During the peak of the great purge, it was quickly becoming pointless. A lot of results were bringing up deleted posts. It took a while for search engines to catch up and start filtering a lot of those results out.

In regards to the editing part, sure, I'm sure they can track your edit history. However, on a large scale, most edits are going to be to correct things. To determine if an edit was to poison the text, it would likely require manual review and flagging. There's no way they're going to sift through all of the edits on individual accounts to determine this, so it's still worthwhile to do.

The trick is to turn everything into randomized garbage and then delete it later. A lot of those purge services offer that feature. It just swaps the words with others; so on the surface it looks like proper written text, but it makes absolutely no sense.

Aside from removing your content that they're profiting from, it also feeds AI scrapers pure garbage in the event that your content is restored.

It's Ark, Pokemon, and BOTW thrown into a blender and filtered down to the good bits.

Review your contract. If you aren't month-to-month, tell them to pound sand.

You'd be surprised. We only do that on the ground, though.

Devs started making changes that killed a lot of fun to, presumably, appeal more to CoD players. Some of the balancing decisions also made a lot of the guns a bit less exciting to use and made most of them essentially the same thing. The two most popular classes (medic and sniper) have been nerfed to oblivion. It feels like they are trying really hard to curate a very specific experience, and that seems to have burned out a lot of people or driven others away.

Personally, I think they should have leaned harder in the direction of more realism and rewarding creativity.

MD was going out of business. Boeing bought them, but for some reason put the executives from MD in charge of Boeing after the merger. Boeing is now prioritizing cost savings over quality, cutting down worker and training, and has been suffering from quality issues since the merger.

I feel like I'm saying this on an almost weekly occurrence:
McDonnel-Douglas ruined Boeing.

Aside from that, it's more appropriate to call them McBoeing these days.

Modern ones are solid state and the owner can choose how long they want to record for. Most ETOPS aircraft will record for much longer than 2 hours. I believe my airline records for 25 hours, even though our aircraft are not based in Europe.

Boeing doesn't have to fulfill that requirement. The CVR manufacturers will. Most likely it's Honeywell or L3. Boeing will just have to install upgraded CVRs on new aircraft, while airlines will need to update if the FAA ever gets around to updating the requirements.

I refuse. 18-20% is for outstanding service, not normal service. Personally, I would rather see tipping go away
