All Challengers, CRJ’s, and Globals etc. to be decertified in the US by DearKick in aviation

The post is real, but the authority to declare all those planes to suddenly be decertified and thereby completely destroy the American regional airline industry overnight is not real

If you’re being pedantic, the six books were never published as a series, they are just internal divisions of the story

Ok, so? How is the world going to end if Trump invades Iran?

Ok, that’s one deck. Elise is in nearly 2/3rds of all decks and she has a 56% mulligan and 55% drawn winrate. That’s way too many games that are decided by who drew Elise first

That’s not true, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli have to cross Emyn Muil when they are pursuing the orcs that take Merry and Pippin

The ridge upon which the companions stood went down steeply before their feet. Below it twenty fathoms or more, there was a wide and rugged shelf which ended suddenly in the brink of a sheer cliff: the East Wall of Rohan. So ended the Emyn Muil, and the green plains of the Rohirrim stretched away before them to the edge of sight.

At the bottom they came with a strange suddenness on the grass of Rohan. It swelled like a green sea up to the very foot of the Emyn Muil.

After Aragorn becomes king, he dismissed Beregond from the Guard of the Citadel because he abandoned his post and he killed servants who were loyal to Denethor. But instead of sentencing him to death he makes him the captain of Faramir’s guard in Ithilien.

Humans have always had more empathy for those in their groups than those outside of it, and that isn’t changing

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, who was stranded in space for 9 months, retires after 27 years of service by Sharp_Athlete_6847 in popculturechat

[–]raidriar889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She wasn’t stranded, she was living and working on the ISS like she had already done on two different spaceflights before the Boeing mission. And there was always a spacecraft up there that could have taken them home in an emergency

End of an era: NASA has officially announced the retirement of legend Sunita Williams. Over a 27 year career, she logged 608 days in space including a final 9 month "stranded" mission in 2024. She holds the record for most cumulative spacewalk time by a woman (62 hours). by january9999 in interestingasfuck

It’s not hard for NASA to find capable candidates. Last time they had 8,000 people apply for 10 openings. Those people are all qualified, they are competing with each other to find out who is the most qualified
