Ah, a ten year old Facebook post. Figures. Some things to note. As temperatures rise, so does the air's ability to contain water vapour. Methane emissions account for 30% of warming. Methane is 80 times more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. We may have already reached a tipping point, as permafrost melts it will release massive amounts of methane into the atmosphere.

France won’t send troops but it is telling that you think helping Ukraine defend itself is bad but Putin invading a neighbour, bombing the crap out of its population and threatening the rest of the world with nuclear retaliation if it interferes is OK.

So-called science has repeatedly erred in making false claims.
Aristides replied to blackbird's topic in Religion & Politics
Science is all about questioning the status quo and existing knowledge. All your questions were answered 2000 years ago so you have no need to question anything. -

Like I said, you have learned a damn thing in 2000 years. Makes life really simple not having to ask any questions. -
Are the Democrats an Actual Cult?
Aristides replied to WestCanMan's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Democrats are all over the map, that's the reason they are so disorganized. They are anything but a cult. That is their big weakness compared to the Republicans who will line up behind any charlatan that can bring them victory even though a majority of Americans consistently vote against them. -

Aristides replied to blackbird's topic in Religion & Politics
This is another theory. Just goes to prove that science evolves as knowledge increases as opposed to religion which hasn't learned a damned thing in 2000 years. -
Common sense to you is throwing Ukraine under the bus. The only one threatening nuclear war is Putin and the likes of you. Putin invaded Ukraine. Putin is bombing the shit out of civilians, not effing Hillary. Man you have a screwed up view of right and wrong, you hate the likes of Hillary so much you will justify anything monsters like Putin do.

They are pragmatic, that's why they joined NATO and are supplying Ukraine with ammunition. Your mother in law was born the year German tanks rolled into her country and for the first 51 years of her life it had either German or Soviet troops based there with either the Nazi's or Soviets calling the shots. Seems like she pines for those days. Macron won't unilaterally send troops to Ukraine but hey. French troops helping Ukrainians defend their country, bad. Russian troops trying to occupy their country, good. Right. You would give Russia whatever it wants, Ukrainians get no say in the matter. Sad.

Like I said, maybe you should watch the interview.

Gear doors are danger on any aircraft. When we worked on B474 and B707 nose gears we always disconnected the links before sticking our heads in a well. They had quick release pins on the links for that purpose. If someone powered up hydraulics and for some reason they decided to close, they snapped shut like an alligators jaw and would cut you in half. Cycling thrust reversers was another case where you had to watch your extremities. There are all kinds of booby traps. I have plenty of scars on my head from working on old cars and aircraft, that and economy seats are drawbacks of being tall. I thought those wings had protective covers that were supposed to be installed when they were being worked on. It's always tempting to take short cuts.
