Note something here—Boeing’s response was not that the parts failed specification, but that the part was still safe. The production workers and managers are taught to build the part to spec, full stop. They aren’t skilled in, nor do they have the tools, for analysis of the consequences of deviation from the spec.

Nothing on searching candidates for VIBRATING ANAL BEADS?

This is going to be an absolute shit show. I predict the funniest part will be watching Trump rage whenever they mute him, which will probably be constantly, maybe even funny enough to overcome the sadness that these two clowns are the best two people we could manage to come up with to run the country for the next 4…

It’s utterly shameful and pitiful that it even comes to this, a debate expected to be watched by so many people? Why? What the hell for? The next president will be one of these two guys, the Hitler wannabe and the well-meaning older man. One of the two is qualified for the job, and the other is the anti-Christ. WTF…

yeah these headlines are just getting more and more clickbaity

Why is the entire article written like it’s a Boeing issue (with one line addressing Airbus) when Airbus is included in the quoted article? It was obviously an issue with a company that supplies both Boeing and Airbus. So if you say Boeing should have caught the issue then Airbus should have too. Counterfeit parts are…

Agreed. I don’t recall where I heard it, but someone said that the change at Boeing happened when the engineers were pushed out of the positions of authority and replaced by business majors.

Well said.

This is a sympton of the wider issue of America’s inherent capitalist nature to prioritise profit and wealth over everything else. If an American business can cut costs and increase profit, they will. Whether that be lowering the quality of components (or ingredients with food products) or cutting corners to speed up m…

The lemonade is labelled. If people don’t read it, then it’s their problem.

The attack is disturbing and I understand being upset and feeling full revulsion but after a few seconds if I was vulnerable wouldn’t I know to exit, avert my eyes or even shut down Discord? And hospitalization? Perhaps the highly frightened will need an aftercare therapist but even that seems a bit dramatic.

Ah, I remember when this happened with energy drinks. Nobody sues Starbucks when someone drinks five coffees and coincidentally dies afterwards, but when it’s something novel with a similar amount of caffeine? Money train!

So the sonograf is just an analogue midi sequencer with worse UX because you have to suss out where the notes fall in order to not produce the cat screeching in the demo? Am I understanding this correctly?

The circle guitar was the most promising and market-ready. The others are just random sounds. While very cool, one issue with random sound generation can be recreating an identical performance in a live setting over and over.

The circle guitar actually sounded pretty cool. Everything else sounded like steel shards, glass and cats in a blender on high.

Danny Boyle ought to direct a Mario sequel, this time with more focus on the plumbing.

I’d be excited, at least for the first one. The Rage virus does hit continental Europe at the end of the 28 Weeks Later.

28 Decades Later

I thought “28 days later” was good, with an empty London it was chilling. “28 weeks later” was interesting, but not as good.
