> While I think an update to the Apache version is a good idea, this is a very low quality report.

It's still a report, which should be handled with seriousness and professionalism. What that app developer did was neither.


American Airlines already has around 450 Airbus aircraft, its not news that they are training their Airbus trainers on a new route.

>> There is a lot of police bodycam footage on YouTube

As far as I know there is only police bodycam footage from one incident in 2022 involving Hannah Hoekstra and participant the police were insisting on interviewing even though they did not want to be interviewed.

Can you link to bodycam footage from other incidents?


She herself did not refuse for the first 20 minutes but instead the event organizer did it for her blocking access to her until getting arrested. it is not only obvious but the law which they where told numerous times that the actual alleged victim has to refuse not some self assigned party karens cops.

If your event needs multiple SA help teams that obstructs police maybe there is an issue.


There are lead free primers, they are slightly less reliable, but they are out there and a lot of the "eco" ammunition has them.


In addition to Federal Syntech there is Speer Lawman, which is a bullet type called TMJ or Total Metal Jacket. Lawman has lead free primers. There is a green box variant called RHT that does not use lead in the bullets.


> That was the whole point of MCAS, to make the plane fly as-if it were an older model, despite the significantly different aerodynamics.

MCAS was implemented to make sure the control forces increase going into a stall, this is a requirement in the regulations. Without MCAS the control forces would drop on the way into a stall, which is an issue that would prevent certification of the aircraft.


As with all but the first few 737s, it was assembled at Renton. The door plug was installed in Wichita by Spirit Aerosystems and there were issues with rivets in the surrounding structure that Spirit removed the plug to correct in Renton.

As a result of this Boeing is now refusing to sign off on fuselages with defects found at Spirit to be transported to Renton. And also Boeing will be buying back Spirit, which had been spun out of Boeing by the McDonall-Douglass management that took over Boeing when McDonall-Douglass bought Boeing with Boeings own money.



Ty!


This is ancedata, but the article says all pyrex cookware made after 1998 used soda-lime glass, but I do have an amount of pyrex cookware that appears to be made of borosilicate that I purchased between 2005 and 2013ish. I base this on the older pyrex having a clear and un-colored consistency that matches my Corning PYREX labware (also used in the kitchen) and the newer stuff having a green tint to it that matches other soda-lime glass.

Personally I suspect that they phased out borosilicate glass in pyrex cookware between 2006 and 2009 and the lag in my ancedata is from slow stock turnover at the local supermarket. This would line up with the exploding glass incidents cited in the article.

What may be a more plausible explanation to the exploding pyrex mystery is the proliferation of marble and other cut rock countertops. These countertops have a very high thermal mass and placing a just out of the oven casserole dish on them, even if completely empty, will most likely cause it to shatter from the rapid cooling of the base.

So, as a kitchen safety tip, don't put hot glassware directly on countertops, use a trivet, dry kitchen towel or potholder.


This is good advice even if you are using a steel or cast iron bowl and a cheaper countertop because replacing countertop is expensive even with cheap materials.


Thermal stress wears most objects.

It's hit or miss but the loss of trust and goodwill occurred and hasn't been reversed. It's safer to not buy their new stuff so to not reward them for resting on their brand laurels. There are plenty of old and other borosilicate products to avoid them.


What he means by "I do not foresee any smartphone app ever being approved for this purpose." is that a commodity smart phone is an insecure platform, so the military will not be approving any app designed for a commodity smart phone.

And by insecure here, he and I mean that its not a platform designed and manufactured to meet the large number of requirements for handing classified information. It may be secure in the sense of industry standards or conventions, but its not secure in the sense of military information security.
