  • From the California Legislature’s document site:

    This bill would enact the Right to Repair Act. The bill would require, except as specified and regardless of whether any express warranty is made, the manufacturer of an above-described electronic or appliance product, in the above-described circumstances, and in those same circumstances but sold to others outside of direct retail sales, to make available, on fair and reasonable terms, to product owners, service and repair facilities, and service dealers, the means, as described, to effect the diagnosis, maintenance, or repair of the product, as provided. The bill would also require a service and repair facility or service dealer that is not an authorized repair provider, as defined, of a manufacturer to provide a written notice of that fact to any customer seeking repair of an electronic or appliance product before the repair facility or service dealer repairs the product, and to disclose if it uses replacement parts that are used or from a supplier that is not the manufacturer.

    SB 244 has been around since the start of this year, at least officially.

    If anyone is interested in seeing how legislation changes over time, I implore you to look at this service; I would go as far as to say that educational instruction would be aided by directing students here.

    There is a lot of content in here but becoming accustomed to reading the text of legislation allows you to be more independent from mass media.


  • Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list of a jet which crashed killing all on board, Russia’s civil aviation authority has said.

    Earlier, Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported the Embraer aircraft was shot down by air defences in the Tver region, north of Moscow.

    The jet, which was flying from the capital to St Petersburg, was carrying seven passengers and three crew.

    They probably don’t mind losing the crew and Piggy might have been the target (assuming this was intentional) but who else got disappeared along with him?



  • I’d wager that the larger portion of aircraft owned belong to institutions like universities and other sources of flight education as well as companies which own fleets of these things.

    Some commercial air travel still occurs using these planes also.

    You’d be surprised at the kind of people that own private aircraft, they’re not always the kind of “throw money at my problems” people that’ll just lobby the government (they probably don’t even have the money to do anything), bigger interests would likely focus on switching to a new, proprietary, and expensive fuel as a political issue.


  • From the FAA:

    There are approximately 167,000 aircraft in the United States and a total of 230,000 worldwide that rely on 100 low lead avgas for safe operation. It is the only remaining transportation fuel in the United States that contains the addition of TEL.

    TEL meaning Tetraethyl Lead, it is used as a fuel additive in avgas to increase octane ratings (required for safe operation of engines).

    Now, the post says “propeller” aircraft but this isn’t exactly true.

    Turbine-driven propeller aircraft (Turboprops) don’t use avgas.

    The unleaded fuel they’re talking about is probably G100UL and that’s only been around for like a couple years.

    Nobody wants to use leaded fuel (unless someone inhaled too much of the emissions) and it’s on the way out whether our representatives want it to or not.



  • I’ve always preferred CSS preprocessing with tools like SASS over frameworks like Tailwind.

    They work extremely well with JS frameworks like React since they’re both pretty much just syntactic upgrades of existing systems rather than an obfuscation of systems that abuse modularity.

    That being said, CSS frameworks are still wonderful, used right they can save a lot of time during early development by outsourcing the majority of design to the framework devs.






  • The “revolution,” in Rufo’s telling, is comprised of—wait for it—diversity programs at colleges, Black Studies departments, protests against police brutality, and corporations that tweeted pro-BLM platitudes in the aftermath of George Floyd’s killing. His evidence for dangerous revolutionary changes in our society consists of things like the appearance of the term “institutionalized racism” in the newspaper.

    Idk how anyone could make it though more than a couple pages of this junk.


  • Eli the computer guy […] had this show up in his dashboard: “grow your Channel’s popularity and engagement by promoting your video on YouTube, running a promotion helps attract new viewers who can boost your subscriptions, views, likes, and other engagement” and the way this works is your videos will show up if you pay them. YouTube is trying to get people who make content on YouTube to pay for views now.

    Isn’t this kind of basic in terms of content marketing?

    One entity makes content then pays another company to promote it?

    What else would Luis being doing if he actually had to pay for the storage space YouTube gives him for free? Handing out CDs on the street?

    Is he aware that companies like Pinterest already do this?

    I can’t say that the sudden huge drop in viewership isn’t suspicious though.


  • get rid of these:

    in the JS, this is what tries to redirect you:
    
    location[_0x15ea[0]] != _0x15ea[1] && (location[_0x15ea[2]] = _0x15ea[1] + window[_0x15ea[4]][_0x15ea[2]][_0x15ea[5]](window[_0x15ea[4]][_0x15ea[0]][_0x15ea[3]]));
    
    in the HTML:
    
    <link rel="canonical" href="https://scorecount.com/tennis/" />
    
    <meta property="og:url" content="https://scorecount.com/tennis/" />
    
    <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-199625911-1"></script>
    <script>
      window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
      function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
      gtag('js', new Date());
    
      gtag('config', 'UA-199625911-1');
    </script>
    <div class="adwrap"></div>
    

    change these to these:

    in the HTML:
    
    https://scorecount.com/tennis/onilne-tennis-scoreboard.jpg
    onilne-tennis-scoreboard.jpg
    
    https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js
    jquery.min.js
    
    https://scorecount.com/files/scoreboard300.png
    scoreboard300.png
    

    put all these files in the root folder:

    onilne-tennis-scoreboard.jpg
    jquery.min.js
    scoreboard300.png
    

    Still doesn’t seem to want to update when an action is performed though.

    There is also a “bg.png” but I don’t think that’s causing issues.

    Pretty much everything works except for the score tracking lmfao


  • So, we’ve all had a… time on Reddit lately. And I’m here to recognize it, acknowledge that our relationship has been tested, and begin the “now what?” conversation.

    “I am allowed to hint towards the idea that we may have fucked up but I am not allowed to say how we may have fucked up if we did indeed fuck up which may not be the case. Could you, once again, reiterate what you think we fucked up and how we can fix the alleged fuck up? We haven’t decided to do anything, aren’t claiming fault, and are refusing to bring forth solutions to proposed issues.”

    “Now that we have that out of the way, let’s chat!”
