Purposely disingenuous or just can't grasp the concept? I'm leaning toward the latter.

Terrible analogy. You can do better. Planes lose GPS all the time and nothing bad happens because of triple redundant nav systems. Try "the food was spoiled so the kitchen changed it out for fresh food so everyone was fine and enjoyed the meal and never knew there was an issue in the kitchen".
100% agree. Not saying it wasn't bad. My point was that there was never any danger of a bad outcome in the aviation situation. Absent GPS, there are at least 3 other systems to get the plane to its destination: internal nav, VOR, vectoring from the best ATCs on the planet in Europe.
Not how it works. ANY hearse he's in is designated Hearse Force One.
Oh ffs, a commercial pilot flying in the best ATC space in the world would have zero problems performing a vfr landing even with 0 nav systems functioning. Not typical, I agree, but also not difficult. What is a vfr landing if not pointing the nose of the plane to the end of the runway?
I hate Putin too, but losing 1 of 3 nav systems on a modern airliner is an everyday occurrence in commercial aviation and is an annoyance at worst. Symbolic, rude, but not dangerous.
What you say is true, but has nothing to do with this provocation. No one on either side thought for a second that jamming GPS on a capable airliner would be anything other than a symbolic annoyance. No one was in danger.
Know what else The Villages have? An impressively high rate of reportable venereal disease. Respect, Villages.
My understanding is that commercial airplanes have 3 redundant independent nav systems. GPS, internal gyroscopes and the like, and ground-based nav like b4 GPS.

I bet plenty of people only supported Jewish peole wearing patches and not mass extermination too...
TIL valley fever. Thanks.
OK. Sounds right. What is the language that I should use to reframe AI?
Really? Have you ever tried to get a 12 year old ready on time for anything?
At worst they were harassing her. Losing GPS navigation in a radar monitored airspace is not an emergency. Do you think that commercial jets never have nav system failures? Happens all the time. Press reporting of aviation news is almost always embarrassingly bad.
More like " This helps protect the workers who are currently harvesting sweet potatoes."
Oh, FFS, I'm sure this happened but you don't need an "analogue map" to land an airplane. Commercial pilots land planes "manually" every minute of the day. You see the runway and point your airplane towards the end of it. Aviation reporting is almost always cringe-worthy and wrong.
Whoa! Someone told Dave "no" last night. 30k followers and this is the best you've got? C'mon!
This post demonstrates a logical fallacy usually utilized by Republicans. Elon Musk is successful in making electric cars, therefore he knows how to rescue children trapped in a flooded cave.
You left off the obligatory "I'm not racists but..."

I went to law school with Sparkle and she was one of the smartest and kindest classmates we had. She deserves every bit of the success and honor that she has attained.
🤔 Strange timing: as Rosneft struggles under sanctions and Russia’s Venezuela oil stake reshuffles, the U.S. ramps up military ops near Venezuela under the banner of going after cartels. Hard not to wonder if there’s more at play than what’s being said. @housedemocrats.bsky.social
I mean how many could tell the difference.
NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
OMG yes. My sleepy Florida beach town's hospital has its own independent sworn police force. To be clear, our local HOSPITAL has its own actual police force--not security guards; actual cops with guns and badges and all. USA USA!
Taken an hour ago. Healthy and fit as ever.
Pour one out for Judge Sparkle Sooknanan’s clerks this Labor Day weekend
"Odd"? You can do better than that.
Woke mitochondria.
I know it SEEMS like Ulysses S Grant is tearing across the Georgia countryside winning battle after battle, doing more than anyone to win the war, but given his propensity toward alcohol, is he REALLY winning as much as they say?
This showed up on a sidewalk in my Florida neighborhood. #chalkcrime
Cool. Me too. Also, where are the Epstein files?

Mayors are not named crazy stuff like "Zohran Mamdani". Mayors have regular American names like "Fiorello LaGuardia"
...or committed Kayfabe players.
Civil disobedience in my Florida neighborhood. BTW, don't YOU do this because IT WOULD BE WRONG!
Marc Elias: "Congressman Raskin, rather than raising money to win by 85% instead of 82%, raises money to train a corps of young people to be engaged in politics, elections, and issues. It is a great program he runs every summer called Democracy Summer." Let's have more of these projects!
To be in the position he’s in while saying these words is to be responsible for the deaths of many people
Amen.
Rest assured. The seeds of Trump’s destruction have already been sown. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-263

China isn’t the reason to build solar—it’s the reason we can’t afford to wait. While US nuclear flatlines, China’s solar has already rocketed past it. The lesson isn’t to copy them—it’s that the transition is happening at breakneck speed. Delay now means falling behind forever. ⚡☀️ #EnergyTransition

