preliminary information indicated an “in-flight emergency” was to blame, without offering more details.

I’ll be interested to read more when it’s available. I’ve been on a similar tour.

Such accidents have occurred before. In 2022, seven people were killed in a plane crash, including two Chileans and three Dutch nationals.

In October 2010, four British tourists and two Peruvian crew members died when an AirNasca plane crashed after taking the tourists to view the site.

Just small planes being more dangerous?

Not a lot of reporting in it yet, but I see an article from 404 media. Maybe I’ll donate to them instead.

Find this reference on Reddit.

I think I’ll stop my donations. Nothing gets executives’ attention like dropping revenue. I read a lot of exec responses to employee dissatisfaction at other big tech companies that basically said ‘too bad if a bunch of you are unhappy, the company is doing great so we’re right, you can leave.’

Green guy does not look thrilled to be next.

Ah right, this was BMW too:

For the past few years, BMW has behaved in a way that seems to treat their buyers as targets for more revenue over everything else. Remember all their subscription bullshit? People hated that, and worked around it, and eventually BMW had to dial that back, because having a subscription for heated seats makes people want to riot.

So, definitely on the “don’t even consider” list.

But only if you shared the generated link on some crawlable page? Or did they leak a list of share links so crawlers found them? The latter seems much more serious, and I can’t tell which it was from reading a couple articles.

Yeah, I can already find more bugs than can be fixed on schedule just by looking in the Jira backlog.

What tool to cut them off without damaging surroundings? Just a circular saw?

I’m kinda impressed they can all fly the same speed, given drastically different wing shapes.

Yeah, I guess the backoff stages would prevent resetting the phone, but it would still be pretty easy for a kid to make the phone unusable for several hours.

Have these people never met children?

Whereabouts in the southwest? Looks like it could be New Mexico.

Yeah, I hand wash non-stick and hand wash cast iron, and the food usually leaves the cast iron cleaner (not to mention the induction only making a humming noise with the non-stick). I’ve been using cast iron a lot more lately.

Cross-posted! (I kinda wish cross-posts shared comment threads.)

I used vuegraf to publish MQTT from my Emporia Vue, which OpenEVSE can natively consume. I’m running Mosquitto for my MQTT broker.

I’ve considered flashing my Vue with ESPHome, which people say would make this even easier, but haven’t yet.

What other details would be useful?

I learned Ansible for this purpose, so all the modified configs live in a git repo. I still get lazy and modify some things directly (looking at you Minecraft plugins) but a lot of it is pretty easy to set up via IaC.

So, about $2M over 5 years. I wonder how far that would have gone for better sanitation on the farms.

Thanks for the terminology correction!

Removing the lights, taking the nails out, and untwisting the antenna lowered the SWR but didn’t improve the tuning.

Moving it away from the 4x4 pillar, anywhere from 3" to several feet, fixed the tune.

I ended up using wood standoffs, since I didn’t have plastic, which seems to work fine.

Many of the most practical uses I’ve heard for AI are cleaning up messes AI caused.

A five-kilometer beam would not illuminate only its paying customer. Scattered light could reach nearby communities, habitats and roads. The exact reach would depend on weather, atmospheric conditions, brightness and how the mirror is aimed. Flashes created while a reflector changes direction could also distract pilots or drivers.

It’s annoying enough when my neighbor’s motion sensing porch light keeps turning on. This sounds horrible.

If someone were to aim some spotlights at the employees’ houses all night, which nobody should do, it would make interesting news.
