Helicopter carrying Iran's President Raisi crashes, search under way (www.reuters.com)

DUBAI, May 19 (Reuters) - A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog, an Iranian official told Reuters, and rescuers were struggling to reach the site of the incident....

kbotc,

Iran’s president is dead and the King of Saudi Arabia is likely on his way out, but on the other hand, neither of these two wielded actual power.

kbotc,

No one knows how to use trails properly. Runners weaving from side to side with sound canceling earplugs in are also problems. Doesn’t matter how loud I signal if you’re blasting music in your AirPod pros.

kbotc,

Grapes and raisins are a different class. Alliums and chocolate are bad, sure, but if your dog has a bad reaction to grapes and really raisins, it can be 2-3 raisins cause kidney failure. They’re not quite sure about the mechanism, only that it doesn’t take much and isn’t an always thing.

kbotc,

So, not the mRNA vaccines, like the J&J vaccine.

kbotc,

Dynamically sized but stored contiguously makes the systems performance engineer in me weep. If the lists get big, the kernel is going to do so much churn.

It’s “buttermilk” just add water, so I suspect there’s some dairy flavoring of some kind in there.

EDIT: Yea, it’s flour, sugar, a leavener, starch, salt, a bit of soybean oil, some dehydrated egg whites, and dehydrated buttermilk

kbotc,

The internet has that at least?

For egg whites, it’s not too bad to make them yourself with a dehydrator.

kbotc,

Agar agar is a bit of a laxative, so I may suggest you find another thickening agent. I think the store you are looking for is a baking supply store for most weird flavorings and powders. Restaurant supply may also have aisles as well, though the good ones are harder to come by. If only the modernist pantry had a storefront.

Liquid eggs are pretty easy too: Just pasteurize the darn things with a sous vide machine. Hold them at 130 for a few hours.

kbotc,

The NSA couldn’t really work in the US before this, but they were free and encouraged to work in foreign countries. You should look up how the “five eyes” actually worked, and ECHELON before it: Your data stored overseas is fair game for the NSA. Inside the country they needed a secret warrant to nab it.

kbotc,

Israel didn’t do shit to make us kill Soleimani. Soleimani was literally meeting with someone who we blamed for an attack on the US embassy in Iraq. He was the other person killed in the strike. Iran knew they fucked up there, which is why their response was throwing a fairly ineffective barrage at a military base and then shooting down their own civilian airliner.

kbotc,

Israel blew up a compound where the IRGC was training Hezbollah. Go look up who died in the attack, no one’s refuting that bit of data. Hezbollah’s been in open conflict with Israel for months now.

kbotc,

We have no idea what Iran was actually aiming at. So far they only managed to kill some people in Jordan and a Bedouin child in Israel.

kbotc,

The Palestinians had self rule before 1917?

kbotc,

Known liar claims someone else was going to help him do something bad after getting in trouble for it.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Heartbleed vulnerability in OpenSSL, which had the same ultimate root cause as recent XZUtils backdoor incident (optimizedbyotto.com)

The XZ Utils backdoor, discovered last week, and the Heartbleed security vulnerability ten years ago, share the same ultimate root cause. Both of them, and in fact all critical infrastructure open source projects, should be fixed with the same solution: ensure baseline funding for proper open source maintenance.

kbotc,

This entire post is asinine. The root cause of Heartbleed was the RFC was fucked. A German graduate student wrote and implemented an RFC, and was then reviewed by the only full time (and paid) member of the OpenSSL team. Claiming it was because it wasn’t funded is stupid on its face as Dr. Henson was paid for his review.

XZ’s problem was that the maintainer had a mental breakdown and lacking structure to vet the replacement, he handed control off to what seems like a very sophisticated attack group. Money would not have fixed one of the fundamental problems with anarchistic-style code production, which is how do you trust the people who vet the code?

France votes to ban ‘forever chemicals,’ exempting frying pans (www.politico.eu)

The French National Assembly on Thursday unanimously adopted a bill aimed at restricting the manufacture and sale of products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — also known as PFAS or “forever chemicals.” The MPs, backed by the government, voted to exclude kitchen utensils from the scope of the text....

kbotc,

I just would probably avoid a tomato sauce in cast iron, high carbon steel, or aluminum pans. That’s what stainless is for.

kbotc,

If you came from Reddit, it’s chapotraphouse. When they were banned they made a Lemmy. Same vaguely violent meme content.

Republicans Worry They Could Lose the House—Before the Election (time.com)

When Republicans gained control of the House in November 2022, many in Washington wondered how they would be able to govern effectively with one of the slimmest majorities in history. Some Democrats even speculated if they might be able to take back the House before the term ended....

kbotc,

Bobo’s out ill, soo… That threshold has been reached.

kbotc,

They can push proper funding bills through which would help calm investors and improve the economy/lower inflation which would help next election a ton.

kbotc,

He’s talking about Andres Freund, who uncovered the OpenSSL backdoor that was slipped into liblzma from the xz malicious maintainer. Dude saw a valgrind error and a function with a fixed runtime was taking too long and using too much CPU and reversed out and saved a major ssh backdoor from going upstream as Fedora was going to release it just days later.

Our Trump reporting upsets some readers, but there aren’t two sides to facts: Letter from the Editor (www.cleveland.com)

The truth is that Donald Trump undermined faith in our elections in his false bid to retain the presidency. He sparked an insurrection intended to overthrow our government and keep himself in power. No president in our history has done worse....

kbotc,

No, they’re just trying to push “It wasn’t an insurrection. It was just a protest, and protests are American!”

kbotc,

CDs have ~700 mb storage because that’s how many bytes it took to store 74 minutes, which was how long a CD needed to be to store Wilhelm Furtwängler’s 1951 recording of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. That was the longest copy of the Symphony they could find and so that’s what set the standard.

kbotc,

Ink also runs when wet, so caveat emptor if you plan on your paper existing anywhere with water.

kbotc,

As much as you really fucking hate to hear it: Biden won both his primaries handedly. The only way Bernie had a shot is if they clowncarred it too long like the Republican nomination that led to Trump. The DNC did not drop the ball, the American voters chose Biden.
