  • USDA says it accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is trying to rehire them

  • Stupid question - What happens to all the people he's firing? Isn't he just creating an unemployment crisis?

  • 2 killed in crash of small plane near municipal airport east of Atlanta, authorities say

  • By contrast, the vast majority of light aircraft pilots I know are 60+, many 70+ with extensive health issues, heart problems and likely comparatively poor reflexes.

    Totally. I have my student license and everyone at the field is much older than I am. There's a reason that some plane models are called things like "doctor killers".

    Also there's a lot of random pilots up in places like Alaska or crop dusting in middle America that just don't give a fuck about anything. That tends to skew the stats a bit more I think.

  • Yeah you could totally make that argument. A cessna cruises at around 125 knots (143 mph) and google tells me the speed limit on a US highway is 85 mph.

    It's still less safe than driving a car, and not as safe as people assume all flying is (thanks to commercial flying being amazingly safe).

  • I pasted the links elsewhere, but it's important to differentiate between general aviation (small planes, crop dusters, personal pilots, etc) and commercial flying.

    Commercial flying is EXTREMELY safe, ridiculously so. The safety culture is amazing. General aviation does it's best, but at the end of the day people just aren't as responsible in small planes.

  • Before everyone jumps on politics, not every plane crash is Trumps fault. Small planes are roughly as safe as riding a motorcycle, stuff like this happens all the time.

  • Lemmy doesn't log ips, and the access logs don't contain usernames or id's by default. You would need to modify things to record ips.

  • All morning trying to fix something in CSS...

    Jump

  • Leminal.space's pict-rs seems to be was down, so when I expand this I get a broken image icon. I thought that was the css joke at first.

  • Can I connect to an instance on my LAN?

    Jump

  • If it's all in docker, you probably need the docker container name as the target host. Assuming your docker network isn't in host mode.

  • I had to do a double take when I saw Lemmy.ca spiked to 9.1k registered users

  • Let's talk =)

  • How do you clean your glasses and the microfiber cloth used to clean your glasses?

    Jump

  • I recommend dish soap instead, smells nicer.

  • Why are headhunters or recruiters so laser focused on getting my resume?

    Jump

  • So they can take it, modify it to fit the job description they're trying to get a commission on, get you in, collect their commission, then disappear.

    Their commission is often 25% of your yearly salary.
