  • Can you record the sound? I've never heard of a power supply having any kind of noisemaker. It's probably just electrical interference or coil whine or something, where the waveform happens to produce that periodic sound. (You might even look around and find a nearby device changing its power draw with the same periodicity.)

  • Pentagon officials also failed for two days last week to notify Austin’s second-in-command that he had transferred authority to her while he was in the ICU, and while she was in Puerto Rico.

    That's the real goof. I don't really see a problem with the secdef being hospitalized and not immediately notifying the President. They need DoD stuff, they call on him, and if he's not available, for any reason, it should immediately fall to the deputy. The White House staff, and especially the deputy, should have been told.

    Ultimately this just seems to have been a breakdown in communication, but even if war were declared, I don't think it would have been a significant issue. This is media hype bs to distract from real issues.

  • There is already some debate about what time of year the birth actually happened. Most people agree that regardless of the actual day, it probably wasn't Dec 25 (or the equivalent if using other calendars). That's just the one that people agreed to use.

  • Not exactly. Most Christian holidays are redefined existing holidays. Christmas was "oh everyone already celebrates a feast around midwinter, let's make it a celebration of the birth of Jesus so we can still do the celebration but in a Christian way".

  • It's not an imminent collision alert, it's a "plane where it's not supposed to be" alert.

    I don't know how many scenarios currently are configured for an audible alert, but the thing is, when you make too many alerts important enough to be audible, then no alert is important. Operators will start instantly muting the audible before even thinking about the actual alert, and that means they could get distracted by something they're already working on and completely forget to address the new alert.
