I didn't go see it because I'm burnt out on Marvel movie seemingly made MadLibs style with the same 3 predictable plots and a word bank of characters and settings.

Until people get pissed off enough to start being politically active and not just passive participants in the process. When the "high bar" is merely "showing up to vote after glancing over the candidates" what do people expect?
Get involved in local politics. Volunteer for candidates that reflect your actual ideals -- or run for a local office yourself. Actually talk to other voters about issues, form coalitions to do something about it. Annoy the shit out of your elected officials and hold them accountable. Be loud, be pissed off, and use that energy to do something other than complain on social media about it.
Anyone that actually wants change needs to realize it requires being and active participant in politics. The problem is most people don't because it's frequently frustrating, disheartening, and exhausting work just for minor change. It's a thankless slog towards a better future on top of just trying to survive.
Wait until they find out that there's a ton of "we don't know what the underlying cause is" and "we don't have a cure for that yet" in medicine. In which case you have to do your best treating the symptoms -- which is also true outside of the world of medicine.
Sometimes a temporary fix buys you time to do it right. Sometimes a perfect or even "really good" solution isn't feasible for myriad reasons: so you do the best with what you have.
Most of that stuff is still owned by the federal government and is "on loan". The municipality needs to prove they have a legitimate need/use for it, that they'll maintain the equipment, and that they won't misuse it -- or the feds will take it back.
And they do audit their "loaned" inventory.
Just disconnect the antenna and/or cover the module with something that will block any wireless signals. It's easier upfront and simple to undo when you want to sell the vehicle.
It was my go-to solution whenever I bought a vehicle with OnStar.
Just equip the airliners with modified AGM-88 HARM missiles to deal with the jammers.
That's one way to do it.
Or avionics companies could sell modern equipment that uses multiple constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo), is capable of acquiring more satellites at a time than a 20 year old system, and has basic jamming protection like ignoring spurious signals. You know: like consumer devices have been doing for years.
Then the commercial operators could install them in their aircraft.
So you do need to drain off the condensate. You can take a big bucket and collect the water to bail later
Do y'all not have condensate pumps?
I have no issue with sex scenes in media. I also think the vast majority of sex scenes are unnecessary and badly done.
There's very rarely just two sides, and sometimes assholes fight each other. Forcing reality to conform to a binary worldview is dumb.
