A man attacked the husband of congresswoman Nancy Pelosi with a hammer, almost killing him. Charlie Kirk laughs about it. He says anyone who bailed out the attacker would be a great patriot
Do you have a longer segment that mentions who he's talking about? I'd like to send this to people, but I don't it'll be as clear to them what he's talking about.

Probably for spray paint or other damage. Or maybe for identifying when it fails

It's his stage name, but he's hilarious and also has had a rough go medically himself.

California Bill Would Require Landlords to Accept Pets
I assume this (and really any extra mandates for landlords) is going to drive more small/private landlords out of the business, and that won't necessarily increase housing availability on its own, but will instead be filled by larger corporate landlords that can afford to deal with administrative work required. As I've gotten older, I've found small landlords to be where you can find the best experience (but also maybe the worst, it's more variable), having just corporate landlords feels like you'll always get a shittier place (minimal work done) for market rates.

Alaska Airlines Grounds Fleet of Boeing 737 Max 9 Jets After Midair ‘Incident’
Reply in thread
Watch the documentaries, the former MD board basically took over Boeing, moved leadership out of WA to Chicago, set up separate plants (one in Georgia not sure if there are more) to counter union/worker demands in WA, etc. This has been a long process resulting in the rotting of the company from the inside out. The 787 was the first example of their garbage - - even though I like the plane, it had a lot of issues.

Linux lays down the law on AI-generated code, says yes to Copilot, no to AI slop, and humans take the fall for mistakes — after months of fierce debate, Torvalds and maintainers come to an agreement
Reply in thread
Ya I'm finding myself being the bad code generator at work as I'm scattered across so many things at the moment due to attrition and AI can do a lot of the boilerplate work, but it's such a time and energy sink to fully review what it generates and I've found basic things I missed that others catch and shows the sloppiness. I usually take pride in my code, but I have no attachment to what's generated and that's exposing issues with trying to scale out using this

Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann

My guess is that it's because people are using apps to get around Google's revenue generating mechanisms, like apps to get YouTube without ads.

I just watched the wrong version of Drive (2011), and didn't realize until the last 10 minutes. Any similar stories?
I watched an hour of the fake interviews on the Blair witch project when it first came out thinking that was the movie, was not impressed

Tesla Is Looking to Hire a Team to Remotely Control Its 'Self-Driving' Robotaxis
Reply in thread
You can hire someone in another country to drive remotely, so can find cheaper labor. They could also theoretically have them multitask driving multiple vehicles at once.
Edit to clarify, I don't think this is good, but I think people trying to make money (eg Musk) will push for these kinds of things regardless of the safety.

Federal officials order grounding of Boeing 737-9 Max jetliners after a plane suffers a blowout
I've been avoiding the max like the plague, but my first flight on one was today after reading about the Alaskan flight. I wasn't near where the plug is afaict, and it was a good flight, but I did have a firm grip on the seat in front of me for the first 20k feet

151 Million People Affected: New Study Reveals That Leaded Gas Permanently Damaged American Mental Health
Reply in thread
That's probably related to all the other chemicals they use at airports (eg forever chemicals in fire retardant). 100LL (100 octane low lead) is only used in small piston engines, which is a very small population. They're trying alternatives that don't use lead, but I'm reading that the top contender is eating through paint and possibly gaskets and seals in the plane, which isn't safe either.
