I'm sure you're aware but haveibeenpwned is pretty good for figuring out what breach (and what data was in it)...

Was just having lunch with a bunch of longtime airline mechanics, their pet theory is that because on the MD11 you actually use the nuts to lift the engine into its final place (rather than sitting it in place and screwing the nuts down) there's some shear forces that are extra hard on the screws

The rhetoric about Minneapolis rental prices being bad when we were, literally, the best in the nation over the last 5 years was so infuriating

That kid is in jail for murder now.
