What fucking border are you patrolling in the middle of the East Coast? The use of border patrol for this Nazi shit really strengthens the idea that they just called up the most racist parts of the police system to do these raids.
I honestly think that just the damage that's been done to climate change initiatives might be enough. We had a ton of steam going in to 2025, and this year has set us back by decades. I'm afraid that having such a prominent producer of GHG and pollution pull away so sharply will have knock on effects to other countries. After all, if the US doesn't play ball, why should a smaller industrial country try to be cleaner?
Hopefully there's still willpower and (more importantly) time to fix our shit before people start dying en masse. I kind of have my doubts at this point though. I'm pretty sure we will only start to truly prioritize it once it has a large impact on daily life, and that point will be far too late.
“Kelly’s conduct brings discredit upon the armed forces and will be addressed appropriately,” Hegseth said on his personal X account. Of the wider group, he added that “their foolish screed sows doubt and confusion — which only puts our warriors in danger.”
Hmm. It would seem that if you're only giving blatantly lawful orders, this wouldn't sow doubt and confusion.
I forget what part of the constitution says that the government has carte blanche authority to airstrike random Columbians. Maybe that's what's sowing the doubt and confusion?
Noticing some em dashes in there, so at least some of this is AI.
The parts about corporate infrastructure sound like a c suite dipshit trying to sound like they know what they're talking about.
"Our networks run slower because we have to be compatible with older devices!"
No, Judith, your IT department just keeps 2.4ghz wifi available for the old devices while also running 5ghz. Those devices stay slow, but it doesn't impact anyone else.
"Back in 2010, 100Mb internet was the fastest! No one could imagine gigabit becoming widely available! Stuff needs to be upgraded to handle it!" Judy, tons of businesses were running gigabit in 2010, and common network gear has had gigabit ports for years. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Oh no, we're being so selfish. Why not buy a 10% performance upgrade every two years for $1000 while wages stagnate? Oh, and carriers don't subsidize the cost at all anymore. They call it "free" then lock you into their most expensive plan so you spend thousands more on the plan than if you could have afforded to just buy the phone outright.
Fuck this out of touch reporting.
That makes one of us
I also have big hands, but some plug designs are so low profile that if they are plugged into a particularly tight receptacle, you can't get good leverage to remove them. You get the plug partially out, then try to reposition your grip to pull it the rest of the way or you grab it too far forward and your fingers slip while squeezing, and BAM, zapped.
Power strips are the biggest culprit for this one, since your fingers can end up on the seam between cord and strip and more easily slip under when unplugging.
I am aware, but GFCI is the common term in the US, especially for outlets. RCD is used most other places. I was trying to keep the terminology consistent to what would be expected regionally.
