Let me guess, you were killed in a plane crash

Nope. I wanna keep it that way. I’ve flown on 737’s where the engines keep making little sparks the entire flight… As an ex solarturbines engineer I can tell you that that’s not normal and can lead to flying blades which can slice right thru the plane body and you like butter. They have a cover around the blades that is supposed to stop them. But I don’t trust it since I haven’t seen the test videos at vehicle speed. But that’s just one minor issue. I’ve been on a plane landing in Bohol the Philippines where some “minor” damage was promptly patched using duct tape.
My job used to take me places. That’s probably the only reason to travel… For science, education, or for a job. Not for going to another sushi place or to see a building or a pyramid. The worse travel is for nothing… Carnival cruise ships. And also for things… China made stuff you buy from temu.
