I would add that if you need to get the flaps up after landing to get more weight on the mains you're coming in too fast.

My flaps come up on landing, to give more authority to the brakes.

Of course, it also helps to be consistent.

My suggestion. Stop using PoA. They explicitly attempt to enforce subjective rules using mind reading. Not worth the hassle dealing with the MC there.

lots of possibilities wrt "appropriate corrective actions", eh?

Very true! I much prefer a forum where these sort of mis-statements can be corrected and discussed, rather than censored.

Oh well, glad to not spend much time on PoA anymore. Who needs the headache of constantly worrying what the MC will do on a touchy subject.

Incredibly, there are still people who deny that tons of carbs leads to diabetes.

Appears those people are correct.

See https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/british-journal-of-nutrition/article/low-medium-and-highglycaemic-index-carbohydrates-and-risk-of-type-2-diabetes-in-men/EED4F576AD45BAE7CFC4CC1F5AD65CBC

Now people who eat a lot of carbohydrates often eat a lot of total calories. Sugar is very reinforcing. More calories makes you heavy which is related to type II DM.

But it likely does not really matter where the calories come from. People don’t like to hear this. But if you want to lose weight, you have to eat fewer calories and exercise more, which burns them off.

It was a government daily data report.  The people pushing the false "vaccines are deadly" narrative cherry picked two numbers from the report and produced a lie.

Strikes me as worse than cherry-picking, which is normally using a subset of the data. In this case they completely mis-interpreted the data. It is as though they simply don’t understand the difference between a rate of something occurring and the raw number of occurrences. This level of mathematical illiteracy does not surprise me at naturalnews at all.

Unless he moved, he was practicing in Peoria, Illinois. Though IL is deep blue, Peoria is somewhat conservative, being in the agricultural center of the state.  The Democrat leanings of Peoria are probably due to the Union labor of Caterpillar and other feeder industries.

His office is now at the Bolingbrook Clow airport. I believe he lives nearby.

They didn't exercise a risk vs benefit behavior.  They behaved foolishly and many paid the ultimate price for it.  Moreover, by promoting their idiocy they may have caused others to pay the ultimate price as well.  Public ridicule seems utterly appropriate.

Quite unbecoming of an associate professor I think.

Also, the numbers here are just not so overwhelming in favor of taking the vaccine that we should ridicule those who don’t.

If you are under 65, the odds of dying from COVID-19, if you catch it, are about equal to driving 17 miles to/from work each day. Very few people worry about this level of risk and think “I better change my job and commute because it is too risky”.

Similarly, the odds of seriously bad outcomes from the vaccine are likely on the order of 1-10 per 1,000,000. Not really big but not trivial either.

These tradeoffs fall in the range where reasonable people may make different choices.

Sort of like some people find the enjoyment of flying in small planes with the 1 in 1,00,000 hours risk of death worth it. Others do not. Different strokes for different folks.

These facts likely account for why 30% of doctors don’t want to immunize their young children and a fair fraction of the US population does not choose to be vaccinated.
