“Well, the one that’s alive can still bribe us, so…”

Depends who the Supreme Court likes more!

The shuttle in the series is much larger on the inside than the outside.

LOL. In the abstract, it’s pretty funny. (In reality it would not be funny at all.) I can imagine right after the election, “So long, sucker.” <blam>

I heard somewhere he has connections to money that Trump needs for the campaign, so that might be what drove it.

It’s pretty clear Vance previously hated Trump. And it’s surprising Trump picked Vance after those comments, but when neither person has a moral compass to stick to, just like the rest of the party, overlooking those kinds of issues becomes much easier.

You’re missing the point. That compromised xz made it into some production distributions. The point here is that shit can happen to Linux, too.

The bullets don’t say that now, but it’s possible they changed the article (they should indicate the changes made, but I don’t see any notes, so who knows). Currently the bullets say:

• Barbara Friedes, a 30-year-old pediatric doctor, was killed on Wednesday when she was hit by a car while riding a bike near Rittenhouse Square.

• Friedes was recently named a chief resident at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

• At the time of the deadly crash, police say, Friedes was wearing a helmet and was riding in a protected bike lane. The driver of the vehicle that struck Friedes has not yet been charged.

There’s a comment in the article that says they don’t know if there was a medical issue:

Police said they do not know at this time if the driver had a medical condition or was intoxicated at the time of the crash.

My frustration here is that “medical issue” is ALWAYS the conclusion people jump to when a driver hits a cyclist, as if there’s no possible way a driver could do anything wrong - despite all evidence to the contrary. “Medical issue” almost never turns out to be the actual reason. It’s almost always drunk, distracted, just hates cyclists so much that they attack them, or some combination of the three. (There are also instances of cyclists being at fault, for example pulling out in front of a car. Those are rare, too, but they do happen.)

I recognize that a sudden, previously unknown medical condition could strike a driver, causing the driver to lose control and inflict damage and injuries. But it’s an extremely rare event.

I love how quickly everyone has forgotten about that xz attack.

I use and love Linux and have for over two decades now, but I’m not going to sit here and claim that something similar to the current Windows issue can’t happen to Linux.

But the ones that didn’t pass or take it at all would still be driving.

Definitely normal here in the US, too. Unfortunately.
