It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

All of the reviews for this POS mentioned how the steering wheel wasn't actually connected to the steering, it all runs through the buggy ass computer instead, and literally all of them tried to spin it as a positive by saying "it's just like how modern airplanes work!"

The timing of "it's how airplanes work and nobody complains about them" perfectly coinciding with it coming to light that all the planes we build are total pieces of shit was pretty funny.

"It's just like an airplane, it's doors are barely bolted on and everything"

I don't think the fly by wire system has been the cause of any of the issues? Hasn't it all been shoddy engineering work?

The post talks about "catastrophe failure" of the steering. Also a bad fly by wire system seems like it's pretty well encapsulated in "shoddy engineering"

Catastrophic failure of the truck's steering. I don't recall a Boeing incident being due to the steering mechanism breaking.

Yes you're right, it's all engineering. I meant like cracks in the frame and stuff.

Oh shit my bad thought you meant none of the tesla issues were the fly by wire.

No as far as I know that hasn't been an issue on the planes yet, but then again the fact the door wasn't screwed on right doesn't encourage a lot of confidence on any other system.
