Hardwood is no joke

Absolutely, there just seems to be some in this thread (I had assumed including yourself after reading your comment) that believed all turbulence could be detected before hand.

You cant always detect turbulence before you run into it

It's unfortunately nothing new, but I do think the alternative is a new level of bad.

You should read what's done in an annual. For GA, aopa had a good article recently talking about doing the right maintenance because doing everything your AP suggests may be more intrusive and less healthy for the plane. It's not as aggressive you're claiming.

Also as others note, age matters in determining where the issue came from. Eg this almost certainly isn't a Boeing issue.

As a new pilot I really recommend watching the show Mayday Aircraft Investigations, it's very informative. The accidents are for commercial aircraft, but still I think seeing all the details and the root causes and breakdown in process is enlightening even as a private pilot.

I assume this (and really any extra mandates for landlords) is going to drive more small/private landlords out of the business, and that won't necessarily increase housing availability on its own, but will instead be filled by larger corporate landlords that can afford to deal with administrative work required. As I've gotten older, I've found small landlords to be where you can find the best experience (but also maybe the worst, it's more variable), having just corporate landlords feels like you'll always get a shittier place (minimal work done) for market rates.

It's not just furniture, piss soaking into the floor for extended periods of time can require work to fix. I bought a house that had a renter with a large dog and I had to rip up the floor to find the spot soaked through to the subfloor where the dog always peed during the day while the owner was out, it reaked.

I'm pretty immune to fucked up shit, but I didn't like reading that. I also like dogs...

There are varying levels of quality of service in different countries due to shipping infrastructure, partnerships, content restrictions, etc, and I'd say that ties into the cost.

Their manufacturing is suspect on anything new, but also the max line has several fundamental problems outside of this that have not truly been addressed.

As you mention it wasn't autopilot, the max really just isn't designed to fly well and needs a system to assist the pilots in keeping it flying in certain situations. I don't believe the issue was the pitot tubes, there are many on an aircraft of this size and they have deicing abilities. The issue was a separate sensor, of which there was only one (which breaks traditional standards of having at least 3) and that sensor sent incorrect data causing the mcas to nose dive the plane.

That's issue 1. There is also the issue with engine deicing that can catastrophically destroy the engines if left on for 5+ minutes with no ice (wtf?? Pilots are used to a system that can be left on with no harm), as well as insecure bolts, and now this door plug not being secure. Boeing is not a company to trust anymore and MD had a similar record before their board took over Boeing, so it's not a surprise.

The FAA already grounded their fleets.
