That's what I'm wondering. The location the plane landed at may have gotten a maintenance check that night, but someone dropped the ball on downloading the FDR and CVR before doing so. Usually, when a plane is involved in an incident, it goes into quarantine until the FAA and NTSB have finished.

It would take a metric buttload of things going wrong for that condition to happen. There are a lot of sensors tied to detecting that the aircraft is on the ground, and the system fails safe in air mode.

The CVR starts recording when the engines start running, and goes until both engines shut down with weight on wheels. It does not start recording when the aircraft has electrical power.

Boeing doesn't have to fulfill that requirement. The CVR manufacturers will. Most likely it's Honeywell or L3. Boeing will just have to install upgraded CVRs on new aircraft, while airlines will need to update if the FAA ever gets around to updating the requirements.

Being sick AF. People came into work sick because of our asinine sick policy, and now they're better while I've been bed ridden for 3 days.

Yes, but I think it's server dependent. Lemm.ee and lemmy.world have been fine.

So far, just the normal amount of timeouts and post load failures. I don't normally hide read posts, so I have not tried that feature.

It did eventually update and the app is working with lemm.ee now.

That cannot support large equipment, has no PTO, cannot safely carry a cherry picker, will not pull a low-loader 5th wheel trailer with a full load, run a flat-bed with a winch for towing cars, or carry 7 CY of wet soil in a dumper.

Commercial operations buy things based on their needs. There's a reason why the small truck you've posted is almost non-existent in the US.

Just doing a quick search shows it's marketed as a commercial truck. Second image on the Ford website shows it with a dumper bed. Further down, it's an electrical utility truck with a cherry picker. Those are pretty reasonable applications, since it can come with a PTO.

Limitation often breeds creativity.

Shitty electric takes forever to heat up and provides inconsistent heat. Good electric is much quicker and more even, but the heating elements take a long time to cool down. I prefer cooking with gas, personally.
