And ICE will pick up those immigrants by Monday, never to be seen again.

Good to know when I bought a muhle razor.
So much cheaper using a double-edge/safety razor! Even when buying "expensive" blades

According to the list of precision metal, probably German.

Tower of London had a 62 gun salute at one point.
I recommend a 69 gun salute.
It's classy, has that "I'm bigglier than you" motif, and is automatically DOGE-compliant.

There are no details in the article.
Literally nothing.
Or maybe there is a paywall, and all I can read is a summary?

Oregon law requires fall protection for more than 6 feet.

I mean, they had fall protection. Just not adequate fall protection.

Fall protection is also super subjective (unless it's a legal term in the US?).
Fall protection is suitable access platforms and handrails to prevent falls.
I imagine "fall protection" - as the article means - is more about reducing the injuries of falling in a wide open space. I think they mean a fall-arrester. It stops your fall, unless something else does.
It doesn't protect you from falling into something.

Something like the Petzl Absorbica is a fall arrester. It's essentially a "safety cord" sewed together with special thread in a tiny bag. If you actually fall on it, the stitching un-stitches in a way that arrests your fall without breaking your back - but it isn't pleasant. They are a one-time-fall, but better than the one-time-use of living.
You still fall, but it's safer that hitting the deck.

They are pretty short (tech spec says 0.5ft), and they expand to ~6.5 ft when fallen on.
So, imagine you are working 6ft from where you can safely clip on, using a 6ft lanyard to extend the absorbica. That's not far.
You might think a fall from that is 12 feet. 6 feet from point, plus 6 feet of absorbica.
Or it could be 18 feet. Cause you are clipping onto something that is 6 feet below you using a 6 foot lanyard: 6 feet fall to be level with the point, 6 feet fall for the lanyard to be effective, 6 feet for the absorbica to arrest your fall. This is a "factor 2" fall. It's brutal.

Fall protection used incorrectly is borderline worse than no fall protection, because it gives you a false sense of confidence - certainly at lower heights.
Same with incorrect fall protection.

There might have been some sort of retractable fall arrester provided (like an auto-belay. A fixed spool thing with a wire rope that attaches to your harness, and after you reach a certain descent speed it kicks in and slows/limits/stops your descent speed).
It might have been suitable and rigged appropriate for the planned work. But the worked wasn't trained or informed in it's use, and climbed above the fall arrester - resulting in a factor 2 fall. Like, a "55 foot fall arrester" meaning the fall arrester is capable of being used 55 feet below it. Not that you rig this device in your work environment, clip it to your harness, and you are invulnerable from fall damage within 55 feet of it - you might not even be safe within 10 feet of it. Retractable fall arresters are not designed for factor 2 falls. They are designed to always be above the human

Nobody should have to go through this, and the company is responsible for this.
If they can prove that the employee was trained according to laws/regulations and executed everything according to laws/regulations/design, then the laws/regulations need to be updated or clarified.
If there is any doubt, punish the company and clarify the regs/laws.
Make sure this doesn't happen again. Health & safety, or OSHA or whatever, is written in blood

While I would love for the fact that republicans are seeing the potential over-reach of "trans bad" bills, this more seems like they are voting against a bill that punishes parents for their decisions in child care - as opposed to opposing a bill that punishes parents in their decisions for supporting their child.

The former is about what the parents think is right, the later is about respecting and supporting people.

The former could be in line with trans/gay conversion.
The latter is respecting humanity.

The whole "driving through the state" thing is also far too broad, considering there is no risk to life.
Driving through a state with state-illegal firearms, or quantities of drugs/alcohol/whatever that indicates intent to sell: I get it, you want a utopia without that bullshit (I don't get firearms, but "not my circus, not my monkeys"). Ultimately, these things have the potential to directly harm others.
Driving through a state with a kid you love, care for and support and some cop reckons they have the wrong genitals? Wtf. That doesn't hurt anyone. Wtf.

Cudos to the Rep Howell for being able to convince republicans away from "trans bad". For knowing how to talk to them, and speak to them in a way they can understand, and in a way that (potentially) changes their mind.
And cudos to those republicans that voted against this bullshit. For realising the bill for what it is.
Fuck the republicans that voted for it. I hope they invested in both Trump and Melania coin, got rug pulled, and are now watching the rest of their stock portfolio turn to ash

The fact that this bill was every floored is abhorrent. The fact that people think such a bill can be floored is abhorrent. The fact that it wasn't unanimously struck down is abhorrent

Thank you for sharing a laugh

Nonononono, that was his LAST term.
He's already clarified that was moot when he fucked with the (art of the) trade deals he negotiated then.
If you are thinking in terms of terms (4 years) or years (1 year) you are daydreaming. Get your head out of your head! Get into the here & now. Grab the here by the now! Week on week? Weak eats weak. Day at a time, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second, trade by trade

Threaten, bully, strong-arm. That's how you business. That's how you run a casino. That's how you win. The house always wins, so it's time to double down!
We aren't looking at yesteryear or even yesterday. It's not even about the forecasts of tomorrow.
It's about the here and now.
Markets are closed? Don't care.
Markets are shut down due to a selling circuit breaker? Don't care.
Markets are open? Why aren't we buying?

It's all about line goes up. And if it doesn't go up, it's about buying.
You see, winners buy the dip. Everyone should be buying right now. And the US tariffs that. Tariff the buy, so other people pay to make the line go up.
If the US is selling, the US is being swindled. So buy the dip.

(Idk what the fuck this is. Some drunken ramblings. I hope everyone is doing well, even if we are all being fucked over financially)

What a clown

If it adds to the content, then it is worth something. So make someone worth something.
If it doesn't matter, add a random screenshot of kernel code.

The "worth something" doesn't even have to be financial.
Find a nice image that someone has made which is linux-related, and ask if you can use it & credit the author.
If no, try someone else.

If that's too much work, use a random screenshot of kernel code ...

There are artists out there that have already freely shared some really cool art, that would love to be able to point to publications that they have permitted to use it.
If you have some budget, pay them. Value the time involved.

Just not AI filler BS. I'm not going to see some filler AI art and go "oh yeh, I'm going to use that for X/Y/Z".
But if I see some cool art, I'm inclined to commission something for an actual use case

Am I right in saying the whole idea of the stream was to show that Starlink can support gaming?
And he'd rather blame the product/service he owns and is trying to promote, than laugh about dying in a fucking video game

Tape storage is great for backups and archival storage.
Maintaining it physically is very well understood.
The tapes are physically disconnected from the tape drive, so it's extremely difficult to get accidentally (or maliciously) overwritten/tampered.
They are much more resilient to bit rot & data degregation.
And for things like archival & backup, the extremely slow (or impossible) random access isn't an issue.
Modern LTO is as fast as an SSD, and has huge data density.

They might save 1m per year over the next few years, but I imagine the savings will reduce as the cost of maintaining HDDs increases.
