The 737 won’t fly an RA on autopilot. We have to disconnect the autopilot and auto throttle and hand fly it. There’ll be a red box on the PFD that we just keep the pitch outside of, and we’ll be fine.

TCAS warnings initially come up about 90 seconds before a potential collision, and a resolution advisory comes up about 60 seconds before a collision. A resolution advisory is obviously a serious situation, but it’s early enough that the climb or descent commands are really not anything crazy, not anything outside a normal climb or descent. No one should be hitting the ceiling if a tcas resolution is flown properly.

Maybe we’re all being so pessimistic. Maybe all that money is going towards proper climate control and plumbing, proper kitchen facilities, and proper hygiene facilities. Maybe they learned from Alligator Auschwitz, right? …right?

$46 400 per bed to build this camp. The motivations are clearly not to benefit the average taxpayer. They’ll gleefully spend hundreds of millions to treat humans like garbage.

As an Albertan, I’m sorry.

The trick is to undercook the onions.

While some profit is going to the states, a lot of staying in Canada. Costco doesn’t own most of its manufacturing (if any). They contract out existing companies to make their products and label them as Kirkland. The TP is likely made by someone like Irving Tissue or Kruger for Kirkland, and Costco takes a slice. The manufacturer is Canadian, and is getting paid.

Oh, ya, ok. Those guards are really more to stop you whacking the side of the switches and breaking the plastic lens and lightbulbs in the top of the switch, but because the switches move up and down and not side to side, those brackets really have no impact on the actual moving of the switches, accidental or otherwise.

They lift up over a gate and you move them down to shut off, rather than turning. There’s no guard over them though. They’re not really close to any other switches you’d be manipulating at any time, especially right after takeoff, and they are a different shape than any other switch (Boeing likes to shape their switches differently so that if you grab the wrong one you’ll feel it). I cannot imagine how one could accidentally move one, let alone both switches do cutoff. But sometimes my brain does inexplicably dumb shit, so I dunno.

Obscuring your DOT number is illegal. I’m sure the police will definitely enforce that rule in this instance…

While I don’t disagree there’s a high likelihood it’s Albertans, very few Albertans drive west and not back east again, so your anecdotal data doesn’t represent your argument.

I’m a proud resident of one of Canada’s only four provinces.
