Role model articulated bus: Boeing presents first articulated aircraft

The successful articulated model is literally 'taking off': Boeing is the first aircraft manufacturer to present a so-called articulated aircraft [...] whose fuselage can be bent at the rear. This is intended to ensure flexible curved flight with higher passenger numbers.

The Boeing 777 HINGE is a new variant of the popular long-haul aircraft. Thanks to the hinge, its fuselage can now accommodate up to 800 passengers - without just 550. Despite its extra length, the aircraft is as maneuverable and easy to handle as previous models, [...] particularly important for narrow airports and bendy approach paths.

ROFL :-)

I can see a Chinese Dragon motif painted on the plane. Lol.

Air New Zealand already took off with that idea.

Looks like a movie promotion deal. Fly with Smaug.
This dragonair looks pretty good.

Dragging along, I just contacted Left Coast EV, I wanted to see if there was any way to upgrade my car, of course I did this via email, this is what they do, but I'll see if they respond or not, I may actually have to call them and talk to someone.

I wanted to see if they mean what is said there or not by:
" "If they say it can’t be done, you’ve been talking to the wrong people.” -Reverend Gadget"

Horrors, eek, people! /S

Siri's new AI smarts fail at sports trivia, claims Philadelphia Eagles won 33 Super Bowls

Facepalm: Apple's much-hyped Siri integration with ChatGPT may have added a ton of useful functionality, but it's apparently done little to improve the digital assistant's knowledge of sports. A damning report highlights just how abysmally Siri performs at recalling simple facts like past Super Bowl winners.

According to the report from One Foot Tsunami's Paul Kafasis, when asked "Who won Super Bowl?" for each number from 1 through 60, Siri correctly provided the winner for only 20 out of the 58 Super Bowls that have been played so far. That translates to a success rate of just 34%.

That translates to a success rate of just 34%.

For a fiction generator that may be too high a success rate.

I get the name but it is cringe worthy.
What if the United States, Mexico and Canada joined together?

Languages can be learned. But there can only be one understanding of "The law". Which one?

• Constitutional law, e.g. Mexico's 'Codigo Civil' (like all continental European constitutional laws, based on Napoleon's "Code civil") or
  
• Anglo-American case law
  

A diametrically, irreconcilable difference. It is easier to form a common federal state out of the EU 'federation' of 26 nations, now that Brits have left.

On the other hand, the Canadians somehow must have handled this in the past (French influenced Quebec vs. British states). But, I remember that British appeasement of Frenchmen's interests (religion, laws, regions with different legal practice, etc.: Quebec Act) was one of the many reasons which ignited the American Revolution.

So, if the Americans are eager to lay the seeds for another Civil War in the future... then go ahead...

I remember my American history and it was over Taxation without representation, Quebec had nothing to do with it. Parliament would not admit any colonist, and in so doing lit the fuse of rebellion, this was over Acts like the Tea Act or the Stamp Act, having British troops quartered in peoples homes, etc, etc, etc.

At least that is what was in the history books that I read back then.

Quite McDuck. But America has that now. Louisiana uses French common law as its basis, while the other 49 states use English common law.

Writing down the rules of common law is the only way to resolve such conflicts, so everyone agrees.

I didn't know that.

So over time, in a modern society where previously closed ethnic groups are now mixing through domestic migration and further migration from other states, after centuries a regionally separated legal practice remains. And everyone has come to terms with it at some point (probably because learning French is no longer compulsory, (different than in Quebec)). Interesting.

I meant the British anexation of all territories North of the Ohio river to their French-influenced Quebec Province which blocked any further expansion of most of the Thirteen colonies to the west, across the Appalachians:

That I think later became the Northwest Territories in the US.

The region was ceded to the United States in the Treaty of Paris of 1783. Throughout the Revolutionary War, the region was part of the British Province of Quebec and the western theater of the war.

Some of these should be right place right time.
