Not replying directly to you, except the "excuse anything" part: It's a funny idea that you owe your opponent in a war a "fighting chance", when in fact the exact OPPOSITE is true. You, in fact, owe your own soldiers every reasonable effort to eliminate your opponent's ability to fight back, as that ability directly translates to your soldiers getting hurt or killed.

One other point of clarification. Fleeing is NOT surrendering. You can't let your enemy flee unhindered only to regroup later.

Yeah, I am a (POG but offensive) veteran of that conflict (different unit), so I have similar thoughts but did not want to alienate the largely civilian audience with them.

Surprisingly quickly. A shot tower will make hundreds/thousands at a time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_tower

Okay, so every Amish community is outfitted with a defensible shot tower, and these are pre-built to be used after SHTF and society collapses around them? Where are they importing the lead?

Unfortunately congress did vote. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_for_Use_of_Milit...

They didn't declare war, which is unfortunate but congress did approve.

This came after the fact, which is not supposed to be how it works.

Question: Do you mean current as in movement of material, or current as in movement of electric fields?

Or is that not a valid distinction in this case?

Both meanings were used here. There are electrical currents, and there are flows of material through the magnetic field, producing voltages that sustain currents. The JxB forces also affect the flows. It's a highly nonlinear phenomenon (magnetohydronamics, or MHD).

Magnetohydrodynamics (spelling)

Magnetotellurics (cool geophysical passive imaging technique)

That's a bit different; it doesn't have the feedback where the JxB force pushes matter around, altering the flow.

Crunchyroll?

I tried it for a while, it didn't seem to have all the shows I wanted and the UX was worse than quite a few of the anime piracy sites.

Of course, anime is a bit of an oddball when it comes to piracy sites, the lack of legal enforcement combined with (from what I've noticed) that a disproportionate part of the audience are developers means there are some really good sites out there.

Could have been really crappy weather and a very turbulent flight. I'm not sure I would be able to tell the difference between 2.5g and some of the severe jolts I've been in.

The article said it was inspected on landing at SFO.

Huh, given the steep dive, and equivalently steep climb-out, I wonder if they got hit by a microburst?

Exactly - do we have confirmation it was actually a dive and not a downdraft/updraft? Because flying into a sudden downdraft would barely be noticeable by anyone who wasn't looking at instruments (you can still be climbing in air that is descending).

No, that's not true. Not following the rules strictly around duty time is a great way to have the FAA up your ass.

but it literally says that the pilots didnt report it.

The increased risk people are talking about have been demonstrated in the form of crashed airliners.

The entire rubric of reporting deviations early and often was developed as it was identified as a major cause of crashes in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.

Per this particular incident: It is a big deal the FO screwed up. It's a bigger deal that the screwup was not reported, as it's an indication that the culture of the airline is more concerned with reputation than keeping everyone alive.
