they should as a matter of course. but I guess "papers" you entrust to someone else are a gray area. I personally think that it goes against the separation of police state and democracy, but I'm a nobody, so it doesn't matter I suppose.

yeah I'm fine with just an ultra wide, no more stacked monitors for me

Seems kind of like a no brainer given what we know about skin cancer, but I'm kind of surprised if you control for that if it had any other great "opportunity" to increase your lifespan when you control for obvious ones like exercise, diet, and controlling stress. I'm not a big outside lover, but I do take a daily walk to hopefully get bit of vitamin D from it. I mostly exercise indoors and my hobbies are almost all indoors.

this could definitely open me back up to android. I got tired of my device becoming hacker friendly and went over to iphone after my perfectly useful android device was outside of feature/security updates. I didn't want to install another OS android or root my device, I just want to use it and stick it back in my pocket. I will definitely look at samsung again with my next mobile "era" when my iphone dies/is too slow.

yeah anything to get them to start being an engineering company again instead of a "let's squeeze all we can out of this profit center and not listen to our engineers"

This is incorrect. Israel is at war with Hamas and they aren't holding back, and there is a large difference between what is going on and genocide. If Israel wanted to commit genocide then the entirety of Gaza would be leveled and 99% of the people dead indiscriminately. There are different levels of warfare.

In some cases (some spark plugs are what I can think of) explicitly tell you NOT to grease them, as that will let you over-torque them and potentially damage threads (aluminum heads, steel plugs). So using grease is not always the recommended procedure.

Did you torque every bolt every time before every flight?

Being a fat guy, I disregard that during flight other than takeoff, landing, and turbulence. I drive to work on most days, and the chance that I die that way is FAR, FAR higher than the few flights I take each year. I'll live with the odds. Yes, I wear my seat belt in my car, it's actually comfortable

That isn't going to happen, they are too many out there and they have too much money invested. It would take FAA action (or European I suppose)

Didn't it look like Brazilian government was almost 100% gonna have it called off because of the "hit" to national reputation? (losing one of their largest and most internationally famous powerhouses)

what? The death penalty is still around.

Fixing known problems as you learn of them is maintenance is it not? That's just as important as changing out the lubricants and checking that the working parts are working.

Sounds like fascism to me. More like what N. Korea does, you'd think that S. Korea would be averse to adding more fascism to their lives rather than less.
