Did they avoid peacock feathers onstage?

Reciting lines from The Two Gentlemen of Verona and A Midsummer Night's Dream is also rumored to be helpful (from the last section).

"For the more athletically inclined, one should exit the theatre, spin around in a circle three times, and spit."

Nope. They don't really follow most superstitions. But most didn't end up with half a cast injured.

As I understand it, tryptophan can become either niacin or serotonin in metabolism.

Serotonin is the natural source of all malatonin.

Niacin and tryptophan will maximize the serotonin pathway, but this is deadly with an SSRI.


The kynuerenine pathway makes a bunch of stuff besides niacinamide aka nicotinamide.

88% to 96% of tryptophan on average iirc, gets turned into kynurenine from average intake.


LineageOS keyboard and the Trebuchet launcher would be most helpful.

I do miss keyboard symbols without shifting and icon packs.


FUTO Keyboard or Heliboard (both FOSS) will give you key symbols without shifting, as will likely several other FOSS keyboards.

FUTO is not FOSS.


The de Havilland Comet (involved in this event) also has a famously dark history as the first passenger jet.

This status was short-lived when square windows popped out of their frames at high altitude when the cabin was pressurized.

The line had a much longer service life hauling freight.

That's enough of an oversimplification as to not really be true.

They developed an issue with explosive decompressions, because at the time we didn't fully understand how cyclic stress caused metal fatigue. It is true that they had square-er windows than modern planes, but they knew that and added reinforcement. The stress concentrations inducing fatigue cracks were around square cutouts for an antenna, not the passenger windows. Also, the windows didn't pop out of their frames. Large portions of the fuselage ripped open.

And they lived a longer service life after the fuselage was reinforced in the areas that cracks were starting, but had trouble overcoming their bad reputation from the earlier explosive decompressions.

Source: the introduction to the Wikipedia article you linked. Read it.


Also: every modern airliner has windows with corners in the cockpit.

As Henry Cavill would say: “Wikipedia? You get your facts from Wikipedia?”

Not the first place I'd heard that, but I found it ironic that the parent comment's own link refuted their claims in the first couple paragraphs. And Wikipedia tends to be pretty reliable -- in a 2005 Nature analysis, Wikipedia was found to have on average less errors per article than Encyclopedia Britannica: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Press_releases/Natur...

Also as the Hawker Siddley (later BAe) Nimrod maritime surveillance aircraft.

I admit that I glossed over the section on the machining of the oil pipe, but the facility appears to bear most of the blame.

These were pulled and scrapped from the whole A380 fleet.

"Investigators also criticized the culture within the Hucknall facility that manufactured the HP/IP bearing hubs, identifying signs of complacency and widespread procedural non-compliance. A paperwork review showed that the required signatures were missing from 131 out of 138 retrospective concessions issued between 2009 and 2011, and a large number of minor non-conformances had not been properly handled through the normal chain of command."


That's an oversight failure as much as a failure of that plant.

The oversight was at the plant.

Yes, but there are levels of oversight and this kind of thing should not be possible to hide. Someone on the official side of this messed up as well.

"Aside from MTE, Google downgraded the Pixel 11 series GPU compared to the Pixel 10 series in addition to reducing RAM for base Pro models."

I will make a note not to buy this model.

Is this the worst quality control lapse since the Huawei Nexus core failures?


This isn't a quality control issue, but a beancounter-chooses-cheaper-parts issue.

One must believe that MTE was intended for use on this device, as it is present on everything down to the Pixel 6.

Everything else is in the realm of bean counters, I would think.


The GPU claim is contradicted by pretty much every benchmark though.


At that point, you had to deal with questions of interleave.

Defragmenting XFS is much less dramatic.
