This isn’t much of a change. Before AI it was SEO slop. Search for product reviews and you get a bunch of pages “reviewing” products by copying the amazon description and images.

I can’t imagine antagonizing someone who you rely on for a tip and a rating.

the S in tsa is for security. they have nothing to do with safety.

The engine is located far from the passenger cabin and it has fire suppression systems that probably put out the fire in flight. They have procedures for this that handled the situation so well they didn’t even have to evacuate the aircraft.

Fires are a risk with any combustion engine. Clearly they mitigated that risk effectively since no one was in any real danger

Boeing doesn’t make the engines.

Delta flight 446 landed safely, and the plane taxied to the gate on its own with no sign of a fire at that point. Passengers were able to deplane normally…

Delta said customers were reaccommodated on a new aircraft to their final destinations.

This was little more than an inconvenience for the passengers. The news always uses deliberately alarming language to entice a click. There was an actual engine fire this time, but it was a small one that appears to be out before they landed.

Commercial aviation is orders of magnitude safer than cars. The occasional incident is national news because they are rare. Fatal car crashes happen so often they aren’t even newsworthy.

I have seen news stories describe engine surges as “bursting into flames” before, but that’s not the case here.

The video of the incident shows a small but sustained flame emerging from the bottom-rear of the engine, well below the engine’s core.

There was an engine fire but in typical journalistic fashion it was far short of bursting into flames.

Unlikely to be boeing’s fault as they don’t make the engines, just the airframes.

Edit: An engine surge/compressor stall is the plane’s version of a backfire. Big bang and a burst of flames. Very exciting, but very little danger beyond the loss of thrust. This incident wasn’t a surge, but the last time I saw mainstream news say an engine “burst into flames” it was.

TSA ≠ NTSB

Both international treaties on statelessness were never signed by the US. I don’t think the US has any obligations under international law to not make people stateless. But that doesn’t cause statelessness either.

A consequence of this is that Americans have the freedom to make themselves stateless. The government will tell you how monumentally bad of an idea that is, but they will let you renounce citizenship without having another one.

Its the passport that also works for domestic air travel now that they banned drivers’ licenses.

It does not have your address on it, so its a safer document to use to prove your age.

When learning a language, you don’t do literally everything by the book. In the real world you have to figure it out and extrapolate from incomplete information, and sometimes you get it a bit wrong.

From a few minutes playing on an autotranslator, it appears that Norwegan uses the same word for male/man and female/woman. Like the noun and adjective versions are the same word with different conjugations. A Norwegan learning english as a second language can quite reasonably be unaware that there is a distinction there.

It’s pretty normal to use male and female when specifying gender as an adjective. Man and woman are nouns. Calling a professional a female manager, or male teacher is normal english grammar. Using male or female as a noun is the red flag, which upon re-reading they also do… hmmmm

But OP constantly genders the channel instead of the creator which feels more non-native english speaker to me. They post about european stuff and in norwegean. Don’t read too much into it.

The law requires consent to record. Its not a contract or license to only use it for those things.

Consent is a weird word in the context its used for private recordings. A better word for laypeople would be disclose or notice. In those states you just have to mention that you are recording.

The consent is not an active agreement to be recorded, but a passive consent by continuing the call after the notice is given.

“This call may be recorded” does mean you may record the call.

Taxes can, and should go over 100% of income. Billionaires have enough assets to live without income.

I was expecting to see this from the headline alone.

Most people are citizens of where they also live and give birth so this distinction doesn’t come up in most cases. But for children born to immigrants or travelers it does.

Citizenship can either be assigned by where you were born, or who you were born to.

Birthright citizenship, as we use the term in the US, is mostly a new world invention. In nearly all countries in the americas, any children born here are citizens without exception. No matter the parents, no matter the circumstances.

In the old world, most countries require a parent to be a citizen in order for the child to also be a citizen.

Generally if an american couple gives birth in Europe, the child will just be american, despite where they were born. If a European couple gives birth in any of the americas, their child will be a citizen of the americas, despite anything else

Pay attention to the words that are bolded and highlighted.

Is it surprising when traditional sources have paywalls and podcasts don’t?

security through obscurity is not security

This would have happened under any other president.

Mass surveillance does not work. It does not prevent terrorist attacks under any president.
