It’s weird how at this point like 99% of us would vote to just take off, bad engine and all, and just take our chances.
@actualham how many engines do you really need anyway?
-
@actualham at this point I would vote you in as the Idris Elba in Hijack of the plane, with the authority to negotiate safe arrival for all
@xolotl Idris would never have eaten at Sbarro 😞
-
And now I’m back to lighthearted posting when I say that they are testing the engine “by giving it a few good revs.”
😬
@actualham Love to hear the pilot talk like he’s trying to get a beater Chrysler to start.

@actualham you get a pass on that given the slim pickins you have at the ready in NH. The pizza in PDX is so precious we sneer at any shop without "apizza" in its name...

I don’t think the revs were good enough 🫤
Guy With A Wrench is now in the cockpit talking to the pilot (his cousin?). Seems like not a good sign.

@actualham maybe the emergency brake is on?

You _know_ you wanna go. ✈️ -

Confirmed: the Wrench Guy could not fix it. They are trying something else for 20-30 mins and then I’m likely looking at deplaning and the complete annihilation of any spirit I had left in me.

At least it’s not just me. Now we ALL have back pain.

Something about the loss of daylight, each minute ticking by. End of shift is nigh. They are trying to come up with plan, for a plan, a magic trick to make it look like they're doing stuff, but are in fact not going to make good on this scheduled flight. It's not the weather.
It's the airline.

The Apple FlightTracker says I am now “en route.”
Yeah, and Pilot Godot is at the wheel.

Godot just said the issue is resolved and we should be underway soon!

The end of this EMT textbook chapter is about how to recognize when someone is sooooo dead, you don’t have to try to resuscitate them. They actually say that we should not do cpr on a decapitated patient. I have concern for students who needed to read that in a textbook.
Sorry if this is too graphic for a cute travel thread. But I’m like one step away from being a main character on The Pitt so it’s to be expected.
@actualham
*taking notes*
“do not CPR headless corpse...” -

They just need to “close up the engine.” COULD THEY DO THAT FROM THE AIR PLEASE 😭😭😭😭

Still not in the air but logging off to sit quietly with my eyes closed and hum to myself

The woman next to me is dressed the way anyone in a Boston blizzard dresses when they’re about to get on a plane to Minneapolis.
@actualham But the "Blizzard" was in BOS. She is flying TO MSP, where the weather is just above freezing w/ bright orb in the sky. When that happens in here in Mich in Feb, it's called "time for shorts, it warmed up". They do that in MN too.

@actualham They gotta put Robin in the captain's chair.
@cogdog @actualham That would be awesome: listening to Robin live-explaining how she's flying the plane with all the thingies and coat-hook-like levers in a cockpit.

@actualham There is always one. Hopefully they are not called Dave.

@actualham Cliffhanger...

@conchoid you're going to be shocked to hear this, but when I want to make art I want to just make art I don't want to spend hours reading "man pages" instead

Trump manda a meloni la carta degli alleati

@Otttoz no intendo: febbraio con 28 giorni. è assurdo.

The bare minimum I expect of Democrats:
- Abolish and prosecute ICE
- Statehood for DC and Puerto Rico (if Puerto Ricans want it)
- Impeachment of Trump, as many times as it takes (pick a crime, any crime, have the hearings)
- And, if/when we have a another Democratic president, pack the fucking courts with people who believe in democracyIf they aint ready to brawl with these fascists, they aint ready. This isn't the time for bipartisan comity. Republicans are killing people.

@Gina Relatable 😢

I like that it has a little video demo to show what it does.

@vnikolov The trajectory of Artemis II is actually more similar to Apollo 13 as the spacecraft won't orbit the Moon.

@aeva don't you love the command line? *ghasp*
