I think the A320 series actually pressurizes slightly at takeoff and then gradually pressurizes during climb. Or at least I think that is what this Airbus publication is saying: https://safetyfirst.airbus.com/app/themes/mh_newsdesk/documents/archives/residual-cabin-pressure.pdf Certainly, 5,000 ft. ...

I might be wrong, but I think there should be some cabin-pressure differential at that altitude? It would be small, but I think it might be detectable.

Seems like it might have been a case of miscommunication between the pilots and the cabin crew, or confusion by the pilots, or the pilots misspeaking. According to the Aviation Herald, the issue was an ECAM warning that one of the over-wing exit doors wasn't sealed, which if accurate would present a...

I haven't paid much if any attention to US open-wheel racing since colossal buttwipe Tony George, a pox on his name, basically ruined the entire genre. I haven't watched an Indy 500 in decades.

https://twitter.com/mvario1/status/1795593782177788050 Officers were so convinced Thomas Perez Jr. had murdered his “missing” father, they spent 17 hours torturing him into confessing to a crime no one had actually committed. Perez Jr. initiated this. He called the police to report his father was mi...

This story is both crazy and tragic. A landslide in a remote area of Papua New Guinea basically wiped out an entire village, with more than 2,000 people unaccounted for. The slide also wiped out the road to the area, so only helicopters can get in for now. https://x.com/Allareblessed2/status/1795322...

I had a really nice intelligence-based build that was almost too powerful. Take the perks in the INT tree for the hack queue and RAM recovery, and buy cyberware that focuses on RAM recovery like RAM Upgrade and RAM Reallocator. The build comes into its own once you can queue three quickhacks on an e...

Finished up Cyberpunk. I generally like open-world games like this, and Cyberpunk is a very good example of the genre. I understand the game was rather a dumpster fire at launch, and the 2.0 patch that accompanied the Phantom Liberty DLC release revamped major aspects of the game, but I think is now...

Like I said in the fantasy thread, Monaco is the absolute worst, miserable, dogs**t track on the calendar, which as usual produced a boring, miserable, dogs**t race. It was pathetic listening to teams radioing their drivers to slow down, and I actually felt bad for David Croft and Martin Brundle as ...

Congratulations to Chase Oliver for winning the 2024 Libertarian Party presidential nomination. A sample of Chase Oliver's views: Return to an Ellis Island style of processing immigrants and create a simpler path to citizenship for immigrants who are already here. Expand both the HB1 visa and startu...

Trump got booed all to hell at a libertarian party rally. He suggested they nominate him and was met with quite the response. Who says libertarians aren’t good for anything? :lol: One of the comments on a Reddit post made me laugh: “When [Ayn] Rand fans are booing you, you've either messed up bad a...

Happy Birthday!

I assume skully will be on American Airlines 1962. Your A321 is currently over Tennessee. I don't see any weather that would have delayed it leaving Phoenix, so it might have been mechanical and not weather. I suppose you could always ask the people getting off if they were given a reason for the de...

Happy Birthday!

I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison…

Dammit, I forgot prison.

And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got run over by a damned old train

I'm almost done with Cyberpunk. I've finished the Phantom Liberty DLC, all of the fixer gigs, and pretty much all of the side missions except for the several of the ones given by Kerry Eurodyne. I have 232 hours in the game so far. Very much reminds me of a Grand Theft Auto game set in a cyberpunk f...

Bah, pop country and it's happy songs.

Country music should be about drunkenness, murder, hard times, bad times, trucks, trains, losin' your woman, and murdering people while drunk.

My question particularly relates to lying by corporations or news agencies (aka “fake news”). Do you think the government has any role in trying to curtail this so that consumers don’t get mislead (such as a company claiming something falsely to sell product or a news agency stating a falsehood, su...

Shyster, please list all unbiased news sources that we have in this country. I’ll hang up and listen. There aren't any. New organizations just represent the opinions of the people that work for them, and people are loaded with biases. But the fact that everyone has biases does not prove anything ab...

So you deny your confirmation bias? This whole pages long diatribe was built on the foundation of a logical fallacy. I take L’s a lot, it’s okay for you to take one. Unusual that you fell into a logical fallacy trap but as you know, you ruined any standing you had when you took that approach. Confi...

I’m someone who makes a living in education. I’ve taught in some of the most middling schools in front of countless average minds. I make just north of half six figures evaluating if people learn or don’t learn, so I have plenty of understanding on this and should be trusted. No one is learning any...
