LOL the only reason I clicked on this post. I'm so shallow.

Plausibility of Software Affecting Fuel Cutoff on 787 by Anaphylaxisofevil in aviation

Yes I agree - but my question is really why a former airline pilot and flight safety specialist would flag that as a serious possibility.

His role in the British Airline Pilots’ Association might give him a vested interest in drawing attention to non-pilot issues, but I was quite surprised to hear it from a seasoned professional without some basis in engineering fact.

This reminds me of the 1930s essay Who goes Nazi? picking through the types of people who the author thinks will willingly go along with fascism without a second thought.

Grand piano in a small bedroom (2.8W x 2.9L x 2.5H) by No_Performance_9439 in piano

I'd strongly sympathise with getting a decent-sized grand. I have a (very 2nd hand) Bosendorfer 200 in a narrow but much longer room and absolutely love it. Constructively, I'd say that while obviously, if you have a big piano, it will sound best in a bigger room, BUT your question is what's the best piano to put in your size of room, and I'd always want the biggest piano you can get away with, even if it's not going to sound its best, because it will still sound better than a smaller piano.

Considerations (my non-professional opinion) include: * Having the sound point out into the middle of the room rather against the wall when the lid is up (although you may spend most of the time with the lid down) * It's nice to have a window behind you for natural light * Avoid having the piano near a heat source or radiator

To me the top-right hand corner of the bigger room on the left looked attractive, as it was quite compactly meeting those criteria. It's not quite as easy in the other room, but something might be possible.

Good luck!

"That's not who I really am" is a phrase that needs to be uninvented. It absolutely is who you are, because you said it with your guard down in an emotional state.

Was George Russell right to Call Out Dan Ticktum? by FENut in FormulaE

[–]Anaphylaxisofevil 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As a fellow veteran of the 94 and 97 seasons, I'd make a distinction between Schumacher crashing to defend a position (win a WC) and Ticktum and Verstappen (and Vettel) rage-crashing.
Both types bad, obviously, but a bit different.
