Or we could just shift school/work start times to permanently be later since most humans don’t function well as early as society demands us to because some rich old white guys hundreds of years ago decided we have to be up as early as possible for “reasons.”

40s is nearing retirement (from flight status) age for fighters due to the physical toll of flying them. Those statistics make no sense when you consider the cutoff age for flight training is 26.
That salary is wrong too. For Navy pilots it’s $65k on average, but salary is adjusted to the living standards of where you’re stationed, which is going to skew any averages.

Today’s fighter pilots are just as young.

Resigning isn’t taking accountability. They’ll just get a different job making the same money as before.

This is why I wake up depressed every fucking morning. Half the world is made up of morons, a quarter are psycho/sociopaths, and the quarter with the right mix of brains and a functioning moral compass are too powerless to do anything.

I’ve lived in Japan almost a decade. I’m referring to all the idiots (mostly expats) who keep dismissing the risks of covid that are still very much real.

News like this always makes me wonder:
-
How does humanity survive with so many allergens?
-
Why so many new allergens in the last ~20 years? Better diagnostics, or were these allergies not a thing 20 years ago?

Memphis had a boil water notice as well, and they always gloat about their tap water. Why do cold temperatures cause a boil water notice when in normal temperatures there’s no pathogens to boil?

Landing at an airport for fuel to get turned around and leave is not the same as “entry” in an immigration sense, otherwise crew and passengers would need visas for every single country they have a transfer in despite never leaving the airport facilities. Given it was an emergency (lack of fuel, weather), I wouldn’t be surprised if there were an ICAO violation here for denying appropriate service to the aircraft and crew.
