No, they’re saying if it was an official duty, he’s immune. If he did something unofficial (as decided by lower courts), he’s not immune. I don’t know many details off the top of my head, but for example tweeting to the Proud Boys, could be considered unofficial. Or whatever. I’m not a law person.
He can still be prosecuted etc., but it’s going to take time for lower courts to figure out how to handle it.
Call me silly, but isn’t this sort of good? I think they’re trying to say “you’re immune if you do stuff that presidents do, like be in charge of war, torture, etc, but if you’re a normal criminal, you’re still a criminal”.
Oops, thanks for the correction. I knew that.
They’ve had problems with the 787 since it entered production… this is just to appease folks.
First the batteries caught fire all the time, then airlines complained about finding metal shavings everywhere. Qatar even stopped accepting deliveries from the Charleston, SC plant.
This article talks about it a bit. It’s kind of sad, actually, because there’s a picture of one of the deceased whistleblowers, John Barnett. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/20/business/boeing-dreamliner-production-problems.html
The upgrade went smoothly for me. Be smart with your backups with this one!
Upgrading to postgres 16 was the hardest part. You need to pg_dump the lemmy database, upgrade to postgres 16 (which will complain in the logs that the current data isn’t compatible), delete the database folder (don’t delete the backup file from pg_dump!), then import the backup file into postgres 16.
I had already upgraded pict-rs to version 0.5+ so that was easy.
Then I compared the new lemmy.hjson with what I already had to get the new pict-rs setting for proxied images (turned off for now).
Overall a lot more complex than previous upgrades.
Be smart with your backups with this one!
One more thing to consider if you’re using Debian 12 is it comes with postgres 15, so if you you’re using the bare metal to make backups, you’ll need to install postgres 16 using the instructions here.
I’m not surprised, but I’m relieved to hear he’s guilty.
Two impeachments and a jury conviction. Quite a “witch hunt”!
Why post such an old article? This was over a month ago.
Pack it up, folks. We have our proof.
Seriously though, I hope you find something.
It’s crazy that someone thinks they should defend a company’s behavior like this
If it’s me you think is defending Boeing, I don’t see anything I wrote that does that. I think Boeing is an embarrassment. I even said “it’s very important that the culture at Boeing and the FAA changes”.
My whole thing is just about how crazy safe it is to fly on an airliner, Boeing or not.
There are websites like Kayak that do allow you to filter by aircraft type, if that’s your thing. I still think it’d be sorta silly for an airline to say “here are flights that are more safe than the rest of our flights”, when that’s not really true.
Curious what you mean by “give us non-boeing options”? Like when you book a ticket on their website?
There are definitely non-Boeing options, but you have to do your own research. An airline isn’t going to purposely list flights that may or may not be safer than other flights. That would be a strange thing to do. Besides, the type of plane often changes at the last minute.
Most people don’t care too much about what type of airplane it is. The Boeing’s flying today have been subject to more scrutiny than non-Boeing planes.
Flying is extremely safe. It’s crazy how safe it is. It’s currently in the news cycle, otherwise you wouldn’t have even heard or read about the other smaller events. The door blowout was crazy and it’s very important that the culture at Boeing and the FAA changes, but luckily nobody died.
Meanwhile people drive over bridges without thinking about it when 7(?) people died in a bridge collapse recently.
Aviation should be, and is, held to a high standard. There’s your piece of mind.
Sorry for ranting.
That X tweet is dumb. “Who pays for this?! The taxpayer?!”. The FAQ answers the question in pretty basic terms, assuming they didn’t add the question recently. https://fightingjays.com/faq/
The video is pretty wild. The entire span came down very quickly. I can’t imagine what it must have been like. https://youtu.be/2kw1hH5XCYU?si=YysIGHYu4k5CFbTO
My favorite off-brand is Prawn Dish Soap. It has a strong smell.
Wait, that’s a real name?
“Will you be my student loans? Because I’d like to have you around for the rest of my life.” - taken from the article.
I really hate to quote Roberts, but circumventing congress wouldn’t be “within his “conclusive and preclusive” constitutional authority”, would it?
