  • It’s a good question and you made me curious so I looked it up.

    Boeing has been under intense public scrutiny in recent years, largely due to high-profile issues involving the 737 Max and ongoing quality-control concerns with the 787 Dreamliner. These headlines have fueled a perception that Boeing aircraft may be less safe than Airbus jets. However, a closer look at hard data from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) tells a very different story—one where both manufacturers operate at extremely low accident rates.

    Between 2014 and 2024, the NTSB recorded only two to six mechanical-related aviation accidents per year in the United States. These events involved engine malfunctions, landing-gear issues, or minor component failures—none of which resulted in fatalities. Considering that more than six million flights occur annually in U.S. airspace, the rate of true aircraft-related failures is remarkably low.

    When these incidents are weighted by the number of flights operated, Boeing and Airbus show nearly identical safety performance. Raw numbers may make Boeing appear worse at first glance, but that imbalance stems from one simple fact: roughly three times more Boeing aircraft fly in U.S. airspace compared to Airbus. In other words, Boeing appears more frequently in U.S. accident logs because it dominates the American fleet, not because its aircraft are inherently less safe.









  • Most souls likes. The marketing on those games is pure genius. No budget for an actual story? No problem! Let’s hide some nebulous lore in item descriptions so youtubers can sell their head cannon as “the story”. Oh there’s only enough money for 8 hours of gameplay? I have a solution! Let’s remove the save system everyone got used to these past 20 years so the player has to constantly redo our content just to get to the boss he’s trying to beat. We’ll sell that unecessary tedium as “difficulty”. And people are gobbling that stupid mechanic up because it allows them to flaunt their e-peen, although it just shows they have more time time than skills.





  • The important part:

    “The real problem is not where the software comes from, but the logic behind it: namely, the automated merging and scanning of massive amounts of data by an intelligence agency.” Bünger, referring to relevant rulings by the Federal Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht, BVerfG), advocates for clear legal regulations with strict limits and effective oversight. “Otherwise, fundamental rights are violated,” she said.
