Die Bundesregierung plant, die Verteidigungsausgaben von der Schuldenbremse auszunehmen. Bayerns Ministerpräsident meldet Ansprüche an.

CSU-Chef Markus Söder fordert, dass 25 Prozent der künftigen Verteidigungsausgaben im Rüstungsbereich nach Bayern fließen. Es sei gut, dass Union und SPD sich auf die Entfernung des Deckels für Verteidigungsausgaben in der Schuldenbremse geeinigt hätten, sagte er am Montag nach der Sitzung des CSU-Vorstands in München.

President Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters are motivated by their prejudices, not economic concerns, social scientists contend. Will Democrats stop trying to win their votes?

In January, Smith and his University of Kansas colleague, associate sociology professor Eric A. Hanley, published a 47-page paper deconstructing the Republican president’s appeal. Building on decades of scholarship about the lure of authoritarianism and their own analysis of American voting psychology in 2012 and 2016, the social scientists make an argument that some may find offensive and others unsurprising.

It goes something like this: Trump’s biggest supporters are motivated by bigotry and want him to hurt the people they dislike.

Note: There's a lot to unpack in this article, and this just seems to be the hook.

I used to rip/rub my clothes - absolutely loved the texture of the hems of a ripped up pair of jeans. It’s socially a little odd to keep a piece of denim in your pocket to fidget with.

But my beard? Always with me. Accessible 24/7. The texture is always changing and interesting. Stroking my beard makes me look like a smart person thinking about things. A+++

In the tech sense- what is your favorite way that someone has used systems in unintended ways to do something cool?

I like the one where a guy used a wiimote for head tracking.

We've seen some issues with AZ again today. On investigating it looks like more DDOS/abuse traffic from overseas. I've applied the same sort of block as last time we saw this, and things appear to have returned to normal..

The sharp drop is when the "attack" started, the jump is when it was blocked... the red line is blocked requests.

See Us Soon, Canada

T-72BZ — eliminated.
Work of the operators of the 53rd Brigade ΜΟΝΟΜΑΧΟΣ

Lyman direction

▪️The T-72BZ tank regularly emerged from cover to fire on our positions. It was identified by adjacent forces from the 81st Airmobile Brigade.

▪️Then it was a matter of execution. SIGNUM operators launched a drone, conducted additional reconnaissance, and located the shelter, the tank, and the ammo depot. Signs of activity — fresh tracks, compression marks, water — confirmed the position was active.

▪️The decision came quickly. One shaped charge — and that was it: detonation, fireball, ammo explosions.

Result:
– Tank destroyed;
– Ammo depot as well.
That T-72BZ won’t be rolling out again.

Precise. Effective. Daily.
