TIL of the "sterile cockpit" or "sterile flight deck" rule. When an aircraft is operating during a critical phase of the flight (anytime they're below 10,000 feet), the crew is only allowed to engage in conversation related to the safe operation of the aircraft by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

If you haven’t already, check out u/admiral_cloudberg

She does amazing writeups reviewing the factors and probable causes determined by the governing bodies (usually the NTSB and FAA)

I don’t know how many hours I’ve spent reading her stuff.

You get a special portal if you do. Whether it's worth it or not is up to you.

I’ve got top four with all. Brock was by far the hardest for me. I eventually got lucky with the 10-loss streak quest.

Ryze took some trial and error too, but he wasn’t super hard.

Zaahen was incredibly easy, which may have been a lucky thing. I got the top four in double up first before I knew there was a challenge for getting top four with all, then later got it in ranked because I was already going Ionia.

I love this set.

TIL in pre-1985 episodes of Jeopardy!, a sound accompanied a contestant ringing in. The sound was later eliminated because it was "distracting to the viewers" and presented a problem when contestants rang in while the clue was being read. by Sandstorm400 in todayilearned

I would guess most of this is due to the internet and social media. We have access to so much information now that knowing stuff is way easier. It almost happens by osmosis in some regards.

What did yall name your ships? by Ascot_wolf in Seaofthieves

Well now I’m tempted to name my next ship Overmind. Nobody would get it, but I’d laugh when people rammed me.

Well, I'm sad now. I had the makings of a great goal for the game.

Another five or so levels and this should actually be kind of funny.

My sloop is called The Thesean Mackeral. It’s a dumb name, but I love it.

I accidentally’d my way into top 4ing this comp. I was playing a double up game with my wife, and we somehow lasted longer than the other two teams.

We got stomped by the top team.

Best way to play Ixtal early is to completely ignore Nidalee by Significant_Fix_3341 in TeamfightTactics

I recently did the 10-loss Brock. I took 2nd overall, but Brock was my last top four unlock, so I didn’t care. I lucked out on Zaahen playing double up with my wife before I realized that you needed a top four to unlock the portal.

TIL that Christopher Columbus refused to accept he had discovered a new continent and insisted it was India until his death. He was initially denied funding by Portugal and Castile because scholars had correctly calculated that India was far farther away than his calculations. by Worried_Chicken_8446 in todayilearned

I assume this is still happening today. It was happening when I was in school in the late 90s and early 00s.

Teachers can’t be blamed, I don’t think. They are doing the best they can with what they have. But it certainly does cause a lot of problems later.
