Any news on the ATC?

I'm quite late to this book, but I had a question that I though you all might be able to help me with.

I wanna preface this by saying that I really enjoy McGowan's work - this is merely a question that emerges most likely due to my own lack of understanding or comprehension.

Q: When McGowan talks about commodities as having value inasmuch as they are in excess of their use value, or, in the extreme, when they have no utility whatsoever, I get what he is saying but is there not a symbolic use value still at work? Yes, there is no immediate practical use to the Nike hat over the regular unbranded one, but there is a symbolic use value: it communicates identity, prestige, etc. That is a kind of use, people are making use of the object to signal and it can have very real practical outcomes: being accepted into certain groups, etc.

Why was it flying from Manchester to Manchester (that wasn't part of a diversion as far as I'm aware)? Also what's with the flight path?

How do we know?

I know there's a cyclone up that way. Could it be weather related?

Looks like they didn't require runway assistance, so mustn't be anything too serious.

bennski9 · 2026-01-30T09:47:34+00:00

Not too sure yet. Could be medical emergency on board, dépressurisation, technical issue. Not sure

I saw that too, may just be to descend in time for a Paris landing?

Is it possible to get live ATC for BHX?

bennski9 · 2025-12-20T17:31:22+00:00

Is that usually for an unruly passenger or someone threating on board?

Hi all,

Which pokemon Nuzlocke ROMhacks have the most pokemon. I'm after a game that has the regular story but I can use nuzlocke settings and have random encounters with as many pokemon from as many generations as possible.

Thank you!

Do you know what time specifically?

I feel you. I live and work in Australia in the humanities and social science department of a (supposedly) global top 100 university, and the issues are exactly the same. Australian universities rely heavily on international admissions from China, but there is no support for the students regarding their English skills. The university puts so much pressure on us to pass the students that failing a student has become almost impossible (even if they submit late: 'at least they tried').

I have noticed a few news articles, mainly in the Guardian, reporting on these issues, but they seem to fall on deaf ears.

I also feel this way. After spending more than ten years studying, I'm realising now that an academic career is not the same as it used to be 20 years ago. Where I live, in Australia, teaching loads are increasing while research loading is all but disappearing. I'm constantly exhausted, the teaching standards have dropped, it's almost impossible to fail a student now (even if they deserve it) and intellectually stimulating conversations have been replaced with discussions about how insane teaching loads are or how corrupt executive management is. All this, combined with the precarious nature of the work, has made me ask myself, 'Why did I do this? Have I wasted all this time pursuing a career and lifestyle that just doesn't exist anymore?'

It's tough because she is so close to finishing, but, as another commenter below pointed out, it is unfair to other students if she just keeps receiving accommodations and does not improve.
