I for one approve of your writing; very descriptive and succinct.

I mined half a BTC with university electricity. I used it to purchase the Pathfinder 1e rulebook.

I could've paid off my student loans with that half BTC. I try not to think about it too much.

I never used the rulebook.

Wrong community, there is nothing dull about brisket.

This way we can downvote each schizoposting idea rather than limit ourselves to a single "wtf?" downvote.

Ah yes, child abuse, the solution to all of our problems.

There are ways to non-destructively test for cracks and voids in various structural elements. Planes already go through very stringent inspection and maintenance cycles so various physical factors will already have a well-established baseline to compare to.

Some speculation; the damage may be far less than you'd think. Aircraft are (generally) designed to fail gracefully and the front landing gear is a mechanism that sees a lot of force during landing. I can't tell if the assembly folds back into the landing gear bay or if it penetrates the fuselage without collapsing.

A whole sack of shit went wrong if the fuselage fell directly onto the gear assembly but if the landing gear "simply" folded back into the bay it could be a relatively easy repair. Airframe loading is extremely well-characterized and engineers are already running the numbers on what forces went where.

All that said; fuck McDonnell-Douglas. Boeing "acquired" them back in the 90s. Somehow the MDD board of directors (comprised of businessmen) took over leadership roles formerly held by people with engineering backgrounds. A lot of the failures and poor reputation Boeing has suffered in the past few decades are very likely related to that leadership change.

FUTO has demonstrated other sketchy behavior. The relevant comments were collapsed when I opened the page FWIW.

Also, platforming Yarvin alone is enough for me to avoid FUTO. Everyone is free to draw their line in the sand where they will.

I edited my previous comment from "FUTO is Curtis Yarvin" to "FUTO is associated with Curtis Yarvin" to be more precise.

FUTO is associated with Curtis Yarvin

I think some of the dissent in the comments fail to consider some of the nuances in this interaction. If this specific kind gesture isn't appealing I have two alternatives to suggest.

I keep a bunch of bottles of water in my backseat and two in my glovebox to hand out to people asking for help at traffic lights and such.

Goodwill and other thrift stores generally have books for pretty cheap. Easy to fill a shopping bag for $20. I mostly aim for beginner level novels and young adult fiction and put them in the free neighborhood libraries. Satan knows we need more children reading.
