Can you name them? I have a lot of anger at the AAA studios


Spiderman 2. What the parent is referencing is things we know from the Insomniac leak.


Does this read like an ad to anyone else?


We live in the safest time in human history by a margin so wide it's remarkable.


This is also a much healthier way to live life


I'm old enough that I wasn't raised from birth with a digital dog collar.


And:

- "bad parts from vendor" - "bad programming on torque wrench from MRP" - "insufficient training on process" - "tooling was programmed correctly but bad sensors" - "lube mislabeled for 3 days"

This is absolutely not some simple thing. This is why people don't take us seriously as engineers.


There's a class thing to this - everyone I know who's working class refuses to drink tap water. Even if they're on a perfectly good system, it's 100% bottled water or soda all the time.

Was told that "tap water is for broke people"


Class? Perhaps it has to do with the fact that many trusted municipal water systems have been reveales to have temporary or extended contamination?


I asked! These are New Yorkers, we have good water.

To your point though, there was an issue with lead in schools and in NYCHA that may be at play here.


With toxins such as fluoride, indeed. When I was a child, my mother went crazy ordering fluoridated bottled water (in glass) until the City began to fluoridate the tap water supply. And my father is the guy who cleaned up lab spills and asbestos for a living. Then they tried to fluoridate me with Prozac prescriptions. It's literally insane, I tell you: insane.


Saves Boeing money by manufacturing 1 frame


Yes, certainly. But the carriers could configure it to make it non-functional, since it serves no purpose for them. Or they could spec it as a rivet-it-shut option from Boeing. Just seems crazy to have this big failure point in the fuselage, adding to their maintenance costs, for a thing they don't even use.


And mass.


Ridiculous. Deeply unserious stuff

Reminds me of the THE WHALES WILL DIE offshore wind suits. No, they won’t- but they will at 3C of warming

Hate living in a vetocracy.


Not a fan. Wikipedia should be a truly neutral actor - regardless of situation. Once this starts, it won't stop, and it will start to burn the NPOV.

in the face of 'two groups wanting to genocide themselves'.

FTFY


Providing an up to date, high quality article on an ongoing genocide that reports the best known information from a variety of sources while maintaining credibility with neutrality seems like the best Wikipedia can do not just now but for other future conflicts.


> genocide

Citation, as they say, needed.


You’re correct, but we’re discussing the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict, not a genocide. While it may feel good to use evocative words to spark emotion in others, you’re going to have to cite sources and provide an argument if you want us to earnestly consider your point of view.


The ICJ is having hearings over the genocide in Gaza.

The ICJ is also anything but neutral. The UN General Assembly elects the judges. The UN general assembly that has 164 resolutions against Israel, and ...

https://unwatch.org/un-general-assembly-rejects-motion-to-co...

Names aside an organisation whatever you want, but this organisation is anything but neutral. If Israel does not get fair treatment from the people assigning the judges here. And while Israel will go there, they will not accept the judgement of the court (which is the right of any country). And ... the complaint submitted by South Africa is full of factual inaccuracies and, frankly, reads like a rant. Read for yourself here:

https://www.icj-cij.org/case/192

It is a total rant, for example, it directly accuses the U.S. of genocidal acts in Gaza for "failing to use it's influence". It contains outright lies about statements made by officials.


Interestingly, wikipedia has a pretty neutral article on the subject:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_genocide_accusatio...


Would recommend verifying their charges yourself, people tell you this so you don't go peeking around. It's often a cover for a significantly more serious act.

Look on the registry yourself - you won't see anyone on there for peeing in public: https://www.nsopw.gov/
