Tent

It’s not great becoming a man and being told that no matter your intent, you definitely have malicious intent. What you actually do, say, or how you act do not matter. If you do anything as a man, especially if it involves a woman, it must be terrible or some subterfuge to get someone to sleep with you.

Why don’t men get all the benefit of the doubt that women invariably do, which they receive still by the buckets even when they actually do something horrible?

It is insane. Culture wars make people utterly brainless. I do all the things that work and avoid the things that don’t. And these work: lifting weights, healthy eating, GLP-1 agonists1, and creatine. Also, mRNA vaccines are awesomesauce and vaccines in general are hugely beneficial to everyone.

Believing or doing anything else is fucking clownish.

Big Stop

777 Stopping.

So that’s a maximum-energy landing test. That means flaps down, but no thrust reversers.

In that test, the plane takes off, climbs, and then comes back around to land at a chosen high landing weight and velocity. It touches down at a speed near the maximum operating landing weight and then the pilots apply full braking. The purpose is to simulate the worst-case kinetic energy the brakes must absorb after a heavy (can’t dump fuel, full cargo), high-speed landing.

If I remember right, it must sit there for a certain number of seconds before the brakes are allowed to catch fire. And they absolutely 100% will catch fire after a landing like that.

A lot of factors matter here (temperature, speed, etc.), but a plane like the 777 should be able to stop in about 4,000 feet.

But it fucks up the brakes, tires, and potentially other things too.
