Cool, so only criminals who are slightly dedicated to breaking the law get guns and no one else. Got it.

The JetBlue pilot has no idea what the other crew was doing. The military flies due regard all the time and when they do, it is on them to deconflict with traffic. The JetBlue pilot might have been surprised by them but they almost certainly weren’t surprised by JetBlue and would have deviated if it actually got close.

Most of the world doesn’t have decent primary radar, especially out over international waters like where this occurred. Likely just a low frequency radar that can say “yup, there’s something out there” but not “he is right there.” The world works on transponders.

So they were 3-ish, maybe 5 miles away with altitude separation over international water? That’s actually fairly routine.

I added a few domains based on what the TV was pinging. I can look them up when I get home.

Pi hole and block LG’s servers. You can’t just opt out. It will wait for a power outage to opt you back in or “critical security patch” and they’ll force it anyway.

Sweet, I contributed to both those categories.

Unfortunately this is from a Chinese company and China will never make it illegal; hell they’re more likely to pass a law requiring ILIFE to share the personal data with the government than tell them not to collect them. This could be enforced for US based companies but as long as we buy luxury goods from China this is going to be a fact of life.

Damn, I was hoping to upgrade my ram in the next 6 months. When I built my PC last winter I couldn’t find any decent 64gb sticks so I went with 46gb instead figuring I’d upgrade when they got reasonable. Oh well, guess I’m rocking them for a bit longer.

But supposedly we’re getting kei cars, so at least there’s that.

That’s the thing, they aren’t buying up “troubled” things, they’re looking for high return investments to future proof them against the decline of oil or anything that buys them western influence or street cred. A disgraced, homicidal, drug using pilot isn’t any of those things.

He might be able to get away with a flying gig somewhere in the world but not in any first or second world and most third world countries. Saudi is way too on top of their shit to allow his dumb ass in a cockpit again; his only options are truly the bottom of the barrel worldwide.

 

Wouldn’t you know it, a screenshot of an anonymous post on the internet claiming that it discharged while inside a holster appears to not be accurate.

 
 

A Texas appeals court upheld two injunctions in a pair of legal cases Friday, in an order blocking the state’s Department of Family and Protective Services from investigating families of transgender youth who are seeking gender-affirming medical care for their children.

 

Hello, I’m starting a project to build something for a friends kid who’s father is a Huey pilot. I ordered the switch/panel in the image and want to 3d print an enclosure to mount it on that plays the song when the switch is in the on position.

Per the website the switch is fully functional, I just need to wire it to something to use it. Does anyone have suggestions on a bare bones controller to use and how to set it up to play an MP3 so long as the switch is in the on position? In a perfect world I would love for it to resume the position if it’s quickly toggled but restart if it sits more than a minute or so but realistically just playing the song would be more than enough.

While I’m new to Raspberry Pi I’m not that daunted by the task. I’ve been soldering since elementary school and have a degree in comp sci, but haven’t done any coding since graduating 10+ years ago. I do have a Pi hole but using an off the shelf package on a premade pi with step by step instructions doesn’t really count as “experience” for pi in my opinion.

Any suggestions are welcome, especially if someone can recommend some mini speakers that actually sound half decent. I’m not looking to tear a Bose Bluetooth apart but something slightly less tin-canny than a 2004 Nokia ringtone would be nice.

Thanks in advance!

 
 
 

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A new California law that bans people from carrying firearms in most public places was once again blocked from taking effect Saturday as a court case challenging it continues.

A 9th Circuit Court of Appeals panel dissolved a temporary hold on a lower court injunction blocking the law. The hold was issued by a different 9th Circuit panel and had allowed the law to go into effect Jan. 1.

Saturday’s decision keeps in place a Dec. 20 ruling by U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney blocking the law. Carney said that it violates the Second Amendment and that gun rights groups would likely prevail in proving it unconstitutional.

The law, signed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, prohibits people from carrying concealed guns in 26 types of places including public parks and playgrounds, churches, banks and zoos. The ban applies regardless of whether a person has a concealed carry permit.

Was just given a streamlight wedge at work and so far I’m really liking it. It’s not anything super special but it’s bright enough for what I need and the form factor is amazing. Much more comfortable in a pocket and sits flat even when wearing a harness over it. Battery life has been sufficient too, I’m yet to ever have any issues with occasional top offs every few days.
