I will waste an inordinate amount of time to hunt down anyone who has killed me multiple times from a position. It’s more satisfying sometimes than just beating them with overall score. If I can do both…fuck yes.

Which country is Block Island south of Hawaii?

Got a source for that?

Because you can grow plants just fine in hydroponics. Plastic trays. Plastic tubing. Nutrient mixture. Plastic everywhere.

I think plants would grow just fine in plastic given the correct nutrients.

Right? I remember a couple decades ago when things just started opening up for lgbtq people that scientists studying sexuality gave estimates that 1:10 people were likely not going to fit the hetero “norm”.

Looks like they nailed it.

I really don’t think we hold any industry to the superhuman standards we hold aviation to.

The only other industry that individuals entrust their lives to in large numbers that I can think of is the medical industry, and that kills around 100k people a year, yet people don’t quit seeking treatment en masse (problems with US medical system access and affordability aside).

Pilots are tested at least yearly with simulators dealing with emergencies of all sorts, from fires to engine failures, education and reviews of aircraft systems and aviation regulations, along with medical examinations and random drug testing to continually check fitness for flight. Cabin crew also see yearly testing dealing with emergencies, medical or things like fires in the cabin, evacuations, along with training on how to deal with passengers who may be drunk or a threat in some way.

The best time to fly is after incidents. Everyone is on high alert, training departments and unions remind crews to take extra care in their duties, all crews are aware of extra scrutiny.
