Well of course if you just do a pure 1:1 comparison of numbers citizens will have higher numbers. There's more of us!

If you do per capita, however…

Yeah it's still citizens.

By a lot

I wonder if this will wind up being similar to the Überlingen midair collision. An overworked ATC worker making a simple mistake with no other fail-safes in place

That's a pretty good guess. I now believe this 100%. Everything i said before was bullshit

TCAS warnings are inhibited below 1000AGL. This collision occurred between 200 and 300' AGL.

I did not know that was the collision altitude, nor did I know TCAS was inhibited below 1000'.

See, i told you i know next to nothing about this. But that's the advantage of spouting off. The quickest way to get the right info is to say something incorrect first.

It's called Ohm's Law

I know nothing about military aircraft, and next to nothing about civilian aircraft, beyond what I've learned from Mayday! episodes and write-ups by Admiral Cloudberg. So I'm forming some strong and unjustified opinions with no actual information

I'd guess the military helicopter didn't have a TCAS transmitter on, and ATC made some small but vital error, like vectoring the helicopter at a set altitude through the approach path of the landing airplane

I suppose we'll learn more later, but i suspect the civilian aircraft followed direction correctly, did everything right, and still crashed due to ATC and Helicopter pilot error

Carrot left the mines at 16, when he couldn't grow much of a beard. His early days on the watch with Colin the Traditionalist would have required being clean shaven. By the time Cuddy joined Carrot likely was set and comfortable being clean shaven. As to why he continues to shave, you'd have to ask him (or possibly Angua)

However! That doesn't make him D'rzka any more than being human by birth would. He can properly ha'lk his g'rakha, and is, in every way that matters, a dwarf.

Lord of the Rings, Appendix A: Durin's Folk

[Female dwarves are] in voice and appearance, and in garb if they must go on a journey, so like to the dwarf-men that the eyes and ears of other peoples cannot tell them apart.

(Yes yes, JRRT waffled on this. But come on! This is good lore, let's keep it)

The real issue is not the existence of darker skinned dwarves.

The issue is beardless dwarves.

There is no canon reason why Tolkien's dwarves couldn't all be bearded like Pratchett's dwarfs, and thus it must be.

I'm not sure, I'm using documents produced by a larger org. The message I get if i try to edit the locked parts is:

The author has locked parts of this document. You can make changes only to the unlocked parts.

Btw i tried using Google docs on these Word files and the formatting broke in all kinds of terrible ways.

I know the idea here is to maintain consistent branding among the franchises. Anything sent back to the parent org needs to be in docx format, with no changes to the locked elements. If that can be done with a FOSS program, great! Local use has more leeway, but broken formatting is a nonstarter

One of the organizations I work with uses Word docs with locked fields. How does only office do with that style of chestnut?
