An Airbus A320 Neo recently lost all 3 hydraulic systems at the exact same time while in cruise. They are supposed to be redundant. How come Airbus hasn't grounded the A320 Neo?

"Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.?

U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli wrote: “Apparently he thought it would be funny to interfere with our immigration enforcement operations. Now he can laugh behind bars while he faces justice. Nunez is looking at up to 10 years in federal prison if convicted.”

Essayli, acknowledged the outcome on Friday: “A jury found Mr. Nuñez not guilty. He was free on bond prior to the trial. We have no further comment.”

LOL get fucked fascists.

I've watched my best friend with this go from getting told "We can't do a hysterectomy, you might want to have kids!" (despite protests to the contrary) to "well, we can't be sure you have it without invasive surgery" to "you're almost menopause age, it'll go away then".

I'm furious for her, it's been tough to watch at times.

What would happen if you maxed out your credit cards and line of credit then fled to some village in the phillipines?

I kinda did that in the early 00's. Left the US and told creditors* to kick rocks. They basically just wrote it all off. I came back 10ish years later and it was like it never happened. I went to get a loan for a motorcycle when I got back and they told me that since I didn't have any credit history (wtf?) that it would be a slightly higher interest rate. Now some 15 years after that, I'm a model citizen, credit wise. I'll save the next time for retirement.

  • I do apologize to Gateway for not paying for that PC and causing them to go under.
