Clout enhancement clause

Pilots are already overloaded so we can probably overload them a little more?

If gun owners are being denied health care or being told who they can marry ("it's illegal to marry a fellow gun owner"), then yes, they'll probably want to avoid anyone wretched enough to advocate that.

Short of that, it's NBD right? Not really comparable.

It's absolutely comparable. They both involve limiting rights and freedoms.

Unnecessarily strong? 2kW of solar weighs about the same as one roofer.

If your roof can't hold up solar, it also can't hold up the people that need to work on it.

To eat the world, first you must eat social media.

And you're saying that their guy was Ford? Or Carter? That's what the CIA wanted?

You're going to have to explain more.

Coal plants are dead, partly due to the fly ash. I'm not sure you want to put nuclear in the same boat?

I'm not doing so. I'm pointing out that coal plants were allowed to produce more radiation than nuclear plants were allowed to out of fear of that radiation. Because the public is ill-informed about what "radiation" actually is.

I'm broadly supportive of nuclear fission, but I completely understand more nervousness of it than coal, particularly in the days before we cared much about climate change or industrial pollution. the worry about nuclear isn't low-level day to day pollution, it's disasters. coal disasters are essentially local incidents, and while they can have a big impact politically (f.e., Aberfan), they don't strike fear into people's hearts on a national or international level because the only people at risk to a disaster live very near a coal plant. when Chernobyl surged, half of Europe was affected. yes coal plants can have fallout too, but it's nowhere near as dangerous, even if the standard pollution is worse over time

coal plants were allowed to produce more radiation than nuclear plants because nuclear plants are nuclear plants and radiation management is an intrinsic part of the process. although they undoubtedly should have been, no one was paying attention to coal plants' radiation output, because they were invented before radiation was even discovered, and it's just not the star of the show there, nor is it the first consideration people have when considering coal pollution

Smaller pools are slower.

Then he would have asked the other pilot why the engines are shutting down. It seems a lot more probable that he glanced at the switches before asking such an explicit question.

Without listening to the CVR audio and knowing what they actually said, there's no evidence either way, and AFAIK they have not released that.

From the preliminary report, quote: "In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so."

I'm trying to understand your complaint here... you think you need to hear their voices with your own ears to believe it?

At one point, Firefox (3.5 specifically) was #1, for a brief moment:

> Between mid-December 2009 and February 2010, Firefox 3.5 was the most popular browser (when counting individual browser versions) according to StatCounter, and as of February 2010 was one of the top 3 browser versions according to Net Applications. Both milestones involved passing Internet Explorer 7, which previously held the No. 1 and No. 3 spots in popularity according to StatCounter and Net Applications, respectively - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_3.5

Then Chrome appeared and flattened both IE and Firefox.

lol, and I used neither. Opera all the way until...

Millions of people use it. What's the latest usage number? 5% or something?

There's 5 billion people on the internet. 5% of that is 250 million.

Some companies would kill for user numbers like that. Hell, some would slaughter entire villages.

Define taking off then. Everyone knows Firefox and some people even like it
