@DocPriyamMD @KenZeroHarm I’ve always wondered how many people have actually had an elephant sitting in their chests and survived to tell the tale…🤷‍♂️

Most people think a heart attack feels like an elephant sitting on your chest. But if you’re a woman or living with diabetes, it’s more likely to feel like: • Sudden, crushing fatigue • Nausea or indigestion • Pain in the jaw, neck, or back

@TcameronTodd I got called a motherfucker the other day by one on the landline trying to tell me my internet was broken. I took it as a compliment.

@DJSnM As a Westwind II owner, I can confidently tell you that the sticker price on these things could be ZERO dollars and you’d still lose your ass

Even small content creators can afford to buy jets, but the cost to operate these makes them dubious deals.

@Combat_learjet There was a letter doing the rounds in Europe a while back where the French triangulated some inappropriate guard transmissions onto a particular flight. They wrote to the company identifying the flight. Wish I could find it again!

Interesting. Good luck actually determining who the pilots are.

@louis20016 Of course Murphy’s law states that that 1 flight out of 100 is exactly the one I booked

Damn… take a close look at the state of this China Airlines A350 door. An Airbus A320 passenger door already runs you about $700,000–$800,000 USD. Scale that up to the bigger, more advanced composite A350 door (plus hinges, seals, actuators, and the full surrounding frame/fuselage structure) and you’re easily looking at a million dollars or more just for the door itself. Now the real work begins: full heavy inspections of the entire door surround and adjacent structure to make sure nothing else was compromised. This is gonna be a proper heavy maintenance job.... expensive, time-consuming, and the jet will be out of service for a while. Ground handling stuff like this always hits different. One small slip and you’re staring at seven-figure repairs on a multi million $ airplane. Context :This is the left forward passenger door on their A350-900 (B-18902) that got wrecked today at Melbourne Airport. The plane rolled backward while it was still hooked up to the aerobridge on flight CI58 to Taipei. No passengers on board, but the damage to the hinges is nasty... and the aerobridge took a hit too. Flight cancelled on the spot.

I'm seeing a lot of radiology outfits using AI image interpretation lately and the reports are dangerously terrible. I hope every radiologist doing this cops the negligence suits they deserve. The better be putting the $$$ they make farming reports into insurance. #disgusting

@gomichild Honestly I see this on a regular basis and I do not care why they did it or what they stuck up there. My job is to enable it to be removed without discomfort or humiliation. I never judge. Let’s just be kind.