For real: Are Republicans not embarrassed by stuff like this??
...and the best place near you to get an array of colored duct tape is Walmart, whose duct tape selection is second to none.
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
Just some of Trump’s epic lies.
General Sherman is marching nonstop across the Confederacy, doing more than anyone to win the Civil War, but we need to stage an intervention to address his drinking problem.
CNN platforming Seb Gorka Martha Raddatz at ABC Interviewing Gov Wes Moore & being unhinged. Wes Moore needs to ask why she’s defending a rapist. Ask if her questions were written by Stephen Miller. Wes needs to pushback on a bought off press. I don’t get the constant defense mode. Offense only.
It would if I really wanted to end my self-loathing, which, if I'm honest, I really don't.
Good Morning Resistance
I always tell polymaths like you that you're great and all, which you are, but really, mostly, I'm just so envious of your drive and ability.
I don’t think there’s really an alternate theory of Joni Ernst not running for IA-SEN reelection to “she was gonna lose”

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

I think he thinks the real Nazis will give him and his three little Jewish babies a pass when the time comes.
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
Civil disobedience has consequences. Besides, it'll give me a chance to write my sidewalk chalk letter from a Birmingham jail.
The perfect person to take on Drag Queen Rhona Santis.
Please, PLEASE let this be the catalyst for a Stonewall style protest in Orlando. PLEASE!
You know what your problem is? Your problem is that you underestimate the power of a strongly worded letter. That's what your problem is.
It’s time folks for some #SidewalkChalk civil disobedience. Grab some chalk, go outside with your kids, and draw, write, sketch, vent, play hopscotch. This shit has gone too far. #ChalkCrime
This man was a UNITED STATES MARINE. He was SHOT and killed while Dallas Police were supposed to be PROTECTING him! His service to our country deserved him BETTER than that! We should demand that OUR president, DONALD J TRUMP, order a DECADES-belated FULL military HONORS to this VETERAN! #MAGK
FWIW, a visit to Vicksburg is well worth it. Lovely city. Amazing Civil War History thanks to the Park Service.
This is such a strange story. The track that the engineer ran off the end of, while in the neighborhood of the ship, was pointed away from the ship.
Careful. Who would be left to write very strong letters?
Turn your whole body on the seat of the golf cart before you try to stand. Hold onto something. Lean forward as you push with your legs. Get your balance before you start walking.

Daddy, tell me again how they strung up Mussolini.
welp, Melania just asked Justin Trudeau to be her plus one at the funeral
Man, lobby and free breakfast area hotel TV tells you so much about where you are at that moment. MSNBC vs Fox vs the carefully uncommitted weather channel or Today Show.
These people. Only the best people.
I know this will shock you Davis kids, but I'm 76 and while I remember the introduction of oral polio vaccine, I was a toddler when the original polio vaccine was introduced. Bottom line: even I don't remember life before vaccines. You'd have to talk to MY father.
Robert E. Lee killed more U.S. troops in battle than Adolph Hitler and Osama bin Laden combined
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Good to know. I'm relieved. Thanks.
remember the muslim ban? we protested at airports and everything shut down. And trump folded. What are we doing here?
Blockage worthy if you ask me.
Not just wasted. It's $200M in payouts to drag queen Rhonda Santis's friends who got inflated no-bid contracts. They did NOT hack a new facility out of a swamp. It was developed in the 70s as an SST jetport, but never used. They just put up $200M tents on a runway. Good job if you can get it.
Drag queen Florida Governor Rhonda Santis has ordered removal of all civic art on streets and sidewalks. Just finished this masterpiece next door to an elementary school.
BREAKING: Robert F. Kennedy Jr poised to surpass gun violence as leading cause of death among American children.
Waiting to find out, brother, waiting to find out.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Wtf!?!?!?! The audible scream i just let out. thehill.com/policy/defen...
Wait. Students at Yale pay $65k to sit in a thousand student lecture? TF? This is a brag? Fucking rich people.
CHAOS ERUPTS AT CDC CDC Director Susan Monarez has been ousted after RFK Jr. demanded she change her policy on the COVID vaccine. Top officials from the Vaccine Unit, Zoonotic Division, and the Chief Medical Officer are resigning, per reports. Horrifying news for public health.
It’s almost as if appointing an anti-vax lunatic with zero qualifications to oversee America’s health was a numbskull idea and everybody with a functioning brain knew it.
I love that I have pissed so many people off. 😂 @radiofreetom.bsky.social, is this how you feel every day?
