But an interesting study nonetheless!

Thing is, both of those would hydrolyse on the eye into nasty acids where the threat is chemical damage, so neutralisation probably makes more sense...

Not a medical chemist, but ... this looks like it falls into the bracket of "doing chemistry on your eyes"? Plus CS &c aren't causing 'chemical burns', but more the sensation of burning (which is why they're reversible over a master of minutes after the end of exposure)?

A cartoon from the New Yorker, with a man in a torn business suit sitting near a campfire in an apocalyptic landscape, telling three small children that "Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."

I've been in there both as passenger and operating crew, and never understood how they managed to make such a dreadful little airport.

Blockchain, for legacy waste.

To make it slightly easier, isn't it Maltese residents who are *either* citizens of Malta or citizens of the EU (or, indeed, a Brit with long term residency there post-Brexit)?

Interesting, thank you!

Out of interest, why are you drying them?

This might be a painfully British accent thing (where 'mayor' rhymes with 'fair')

WOKE CYCLING MAYOR! (to the tune of "Pink Pony Club")

Trouble is, most tourists from here will be on ESTAs / VWP, which will seemingly still be $21/3yr. Where this will bite is those of us that *need* visas - this'll be costing airlines between £500k and £3m/yr by my rough maths, for instance.

You should be able to chalk it up as pro bono work in the community.

And there was me thinking that was law schools advertising their one easy trick to getting pupillage...

That's not fair, it's clearly more than just a bus.

It's a bus with further spectacular quarterly losses for gullible VCs.

But if you're a dip at the border with the phone in your hand, what's to stop CBP just taking it other than the Vienna Convention? I'd argue the US Executive have already established a carefree attitude towards that sort of thing - a border phone search is less aggressive than an embassy search...

Can't, or shouldn't?

Is this an entry for one of those "five word horror stories" competitions?

Genuine question, as I haven't a clue about US Federal law: is there no equivalent akin to estoppel in public law, if the incoming administration makes clear it wouldn't enforce, buying you another four years of continued operation? I can see that the executive can't bind its successor though.

My understanding of Serbian is zero but it seems harsh to describe GBRJ as 'Portillovom'.

I'm sorry that so many of our elected representatives are morons, but ... I'm sure you know how that feels.

Is this what used to be Il Treno, or similar, just north of York ring road?

In fact, at Whitechapel the Overground is underground, under the Underground which is, briefly, overground.

As someone who drives large aeroplanes over that part of the world semi-regularly - I have only, "wat"? How did they think that was OK, let alone a good idea?

Unless he was a Boeing pilot (not impossible, but if he was I'm sure it would've come to light) he wouldn't have even heard of MCAS. There was literally only one reference to MCAS in the available manuals, in the abbreviation table.

No-one on either Lion Air flight understood what had happened.

Not quite (and I can't believe I'm defending Boeing here). The option was to display AoA on the PFD. MCAS only ever used one AoA vane at a time. Theory was that the display would indicate an AoA vane failure to the pilots, but no procedure ever required flight crew to look at the AoA display.

The previous flight didn't realise the MCAS issue itself - they thought it was a different, older system working incorrectly (the fault was written up as "speed trim operating in reverse", or similar). I'm not sure it's fair to suggest a 'more experienced pilot' diagnosed an MCAS issue there.
