MicroWave OP , in Two US Navy sailors arrested for allegedly sharing sensitive military information with China
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

One of the sailors, Jinchao Wei, was arrested Wednesday as he arrived for work at Naval Base San Diego, according to a statement released Thursday by the US Attorney for the Southern District of California. The base is one of the largest Navy installations in the Pacific.

The other sailor who has been arrested, Petty Officer Wenheng Zhao, worked at Naval Base Ventura County in Port Hueneme in California.

Prosecutors say that Wei, who served as a machinist’s mate on the USS Essex, allegedly entered into a “handler/asset” relationship with a Chinese intelligence officer beginning in February 2022. Machinist’s mates are a class of engineers, and are responsible for operating, maintaining and repairing ship equipment.

Zhao, who was responsible for installing, repairing and servicing electrical equipment on US military installations, also had a security clearance, prosecutors say, and allegedly took photos of computer screens that displayed “operational orders of military training exercises” and provided them to the officer.

I feel like the governor’s vacation being cut short is not really the headline news event here.

I’m assuming that the red shirt guy’s sign does not actually say something like “Make America’s Penis Short Again”, but that’s how I’m reading it.

What an airtight alibi the governor has. So good it’s suspicious.

Lol someone please perp walk him for my amusement.

mateomaui ,

Looking forward to the GA indictment where they say he’ll get a mugshot taken. Not sure if that’s changed or not.

shutz ,

He’ll probably smile for that mugshot

mateomaui ,

We just need to make sure no one holds any of the doors open for him on the way in to take it.

Sadly, it probably doesn’t matter what law is on the books about it. It’s a southern red state, and like it or not he is a former president and a white man of influence.

mateomaui ,

Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat is on record, even with Fox News today, saying that unless someone tells him different, if locally arraigned Trump will have his fingerprints and mugshot taken, so there’s a tiny amount of hope there.

edit: and why would it be a problem anyway? Apparently he got arrested today for his supporters, so he can go that extra mile and get a mugshot for them too.

CeruleanRuin ,
@CeruleanRuin@lemmy.world avatar

Are mugshots public record in Fulton County? In many places they are not released unless the person is on the lam and there’s a need to release a recent image.

mateomaui ,

I cannot be certain, but found this blurb

“All arrest data including mugshots are categorized under public records and in compliance with Georgia Open Records Act, are made available to citizens on request.”

Nice. Thanks.

HeyJoe , in Hyundai and Kia recall nearly 92,000 vehicles and tell owners to park them outside due to fire risk

I have been wanting a new car for about 6 years now… money issues keep me from doing it. Amazingly my 16 year old car that I’ve had the entire 16 years is still kicking. Anyway for the last 6 years I’ve always said I am going to buy a Hyundai Sonata next, at least a used one. Every year that goes by the more and more I hear terrible things about them… at this point I really don’t think I can invest in them. How are they really screwing up this badly for so long? Fix your stuff! At this point they had to have lost trust in a large amount of its customers. The sad thing is I honestly have no idea what car I want now because none of them looked that good for the same price as the Sonata.

Honda

HeyJoe ,

I currently have a Nissan Sentra. Just looked at the Honda Accord which seems to be the only higher end sedan and its not bad compared to some I looked at but still doesn’t look as nice as the Sonata and is more expensive for less. I’ll keep this one bookmarked to look at it some more, thanks!

Get a second-hand Camry.

UltraMagnus0001 ,

Mazdas are really good now. under Ford they were just okay

HeyJoe ,

Doesn’t look like they have a sedan? It’s the only type of car I am looking for. The hatchback one does look nice, I am just not a fan of that style.

EddoWagt ,

They so have a sedan, the Mazda 6! Looks beautiful in my opinion

HeyJoe , (edited )

You are right, I was just looking at the main site. For whatever reason all I see for 2024 models is the hatchback. I just switched to 2023 and found it. Although I only see the Mazda 3, now I have to look for the 6. Not sure why they make it so hard to find the cars.

Edit: after looking some more I found that the 6 was discontinued. Nobody loves sedans anymore!

EddoWagt ,

Ahh so they did, I wasn’t sure so I didn’t mention it. 2023 was the last year then… A used one can still be very new I suppose.

I guess even Mazda has to comply to the demand for SUVs and Crossovers…

UltraMagnus0001 ,

boo for suv/xover. i was a mazda tech and now a hyundai tech and their engines are going left and right, especially the 1.6. check tour oil every 1k

HeyJoe ,

Yeah I will absolutely be buying used this time around. The cost difference of a car only 3 years old makes it very hard to go new. I was just looking on their site to get the information, that is a first time a car just didn’t exist anymore like that for me!

EddoWagt ,

Yeah new cars are not worth it for most people, I’ve only heard good things about new Mazda’s so definitely worth doing some research on

@TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works avatar

Currently drive a 07 mazda 6. It’s a bit of a boat compared to smaller sedans like the Hyundai but it drives like a dream. Maintenance isn’t too pricey either

Tinks ,

My husband has an '06 Mazda Speed 6 and I swear it’s the most reliable car I’ve ever seen. It’s only been to the shop for repair a few times ever, and it’s been weird stuff like the AC went out, nothing major. Pretty sure my husband has spent more on tires and oil changes than repairs for that car. It’s been an absolute beast.

TheMightyCanuck ,
@TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yup. Sounds like mine to a tee. Ac recharge and a bad coolant temp sensor are it for “major” repairs.

CapraObscura ,

You’ll find people that swear Lexus is shit.

Just buy the fucking car and maintain it properly. You will likely never have an issue.

HeyJoe ,

When I was dating my wife she had a used 06 Lexus hybrid. I would like to agree with you but our experience wasn’t very good either. Great car when it was fine but definitely found out the hard way to never hold onto a luxury car longer than 5-6 years. It’s not a problem that things start going, which is to be expected, it’s that they cost significantly more to have repaired. So even the little things started adding up. Thankfully my father is a mechanic and helped when he could but even the parts cost more than a regular car. Just have to find that fine line of when to sell before worrying about all the wear and tear stuff because it adds up quick.

CapraObscura ,

If you can’t afford a Lexus you buy a Toyota. Which is also expensive to repair. Because everything is, because cars are expensive.

My point was the Lexus has, for a long time, been the most reliable brand out there. And they’re still shit sometimes.

Unreal, I can't even remember the last time I saw an incandescent bulb...

Better late than never I guess!

Disgustoid ,

I moved into my condo in 2010. The bathroom includes a vanity mirror with 6 incandescent bulbs over it. I only have 3 on at any given time since all 6 on at the same time is annoyingly bright. I want to replace them but it seems wasteful to chuck them in the garbage when they still work.

schroedingershat ,

It’s a milligram of tungsten and a few grams of glass and steel.

On the other hand they’re only on a few minutes a day. Not really something to be concerned about either way.
