Nah, it’s Genesis, she’s holding it upside down…

NIce! Thanks :)

I don’t know, Linus is still trying to excuse and justify. It would seem taking him out of the driver’s seat was the right call. As for the rest, they are responding because their backs are against the wall. Time will tell if they will really make any changes.

I work in aviation regulatory law but, a friend of mine does work in this arena. I did ask him if my analog existed in the nautical world and he was able to walk me through how he’d managed to avoid any regulatory oversight. There’s SOLAS but, other than that, it’s a gap that apparently needs to be closed.

I don’t know, I’m an aircraft structural engineer and, based upon what technical commentary I did hear him make, it kinda sounds to me like he knows what he’s talking about.

I don’t know about the others, but Coast Guard gets paid regardless. These events justify their budget. It wasn’t an “extra cost” to the taxpayers.

A kid and a researcher who made regular trips to document the flora growing on the site.

Those are the two I’m most familiar with in my profession, at least as far as civilian authorities are concerned. Can’t really say “no” and, I’m pretty sure neither can you. On the other hand, feel free to prove me wrong with a counter example. :)

The CEO was very careful to skirt applicable regulatory laws. He even called his passengers “crew members”. In the aviation world, I have some experience harmonizing multiple regulatory authorities. Because of “international waters”, there will need to be some agreement and harmonizing of regulations. There’s already SOLAS so, I think it can be done.

United States Federal Aviation Administration, I believe EASA is similar.

In the aviation world, an experimental aircraft may not be used for “compensation or hire”. The only exception is that a kitplane manufacturer is allowed to give demo flights.

You have no idea how apropos this is to an argument I’m current embroiled in.

I’ve been curious about going “both ways”, but never acted upon it… ;)

I guess I did follow people on Twitter, I had friends there…then Musk made it weird…

I gave Mastodon a look when Twitter started to get all “Musky”. I wound up going with Counter.Social in the end.

Having tried both, I think I prefer Lemmy
