Ioughttamow , in Trump tries to reset his campaign after brutal month

I have it on good authority you just need to exclaim, “woah woah woah woah, hold up. Do over.”

dhork ,

I’m sure he knows all about how to call a mulligan, just like how he plays golf.

nkat2112 , in Former University of Kentucky student pleads guilty to assault in racist attack captured on video
@nkat2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

I think the former student is in for a rude awakening that will last her a lifetime. And I wonder if she realizes that.

I wonder if she can even stand to look at herself in that video. And yet it will resurface continuously. Her deed will haunt her forever.

I feel very sorry for Ms. Spring and what she had to endure. This is so wrong and indicative of the systemic racism.

Shortstack , in Are You Sure Your House Is Worth That Much? Climate risk is still not being priced into American homeownership.

If you’re in Oregon or Washington and west of the Cascades your house is worth what it’s valued. The wildfire threat almost entirely stops at the mountains.

Unfortunately the smoke doesn’t but it looks like the rest of the continent is getting it lately too.

silence7 OP ,

That area has its own hazard, in the form of earthquake risk.

linearchaos , in Amazon is bricking primary feature on $160 Echo device after 1 year
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

Don’t worry the rest of the echoes Will be on the chopping block next. The product doesn’t make them enough money.

I have a couple of 8 in and a 5-in show who’s sole purpose in life is to display whoever just rang my Eufy doorbell.

I can’t say that I’ve ever noticed an ad on them I’m sure they’re there I just don’t spend any time looking at them.

I’ve stopped using them for shopping lists. Other than occasionally asking what the weather is today or the kids asking them how to spell a word, we hardly use them.

I use my smartwatch for timers. I do have a couple of smart bulbs in the bedroom and use it to turn off the lights but again I never look at it.

Vector , in Former Alaska Airlines pilot who tried to shut down engines in-flight shares his story

Save you a click:

Joe Emerson had been struggling over the death of his best friend, Scott, a pilot who died while on a run six years earlier. Emerson had been away for the weekend with friends, celebrating and remembering Scott.

On Friday night, the group took psychedelic mushrooms – a drug that can make you hallucinate and typically has effects that last a few hours. Emerson said that for him, the physical side effects lasted days, and the consequences a lifetime.

“There are two red handles in front of my face,” Emerson recalled. “And thinking that I was going to wake up, thinking this is my way to get out of this non-real reality, I reached up and I grabbed them, and I pulled the levers.”

givesomefucks ,

They said he was on mushrooms the day it happened too

miseducator ,

Yeah, he kept the party going for sure. Good lord, I absolutely hate being on an airplane sober, but I have never thought “damn, if I was only hallucinating on psilocybin, this would be more pleasant.”

cornshark ,

Don’t do drugs, kids

iAmTheTot ,

Or, just maybe don’t do drugs if you know you have to fly a plane soon and are possibly struggling with depression.

givesomefucks , (edited )

He wasn’t flying the plane.

He was getting a free flight from his airline because he was a pilot.

Think it was a cargo plane so he was one of the only passengers. He freaked out, entered the cabin, and started trying to crash the plane. The actual pilots had to hit him with a wrench or something I think to stop him.

And he took them like 12 hours before the flight, this was at the “this is a dream I have to wake up” stage.

At least. That’s what I remember from one this happened, it’s been a minute

Waldowal ,
@Waldowal@lemmy.world avatar

That must be something else because he was charged with 83 counts of attempted murder. 1 for each passenger.

AmidFuror ,

He was in a passenger jet. He had a seat in the cockpit with the actual pilot and copilot.

This sounds like the FedEx hijacking attempt, flight 705.

givesomefucks ,

Yeah apparently this is more common than I thought and I’m co flating the two.

Thanks!

ravhall ,

Bullshit. Buuuuuulllllshhhhhiiiiittttt

I love shrooms. They don’t last for days. That motherfucker just fucked up on the job. Probably due to lack of sleep from all that partying. That whole “inception” nonsense is a liiieeeee

ikidd , in Nikki Haley in Taiwan says an isolationist policy is not healthy, while expressing support for Trump
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

The cognitive dissonance is real. How this silly twit can say “isolationism is bad” and “Trump good” in the same breath is truly astounding.

Trump worked toward isolationism like nobody in the last century and if he gets in again, Project 2025 puppetmasters will take that up by an order of magnitude as they create a new Sharia law environment and distance the rest of the world even further.

catloaf , in After cybersecurity lab wouldn’t use AV software, US accuses Georgia Tech of fraud

By suing a major institution like Georgia Tech, the US government seems to be firing a shot across the bow of all the other schools running labs with federal security money.

That’s the big takeaway from the article. The vast majority of organizations, whether federally funded like this, or something like a private company under finance regulation, barely maintains compliance with regulation, if they even make a real effort at all. This is in the same category as Boeing self-certifying for work that was never done.

Is this something new that’s been happening? Have people really lost their minds in recent years, because of COVID or microplastics or political/media mental effects or something? Or are we just becoming more aware of it?

Snapz , in Oklahoma revokes license of teacher who gave class QR code to Brooklyn library in book-ban protest

Teacher will eventually get a fat, taxpayer-funded lawsuit award. The republicans are such backwards, self-hating, broken people.

How hard would it be for another state, that isn’t so dedicated to shooting its own foot, reinstate/award them a teaching license as a gesture?

Bluefalcon ,

For teachers in that state it would be pretty easy since it’s a compact state. I would recommend Oregon or Washington.

mozz , in Lapid: Netanyahu was briefed on dangers ahead of Oct. 7, ignored ‘all red flags,’ must go
@mozz@mbin.grits.dev avatar

He didn’t ignore them. He thought “oh sweet, this will be the perfect pretext. I can’t wait.”

It’s the same reason he keeps blowing up peace deals that would bring the hostages back.
