They don't even hide their racism
  • OP's post image is probably a still image from a video of him ripping someone a new one in committee.

  • chicken rule
  • Insisting on using a system that is well documented to make shit up out of nowhere just means you're both lazy and a poor decision maker.

    Especially when there's no inherent gain from its use like corporate executives solely trying to reduce their biggest expense (payroll) without any other consideration.

  • Transfer file between ios and android wireless without internet connection
  • Android has Quick Share, and there's a Windows app as well, but there is no iOS support, just like AirDrop isn't available on Android.

    A regular bluetooth file transfer would be an option, but again Apple has never supported that either, because they want you to use AirDrop in their walled garden.

    There is probably a third party app, but everything I've ever seen needs a middle server to facilitate the transfer.

    You could always use a USB drive, not optimal, but it is an option that both support. Depending on the iPhone you might need an adapter if it still uses the Lightning port instead of USB-C.

  • It's the party of projection. Everything they talk about is solely because that's what they are doing/would do if given the opportunity.

  • Sweden set to rent cells in Estonian jails as it runs out of room for its prisoners
  • Considering the entire prison population was about 7,500 last year and they only have about 5,000 beds across all facilities... That's a pretty large percentage.

    And to add to that, from this specific article:

    According to a recent Kriminalvården report, Sweden’s prison population could – in the most extreme scenario – grow from 7,800 this year to 41,000 in 2034 as a result of more punitive policies driven by the far right.

    They're looking at a 500% increase in the prison population within a decade because of the new policies. If that's not a shift towards mass incarceration I'd like to know what your definition would be.

  • Making your bed is, at best, a performative waste of time...
  • I honestly feel like this is some sort of genetic thing. Even kittens, who have never had a chance to be taught this, somehow know exactly when the most inopportune time is and seem to focus on getting it just right.

  • Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet?
  • Scientific education rather than emotional reactions to the unknown does that.

  • Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet?
  • If you were to take all of that nuclear waste ever produced in the US, processed and stored inside dry cases, it would fit within an American football field less than 100 ft high. That's an insanely tiny amount of space for all the waste ever created for an entire type of energy production. For some comparison the amount of coal removed from the ground each year would form a cube over a mile wide.

    However, most nuclear waste is low level waste and decays within a decade or less. Some of the medium level waste lasts a few decades. The longer stuff is a small fraction of overall waste. But some of it can be reprocessed and used as fuel again. It is also perfect for the starter fuel for some Thorium-based nuclear breeder reactor designs. Some are useful for various nuclear medicines. Very little of it actually has no use whatsoever.

  • Air India Boeing 787 crash report says fuel switches cut off
  • How were the switches designed such that they prevented accidental activation? Because it looks like they just get simply flipped down. Could it be pull-out-and-down? Or maybe there's a lot of resistance during the switch action?

    The lever-lock fuel switches are designed to prevent accidental activation - they must be pulled up to unlock before flipping, a safety feature dating back to the 1950s. This isn't a new or weird design. It's essentially the standard used in basically every plane because it works.

    "It would be almost impossible to pull both switches with a single movement of one hand, and this makes accidental deployment unlikely," a Canada-based air accidents investigator, who wanted to remain unnamed, told the BBC.

  • This is again a reminder to anyone in the armed forces that while service does mean citizenship, you do not receive it by default. You must fill out the paperwork and follow through to ensure you receive it and don't fall through the cracks.

  • Man Afraid to Ride Subway Named Head of NASA
  • It's ironic that his original pick, while a blatant issue due to nepotism and coming from Elon... Jared Isaacman does actually know Space and has experience in orbit. Anyone that's experienced the Overview Effect is almost surely a better option for leading NASA than most other choices, especially this dude.

    The time to complain en masse was before the law was passed in the first place. But most people worldwide now seem to not give a shit about authoritarian policies hidden behind bullshit like "think of the children" laws.

  • Switch 2 owner banned for playing second-hand Switch 1 games
  • This is why they're going after emulators so heavily. They know their decisions are anti-consumer and will drive buyers away. So they're trying to force anyone that wants to play a Nintendo property to have to pay them for the lackluster crap they want to release going forwards.

    They've decided to let the finance guys run the company now and lost their way like so many other companies. 1889-2025, it was a good 136 year run, much longer than most.

    NASA orders more tests on Starliner, but says crew isn’t stranded in space

    NASA and Boeing officials pushed back Friday on headlines that the commercial Starliner crew capsule is stranded at the International Space Station but said they need more time to analyze data before formally clearing the spacecraft for undocking and reentry.

    Search in settings crash

    When in Summit settings, searching for "mu" causes an immediate app crash to home screen as soon as the U is typed. No option to report issues or submit feedback.

    Only have this device to test at the moment, but I can get it to do it every time.
