As others have said, it's far too early to attribute blame. But beyond that, airspace control philosophy is basically that everyone deserves to be in the sky. The collision occured at 400 feet which is a very normal place for a helicopter to be. This occured very near the approach end of a runway, which is more unusual, but doesn't mean they're automatically in the wrong for being "anywhere close to a commercial jet's flight path".

Navy variants of the Blackhawk do not have TCAS. I can only assume the army is similarly lacking that function.

It's balanced by light switches being outside of the bathroom, which I absolutely hate.

Sports is a big one that comes to mind. Or competition shows people want to live vote for.

My cat will meow at me and wake me up so that he can crawl under the covers and basically be the little spoon.

Definitely produce only, would not work for meat at all. But still helps cut down on the single use plastic.

I also legitimately loved this movie. Wonderful balance of satire and comedy.

They make reusable produce bags that work great! Usually a mesh cotton or a nylon (but reusable).

I'm a pilot on Lemmy! But I'm pretty sure I'm not facing jail time right now.

Thanks for the response! Definitely fair that the OP had the assumption of America-centric or at least credit card specific.

As to the scam, the unfortunate reality is that the price is already higher to account for fees, and it makes no difference if you pay cash or card. So Americans have the choice to either pay cash or pay card with cash back, even if the price is the same. Also there are better protections in the states for credit card purchases than debit card purchases, so there's an advantage there as well.

I'm curious about what you mean by credit card scam, in this context. Care to elaborate?

Nothing so fancy. Just a bamboo press on springs with tightening nuts. Not even sure on the brand. Bought it to make sure I'd like it/get use out of it, and it's been going strong for 6 years or so.
