  - oh yes, the cockpit is secured like in the US* -- (edited) - ty97 Feb 16, 12:35 2

    - That blows my mind. -- nm - David Feb 16, 12:55
    - its all the Germans fault!! -- nm - decline Feb 16, 12:40 1
      - "Volkswagen had the highest recall rates with 1,805 per 1,000 cars sold" - Spawn Feb 16, 13:47
- Perhaps the word "recall" makes people recall the pinto recall. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 12:32 4

    - he definitely didnt write this one. he does speak in the 3rd person. But not like this or with this syntax. -- nm - Jovian Feb 16, 12:24 1
      - Maybe he's been trying out chatGPT as an assistive device -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 13:43
- wtf is a 'perfect phone call'? -- nm - Andie Feb 16, 12:22 3
  - Unimpeachable -- nm - mara Feb 16, 13:07
  - Generally I take it to mean he managed to answer the phone without sexually assaulting anyone -- nm - rollo Feb 16, 12:30
  - hehe, that's been his line for almost 4 years now with this. Maybe longer?? He used the same with Ukraine impeachment. -- nm - Jovian Feb 16, 12:23

  - Yes. -- nm - zunkskunk Feb 16, 12:40
  - I’m pretty sure I have at some point. -- nm - znufrii, promoted Feb 16, 12:33
