Screwed either way, ha?

Actually, it's Don Jr in the succession line, not Jeb Bush. Though that would be decades from now. The succession plan was exposed around the time Charlie Kirk was assassinated, because he was in it too. Vance is the immediate successor.

That may or may not be true. But this revelation isn't an accident. The war is more unpopular at home than they expected, even among the MAGAs. They're just trying to save their image by throwing Nethanyahu under the bus.

Those embarrassing things are pretty well known in public. The rest are just dull bureaucratic denials to Palantir (as they should). Palantir must be a snowflake to react like this. I guess that must be expected from an inconsiderate bully.

So are the US dictators. You're in for a looong ride!

Who downvoted Thai Red curry?

They diverted the funding for AI? AI is already a way for rich crooks to steal and make money off public information, if not an outright hype that grifters employ to attract funding for their devious pursuits. None of this is AI's fault. But politicians should understand the type of people they are funding, instead of ignorantly falling for buzzwords.

They used to advertise Linux.

You don't need to mention them by name.

I switched nearly two decades ago after I used a freeware network monitor on Windows and realized that it was making dozens of silent TCP connections online. Some were to Microsoft, while others were to unknown third parties. Just imagine your personal machine doing this!

Linux is actually easy to use these days. Installation is often easier than windows and hardware just works most of the time. Despite that, people have a habit of exaggerating the difficulties in using Linux or BSD. They very often feel like excuses to avoid checking it out.

If you want any change in this, you should formally express your concern using A2A missiles. If they protest, formally deny it. This is what they do after all, isn't it?

I have heard this tape. While it's distressing, it's something worth hearing. Not because it's pleasant to listen to people die. But because it's worth remembering their pain so that those mistakes are never repeated again.

Remember that the engineers, technicians and other support staff of Apollo 1 didn't have the option of turning off the audio either (I listened to it to partially feel what they felt). They worked feverishly to save their colleagues who were burning to death only a few inches away from them. And to finally reach them to find out that it was all in vain.

This would have been a horrifyingly painful experience for NASA. And it did have an impact. NASA changed in an instant. No effort was spared in keeping the future astronauts safe. So much so that a deeply crippled Apollo 13 still made it back safely. And no lives were ever again lost on the Apollo missions. That's the power of a personal connection to a tragedy. I watch a lot of accident investigation documentaries, including rail, aviation and space. Nothing drives the lessons deep like the depiction of human tragedy.

Just imagine. If only the aircraft manufacturers could see the final moments of the passengers that die in their low quality aircrafts. Perhaps they would try hard to avoid such incidents rather than chase profits at any cost.

RIP: Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffee, Ed White. The bravehearts of Apollo 1.
