He ALREADY testified: he was found dead AFTER.

Barnett's body was found in a vehicle in a Holiday Inn parking lot in Charleston on Saturday, police said. One day earlier, he testified in a deposition about the string of problems he says he identified at Boeing's plant where he once helped inspect the 787 Dreamliner aircraft before delivery to customers.

As someone of color (Indian) who is often mistaken as being foreign/religious until they hear my accent...

I feel the other commenters here are missing the mark. This isn't about fixing them, or learning to "accept them as they are": bigots should never be tolerated.

Which is to say, your reasons for being "bigoted" towards the bigots isn't a matter of prejudice: you've extrapolated a pattern.

But you don't want to apply this pattern unfairly to people you haven't met, because that'd make you bigoted as well.

Well, I have good news for you: you aren't at any risk for that. Real bigots don't think they're bigots. People with prejudices don't consider their judgement unsound. They think they're the most unbiased, reasonable people in the world, and often try to push their opinions on others with violence, whether it's verbal, social, or physical.

By simply acknowledging internally that you have thoughts that you consider unideal, and unfair, you've done a thousand times more self-reflecting, and have more capacity for self-correcting, than someone like my parents would.

Don't try to beat the bad thoughts out of yourself. Acknowledge them, and pledge to act better than they'd have you.

I believe the linux Deb is still "unofficial"

Hold up: what drama? I thought everyone was just dragging their feet on implementing compatibility for it

I fucking hate the whiny answer of "but my/most existing headphones had an aux so I don't like USB-C."

The biggest factor for me is that it simply makes it impossible to charge your phone and use wired headphones at the same time without a special splitter adaptor... Which itself is impossible to roll up with your headphones.

It's designed to be such an inconvenience to the point that you're actually just incentivized to buy wireless headphones. And since it was Apple, that of course meant their very expensive Airpods.

That said, I happily use wireless Bose headphones now anyway, but I did have to ditch my audio technicas for that reason.

@kevincox does anyone other than me even still have motherboard speakers?
