Re: Still not asking the right questions

You're being intentionally dense. These things are reported about all the time, certainly long before COVID; because it was either a professional athlete hitting the pitch/ice/field, or an amateur athlete in high school or college... The reason they were, and are, reported about is because they happ...

Re: Still not asking the right questions

Sudden cardiac events can occur at any age, even without an underlying history of cardiac issues. It's not unheard of for teenage athletes to have sudden arrests during sporting events; and in this day and age it's more reported upon with the 24 hour news cycle and social media being so prevalent.

Re: 95% Of Corpses Received COVID Vaccination Within 2 Weeks Of Death

The Stats Canada site allows you to include and/or exclude years by clicking on them at the bottom of the graphs. Pandemic years would, obviously, be 2020-2023. Compare even 2019 to the last three years for a clear indication of significantly higher mortality rates amongst the population; and going ...

https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-607-x/71-607-x2021028-eng.htm Funny, because Stats Canada data shows the opposite to what you are inferring; that there were indeed excess deaths in the years 2020-2023 - at least provisionally for this year. Note the data points from years 2014 onward, and the...

Re: Tutanota email service blocked

El Capitan is obsolete, and hasn't had an update since 10.11.6 back in July of 2016. Your computer is also obsolete by leaps and bounds. Websites, service providers, and even Apple have made it abundantly clear that users of old operating systems and hardware will have an increasingly difficult time...

Re: Ontario to Alberta via a 172

From Ottawa, the best bet would be following the Trans-Canada highway towards Sudbury, etc. But, if you've got the time and inclination to divert a bit heading South towards the Toronto area, the Tobermory area generally is nice. Head across the gap of Georgian Bay/Lake Huron to Manitoulin Island an...

According to easily accessible reporting, Ms. Carlson was diagnosed with a leaky heart valve back in 2014. So... not COVID vaccine related, or climate change.

Re: Is Westjet playing dirty?

According to Airborne's written statement, Flair has been late on lease payments for five months in a row. Going back to the car payment analogy, would any lessor be willing to tolerate multiple months of late payments? I hardly think so... If you as a lessor have a lessee whom has been tardy month ...

With history as our guide, we know full well that airlines in the throws of going under will present a facade of "all is well with the world" right up to the minute they turn out the lights and lock the doors. Flights will be operating, staff at the desks, HR doing interviews, etc. Then when the bub...

Re: The Sealand RED V12 Diesel Beaver flies!

That's pretty darned good performance for a Beaver, of any stripe, and impressive climb performance too.

Any concerns around higher cruising speeds and airframe stresses, like the DHC-3T modifications?

Re: Virgin Australia Pilot Suffers ‘Heart Attack’ 30 Minutes After Takeoff, Prompting Emergency Landing

You do realize that from the period 2007-2017, the leading cause of death worldwide was cardiovascular events causing roughly 32% of global fatalities. So... unless there's been a significant increase in cardiovascular related deaths globally, your COVID vaccine fetishism is all for not.

Based off the track log, they got up to roughly 7,300M or just shy of FL240 before righty decided it didn't feel like going to Cowtown.

The Yanks have F22s based at Elmendorf (Anchorage) Alaska, versus the F-18s at Cold Lake. The balloon over the Yukon was somewhere in the Mayo to Dawson City area... Elmendorf to Mayo is roughly 470 miles as the crow flies. Going to Dawson City would be around 380 miles. Average it out and say it's ...

Re: Could I get a Cat 4 done while waiting for my Cat 1 results?

If you held/hold a CPL, that means you had/have a Cat. 1 medical. Your medical "expires" and you can no longer exercise the privileges of your CPL, but instead you can exercise the privileges of your PPL until the end of the applicable validity period vis-a-vis your age and a Cat.3 medical. But, you...
