    did anyone else from the USA grow up being forced to say the pledge to the flag in school?
  • Also Gen X (1971) and while I remember it in first grade (so this would have been around 1976-77) I don't think it continued much past 1st grade. MAYBE 2nd. So I lucked out there I suppose. I cannot imagine getting indoctrinated by JBS though. I'm sure it would have gone down well in a lot of the midwest where I grew up, but I suppose I also lucked out there in that the school board and staff were pretty apolitical when it came to school structure.

  • Yeah, it should have been a A level criticality -- functionally impossible to relay bad information, tri mode redundancy, shut down if it detects itself in error, etc.

  • Boeing plane crash: Coroner rules Britons unlawfully killed
  • I don't know if it's technical detail translating poorly into journalism, but from reading up on it, I don't believe it was just a sensor deploying at the wrong time. It was a sensor providing flight stability critical information with no tri-mode redundancy built in (sold secondarily as a "safety mechanism" reporting incorrectly, causing MCAS to react fatally.

    I think that "sensor with no redundancy" is a pretty important fact.

    Flogging a book so it's hard to know, but there's been other verified quotes about his daughter so this claim is plausible.
