Left from Ushuaia down to Deception Island and further south to near Brown Station. Went on an old Russian science ship being run by Quark.

Penguins have a special anus able to withstand higher pressures, so they can poop away from the nest. There’s so many penguins in close proximity though they’re all just covered in poop. They live off krill so it’s pretty stinky.

I was lucky enough to go, it’s amazing, totally recommend.

The penguins smell bad but they’re still pretty cute.

I was intrigued by those things a while ago but the subscription + cloud BS was a no-go for me. That aquarium chiller is a cool idea, but not many of those covers on ebay.

Stupid question - What happens to all the people he’s firing? Isn’t he just creating an unemployment crisis?

By contrast, the vast majority of light aircraft pilots I know are 60+, many 70+ with extensive health issues, heart problems and likely comparatively poor reflexes.

Totally. I have my student license and everyone at the field is much older than I am. There’s a reason that some plane models are called things like “doctor killers”.

Also there’s a lot of random pilots up in places like Alaska or crop dusting in middle America that just don’t give a fuck about anything. That tends to skew the stats a bit more I think.

Yeah you could totally make that argument. A cessna cruises at around 125 knots (143 mph) and google tells me the speed limit on a US highway is 85 mph.

It’s still less safe than driving a car, and not as safe as people assume all flying is (thanks to commercial flying being amazingly safe).

I pasted the links elsewhere, but it’s important to differentiate between general aviation (small planes, crop dusters, personal pilots, etc) and commercial flying.

Commercial flying is EXTREMELY safe, ridiculously so. The safety culture is amazing. General aviation does it’s best, but at the end of the day people just aren’t as responsible in small planes.

I hate to link them, but video of the outside of the plane - https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/1irthzm/all_survived_video_from_passenger_on_board/

Everyone walked away. How the hell do you land a plane upside down?

Not sure how anything you asked is relevant? At the end of the day, general aviation is not super safe to the standard that people expect from commercial / corporate flights.

Before everyone jumps on politics, not every plane crash is Trumps fault. Small planes are roughly as safe as riding a motorcycle, stuff like this happens all the time.

So they can take it, modify it to fit the job description they’re trying to get a commission on, get you in, collect their commission, then disappear.

Their commission is often 25% of your yearly salary.

I am the source.

Bro. Not everything is a conspiracy.

We saw a spike of users for the papaya snark community when they were banned off reddit, I think it’s that.

Lemmy.ca signups per day if we go back to the start of the first exodus:

With the way the bricks are laid, wouldn’t it distribute the weight across the entire base?

Every morning my cat is waiting for me in the bathroom. He rolls around at my feet, and then guards me from the countertop while I shower.

If I somehow beat him, he screams and hammers on the door to be let in.

I believe you can reply locally on your instance to dead communities, but that data would never be replicated to other instances. The fediverse isn’t really a mesh network, more like a hub and spoke on a per community level.
