  • Poncho(short and long sleeve) and Triple Aught Design(long and short sleeves, multiple materials and features.)

    Both companies mostly manufacture in America. Poncho makes their stuff overseas, TAD makes most of their stuff in the US. TAD is definitely more technology packed and feature rich. Poncho is simple and durable.

  • Small planes and jets are the lion's share of aircraft incidents. They aren't inspected as often(more in the case of personal planes), lack the stability of larger craft, and aren't always flown by experienced pilots. Not to mention they frequent small dirt or grass airfields instead of commercial airport tarmac.

    There are like 3-5 small aircraft crashes a day. Small aircraft crash at like 25x the rate of larger craft.

  • Jet engines are enclosed in a cowling that is designed to handle the engine coming apart. The smallest defect in a jet engine's turbine blades can mean it detaches or deforms, which then causes further damage that will be injested by the engine.

    Propellers have free access to the cabin but are subjected to far less forces than the blades of a jet engine, so their failure is less likely, even if damage is undetected.

    Do with that what you will.

  • The first place to start is making sure the motor is getting power and working backwards upstream from there to the control board and then from the control switches back to the control board. Diagnosing a control board failure is a bit more complicated.

  • You can't even trust yourself or a friend to give an accurate depiction of reality. Reality is a totality of subjective consensus.

    Science is so easily perverted by bias, that is why peer review is so important. There was a study done on saturated fats and their role in heart disease after Eisenhower had a heart attack in the 50s. The study concluded that there was a direct correlation between the amount of saturated fats and the increase in heart disease based on data gathered from 6 countries. Problem was that the study actually looked at 22 countries and they cherry-picked the 6 countries that showed that correlation and looking at all 22 countries showed no correlation. That is how saturated fats became maligned in nutritional guidelines. Best part? The scientist that did the study in the 50s was largely biased against saturated fats because he believed that cholesterol in the arteries had to be linked to fat in meat because it looked like animal fat. Real "meat makes maggots" logic, as disprovent by Redi.

    Honestly, it would be more like the 90s. We didn't have smartphones. We barely had the internet. We didn't have 24/7 news media owned by like 4 people. Granted, bullshit, rumor, and lies spread really easily because we couldn't Google anything that contradicted it; but nobody looks into anything that confirms a personal bias today anyways.

  • SSRIs and gacha games would do more to win the war than yarn balls.

    Just draw a square on the ground with some Genshin wishes and Prozac in them and the war would be over in a month.

  • Most of us are drinking out of lead cups and some of us are doing so because of people harassing others to drink from lead cups because they drink from lead cups.

    Big Lead Cup has designed marketing that takes advantage of primative psychology and biochemistry to encourage us to drink from lead cups because their profitability is directly tied to increased lead cup usage. If we don't drink from lead cups enough, they can't have a bigger boat.

    The anti-lead cup groups are reactionary to the detrimental effects of lead cup use on society and advocate for cups with less lead in them. Of course, the pro-lead cup brains are so leaded that they think themselves the same ones.

    Here I am, drinking from a lead-free cup half full of mercury thinking I am better and can see reality with a sane mind, mad as a hatter.
