Funny but likely untrue. That isn’t how wifi authentication would work in a building like that.


Something occurred to me


So... we have learned that the plane that crashed into the helicopter, that only had 30 seconds to respond, happened when an air traffic controller was working in two positions at once.

Which, in turn, was because Trump disobeyed a direct Congressional order requiring him to hire the maximum number of air traffic controllers.

Trump responded by saying the person responsible was a DEI hire. The person responsible, of course is Trump.

This is a remarkable level of self awareness on his part, one I did not think he was capable of.

I do realize this is a politically charged situation. Nonetheless, the reason this happened from a quality assurance perspective is because of understaffing and that problem cannot be resolved at all without, at the point we are now, addressing the humans and chains of command that directly caused this. It is not political charlatinism though I see how you could come to that conclusion. It is instead, completely unavoidable if we want to address the underlying problem.

I suspect you did not know the situation fully before replying to me?

I am going to assume that's the case. The telegraph has a medium conservative (ranked 44% right) bias, so this should be a fair article. yahoo.com/news/pilot-view-why-…


Thought of the day


One movie that needs to be remade is The Last Starfighter. Don't get me wrong, Ready Player One ticked a lot of these boxes. But I think the message, making your own kind of music matters and if you get good enough at it you can play your own game instead of the game everyone tells you everyone must play. It's a good message and there is truth to it. You really do have to play the stupid games everyone must play, but they're a means, not an end. And what you do on your own, your talents and what makes you you, it matters.

And people wonder why I'm so against AI, it's a pernicious threat to our collective intelligence and even our perception of reality. AI arrests the need to think, to question, to study, to create and that makes for obedient if clueless worker drones.

or you can just mess up the finance sector like the banks did in 2008
