All models are wrong, some are useful

A sunset on Saipan

Took this shot from an overlook on the southeastern tip of Oahu looking North.

#[0]​ and #[1]​ y’all PFPs look so dam similar I get confused.

Fuck the corps, the US MIC is probably the largest polluter on the planet.

Time is the most scarce asset we have; why spend it with assholes?

When I was a bit younger I did the same #[1]​, and I had the illusion of friendship with many such vampires. One day you wake up and realize that if you were down, sick with cancer, lost your job, went to jail, lost your house, 90% of the people in your life that you call “friends” wouldn’t show up for you even for a day.

Spend your time loving the people that love and uplift you, you’ll be much happier at the end of it all knowing you spent your most scarce resource on the right people.

Just to clarify, most of these reports are related to ground maintenance between flights and not necessarily airframe inspection; still makes you wonder though.

Wow, ironic that my favorite pickles respond to my post about my favorite olives. Bubbies are the bomb, recently I’ve really been digging the spicy ones.

Thanks for the tip, will buy the non-pitted ones next time.

Most commercial aircraft structures are made out of aluminum. When aluminum is put under cyclic load it will eventually fatigue and develop cracks that can lead to catastrophic failures. Regular inspections are supposed to be conducted on commercial aluminum aircraft to ensure they are flight worthy, but there are regularly whistleblowers who say some airlines pressure them to do minimal maintenance on the aircraft so they can get it back in the air making money. Whenever a commercial plane goes down unexpectedly, pilot error is usually what’s blamed (probably for liability reasons) but I wonder what percentage are actually due to inadequate inspection/maintenance.

Hands down the best green olives I’ve ever had. Buttery smooth, soft, and delicious; not harsh or excessively sharp #foodstr

#[0]​ is relatively new to Nostr and just setup his lightning wallet. He’s a really nice guy, so show him some love and zap him some Sats. ⚡️
