  • There is more that goes into an airplane than the people maintaining or assembling it, which can and does go afoul. There is the entire manufacturing process, how materials are sourced, processed, refined, machined/formed, heat treated, stress relieved, coated/plated, assembled, and the list goes on. That is a major factor why aircraft are so safe and if you think China’s material and process controls are as rigorous as someone like Boeing or Airbus, it isn’t. It has taken decades of actual aircraft manufacturing to get the formula right for those respective companies and they continue to evolve as time goes on and new information is learned.







  • I’ve enjoyed reading many of these comments and I wanted to expand a bit on the reason for the question.

    Several friends of mine would camp for several days and do the kind of things guys do. Then we’d realize we’re kind of gross, rude, not attractive, have a lot of shortcomings, and generally not full of great qualities. But, we’ve all been married a long time and will ask ourselves why in the hell did our wives agree to marry ugly, gross fools like us? We know why we married them; they’re far better people than we are! My wife is obviously smarter than me and it isn’t even a fair comparison.

    In the end, I guess we make them laugh and are extremely wealthy.

    I lied about the extremely wealthy part. I meant borderline poor.







  • Like others on here, I did not renew my subscription for Prime. You could see where they were heading and the cost/benefit ratio is not there.

    My wife shops on Amazon way more than me and she has never had Prime. Not having 2 day shipping never (ad in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1; Here at Target we >>Skip) bothered her and she never watched shows on there other than what you already have to rent to watch even with Prime.

    I encourage others to drop it, give it a spin, see how you (ad in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1; Don’t let psoriasis get >>Skip) enjoy a little extra jingle in your pockets.
