Trump will never love you.

ScottS is Eric? That explains a lot.

OMG!! More fake Grok stats! How will I ever sleep?

I believe these switches are behind cages.

They are toggle switches that have both side guards and a "pull to move" detent on the switch.

if this happened purely in software then that's another story

They are directly and independently connected to each engine controller. Both engines are independent of the aircraft systems.

the market now views him as a blowhard that lacks the balls to follow through

AKA, "TACO".

It's close. :-)

That's interesting and definitely something to think about.

When dealing with extremes. In a low population sample a 200% change might be 20 people.

just a difference between total numbers versus per capita.

Per capita is a fairly useless metric when trying to compare high vs low population areas. It sounds logical, but it's not.

Wow so emotional and personal of a response

I hope you can afford food, Scotty. I stocked up on striploins and ribeyes at my go-to butcher in Cowley, AB yesterday and my BC fish guy delivered sockeye fillets to my door when I got home.

and steps 2-3 steps to shake the first lady's hand.

I'm surprized she lets Lewzer get that close.

I'm going to use offsetting numbers

Is that what they call "cherry picking"?

Which stupid hat was he hiding his cancerous head with this time?

Or does MAGA dislike NPR because it does not bow down and kiss the ring of Pres Trump?

This is obviously a rhetorical question?

does Pres Trump have modicum of a clue of how interest rates work?

It won't be long before he appoints himself Chairman of the Fed, so we will find out then.

The answer will be, "no".

Why?

That would be the big question.

the switches seemed to have been moved to the cut-off position.

Yep. And then back to the run position some 10 seconds later.

Bad business in any case. They don't even train for an event like that since there ain't much you can do.

thx for the follow-up.

Voice recorder data released says one pilot asked the other why he cutoff the engines and the other pilot said he didn't.

Flight data recorder says both engines were shut down and then restarted, but there was not enough time for them to generate enough thrust to keep the plane in the air.

So, then... intentional?

Or the switches never moved in the first place, but the signals they generate did. Apparently the switches were found in the "run" position in the wreckage.

The timing is very suspicious. Both engines shut off within a second of each other just at the critical point when the plane is lifting off?

Guessing the switches are not placed in a position on the control panels or overhead switch-bays where they can be be accidentally flipped to "Off" setting.

They are guarded and have spring loaded latches to prevent accidental operation. Very unlikely to have been both shut off by accident.

This has never been explained to my satisfaction

Boo hoo.

him declaring victory every single time.

The classic admission of defeat.

Because that's called Amnesty and Republicans are against it.

Lewzer says he is going to do exactly that. But there is always the TACO factor.

Still wondering why the biden administration never released it, don't YOU?

Don't you wonder why Lewzer is lying about it not existing?

It is obvious that he is Canadian by the way he posts.

'Strewth.

"No I won't, -------!!!"
