They needed to check the plane for damage or any kind of mechanical fault that might have caused the incident, make sure they had enough information on what had happened to defeat any lawsuits, . . . and possibly wash the blood off.

The last one is from 2017, alas. The current Gentoo GUI ISO only includes KDE and fluxbox ( full package list, just in case someone's really bored and wants a look).
My understanding is that it's more for logging in industries like aerospace, where it's imperative to be sure that bolt X was tightened with force Y if you don't want the airplane to fall apart. Networking isn't the only way to do this, or even the only automated way, but I guess they didn't want to have to hook each wrench up to a USB cable at the end of every shift to download its log.
(The comments section on Ars is studded with remarks about Boeing, as you would expect.)
Hikaru no Go and Chihayafuru work because they're more about the characters than about how the game they're playing works (although in both cases, the anime does take the time to explain the game—I've never played go or karuta, but I had no trouble following what was going on). They take the standard coming-of-age concept (plus a love triangle, in the case of Chihayafuru), and do it well.
I have no intention of trying out Pon no Michi, though, since I have no reason to believe it will be up to the quality of those other series.
I still find it rather frustrating that the struggles of introverts forced to engage with the world in a way more appropriate for extroverts are ignored, but when extroverts are forced to act like introverts, it's "a crisis" and "an epidemic".
The problem is that one of the lemmy.ml admins has misconceptions about the instance that the admins of this community want to redirect traffic to, and said lemmy.ml admin has been deleting posts that so much as mention that server. That increases the difficulty of leaving a pinned pointer message.
The government-mandated fine print on the back of the box is there for a reason. If you're not willing to take the time to read it, and not willing to take the time to cook what you want from basic ingredients, then you've decided that you value time more than your health. Which is something you're allowed to do, but don't complain because you didn't think things through.
This is not the 1800s. I'd assume that everyone alive today knows that packaging is a form of advertising and therefore comes with marketing spin which walks a fine line between misleading and lying outright. Should the government regulations about advertising be tightened? Probably, but in the meanwhile, exercise common sense and assume it's all lies.
Maybe link to a community which can then link to the actual target? Both beehaw and lemmy.world have general anime communities. Not a perfect solution, granted, but it might be a usable workaround.
It's a parody (with amusingly over-the-top visual set-pieces). If you're not interested in the kind of overpowered-protagonist-isekai-with-optional-harem show it's parodying, it probably won't work for you.
Dropping this one. The first episode combined two of my pet peeves—denial of agency and people who are evil in a non-entertaining way for the sake of being evil—making it a hard nope. In fact, if this were a book, I'd throw it at the wall and then burn it to show my non-appreciation of it. Ick.
You can't completely eliminate the $2 tchotchkes. It can't and won't happen. First, because buying durable items is expensive in the short term even if it saves money in the long term (you can buy cheaper on the used market, but it has limited capacity: each item must have been purchased new by someone and then not used until it wore out). Not everyone can afford to lay out $100 to save $10 over the next five years, as an alternative to spending only $10 right now and buying a new whatzit in six months. Second, there are items you really do only need once, like favours for a kid's birthday party (actually, kid stuff in general, if you're only having one kid). Third, there are things that need to be strictly sterile when used (although those tend to cost more than $2), and disposable is several orders of magnitude easier to sterilize than reusable. We can push for products made of things like cast recycled paper pulp or biodegradable plastic where that's an option, but getting rid of all disposable products would seriously impact standards of living and expected lifespans worldwide.
You need a minimum population density for something like a tool library (or a Makerspace, which will typically have tools on hand) to work well. Say, 10 000 people within an hour's round trip? My hometown couldn't have mustered that. It's an effective solution in some places, but not everywhere. Likewise neighbourhood garage sales or swap meets or other places where people can swap tchotchkes they no longer need for other things they like better.
To put it another way: This isn't an ideal world. The majority of people had rather shoot themselves in the foot than consume less, even when they can afford to. Practical solutions need to take human selfishness into account.
A little more information has surfaced, if anyone cares: the passenger is male (or at least was referred to using male pronouns), is from Thunder Bay, and may have been having mental health issues.
