I get how hard it is to cut down on airline emissions. But the strict requirements on budget has significantly improved that number over the past few decades. Aircraft engines today are much less polluting than they were 30 or 50 years ago. Perhaps the goals shouldn't be dropped so easily.

What scares me about this is how lightly climate change is taken. "Yeah, I don't think we can do it. So we're going to just stop trying". Do you even realize what sort of trouble the humanity and this planet is in? Especially for a country dominated by its coastline?

Whenever I see people promoting 'hustle culture' on TV, social media or books, I feel a strong urge to crush their skull with a big wrench. They are predators out to make money by fueling the insecurity of regular people.

They used to advertise Linux.

You don't need to mention them by name.

I have heard this tape. While it's distressing, it's something worth hearing. Not because it's pleasant to listen to people die. But because it's worth remembering their pain so that those mistakes are never repeated again.

Remember that the engineers, technicians and other support staff of Apollo 1 didn't have the option of turning off the audio either (I listened to it to partially feel what they felt). They worked feverishly to save their colleagues who were burning to death only a few inches away from them. And to finally reach them to find out that it was all in vain.

This would have been a horrifyingly painful experience for NASA. And it did have an impact. NASA changed in an instant. No effort was spared in keeping the future astronauts safe. So much so that a deeply crippled Apollo 13 still made it back safely. And no lives were ever again lost on the Apollo missions. That's the power of a personal connection to a tragedy. I watch a lot of accident investigation documentaries, including rail, aviation and space. Nothing drives the lessons deep like the depiction of human tragedy.

Just imagine. If only the aircraft manufacturers could see the final moments of the passengers that die in their low quality aircrafts. Perhaps they would try hard to avoid such incidents rather than chase profits at any cost.

RIP: Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffee, Ed White. The bravehearts of Apollo 1.

This is exactly what was predicted as the result of corporate surveillance and targeted ads. They are part of schemes to extract more revenue from you. Another example is the rising premium for health insurance. But people apparently had "nothing to hide"!

No. Just people fighting for the Darwin awards.

I wouldn't call idiocy leading to ER admissions as 'blown out of proportions'. That aside, I still don't understand what you prove by consuming something as distasteful as tide pods.

How about religion-backed traditional garlic treatment? Not joking. A lot of pseudoscience is backed by dogma.

Though you may be right, I have a feeling that he is facing formidable opposition. That may include anything from social engineering to full on psyops.

Can you imagine the amount of corruptive influences and persuasions he is resisting?

Please learn elementary anatomy and physiology. You don't have to get a medical degree. High school level knowledge will do.

This dangerous misinformation wouldn't get shared around, if people knew about mucous membranes.
