This brought back memories of the D.A.R.E. officer coming to my elementary classroom to give us the "don't do drugs" speech. At the end of the speech with feigning hesitation he'd pull out the drug briefcase to the cheers of the kids, like a band holding out their best song for the encore.

"This here is methamphetamine, aka crystal meth or speed. If you see a man running down the street with the strength of a bear, there's a good chance he's high on this. It's very bad. You don't want to get near this--it'll make your heart explode."

It's a wonder that didn't work.

The sole take away I got from DARE when I was a kid is “LSD sounds really cool, gotta try that someday”

Ok but what are the actual stats? I can’t imagine more than 1 percent of users have JS disabled. I think I can live without that.

I personally don’t use it because the sensors are always fiddly and if I am in an emergency I don’t want to struggle opening my phone.

I never thought this a single time. The UI is perfectly fine.

Also, "hundreds of kilograms" is not a lot if you consider how much the rest of the plane weighs --- a 737 MAX is ~100k lbs empty, so this is less than 1% of its empty weight, and a 747 is between 300-500k lbs empty.

Then again, given how airlines would cram in even 1 more passenger if they could, and the absolute minimum robustness of other mechanisms on a plane as a result of weight-saving, I think they will still chase after <1% gains.

I am surprised a 737 is only 100k lbs, I would have assumed like 250k. A blue whale weighs significantly more.
