Ah of course. I think Boston as well and maybe that super federal (NOVA?) part around DC.

Sounds like the SF Bay Area, SoCal, NY, GTA, VAN, or London.

This was the late 2000s but knew a person actively working on long range ballistic missile interception. Asked, “how does it work? Is it like a shotgun or explosion where you explode when closing in on the other missile?”

Turns out the most reliable method was kinetic. A pencil hitting a pencil on the order of kilometers a second making contact way up in the atmosphere.

My limited understanding is this was nowhere near 100% reliable at the time, but there were successes. Some real crazy shit when you think about it.

I wonder how this works in the Purgiverse.

You can’t register a title during the purge (I assume), so the next day you’d be driving a car someone else owns and be forced to return it legally?

Sorry the business closes before sunset so you can’t steal it!

He’s used that sign off on a couple other messages. It is such an odd change of tone.

Makes me think it’s some weird manipulation tactic, or like the 17th time he says it it’s a code word to dismantle Congress or some shit.

There just aren’t enough criminal immigrants to reach our lofty goals. Turns out people motivated enough to leave their nation of birth and come here despite all the obstacles generally don’t want to fuck around once they arrive.

We can kick out immigrants and restrict international students until the cows come home. We will be worse for it because the US consistently fails to educate and up skill our own citizens en masse.

Aside from the moral issues, we just invested probably 150k in this kid’s education, and NOW we pay more to deport him?

It’s a good question. The flat fee is already covered by your item purchase, so at worst it would be 2.5-3.5% of the donation amount, which isn’t terrible.

I don’t understand the post title.

6th grade me thought the Supreme Court was the coolest branch of government. Objective, wise, and infallible.

We’re all just people I guess

In the US cops have been known to deploy ‘Stingray’ devices that spoof a cell tower and create a record of every phone in the area. In the context of a protests, these records could be used to determine who attend multiple events, who the likely organizers are, etc to create lists of undesirable people who may receive special attention from law enforcement.

More specifically, if shit goes down at a protest there is digital record of your attendance. It’s very easy to go from a peaceful protester to a criminal in the eyes of the government.

Sorry I read that in a different report here: https://apnews.com/article/iran-explosions-israel-tehran-00234a06e5128a8aceb406b140297299

Israel’s military said about 200 aircraft were involved in the initial attack on about 100 targets. Two security officials said the country’s Mossad spy agency was also able to position explosive drones inside Iran ahead of time and then activate them to target missile launchers at an Iranian base near Tehran.

Crazy that within just a couple weeks Ukraine and now Israel have successfully smuggled drones into a country. Terrifying new vector of war.

First time I’ve seen WG mentioned on Lemmy. Broadly anti government with a lot else mixed in is a great description lmao.

Too bad it caught a ban. The community generally did a great job at keeping the racist assholes out.

You can fire .223 in a firearm rated for 5.56mm pressure

.308 is the opposite. It has more pressure than 7.62mm

Most any new barrel is going to be rated for both pressures now a days, but always good to doublecheck!

Sure but this looks like Microsoft complying with sanctions. I was unaware sanctions were applied to the ICC, which is complete nonsense.

Reading this in an ad tech context (Demand Side Platform, where businesses pay money to get their ads into the marketplace) read equally true. Their margin is roughly 50-60%

Edit: Amazon is a DSP in the advertising space

Not only that, it’s park that generates tourist revenue. As a Bay Area native it’s a completely absurd proposal I never thought I would hear, let alone from a sitting President.

One of our cats loves this tunnel. They sit up through hole looking like a Decepticon.
