  1. i completely see what he's saying and the observation of the flight seems consistent with that but i just can't get my head around a fucking pilot mistaking the flaps control for the landing gear control. here, i've drawn it out. this is what a landing gear control lever looks like in a 787: here is what a flaps control lever looks like in a 787: shit, sorry, didn't jump to page 4 and see that someone already pointed out how insane that would be.
  2. do you ever just stop and say "damn, i am such a fucking useful idiot for parroting easily verified bullshit constantly and i should probably reflect on my decisions in life?"
  3. fwiw, the survivor stated that there was a "loud noise" that preceded the crash.
  4. sounds like a fun ride for those folks...
  5. i just don't understand how an inadvertent flap retraction occurs unless a bug in the electronics causes it in an automated way or unless the pilot is severely drunk. The controls in a 787-8 cockpit are pretty fucking clear.
  6. someone better at photoshop than me do a better one.
  7. @Bobby_Batronic, @DaysOff wouldn't the pilots had to have raised the flaps at that point in their ascent themselves? to even get to that point in the air they had to have started down, right? what the ever loving fuck?
  8. WHAT. THE. FUCK.? i don't know why someone would want to, but someone murdered deej and took over his surly handle. first brian wilson dies today, now we find out deej is clearly dead. what a dark day.
  9. I had shit going on so I tuned in late in the game and our AB in the 7th was the first I saw. Was that ump calling balls a foot and a half outside strikes both ways all night like he did to our final batter?
  10. imagine believing that telling someone to go perform cunnilingus or fellatio on their life partner is some sort of sick burn. lulz. what a fucking dork.
  11. So Martin players, have any of you installed strap buttons? Assuming I should just take it to a pro if I decide to do one but figured before I went down some rabbit hole of lunatics and nut jobs, I would ask my own collection of lovable lunatics and nut jobs if anyone would have any reluctance with having a button drilled.
  12. Miracle, more than one run in more than one inning. Thank god.
  13. Based on their team ERA, if we can’t break out of our offensive funk where we can’t score in more than one big inning a game since the Aggie series, then we just aren’t that good this year and it is time to move on to next year and hoping that schloss knows what needs to be done to add the right parts. I’d rather us go out and put up ten runs and not choke it away by packing it in in every following offensive half inning like last night and like the Tenn game. pull your heads out of your asses horns. Let’s play some ball.
  14. Enrique coaching Barca in that 2015 final with Barca felt like this even though the score wasn’t as extreme.
  15. Years and years of billion dollar club with Messi, mbappe, Neymar…choking every year. hilarious.
  16. a 6 run win is a 6 run win. hook'em. now hit the cage.
  17. i'd really like to string some hits in this inning regardless of score to get some offensive confidence going.
  18. our at bats have been making quite crazy for 5 weeks now and this game is doing nothing to help. come on, texas. 3 innings of 3 up, 3 down against houston christian. 2 more innings of 4 up 3 down thanks to a hbp and throwing error. frustrating.
  19. i feel like the thing that is being missed in all this bickering is that everton finished 6 points clear of united and 10 points clear of spurs. lulz. we also did everything we could do to get @RamjetFDO into champions league again next year but they blew it themselves.
  20. You really can't go wrong. Interlaken or Luzern as a base is ideal imo but obviously St. Moritz, Zermatt, etc... are great as well. You have a good plan. Zurich is time wasted in Switzerland. Don't sleep on Italian Switzerland. Specifically the town of Lugano is really, really great. A little mini version of Lake Como (that's like 5 minutes from actual Lake Como).
  21. i still don't like one bit of this. you're making me nervous.
  22. Really need to avoid 4, 5, or 8 so we can avoid Stanford until finals.
