Air Force Veteran Transforms World War II Aircraft
Into ‘Fabulous Flamingo’ Motor Home

A former U.S. Air Force master sergeant has put his life’s work to use in a very unique renovation. Wanting to build himself a motor home, he repurposed an old World War II airplane into a functional, mobile living space, naming the 300-square-foot RV the “Fabulous Flamingo.”

“It took about 40 years for that dream to become a reality,”

PSA: You don’t have to upgrade to iOS 15!

Apple will keep updating iOS 14, which means fewer downsides to waiting.

For the first time ever, if you want to put off the iOS 15 update for a few weeks or months, you can do that without missing out on important security updates. This is because Apple is planning to continue updates for any phone or tablet that runs iOS 14 or iPadOS 14.

Highly Configurable Open-source Microscope Cooked up in Freecad

SNOWDEN:
The All-Seeing "i": Apple Just Declared War on Your Privacy

Apple plans to push a new and uniquely intrusive surveillance system out to many of the more than one billion iPhones it has sold

Apple’s new system, regardless of how anyone tries to justify it, will permanently redefine what belongs to you, and what belongs to them.

Once the precedent has been set ... Apple itself will lose all control over how that precedent is applied.

Government Accidentally Releases Documents on "Psycho-Electric" Weapons

The government has all kinds of secrets, but only a true conspiracy theorist might suspect that "psycho-electric weapons" are one of them. So it's odd that MuckRock... received mysterious documents about mind control, seemingly by accident.

The federal government has experimented with mind control in a variety of methods, but the documents are not marked as official.

GOOD NEWS, FANS!

OnlyFans said it would still allow creators to POST NUDE PHOTOS and videos if they were in line with its terms of service, which are to be updated.

They must have been shocked -- I tell you -- SHOCKED when the BBC found that there was ILLEGAL NUDITY on their site. They have pledged to "RUB" it out!

OnlyFans promised more attention will be paid to the future promotion of prostitution, bestiality, and incest.

Engineers Work to Open Boeing Starliner's Valves

Boeing's Starliner CST 100 – aka the Calamity Capsule – continues to remain firmly wedded to Earth as engineers work to resolve a problem with valves in the spacecraft's thruster systems.

Its previous effort made an early return to Earth in 2019... NASA had been a little too focused on making sure new kid SpaceX did everything right, and assumed Boeing knew what it was doing.

Why Some of the Smartest People Can Be So Very Stupid

Stupidity was something very different and much more dangerous: dangerous precisely because some of the smartest people, the least dumb, were often the most stupid.

Crudely put, (stupidity) occurs when you don’t have the right conceptual tools for the job. The result is an inability to make sense of what is happening and a resulting tendency to force phenomena into... pigeonholes.

Hurry Up, Uncle Elon!

SpaceX says that Starlink user terminals for moving vehicles will be ruggedized to withstand "harsh environments" with extreme levels of heat and cold.

Earth Station in Motion (ESIM) "has been ruggedized to handle harsher environments so that, for example, it will be able to continue to operate at greater extremes of heat and cold, will have improved snow/ice melt capabilities..."

I put my Starlink reservation MONTHS ago... waiting!

Home Depot is Selling Power Tools that REQUIRE ACTIVATION In-store!

Shoplifting and then selling power tools is a lucrative enterprise for some criminals. To combat this, Home Depot is starting to sell power tools that will not work unless they are activated at the checkout counter.

We would be really interested in getting our hands on one of these power tools to see what this kill switch looks like and how it works.

Big Tech agrees to SPY ON US for the NSA's Five-Eyes Spooks...

Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft are all partnering with the NSA.

“The Group will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.”

They are “adding to” the pre-existing list… admitting the group (aka Big Tech) already has access to the intelligence-sharing database!
