT strap will cause a rotor separation. I imagine that’ll be one of the first things they look at.

I can never quite grasp how he’s using his right hand in this photo. Why is he holding his sunglasses with the inside of his thumb and his ring finger? It seems so unnatural, like the way someone with impaired motor control would use their hand.

Ya. You see it a lot at maintenance bases for larger aircraft. A hangar large enough for the tail is often not feasible or practical, so they have a perfect tail shaped hole in the doors. You’ll see it a lot for 747/A380/C5 maintenance hangars.

We just swap who flies each leg, I’ll do one, the other pilot will do the next, and so on. Seniority really doesn’t play into it at all. Usually we don’t leave the flight deck to deal with emergencies, we rely on the cabin crew for that.

I’m not sure I’d jump straight to “dumbass”. Orlando is a giant concrete jungle where basically everything looks the same. I can definitely see how a mistake could be made, however there is inevitably going to be some other factors that led to it. Maybe fatigue, maybe distractions, maybe shitty pilots, but we don’t really know yet.

A lot of it is likely on consignment, especially distributors and liquor stores, so the distiller doesn’t get paid for it until it’s sold. So it can either sit in a warehouse or the distiller can take it back, it’s their choice. In cases where it isn’t on consignment, warehousing it rather than selling what you’re already paid for at least ensures that the distiller is impacted by the entire duration of the tariff, as people can’t still buy their product for a while while it lasts and then the seller just immediately resupplies when the tariff is over. Storing it means when the tariff is over there’s still a supply to sell before they purchase more from the distiller. This would be the situation for bars and such, but it’s a big liability sitting on their books, so I imagine most will probably sell their remaining stock, which I can understand.

The Canadian products will be more expensive too. If the tariffs increase demand for Canadian products, and the price of American products is higher, it will drive the price of the Canadian products up. Ideally not by much, but they will go up.

However, I will happily suffer through price increases if it means my country is standing up to this shithead.

Canada has quite a lot we can ship to Europe if you don’t want American LNG.

Lol, I thought the same. Ketchup and All Dressed are the two best flavours of chips, both are Canadian.

That is wildly incorrect and ignorant.

It was a Mexican registered jet, so I assume the pilots were Mexican. I’m willing to bet that’s where him and his band of racist idiots will direct their blame.

I know, it’s super annoying. That’s why I stopped shitting in most urinals.

I eat a steady diet of government cheese, and live in a van down by the river.

That’s kind of disappointing.

I would also like to know.

I have seen a lot of homeless in downtown Toronto who have a cart or backpack of belongings, and sleep directly on the subway vents with no tent. I get what the other guy is asking, I also don’t see how these metal silhouettes are going to stop someone sleeping on that grate.

The issue with keeping your emergency fund in an index fund is that the odds of your own personal crisis coinciding with a more widespread crisis is high. I got furloughed in April 2020. Had my emergency fund been in index funds, I would have had to realize all those market losses in order to use my emergency fund, which would have meant my emergency fund would have been a fraction of what it actually was since it was in a savings account.

Dude, so dark… I love it.

Guys, I found Jeff!

Anyone who has ever dipped their toe in aviation knows the overspend warning never stops. Best to just have it deactivated entirely.
