    Plot twist: the woman in the photo thought it would be funny to color her headset to look like ears - the AI was spot on, and here we are mocking it because it doesn’t display the flawed version we’re convinced is correct.

      They are very light and tan for example is a common colour in equipment. Does anyone know what those actually are and what colour the pads would have been?

        In modern History, David Clark is very popular for aviation headsets and has a classic green that has been in use for at least a few decades. The company was formed in 1935 but I didn’t find any relevant product history, so this is very loose speculation

        Do we know if the photo is older or newer?

          They look like fabric covers over the headsets. I guess it could be almost any light color.

    I saw WASP, forgot my history for a second, and thought this was some white nationalist thing.

    Looked this woman up, and she had a career as a pilot and test pilot after the war. Some bad ass stuff that involved bailing out of planes trying out experimental technologies.

    She lived to be ninety years old.

    Finally, those forties women really had a look to them. Maybe I’m a terrible member of the patriarchy for saying that, but I can’t not appreciate aesthetics when I see them.

      This oozes pickme energy. I think it’s the preemptive deference to an imaginary progressive adversary, whom you expect to virtually chastise you with mean words for finding a woman gasp attractive.

      For future reference: don’t apologize before someone is offended.

        I’m sorry, but preemptive apologies are fine.

        Anyone telling you otherwise is anti-Canadian. 😜

    Hmm, you’ve just bridged some content from BlueSky to the Fediverse … Haven’t you heard? We’re supposed to be burning those bridges.
