It has been a bit of a disaster really this plane. Late into production, a jumbo when the trend was for smaller planes, a production run of only 14 years.
And yet it is a remarkable aircraft to fly on. The engines are 5% quieter (and in decibels thats a lot) than the permitted noise levels.
The skin is thicker than other air craft too.
The result is a plane so quiet you can hear people talking at a normal volume many rows behind you. They are whisper quiet inside.

As an engineer, I'd argue that it wasn't an engineering marbvel, but a failure, since part of engineering is to make things that are economically viable.

The saddest thing is that the loss of jobs (on wing production) in the UK will most certainly be blamed by the media on Brexit and then echoed hysterically on social media...

Mentioned this yesterday stating how crappy the site looked on my phone now, referenced it's Fisher Price look and asked if anything had been updated recently
Got stupid replies.
Anyone else seeing this? Yext so big it can be seen from space, 5 words across the screen.
If changes have been made for the aid of the blind, roll them back or at least give me a checkbox to make the text a reasonable size.
Absolutely retarded looking.

On the train using the phone. Hoping someone has a 'Hey Muppet, do this to fix it' answer.
If not will do it when home with a full keyboard.

Ah! I thought you were talking about the actual Fisher Price site!
Just tried it in android's Maxthon and Brave apps. Didn't see anything problematic.

I just use the standard Chrome in Android 9 (Google Pixel 2 XL) and the font is now huge. I see so much less content at once and there is no reason for it.

I couldn't get CP to open at all, in chrome -- but then I remembered that I'd blocked its network access with my firewall
Opens OK -- but then I switched to opening it in desktop view, and it turned to sh1te. Have you checked that?

Trying to use a web browser on a phone is kinda askin for trouble. If they tried scaling the text, it would be too small to read.

Yeah, but it's been fine since I started using it on a regular basis back in April last year when I picked up the current job that consists of a train journey to and from. It broke Wednesday.

Surely that should be "odd, Russia wants a border wall"... zero-based arrays and all that?

That was my clue from yesterday - answer was REMOTELY (mote in rely), the missing answer was for a different clue.
