Are they going to keep everybody's battery charged for them?
Not sure where that comes from?
The better question is - are they going to replace the batteries when they get old and near useless? I'm guessing tons of people run their cars into the ground, so replacing batteries at $2000+ once every 8 or so years doesn't seem like something they will want to do.

Well, the gas kinda goes along with @Obsolesce power question... the battery would be more like the engine (not an exact comparison). I suppose a better one would be breaks. Breaks are needed typically every 4-8 years, and cost around $400 (if you don't do them yourself)... that's a long way from $2000+ for batteries.

Sarcasm?
A family's pet passed away, regardless of the stardom of the pet. The family is likely grieving.

US F-16 fighter jet crashes into California warehouse

Someone in my FB feed yesterday posted a video from their cellphone of the aftermath yesterday... I was waiting to hear more news about it.

That has no basis in fact. A random warehouse worker is highly unlikely to have any idea if there was live ordinance on the plane.

USAF won't state otherwise, that's as much admission as there is. That eye witness says there is live ordinance and there is no denial, that's as "confirmed live ordinance" as there can be. Is it the same as the USAF confirming it? No. Is the USAF a trustworthy source however? Not in the least.

Yeah this is unfounded, one worker said that he thought there may have been live ordinances.
What is more surprising if the fuel didn't ignite and explode.

Tell me, how exactly is this random person supposed to know that shit was live or not?
Nope. people are fucking stupid in general. I will not accept this type of statement without any kind of proof.

@DustinB3403 said in Non-IT News Thread:
Yeah this is unfounded,
NBC News reports that there were ordinances and hazmat had to respond because of it. So anyone on the ground would have a really good chance of knowing. Hard to hide the response team, and you can't really stop emergency services from discussing it.

"The jet was carrying ordinance, which prompted a hazardous materials response."

Hazmat would have been there anyway

@scotth said in Non-IT News Thread:

Of course, fuel and all. But they specifically stated that hazmat had to be called for ordinances. Just repeating what was said. That what the news reported is wrong is just speculation. Eye witness reports and news reports both say that there were ordinances. We all know that witnesses and the news can be wrong, but at some point, we have to accept that all accounts agree and there is no reasonable grounds for doubting the people who are there. At a distance, it's idle speculation to think that the accounts at the site were false.
Once we go down that path, all news is fake and the entire point of news no longer exists. It's not like there is conflicting news in this case.
-
I'm agreeing with you. I promise you that when they were dispatched, possible ordinance would be included in the notes and the crews that deal with that would try to be 1st on scene.
