If that’s the case, a luxury of convenience, then fast food was and still is a luxury. Or maybe fast food was an $affordable luxury of convenience and now it is an $$$expensive luxury of convenience. Ok, that makes sense to me.

Fast food isn’t a luxury. A luxury is something extravagant, high quality, and highly enjoyable. Fast food is simply an overpriced disappointment.

My problem is I always forget to listen to the in-flight announcements so I never figure out how to put my seatbelt on.

Just like Kyle to slack off when a world record is on the line. Thanks, Kyle!

I just woke up and read the headline as “highly photogenic bird flu”

So “A” evolved from cattle. Must of been from the Angus breed.

From the looks of the picture, Joost has no idea why he’s disqualified.

I have nothing to contribute to this conversation. Just wanted to say that was a horribly written article.

We tested Comac parts for FAA certification. When you’ve tested parts for decades you can pretty much nail down the cause of the failure be it design, process, materials, a combination and so forth.

Also the c919 is only certified in China. It can’t fly in the US or Europe.

There is more that goes into an airplane than the people maintaining or assembling it, which can and does go afoul. There is the entire manufacturing process, how materials are sourced, processed, refined, machined/formed, heat treated, stress relieved, coated/plated, assembled, and the list goes on. That is a major factor why aircraft are so safe and if you think China’s material and process controls are as rigorous as someone like Boeing or Airbus, it isn’t. It has taken decades of actual aircraft manufacturing to get the formula right for those respective companies and they continue to evolve as time goes on and new information is learned.

Do we really need to politicize this? It was a scientific study performed in the UK.

I was lead to believe we would get Ant Man.

Might find your answer here around the 50,000 year mark.

The article does lack any conversion to Olympic swimming pools, bananas, or infinity stones so some of us may never truly grasp the scale of this power.

It would have the equivalent power of 1.3 million horses kicking a hole in the fabric of reality.

Finally explained in terms I can understand!

Also, whoever made this - it’s awesome!

What is this? A star ship bridge for ants?!

Clever and I get the joke and it made me smile. If I recall my biology from 20 years ago I think the cell makes duplicates of its chromosomes then splits apart. So you have two cells inside one membrane that separates, 2 / 1 = 2. The way I first thought about it was one cell splitting in half, so half goes to one cell, the other half with the other, 1 / .5 = 2.

In short, I think the math works out fine, but the language you use to describe it can lead to comedy gold. You could say cells reproduce by division? I don’t know, I’m not a biologist or mathematician. I’m a toilet poster.

If you think “loading the dishwasher” means getting your wife drunk, you might be a redneck.
