I’m Sarah. I’m a Brit who fled to Portugal on account of Brexit, increasing intolerance and the British weather. I like climbing (although I can’t do much any more for health reasons) and sailing. This is a Friendica account. Friendica is kinda like Facebook as Mastodon is kinda like Twitter, except they can talk to each other.
@Sanctus All well and good as long as you have a guillotine.
@los_chill @LWD there isn’t one. The oligarchs and billionaires want feudalism.
It means people get to starve in poverty because society has simultaneously decided that if you are t already rich then you must work as a moral imperative, but there is no work, and so while starving in poverty is unavoidable, you deserve it anyway.
Because we live in a fucking dystopia.
@sndrtj Point being, it’s not like this is the fuselage failing. It’s a plug that wasn’t fixed in place properly.
This is the difference between “critical design flaw” and “someone fucked up putting it together”
@HowRu68 Lots of informed discussion here. reddit.com/r/aviation/comments…
@Australis13 @HowRu68 There certainly should be.
@Australis13 @HowRu68 “Fuselage” is misleading here. Reports are that it was an exit door plug, which are installed as “blanking plates” in extra exit rows that aren’t used in particular seat configurations.
This suggests it was improperly installed.
@boem Oh no! Anyway …
@ExLisper yes. It does. It’s just easier. I miss it when it’s not there.
@ExLisper No. I’m paying attention to the road, because quite often it doesn’t cope with sharpish bends and you need to take over.
It just reduces the driving load.
@taladar In the old days we called that “having an IT department”. By self hosting, I mean I’m a home user literally hosting services from my living room.
@originalucifer @L4s Went and had a look, and they do the same “iPad on wheels” thing that Tesla does.
Honestly, I kinda hate it. Want a car that works like a car, not a gaming rig.
@Sanyanov Self hosting the server seems to me like it could almost be a misfeature: it relies on the server being accessible. In these days of CGNAT, there are a lot of people who would have to buy a VPS just to do that.
@girlfreddy Just well regulated militia doing well regulated militia things.
@clmbmb @brownmustardminion Looks like some sort of Tailscale clone.
@squid_slime @aseg6 Can’t. My server doesn’t have report functionality.
@aseg6 Can we cut the racist bullshit please?
@uriel238 @cyu Realistically, I can’t see it being cheaper than implants, and will probably need lots of orthodontic treatment when the new tooth comes through.
I have an implant, with bone regeneration, and honestly, it’s just a tooth. Even with the bone regeneration, my total time in the chair was probably less than 90 minutes.
And, bonus, I can’t get toothache in it, and if it breaks, it’s 2 weeks to replace it like nothing happened.
The only way I see this competing with implants if it’s cheaper (honestly can’t see that happening) or less hassle (again, seems unlikely).
Implants are that good, and they’re gonna be hard to displace as the “gold standard” to replace missing teeth.
