I should call him…

Just…open the hole from behind with your finger before shoving your straw in.

My favorite YA fiction about deicide!

I love you too lmao, thank you!

This is the answer I was looking for but the other answer was the answer I needed lmao

That…makes sense.

Where can I find more info on this general functionality? Sounds like a Satan-send for my auditory processing disorder.

My Master’s degree, if not a PhD, preferably in Sweden or at least the EU. Space was my original aspiration but now I’m thinking renewable energy or a similar engineering field with an eye toward helping adapt to climate change.

You can and will do it.

Narcolepsy sleep test in less than a month 😵‍💫

Deathgasm is a beautiful movie

I think you’re well on your way! Mother hen clucking over your family is 80% of mama-hood. Keep some snacks and Band-Aids in your purse and you’re golden.

Sorry, I’m quieter when I take my Ritalin!

You can compensate by lowering the oil temperature if you’re deep frying. If you’re using an air fryer you could start at a high temp for the crispy outside then lower the temp for the melt-y goodness.

We have the technology!

Only if you use the cheese sticks as is. You could cut the cheese sticks before battering and deep frying.

Or, hear me out; what’s wrong with six giant deep-fried sticks of cheese???

Ah yes, child abuse, the solution to all of our problems.

Judging from pictures it does appear to retract forward. Makes sense to me considering the forces the landing gear would experience. If the hydraulic deployment mechanism were to fail midair you can still manually deploy it from the cockpit and it will fall and lock into place.

There are ways to non-destructively test for cracks and voids in various structural elements. Planes already go through very stringent inspection and maintenance cycles so various physical factors will already have a well-established baseline to compare to.

Some speculation; the damage may be far less than you’d think. Aircraft are (generally) designed to fail gracefully and the front landing gear is a mechanism that sees a lot of force during landing. I can’t tell if the assembly folds back into the landing gear bay or if it penetrates the fuselage without collapsing.

A whole sack of shit went wrong if the fuselage fell directly onto the gear assembly but if the landing gear “simply” folded back into the bay it could be a relatively easy repair. Airframe loading is extremely well-characterized and engineers are already running the numbers on what forces went where.

All that said; fuck McDonnell-Douglas. Boeing “acquired” them back in the 90s. Somehow the MDD board of directors (comprised of businessmen) took over leadership roles formerly held by people with engineering backgrounds. A lot of the failures and poor reputation Boeing has suffered in the past few decades are very likely related to that leadership change.

Got any grapes?

Looks like it was a test of a suppression system in New York. The jet is an F-16 judging by the single vertical stabilizer over a single integrated engine. I initially found the picture in this fire protection post but the source is probably this Air Force blog post which is now lacking a picture.

Cleanup would’ve been messy and likely pollute the surrounding area but an important aspect of fire suppression foam like this it that it wouldn’t harm the entirely-too-expensive aircraft.
