Cap@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Streaming services are now getting out of hand831·1 year agoI have nothing to contribute to this conversation. Just wanted to say that was a horribly written article.
Cap@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•Air China to buy 100 locally made C919 jets in $11 billion deal21·1 year agoWe tested Comac parts for FAA certification. When you’ve tested parts for decades you can pretty much nail down the cause of the failure be it design, process, materials, a combination and so forth.
Also the c919 is only certified in China. It can’t fly in the US or Europe.
Cap@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•Air China to buy 100 locally made C919 jets in $11 billion deal96·1 year agoThere is more that goes into an airplane than the people maintaining or assembling it, which can and does go afoul. There is the entire manufacturing process, how materials are sourced, processed, refined, machined/formed, heat treated, stress relieved, coated/plated, assembled, and the list goes on. That is a major factor why aircraft are so safe and if you think China’s material and process controls are as rigorous as someone like Boeing or Airbus, it isn’t. It has taken decades of actual aircraft manufacturing to get the formula right for those respective companies and they continue to evolve as time goes on and new information is learned.
Cap@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What would happen if every atom on earth was to simultaneously double in size?1·1 year agoI was lead to believe we would get Ant Man.
Cap@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How long are the Great Lakes likely to last? Will they be there for long enough for something to evolve that's able to break down the stuff at the bottom of Lake Superior?10·1 year agoMight find your answer here around the 50,000 year mark.
Black Hole Sun! Just as predicted by the prophet Soundgarden.
Cap@kbin.socialto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We should name the moon. Most people don't call their pets "dog" or "cat".1·1 year agoDo doo be-do-do
Mah Nà Mah Moon
Do do-do do
Can’t we just enjoy the joke? You’ve brought up a topic worthy of discussion, but for a shitpost thread?
Edit: Added a word
Cap@kbin.socialOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is your Significant Other unattractive, not too smart, or have some other "limitation"? If so, why did you decide to stay with them?9·1 year agoI’ve enjoyed reading many of these comments and I wanted to expand a bit on the reason for the question.
Several friends of mine would camp for several days and do the kind of things guys do. Then we’d realize we’re kind of gross, rude, not attractive, have a lot of shortcomings, and generally not full of great qualities. But, we’ve all been married a long time and will ask ourselves why in the hell did our wives agree to marry ugly, gross fools like us? We know why we married them; they’re far better people than we are! My wife is obviously smarter than me and it isn’t even a fair comparison.
In the end, I guess we make them laugh and are extremely wealthy.
I lied about the extremely wealthy part. I meant borderline poor.
If you think “loading the dishwasher” means getting your wife drunk, you might be a redneck.

Cap@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How often do you attempt to use preternatural abilities on the world around you?9·1 year agoPulling my dad’s finger always made him fart. Definitely not normal to have your finger connected to a pressure relief valve in your ass.
Cap@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What makes fishing as a hobby so appealing that people will fish all hours of the day and in nasty weather?5·1 year agoWould get away to fish for two weeks. No cell phones, no technology, just living (camping) in nature. Enjoy the beauty of the lake and the challenge of catching a fish. Isn’t always easy and you probably throw back more than you keep. Sit on the boat with your buddies, drink beer, BS about anything, and every now and then reel in what feels like Mobey Dick at the end of your line but turns out to be a stick.
Cap@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the best type of food to eat in a shower?32·1 year agoFish. They eat all their food wet so why not eat them when they’re drowning in shower water?
Cap@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Prince Andrew ‘tormented’ as Jeffrey Epstein documents set to be made public221·2 years agoCan we start calling him “The Royal formally known as Prince”?
Cap@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•China Quietly Rebuilds Secretive Base for Nuclear Tests101·2 years agoNot so quiet and not so secretive if it’s being reported on is it?
Still better than the original
Looks like a character out of one of those Cockstar games.
How do you know it isn’t running away from home?
