Two eyes, two lungs, two hands, two...

Two seems to be some kind of optimum number once you reach a certain
level of reliability, more than one and less than three. Like
long-range airliners nowadays. The four-jets are mostly money-losers
now; lumbering flying gas-tanks that carry passengers as a hobby

Or maybe it's just a byproduct of having two-way symmetry as opposed to
radial symmetry like plants.

For planes it depends not only on reliability but on having adequate
power in one engine. They still have to be able to lose one.

Planes with four engines have much more graceful degradation. Lose one engine arrive a half hour late. Lose two engines and arrive an hour late. Lose three engines and arrive two hours late. Lose four engines and you'll be up there all day.

Nuclear power plants often have three pumps where only one is needed.

if air travel demand is going to be constrained/low volume for a while
may see the 737 Max go from a pariah to a work-horse on say
trans-Atlantic routes from the US east coast to Europe. (if the carriers
and can be assured the bugs are worked out)

Lower per-seat operating cost than any widebody running those routes and
in the 138 seat config still has the range to go to and from lots of
places in Western Europe from the East Coast.

Get them out of storage and move the V 2.0 software-variety at
attractive prices

747-400 ~4*63000lbf = 252000,

777-300 ~2*98000lbf = 196000,

the 777 is a bit smaller but half as many engines to maintain with almost as much power. I believe the 777 is designed to be able to fly at least 3 hours on one engine

E.g. saying that a single cell a microsecond after conception is the
same as a full-fledged human is absurd.

Saying that a 9-month fetus one second before birth is not a
full-fledged human is absurd.

But this implies there must have been a precise time like e.g. 7:32 PM
on last Thursday that the fetus transitioned from not-human to human,
which is also absurd

Two men were brought before the Rabbi to settle a dispute. One man gives his side of the story and the Rabbi says, "Yes, I see that you are right." The other man gives his side of the story and the Rabbi says, "Yes, I see that you are right." His assistant points out that the two stories are contradictory and can't both be right. The Rabbi say, "Yes, I see that you are right also."

I flew on a 727 a few times as a kid. Looks like they were all retired
from US domestic passenger service number of years back.

I don't think I've ever been on a DC-10 or Tri-star, mostly before my
time, or a 747. Too late now I guess, at least for the first two.

The retarded fuck bounced around DC infectous for days when he

A damned sight better than a Daddy paid for 2 year failed

And oh, BTW, you r question is almost as reterded as the stupid

The Bernie fans aren't Trump fans.

And the Dems do have a weapon which you don't seem to noticed. If Trump had persuaded the US to tackle the Covid-19 epidemic as effectively as South Korea did, it would have killed many fewer Americans than it has so far. The South Korean death rate is at 4 per million population, and not going up. The US is at 45 deaths per million people, and rising rapidly. That's 14788 people. If the South Korea example had been followed, it might have been as low as 1250.

And the US is still clocking up 30,000 new infections per day. This isn't making Trump look good (not that Trump seems to have noticed).

Maybe they will try to sneak Cuomo in as the candidate. Or just write
this one off.

That would be irresponsible. Leaving Trump in charge after this screw-up isn't really an option.

Why would I whine about it? The US press has spent the last hundred years equating socialism with communism, so Bernie's professed socialism always made him a risky candidate.

Biden's got one great virtue - he isn't Trump. It would be nice if he were a more fluent speaker, but he's lasted a very long time in politics despite this apparent disadvantage, so he presumably has other skills.

Trump's only virtue seems to be his fluency - the content is rubbish, and some people have noticed.

By which John Larkin means that I don't flatter him by agreeing with his silly ideas.

Fred Bloggs has complained that I'm too optimistic about the prospects of getting a vaccine against Covid-19 anytime soon, so I can't be all that depressed.

The sick and in pain hypothesis is incorrect. John Larkin will have to reconcile himself to the fact that his fatuous ignorance is simply irritating, and temptingly easy to jeer at.
