Comment Re:Same "pilot" problem crashed the 737 Max's (Score 1) 132

A: No 737 Max crashed with a properly trained pilot in command. B: No 737 Max crashed with a US pilot in command.

What do you mean "properly trained pilot" and US? Is that your way of trying to insinuate the pilots were unqualified because there were "foreigners"? That is not true. All pilots were qualified according to Boeing as Boeing said they did not change the plane enough to warrant recertification of any pilots who had their 737 certifications

Indeed. What a bald-faced fucking lie. The pilots did not have the information they needed because Boeing did not provide it.

What are you smoking? Prices for the European electricity spot-market (and that is what we are talking here) are set by auction conducted every 15 minutes. 15 Minutes was the grid load planning interval. Now it is 10 minutes. You are still wrong for the regular market, because these are long-term commitments, and if you cannot deliver, the fines are huge.

Seriously, you really know nothing, and not in a cool way.

On one hand what you say is true, but it misses some potential nuance which I would like to believe the OP intended, not that I have any faith.

Appearance is a proxy for hormones. This should not be surprising since hormones' effect is to alter the function of cells. The Russian fox breeding experiments tell us that as you breed animals to be tractable you are actually changing their hormonal balance, and they also change in appearance at the same time.

It's well known that e.g. hair growth in humans is governed in large part by hormones, so this speaks directly to what's being discussed.

What you say may actually even be playing a part here; it's possible that there is some sort of cultural shift that is causing men who have a hormonal advantage in the breeding department to be less favored as partners, perhaps perceiving them (rightly or wrongly) as more likely to be abusive at a time when that is increasingly seen as unacceptable. (And if so, yes, good! But it's not the morality or even the reality that causes the shift, but the perception, hence the sentence.)

I can and all the experts here (Europe) do. Because France kept buying electricity at peak-hours at significantly higher prices than normal. Remember those Old German coal plants that were kept up? The electricity they produced when to France because under the European grid rules everybody that could had to supply electricity to keep the French part of the grid from crashing.
