  1. Seems they had multiple issues with their radar, Link 16 and IFF systems. https://www.twz.com/air/how-uss-gettysburg-shot-down-a-super-hornet-and-nearly-another
  2. You might post the actual live data to back it up. As of this post, geothermal and hydro are producing far more than coal (not producing anything currently) and gas. https://www.transpower.co.nz/system-operator/live-system-and-market-data/consolidated-live-data https://www.transpower.co.nz/system-operator/live-system-and-market-data/generation-fuel-type Looking at the chart showing the past ~6 months in the page below, coal and gas generation has been less than hydro and geothermal. https://app.em6.co.nz/?stackedgwap.filter.gridZone=15&stackedgwap.filter.interval=30minute Now back to electric conversions. https://kindredmotorworks.com/models/kindred-chevy-3100/city-cruiser

    Has it accused you of killing your children yet? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0kgydkr516o Be sure to watch out for hallucinations. https://futurism.com/openai-admits-gpt45-hallucinates https://www.reuters.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/ai-hallucinations-court-papers-spell-trouble-lawyers-2025-02-18/ These LLMs can be helpful with some things, just be sure to understand how they work and watch for the hallucinations.

  6. Those really aren't dire wolves, but grey wolves with a few modified genes to look kind of like a dire wolf. https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/04/de-extinction-company-announces-that-the-dire-wolf-is-back/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-dire-wolf-isnt-back-but-heres-what-de-extinction-tech-can-actually-do/

    These F-47s are intended to replace the F-22, not the F-35s. Although the development of both of those does go back decades. The F-22 came from the ATF program that originated in the 80s and the F-35 came from the 90's JSF program. F-22s were meant to replace the F-15 as the absolute best air superiority fighter possible, while the F-35 was a multi-role fighter to replace the F-16, F/A-18s and Harriers, as well as be the first stealth aircraft offered for sale to allies.
  8. If you're sharing the same local wifi network with your landlord, you may want to let them know what happened. Or even see if they were also hit.
  9. Do you have a free or paid OneDrive account? The paid plans have a file recovery feature that can help in this situation. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/ransomware-detection-and-recovering-your-files-0d90ec50-6bfd-40f4-acc7-b8c12c73637f https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/restore-your-onedrive-fa231298-759d-41cf-bcd0-25ac53eb8a15
  10. ATC did ask the heli pilot if they had the CRJ in sight a couple of times, and the heli pilot confirmed they did. They very likely had the wrong aircraft in sight though. It's also sounding like ATC was short staffed at the time too. https://apnews.com/live/dc-plane-crash-reagan-updates#00000194-b8ea-d66a-a1bd-f9fa612b0000
  11. TCAS doesn't give alerts that close to the ground near airports. Listening to the ATC audio, ATC did have an alert come up but it seems to have been too late to do anything.
  12. Sounds like the plane was asked to change runways for landing, and the helicopter was supposed to maintain visual contact and pass behind the plane. https://apnews.com/article/ronald-reagan-national-airport-crash-cebb142d24859ba0c4e0e4fd6c33773f
  13. And the video below has more external footage of the low level flying.
