Looking at the code, my guess was incorrect.
When counting the length of an article, it is not calculated correctly. It appears that this is because spaces before periods aren't stripped out before performing the count, making those periods count as their own words.
I'm too tired to figure out how to make it let me push to a branch right now. I have opened an issue that explains how to fix it.
Looks like it counts the text "AI Summary" in the word count. The article is so short it dropped one unnecessary word, resulting in one more word total.
Landing gear were down, so it was likely coming in for a landing when the incident occurred. Based on the height and positioning, maybe an attempted go-around that ended in abandoning the craft entirely.
Mario AI
One of the things Notch (of Minecraft fame) was known for before MC was a Mario remake that infinitely generated levels and had API hooks for quantifying progress. This was used in AI competitions.
Similarly, one of the old Trackmania games has been modified to output position and track info around the player along with fitness measures, allowing someone to train AIs.
It's not a conservative party, it's a big tent party. At this point the only broadly accepted party line is 'sanity.'
Far-right manipulation is so effective that they can reasonably compete with everyone else combined.

Yeah, this can be safely assumed to be bullshit.
The other dev/wife did QA and part of the mapping. It's a bit hard to finish a game without your programmer/designer.
I loved the ending of Hero of Ages. There's a novella to read partway through the second age that does some beautiful stuff around it. The second age is a very different style, but it is a lot of fun. You never regret that extra shake...
I just finished the Earthsea series by Ursula K. Le Guin. The first book is from the sixties and the final short from 2018, so it is a fascinating trip through the maturation of Fantasy. The first three books are firmly young-adult, while the last three stick with the characters as adults. The whole series ends with a very short story the author wrote to be published after her death. It's a wonderful look at the mind of an old person at the end of their story.
Recent publications include afterwords written in 2012 which give a lot of context and interesting insights into how she wrote stories.
Your description of Taco Time captures it perfectly. It should be their slogan.

They are very high on my list of things I miss from Washington.
The handheld PC market is still small. Nobody else in the digital space has taken it seriously yet.
If you look at iOS, you'll see what I'm talking about. It's effectively two products, a piece of hardware and a digital store. To beat it, you have to beat both the hardware and the store at the same time. It took the entire mobile hardware industry forming an alliance with one of the largest software companies in the world to even try to compete with it.
Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus - Incredible cast, strange film. Very enjoyable.
