  • 100UL (Unleaded avgas) has finally been approved for spark-ignition aviation engines just in the past couple years.

    Manufacturers have finally gotten approval to build/retrofit popular small aircraft with compression-ignition engines. These can burn Jet-A in a diesel cycle instead of 100LL. Jet-A is more energy dense than 100LL, and it is cheaper.

    We're finally in a regulatory position where the GA fleet can actually transition to unleaded fuels.

  • inflammation, inflamed, inflammable

    inflammable = easily ignited

  • Its not insurmountably difficult to replace screens on most phones.

  • Return the dignity of work ...

    ... by paying them what they're fucking worth, asshole.

  • Family is gonna be rich once Trump is out of office.

  • Most countries inside the US don't use irons.

  • I have the "Dark Reader" extension in my browser, that converts web pages from their usual dark-on-light into light-on-dark. Occasionally, it also flips colors in certain images, and even streaming videos.

    Do you have any browser extensions installed that might affect color? A blue-blocker, for instance?

  • Zero-day exploits are security holes that exist and are used by bad actors, but aren't yet known to you, or anyone capable of closing the hole. The clock to patch the hole doesn't start running until the exploit is known: it stands at zero days until the good guys know it exists.

    What zero-day exploits exist for ssh?

    By definition, you don't know. So, you block root login, and hope the bad actor doesn't also know a zero-day for sudo.

  • immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts,

    I'm guessing they intended to send this notice to one of this lawyer's clients, rather than the lawyer themself?

  • Didn’t have any, but my husband put in a word for me and I got hired.

    Networking.

    If it was nepotism, you would have said:

    Didn't have any, but my husband was the hiring manager, and put me on the payroll anyway.

  • Vance doesn't have the support of the personality cult. He can't hold MAGA together. The whole thing will splinter.

  • In 1912, "Servia" was the accepted English spelling. British journalists started using "Serbia" around 1914.

  • IMO, email isn't for answering questions. Email is for documenting that the conversation occurred.

    If they won't answer the questions in email, ask them in a phone call, then send a "Per our conversation" email summarizing the answers they provided. Until they send a rebuttal, I am free to act as though my email was their answer.

  • My father and my grandmother (who lives with us, in the USA) are PRC Citizens with legal US permanent residency.

    "Permanent" residency just means there is not currently a specific intent to revoke their status. It does not mean that they are immune from the immigration witch-hunt currently sweeping the US. More than a few "permanent residents" have been deported, most for simply pissing off someone empowered to use deportation in retaliation.

    But I don't think they are looking at some anonymous Lemmy account, right?

    Your account is currently "anonymous". But everything you post is online, and documented forever. What happens 6 months down the road, when your anonymity is pierced, and your name is permanently tied to your past acts? Have you said or done anything that would lead the head narcissist-in-charge to think you don't like him?

    My advice would be to focus your activist energy on long-term, local issues. Lobby for public transportation, school funding, homeless shelters, victim assistance, bike paths, free clinics, legal aid, Habitat for Humanity, or any of a thousand other worthy causes with broad, positive effects for the community. You don't have to keep your head down, just stick it out where it will do the most good. We don't need more evidence of the current regime's malfeasance; we do need good people focused on what happens after they are out of office.
