Pretty much the same plan as the Republicans, right? They were all about burning it down but plenty of them are arriving at the “Dude!” stage.

“Hypocrisy.”

Icanhas and Failblog were hilarious back in the day. I think that CEO Ben whatshisname wrecked it by commercializing it.

The same people that say the economy is shit because life’s hard and they can’t get ahead are the same ones that point out that the president says the economy is doing great whenever someone criticizes him.

Fix the American government, education system, and legal system.

Thanklessly.

It won’t be fixed in one term, probably not two, maybe see it start to work a decade after they leave office.

It’s going to take years to earn back trust, but no matter what happens, America will never have the power it used to have.

Interestingly, statistics reveal that over 95 percent of passengers involved in a plane crash survive, underscoring the importance of preparation and awareness in ensuring safety during flights.

Wrong again, genius. You need to stop, now.

I’m sure they’re the same self-centered people exiting the burning aircraft with their carry-on bags.

A name I never thought I’d know, and will now try to forget.

Wrong on all counts.

You have no clue how little some people fly, and some may only fly a few times in a lifetime. The safety briefing is for them, not jaded geniuses that don’t count the seat rows to the nearest emergency exit.

I was not able to find a source I find reliable, but there are many sites that suggest elephants recognize individual humans and recognize guns as threats, and can even recognize a gun pointed at them is a threat. So if someone they don’t know has a gun, and we’ll never know if he aimed one at an elephant for funsies, they may have identified him as a threat and defended themselves by killing him.

You’re conflating two things. One is GPS, which is designed to stop functioning above 1,000 knots to prevent it from being used in a missile.

The other is the interference of which I spoke having to do with electronics like cellphones that operate at harmonics that overlay frequencies used by aircraft navigation systems. It can be demonstrated that they do indeed interfere, but so many things have to happen to make the interference happen it’s wildly unlikely. So many things have changed over the years that prevent this from happening, like cellphones operate at lower power, personal electronics are better shielded, and operate at lower power. On top of that, the aircraft’s RF and EM shielding would have to be damaged in just the right spot, and the electronic device would have to be right near the damage.

As far as cell towers go, most phones are too weak to make a good connection from all but the lowest altitudes, and you’re moving fast enough that it can’t handshake the next tower and negotiate the connection quick enough to have a good connection except maybe st the slowest speeds and altitude on approach for landing.

I did a minor study on this exact subject, but it’s been decades, so the details are fuzzy.

I don’t think that.

The odds of any phone interfering, interfering with a critical system, interfering with that system at a critical time, and interfering substantially enough to cause a deviation that would be not caught by the crew, and the deviation was significant enough to cause damage…are miniscule.

Turn your phone off to hear the safety briefing.

I just think you’re an asshole who is apparently too good for the rules or request of the flight crew.

This would seem to be the better route. Unless the owner has reported the vehicle stolen, they certainly know who is driving it and should still be responsible for letting the other person drive. Sorry, snitch them out if you don’t like thousands in fines. Deliberately using “you can’t prove it was me” while racking up fines with the expectation of getting away with it has to have some limits.

Anyone with half a brain that receives an unknown data storage device is going to plug that in to an air gapped computer, preferably running a linux distro, and a base install with basic tools and AV software to look at a potentially damaging device and hopefully clean it. If it does contain malware that successfully wrecks the computer, just wipe and reinstall. Better yet if it has a CD drive so no malware can infect the reinstallation media/live install.

It’s been around for several years. It’s probably been passed around so much that the image quality degraded and someone sharpened it with AI which disrupted the text.

I saw this probably 6-7 years ago on reddit, the answer was that the appliance was attempting to download and install an update, then failing the update for some reason, so it was constantly re-downloading the patch all day.

Nothing nefarious or AI slop (other that some crappy image correction) about this.

Yeah, we’re headed toward Ubik rules alright.

Sometimes when there’s no CoD given for a young person it’s suicide or overdose. People are more willing to share something like “after a courageous battle with cancer…” and not share something that might be considered tarnishing like an addiction.

In your example, many browsers will do simple math or conversions in the address bar without AI, and google gave that same answer prior to AI with a simple conversion menu box that showed up as you said. It still does sometimes depending on the question.

More realistically it would be “How long is a Boeing 747?” Now an AI will give you a length range and offer that there are different 747 models manufactured in different years, etc.

So instead of clicking on an ad-supported “aviation info” site like you say, odds are the asker will just take the provided summary and not proceed any further, or refine the question to a specific model that again an AI will probably answer, even possibly ironically scraping the content from the very same “aviation info” site that would have received your click 5 years ago, but now google gets the view and the site doesn’t.

If you realize your employer is full of BS, you’re already there.

Take it further, and watch out in media for statements like “Market downturn makes Billionaire Bob millions poorer.” Bob the Billionaire will never be poor, and we shouldn’t give a shit about Bob’s billions in wealth that won’t change his day one iota.

Or… “labor costs are the reason we are losing money.” While handing the c-suite bonuses.

Or… “if you take a vacation you’ll be hurting the team.”
