I guess I'm searching for another Zelda:BotW. Which isn't Tears of the Kingdom.

I’m confused by this. TotK is very much just BotW but with more. The construction mechanism is really fun, the three overlapping maps are cool, it’s a good time. You get to see how the world of BotW has changed in the intervening time, and being able to make hover cycles to fly around the world is awesome.

What client are you using? Maybe that’s the issue?

Good. That poor McLaren shouldn’t have to be driven by Elon Musk.

The Boeing 737-800 is a remarkably safe plane. Bird strikes can happen to any plane.

The landing gear was up because the crew left it up. This may have been on purpose to reduce drag (the flaps were also not extended). This can be done when the plane has lost both engines and needs to glide.

Landing gear have many failsafes, the last of which is to literally let them just drop by gravity. If the landing gear were the malfunction, the plane would’ve spent more time circling.

8:58 they declare mayday because of no landing gear and two minutes later they’re attempting the riskiest landing of their lives? I bet „no landing gear” checklist is a bit longer than two minutes.

You’re right, if the mayday were due to the landing gear not being down they wouldn’t have attempted to land so quickly. There are many things they would try first, and the final failsafe simply drops the landing gear with gravity. If the gear were up, it’s because the crew left the gear up.

The mayday wasn’t about the landing gear.

The mayday was due to a bird strike. They initiated a go-around after the bird strike, and they may have also lost the second engine during the go-around. Perhaps a second bird strike. This would explain the lack of flaps and landing gear: the crew may have been trying to minimize drag to reach the runway without power. Unfortunately they ran out of runway after floating too long due to ground effect and traveling far too quickly.

The incident would likely have been survivable at many airports. That berm with the localizer antena on it is a terrible safety hazard that shouldn’t exist at a major airport.

Why the fuck would someone apologize for wearing a mask? What a dumb world we live in.

Here in the States they’re called “internment camps” so we can feel better about ourselves.

If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. It’s not 100% accurate but it’s close enough and it’s remarkably good television, one of the best series of all time IMO. It’s readily available on any number of the seven seas, and also streaming from HBO I think.

But the day after is only the second day of Christmas! There are, famously, twelve of them.

I think it’s spelled “Drumpfster”

I love my WASD. I think you pay a bit more for the customization, but I love that aspect. I made mine in orange and blue with the McLaren logo for the meta keys, and the Formula 1 logo for the F1 key. It makes me smile.
