@MadeiraCalm They kind of have a solution, there are "skis" you can install on the nose gear of the C-130, used when landing on snow/ice. Just need to pack a set of those along for sand now....
@TheRevengeDavid@IAPonomarenko Yes. Mars is a 2-3 year round trip that you can only embark on about every 2 years. The longest a human has been in space so far is 14 months. Mars is also not zero-g, it's low-g, which humans have only experienced for a few days. We need to learn a LOT more before we go.
@PetitCerf@skrossa@dieworkwear Ummmm, yes? Wtf is wrong with responsible breeding? Were those jackals being farmed for fur? No. They were placed in loving homes or conservation programs. Wtf is wrong with you. You're living in some fantasy universe.
@erensabiter@skrossa@PetitCerf@dieworkwear This is a ridiculously unrealistic "take" and you should be ashamed to be continuing to cast stones. You and people like you cost her life and cost her little girl her mother. Grow up and try to actually accomplish something with your life, you'll learn what it takes.
@Sportsfanbobby@flynnstone We don't really know if everyone you see there was seated and had their things put away before they were evacuated. We do know that in an emergency your brain just does things on "autopilot", whether it makes sense or not. Would be rough to punish for simply being human.
@rtayloracton@jonostrower Greed? What was their motivation for voluntarily renewing their existing contracts at their old pay rates multiple times, then? Boeing corporate said they needed their workers to “sacrifice” due to “hard times”, and so the workers did. Over and over again.
The proposed change to blocking is going to get people killed. Anyone dealing with a stalker or an abuser is going to be in much greater danger with this change. For your daughters, please don’t do it. @X@elonmusk
@ghostlycorvid That’s NOT how blocking works on any social media site I know of, and this change is DANGEROUS for anyone who is dealing with a stalker or abuser.
@justsumyungguy @asdf53456243 @MachinistsUnion@IAM751 That’s not even close to accurate. If an employer enters negotiations with a dishonest purpose, fails to perform duties (like starting the program) in a trustworthy manner, enters an agreement with no intent to fulfill it, or violates basic standards of honesty, it’s bad faith.
@justsumyungguy @asdf53456243 @MachinistsUnion@IAM751 Or, making a “promise” of future jobs in the area but only if the program starts in the next 4 years (when you’ve publicly said no new programs until 2035), which coincidentally means you can use it as leverage again at the NEXT negotiation…
@justsumyungguy @asdf53456243 @MachinistsUnion@IAM751 ULP example: “Refusing to bargain in good faith” <- you mean like headlining a “25% pay raise” without mentioning it’s really only half that when you factor in the loss of bonuses?
@Noissim12 Boeing’s basically hiring fast food workers to do skilled, safety-critical technical work, and forcing experienced employees to leave just to survive.
@Noissim12 Disingenuous or just ill-informed? It’s not that they aren’t getting their bonus this year, it’s that bonuses would be taken away permanently under the new contract. The average Boeing employee gets about an 11% bonus each year, so the “25% raise” was really only ~14%
@Noissim12 So, a 14% raise (over the next 4 years) after wages were stagnant for the last 16 years. That means the wage for a given job has gone down by 40% over the last 16 years, and losing the bonuses means that right now, workers would be making EVEN LESS.
@anditssuuperBFC@KyivIndependent Are you not aware that there are people who have mobility issues? She could have a spinal cord injury. Also, she has no shoes, and you can't see the ground through the water, so if she is unsteady or if there is debris she could be injured. You think they carry her for fun?
@ELINTNews Doesn't matter if it failed because they blew it up now, or if it failed from the damage from when they blew it up months ago, or even if it failed from mis-management under the occupation... Russia is still to blame.
