this anti-helicopter booby trap is such a looney tunes way to die. Imagine hopping off a helicopter in Vietnam and look down at this weird lawn ornament and it goes "tink" pic.twitter.com/6QzGG9blmc

My Grandpa did crash investigation in Vietnam & described the results of one of these.
Downforce caused it to go off during landing, pressure wave/disorientation caused pilot to land hard on uneven ground, pilot didn't notice/concussed, got out & walked into overhead propeller.

My @delta flight got canceled from JFK. The customer service line was huge, so I google a Delta JFK phone number. The number was 1888-571-4869 Thinking I reached Delta, I started telling them about getting me on a new flight.

looks like the scammers changed the @delta number in JFK. I suggested a edit to @googlemaps to the real Delta number. pic.twitter.com/HAiGlzkqcu

I remember when Apple proposed their CSAM scanning system in 2021, there were a lot of people complaining about the “slippery slope fallacy” and how we couldn’t just assume that content scanning would be expanded to other purposes. 23 months later: https://t.co/CpkwaKxJHh

It’s time for @satyanadella to respond on these issues. While this update (https://t.co/4d9xSvyLRT) was a great first step at providing Microsoft customers more information, there are still other issues that need to be addressed.

Whenever a faculty member tells me they have something they need to discuss, I tell them Friday morning at 8:30 works for me but it needs to be in person and on campus. That almost always solves the problem.
