I did see one person commenting on the other video that they could see the flaps were in the wrong position. And it is conspicuous that the landing gear was not retracted - though could that be because the pilots realized they were in trouble and would need to attempt a crash landing, or were too busy with whatever else had gone wrong?

Are the 787's controls arranged in such a way that you could accidentally retract the flaps instead of the landing gear?

Yes, this also explains why right-wingers always accuse others of "virtue signalling" when they try to do something helpful.

That every American doesn’t approve of Trump’s handling of protests is shameful.

Quite the contrary. But looking at your post history, I wonder whether you accidentally said the opposite of what you meant.

Trump is telling all kinds of lies about this. Gavin Newsom mentioned that Trump had lied to the media about having discussed sending the National Guard with him in a phone call.

Better get on it quickly, becuase RFK just appointed a new CDC vaccine committee full of antivax idiots, after firing everyone who understood anything.

I wonder if you're ever going to be able to rebuild the USA. Especially if half the population die in the next pandemic with no vaccines.

Raising all boats makes a much more fun world.

Billionaires are pathologically selfish, often it seems with actual personality disorders that make them unable to understand a world of mutual support and sharing, or to appreciate how much they benefit from others' support. Unfortunately we let these people become far too powerful.

The same people who do everything they can to obstruct actual science, including research into vaccines and other medicines. ChatGPT can surely do what actual scientists and experienced health professionals can do. After all, ChatGPT can predict what word a person is likely to say next, so do a convincing impression of someone who knows about medicine. It's probably no coincidence that many of these people are grifters in their own right, and those who aren't are suckers for grifters. They have basic problems appreciating or caring about the difference between real and fake.

I've seen a lot of posts on Lemmy today arguing that Greta Thunberg is privileged, self-obsessed or self-promoting, that her actions are merely symbolic and useless, etc. I have to wonder whether these are part of a coordinated campaign. I hope we can all recognize someone who cares enough to put themselves in danger for the sake of others.

Conservatives will sell out the country at the drop of a hat. Let that stuff sit on the shelves and in the warehouses. Buy Canadian.
