Geostationary orbit is waaaaay high.

Agreed, reading this summoned the SpongeBob narrator in my mind.

I’m a geek, always around computers, gaming, tinkering, etc.

Once I moved for work, to Spain, didn’t know the language. My laptop broke, like, when opening it, the plastic was fatigued and the screen just bent.

I was broke, expensive training… Couldn’t replace it before a few months.

So I went to the bar of the inn I was starting at. And just, tried to pick up some words.

Long story short, after a while I knew everyone in town, had many friends, and after work, laptop or not, I would go to the bar. I got fluent in Spanish too.

Happiest time of my life. I don’t think my mental health has ever been as good as back then.

Exactly. I flew the 777 for a living. It’s a tank. Extremely reliable, flies like a dream, plenty of power. I haven’t flown the new generation 777 though and you can bet it’s not as safe. Nothing Boeing makes now is.

I used to be a “if it’s not Boeing I’m not going” pilot. I feel stupid now.

Airlines suffer the exact same problem. Greed. Boeing doesn’t make the engines. GE does (or Pratt and Whitney). They are very reliable engines too. If they start failing in a specific airline, it’s a maintenance problem.

Edit: also as comments started, this could be nothing but normal issues, haven’t read the article. I stopped reading at “engine issues, including tyre falling off…” What??

Is this… clean code ? 💁‍♂️ 🦋

There’s a guy, Isaac Newton, he’s 57. Ask him about his second third law, hopefully he came up with it already.

I steer gigantic metal birds pulled by armies of horses carrying dozens of people, to the antipodes… in less than one day… using dead animal juice.
