Comment Re:A 2018 advisory was issued for those switches (Score 2) 108

From the preliminary report

"As per the information from Air India, the suggested inspections were not carried out as the SAIB was advisory and not mandatory. The scrutiny of maintenance records revealed that the throttle control module was replaced on VT-ANB in 2019 and 2023. However, the reason for the replacement was not linked to the fuel control switch. There has been no defect reported pertaining to the fuel control switch since 2023 on VT-ANB."

So the inspection recommended by the 2018 advisory you mentioned was not carried out. It is, however, not relevant in this case since the whole module (which includes the fuel control switches) was replaced for other reasons. So if the switches had been, inded, defective in 2018, that was corrected by the whole module being replaced.

Comment Just more leftist propaganda (Score 0) 273

For those who have been asleep for the last ten years: the left claims that *everything* Trump does will be an end-of-the-world disaster. The left has barely finished screaming about how dropping a few bombs on Iran will start WWIII. Just like Trump making fun of Kim Jun Un will start WWIII.

The left is also screaming about how 14 million people will die if Trump stops some obvious government waste, fraud, and abuse.

None of this stuff ever happens. It is just propaganda.

BTW: diversity hiring is a civil rights violation, and - in the long run - the worst thing you can do for minorities.

Nobody. They're replacing them with universal chargers that have BOTH. And support credit-card readers, which the Tesla ones didn't. And upgrading them from the v3 400V 175kW Tesla chargers to Applegreen's 800V 350kW.

Tesla's contract ended. It was rebid. Tesla lost. Elon whines and throws a tantrum.

Comment Why I stopped going to movies (Score 1) 183

I used to go the theaters all the time, no I hardly ever go.

In no particular order:

1. Way to expense for an experience that, at best, is marginally better than watching it on television.
2. Annoying people in theaters who talk non-stop and use their phones.
3. Movies are not very good. Uninteresting stories. Uninteresting characters. Rehashed woke crap. Nothing that is thought provoking in the least.
4. Time travel and parallel universes mean that nothing that happens actually happens, so who cares? Main character dies? No problem, some time travel will fix that right up.
5. It will be streaming soon enough anyway.
