We tested Comac parts for FAA certification. When you’ve tested parts for decades you can pretty much nail down the cause of the failure be it design, process, materials, a combination and so forth.
Also the c919 is only certified in China. It can’t fly in the US or Europe.
There is more that goes into an airplane than the people maintaining or assembling it, which can and does go afoul. There is the entire manufacturing process, how materials are sourced, processed, refined, machined/formed, heat treated, stress relieved, coated/plated, assembled, and the list goes on. That is a major factor why aircraft are so safe and if you think China’s material and process controls are as rigorous as someone like Boeing or Airbus, it isn’t. It has taken decades of actual aircraft manufacturing to get the formula right for those respective companies and they continue to evolve as time goes on and new information is learned.
Clever and I get the joke and it made me smile. If I recall my biology from 20 years ago I think the cell makes duplicates of its chromosomes then splits apart. So you have two cells inside one membrane that separates, 2 / 1 = 2. The way I first thought about it was one cell splitting in half, so half goes to one cell, the other half with the other, 1 / .5 = 2.
In short, I think the math works out fine, but the language you use to describe it can lead to comedy gold. You could say cells reproduce by division? I don’t know, I’m not a biologist or mathematician. I’m a toilet poster.

I love this line, “…is an asteroid-sized moon orbiting a few thousand miles (or kilometers) above the Martian surface…” A few thousand miles…or kilometers, we don’t care, pick your favorite.
There are no shortcuts. Only short bridges.
Is the faucet giving the pasta a blowjob?
Hello. Yes, I’d like one nightmare for the evening, please.
What a waste of a $200+ text book!
The aim of the clause was to prevent scalping of the truck.
Hamas says the fighting must stop before hostages can be released. Israel said fighting will stop after hostages are released.
180 degrees apart, going round and round on the carousel of carnage.
@blackluster117 With freakin’ laser beams attached to their heads, yes!
This is my day today, except throw a few sharks in there.
Missing rung on lower end causes baby to slip out prior to launch half the time. Launch distance is subpar compared to other yeet machines.
I know it was made for Victorian babies but mine is Edwardian. One out of five stars, would not recommend.
Life IS hard which us why I don’t have time to care much about the more superficial things in life. Your Door Dash food is cold? Well, cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it! My sh*tter’s full and my only other option is a log in the poison ivy patch!
Knowing my luck I’ll get the Poltergeist house.
I’m just glad people are still naming their kids Tony.
A good portion of that half that died are the fuckers I stumbled upon in the woods that ended up stinging me.
I just woke up and read the headline as “highly photogenic bird flu”
