Dogs love pumpkin. Dogs love cinnamon.

10s of thousands of nothing. Hundreds of thousands isn't even enough that "economic growth" at the expense of increased costs and greater inequity would be a net benefit.

A complete Greenland slide-off would be an average sea level rise of about 7m, and is possible in our lifetimes as an extreme event (something like a fraction of a percent chance before 2100). If it happened it would be multiple events really, spread out across years or decades. Antarctic ice moving so its weight is no longer supported by the continent was too unlikely to include in models a few years ago, but the West Antarctic has been so active that I'd expect it to start showing up in estimates.

And. Yet. Here. You. Are.

And yet here you are.

Don't give them any ideas. Blueberries and sometimes strawberries are the only thing that's cheap anymore. Blueberries are cheaper than cereal by a factor of up to 10 (3 cents an ounce frozen or 6 cents an ounce fresh vs 20-30 cents an ounce for cereal). Sure, they're mostly water and cereal is mostly calories, but the cost of both is dominated by transportation and the blueberries cost more to grow, harvest and handle.

That's because you're the victim of a crime: extortion

No, terrible record keeping is exactly what caused this, according to the anonymous whistleblower: warranty work on the door was performed without any records being created for it due to boeing keeping two record keeping systems, one that was the system of record and one that was used as visibility for management.

No, the NTSB said that Boeing hadn't provided them with the records, not that orders for the reinstallation hadn't been made. Boeing is now trying to blame the lack of records to follow-up on on employees, even though none of the work should have been possible without the records existing in the first place.

Boeing absolutely shouldn't be trying to get out ahead of the NTSB investigation with their own deflecting interpretation of what the NTSB has uncovered and shared with Boeing, which is probably along the lines of the anonymous whistleblower from a few months ago who detailed failings in the record keeping process before the senate hearings revealed that Boeing hadn't provided the NTSB with the records (which according to the anonymous whistleblower didn't exist because they were never created)

$5k?! A doctor's visit is $250 for me (insurance doesn't cover anything until I never reach the deductible). Also there were only like 2 tests totalling 20-ish questions. The hardest part was making an appointment, which I never would have done if I wasn't also making appointments for other pressing health issues.

Those numbers are colossally lower than what NYC and London came up with for transit buses ages ago (about $1.2 million/£1.7 million). I haven't looked at the article yet but it's probably due to the lower use and lower population density.
