And the black wamman who almost ran two aircraft into each other on the ground.

Delta flies 757s and 767s on a lot of their Atlanta-Hub routes. Delta has begged for a 757NG for decades now, and Boeing has literally laughed at them.

And DEI Karens is what it says on the tin: a lot of cabin crews are now doing little speeches before takeoff where they talk about "100% of the crew is a minority or LGBTQ!" But they really mean the cabin crew, because the pilots are (Science forgive me) straight huwyte males.

Except for the fact that out of everything I listed, the only thing still in current production is the 787, which is made by a separate division of the company in South Carolina. The 737NG has been out of production for a decade, and the last passenger 757s, 767s, and 777s are all that old or older, and in the case of the -57 and -67, are almost old enough to drink. Boeing 2024 is a giant fuckup, but that doesn't effect the aircraft they produced when the current executives were in elementary school.

The only Boeing products affected are the MAX airliners. 757s and 767s are solid (there have been cases of those aircraft being unharmed in 3.5G pullups), 737s outside of the MAX line (so, anything from 737-400 to 737-800) are from when Boeing was run by engineers. The 737s and 787s are okay.

The big issue today is going to be flight crew (who by federal dictate have to be vaxxed) and cabin crew (who are beginning to be all fucking DEI Karens).

Indians fighting for the Confederacy is easier: Choctaw Confederates is a good book, and you have a couple of good papers out there like Native Americans: A Study of Their Civil War Experience. Amusingly enough, all of my Civil War ancestors were Creeks and Choctaws, either full-blooded or integrated into Native tribes.

For the blacks, it gets harder. There's been a full-court press the last decade to erase any mention of them, to turn it into a myth and a conspiracy theory. National Park Service was compiling a record of all the known mentions of black Confederates in their archives, but stopped suddenly years ago. But even Harvard admits they existed. Bare minimum, somewhere around 10,000 black Confederate combat troops, with about 2-5 times that many as freedmen serving as support troops.

Son, I can trace my dad's family back to when years had three digits, and we're German. Yes, I have ancestors in other wars. :P

I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Printers for networks or MFPs on networks are still a bit wonky.

I'm actually the historian for a bunch of historical groups in my area, including a couple of SCV chapters. Helps that a couple of ancestors died in the Late War of Northern Aggression.

And random people taking out fiber substations. Repeatedly.

Because there were a lot of black Confederates. The Union Army treated freed slaves as captured war materiel and used them as combat engineers in the face of the enemy. A chunk of the "freed" slaves defected back to Confederate lines.

To give you some examples, Sabaton sings about Fritz Haber. "Haber-Bosch, the great alliance, where's the contradiction? Fed the world by ways of science, sinner or a saint?"

I owned a VooDoo 5 video card back in the day. I went 5 years without a working KDE driver for Mandriva for that card.

Nah, I've been using Linux since '98 when I tried out Mandrake. (Which became Mandriva, which is now Mageia...) Drivers suck on Linux, they have always sucked on Linux, and it's the big thing that is keeping the OS from becoming more mainstream.

Am I just getting old or is time moving faster for everyone else too?

There's a song about that.

I don't doubt for a second that the big companies like Sony, Microsoft, Amazon, Disney, or whoever else are paying

A lot of people balk at imagining how many paid shills there are on the Internet. Imagine you run a billion dollar company, and hiring a shill farm boosts your company value by 0.1%. That's a million bucks. Do you think the shills and bot farms cost them a million bucks a year?

I should probably go to the gym.

You could, and surround yourself with thots, vegans and crossfitters. Or just go into the wilderness and pick things up, and put them down. As is tradition.
