  • The whistleblower alleged around 60 parts were being improperly stored outdoors, with Boeing ordering employees to move most of them to another location after the FAA issued them a June 2023 notice that it would be doing an inspection.

    He additionally claims the parts were eventually moved back outdoors or became “lost completely.”

    Mohawk alleged his job of handling nonconforming parts became way more demanding after all 737 Max’s were grounded amidst the two deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019, and subsequently returned to production after the FAA gave the go-ahead.

    He claimed that “the overwhelming number of nonconforming parts eventually led his superiors to direct him and others to eliminate or ‘cancel’ the records that designate a part as nonconforming,” the memo stated.

    Maybe putting the parts outside with the rain and UV damage will bring them back to spec

    Do we recognise money as real? No? Then the financial transactions making the world go round are magic. They are founded on magical thinking. Belief made manifest, just as we seek to do. Do we recognise Deus as real? No? Then prayer is magic. Do we recognise the wiccan goddess as real? No? Then wicca is magic. But since we don’t value reality, we can use wicca, if we wish. Soulism has no problem with magical beliefs. When we exert our will to shape our perceptions of reality, what we are doing is called magic. Our belief that reality is untrue is itself not real. How could it be real? Magic sits at the core of soulist praxis

    Oh man I can't read anymore. 150 years of actual socialist struggle making concrete gains for a real transformation of economic modes? Nah just believe whatever you want to be true

    Rowe takes what should be seen as a poignant contradiction in the workplace (and one that can be used to agitate) and instead goes "Hmm well the boss wants to make money and the worker seems to be willing to change falling off scaffolding. This is perfectly equal and good and nothing more to see here."

    There's a small kernel of truth in what he's saying, and he doesn't touch on it because the implications are not good for a boot licker like him. Construction workers are not "willing to take risks" , they are

    1. Propagandised to see safety as a time wasting useless function

    2. Demoralised by what safety measures are in place because most exist to punish workers on the ground for mistakes and not reward continual success

    3. Disciplined by deadlines, piecework, their bosses to go as fast as possible.

    Ironically enough the same people on site that tell everyone to be as safe as possible are also the same ones pushing improbable finish dates for work, workers see this hypocrisy and understand that, without some kind of mass backing them, if they are going to be firm on workplace rules there's a good chance they're next when layoffs come around.



  • ZA/UM's post-Disco projects

    Y12: Cancelled. Full sequel to Disco Elysium, shelved after the departure of Kurvitz, Rostov, and Hindpere.

    P1: Cancelled. Sci-fi game headed by Disco Elysium producer and former ZA/UM shareholder Kaur Kender, who sued the studio after his departure. Staff folded into X7 following cancellation.

    X7: Cancelled. Disco Elysium spin off/standalone expansion headed by Dora Klindžić and Argo Tuulik.

    M0: In development. A smaller-scale Elysium game targeting touchscreen devices.

    C4: In development. ZA/UM's primary remaining project, a large-scale RPG that is not part of the Elysium setting.

    so the only disco Elysium content being developed is a mobile app. What happened to the original 3 devs, have they just disappeared or something

    Well current government of russian federation is trying to whitewash the facts and alter history history as always. I mean they even have their own name for the war - The “great patriotic war” to hide the fact they’ve been allies with Hitler between 1939 and 1941, so I think it’s quite important to remind them of that. Just look at r/pikabu dweebs downvoting away at a simple historical truth.

    And

    There are documented instances of soviet squads dressed as Ukrainian freedom fighters during WWII committing warcrimes against civilian population, Poles and Jews to rob them of support from the populace. Good thing about these kind of affairs is that if they get captured they don't get the benefits of Geneva convention.

    Please replace the relatively sane soldiers with these guys

    Is there a source for this? In the news mega someone also claimed that they raised the salaries of workers and cut political salaries but that turned out to be bogus unfortunately

    Ok I found one source, apparently it was a bank first established as a joint venture with Libya in the 80s https://libyaobserver.ly/inbrief/burkina-faso-nationalizes-libyan-arab-bank-commerce-and-development

    Maybe I'm dense , but I feel like I didn't learn a lot from this article. However reading between the lines, you see Nvidia blowing up in price (not value) because of capital's flight into speculation, i.e. shitcoins and the ai hopes. I mean does Nvidia really have the productive capacity to be worth 2 trillion? Let's be serious about this

    To put it plainly, shipping containers can get hot. Really hot. One study of wine shipments found that containers traveling between Australia and the US reached a maximum temperature of 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius) while at sea.[1]

    Another study conducted by engineers at Xerox found that temperatures in shipping containers on land can drop as low as -21ºF (-29ºC) and reach as high as 135 degrees Fahrenheit (57ºC).[2] The researchers found that the greatest temperature fluctuations occur on land, though containers traveling by sea are still subject to intense heat.
