I’m almost 50 years old and I’ve been hearing about this for almost 50 years.

I just woke up and read the headline as “highly photogenic bird flu”

Hey guys…I don’t think that picture’s to scale…

We tested Comac parts for FAA certification. When you’ve tested parts for decades you can pretty much nail down the cause of the failure be it design, process, materials, a combination and so forth.

Also the c919 is only certified in China. It can’t fly in the US or Europe.

There is more that goes into an airplane than the people maintaining or assembling it, which can and does go afoul. There is the entire manufacturing process, how materials are sourced, processed, refined, machined/formed, heat treated, stress relieved, coated/plated, assembled, and the list goes on. That is a major factor why aircraft are so safe and if you think China’s material and process controls are as rigorous as someone like Boeing or Airbus, it isn’t. It has taken decades of actual aircraft manufacturing to get the formula right for those respective companies and they continue to evolve as time goes on and new information is learned.

I was lead to believe we would get Ant Man.

Might find your answer here around the 50,000 year mark.

The authors wrote: “Although the specific mechanism of erectile dysfunction caused by computer use has not been clarified in the present study, the damage of sedentary behaviour to erectile function appears to be clear, which needs to attract public attention.

The study also says that for every 1.2 hours spent using the computer the chances of experiencing ED increase by 3.57. I’m starting to formulate a theory as to the mechanism of ED caused by computer use. Stick with me here. The longer men sit in front of a computer the greater the chances they view porn and “bust a nut” (I believe that’s the technical term) thus increasing the perception that they are suffering from ED because as we all know, when you ask someone if they watch porn on their computer the answer is almost always “no”.

I am not a scientist or formally educated and suffer from lower levels of follicle-stimulating hormones. The edits were to fix spelling errors. Probably some still lingering around.

Can’t we just enjoy the joke? You’ve brought up a topic worthy of discussion, but for a shitpost thread?

Edit: Added a word

I’ve enjoyed reading many of these comments and I wanted to expand a bit on the reason for the question.

Several friends of mine would camp for several days and do the kind of things guys do. Then we’d realize we’re kind of gross, rude, not attractive, have a lot of shortcomings, and generally not full of great qualities. But, we’ve all been married a long time and will ask ourselves why in the hell did our wives agree to marry ugly, gross fools like us? We know why we married them; they’re far better people than we are! My wife is obviously smarter than me and it isn’t even a fair comparison.

In the end, I guess we make them laugh and are extremely wealthy.

I lied about the extremely wealthy part. I meant borderline poor.

Pulling my dad’s finger always made him fart. Definitely not normal to have your finger connected to a pressure relief valve in your ass.

Would get away to fish for two weeks. No cell phones, no technology, just living (camping) in nature. Enjoy the beauty of the lake and the challenge of catching a fish. Isn’t always easy and you probably throw back more than you keep. Sit on the boat with your buddies, drink beer, BS about anything, and every now and then reel in what feels like Mobey Dick at the end of your line but turns out to be a stick.
