Airline pilot. Surprisingly low technical knowledge required considering how computerized airplanes are.

Very true. It does very occasionally do some strange things, but then we just either disengage the autopilot, or change modes to something simpler while we try and figure out what went wrong (it’s almost always that we’ve made a mistake).

Your ordinary juice apples are not the same type of apples used to make cider, generally. Cider apples have a lot more tannin, and are generally inedible. The tannins in cider apples help give the cider depth, which would be lacking in regular apple juice. I have had luck in the past brewing up very strong tea to add to store bought juice, but it’s still not the same.

I would absolutely swap GP for Saskatoon.

I was really hoping that Lemmy was going to be safe from the nonsense “Nobody…” format. I guess not.

As much as I’d like to laugh as any Russian military stupidity, the aircraft in the picture doesn’t appear to have propellers attached, so it’s likely in some form of maintenance. Without the weight of engines and props, any strong wind over the wings is likely to move the plane around quite a lot. Putting tires on the wings disrupts the lift and helps keep the plane from moving around in storms.

A housing crash is only bad for you if you’re either outright selling, or moving to a less expensive house.

Yes, so outright selling, or moving to a less expensive house, voluntarily or not.

I bought my wife’s ring from Diamondère. She wanted a sapphire and they have a lot of non diamond options.

Or false metadata so that Russia launches a bunch of ordnance at an empty field.
