Could be that civilians don't want to be near them because they are scared. Russian soldiers returning from Ukraine are committing all sorts of violent crimes.
I mean would YOU want to be within 20' feet of someone who has a high likelihood of being drunk, suffering from PTSD, and a member of an especially violent and brutal military force?
The Title Company has to be sweating bullets right now. It's their whole job to prevent problems like this.
This particular School District has pulled this stunt so many times that the State of Texas passed a damn law, called the CROWN Act, to make them stop! They're back it claiming that the CROWN Act doesn't regulate length or color.
The CROWN Act sailed through the Texas Legislature with strong bi-partisan support and Gov Abbott even held a formal signing ceremony for it. How god damned racist do you have to be that even those people think you've gone too far?
Another great example is "Chunk" from the Goonies (1985). He was considered so fat that it was comic relief. Now you can walk through any Middle School in the United States and find dozens, if not hundreds, of kids that are MUCH larger!
It's all kinds of bots; Russian, Chinese, Liberal, Conservative, but most of all its Reddits own bots meant to inflate traffic stats ahead of the IPO.
I'd like the Steam Machine to come back with the addition of being an HTPC. Why? Because Valve is big enough to arm wrestle streaming services into releasing an official app.
I basically want a user customizable, privacy respecting Xbox.
This is way way wider than just browsers. Anything that can display webp images is vulnerable and that includes things like MS Teams and Twitch.
The "No Fly List" is unconstitutional garbage. The list is secret, you can't get the fuck off of it, and it's absolutely riddled with errors.
I applaud SCOTUS for not allowing the Federal Government to retract Fikre's listing and then claim the issue is "moot" to avoid a potentially unfavorable ruling.
The No Fly List needs to be de-invented. Immediately.
Lemmy really really needs instance blocking. Yes I know some clients have it but Lemmy itself needs a way to enable users to fully block another instance and all of its communities.
I find it sad that instead of spending her golden years with her husband and daughter that she instead spent them being wheeled around the Capital Building desperately trying to pretend that she was still healthy and relevant.
Hopefully this incentivizes a few more geriatrics to go home instead of spending their final years "on the hill".
Jia Tan, University of Hong Kong in China. He’s been the sole maintainer of the package for almost two years.
The question I'd like to ask them is WHY they want to get involved in Content Moderation. They make a toolset, nothing more, so why do they care what someone is using the tools for? What could they possibly get out of this that makes it worth the time or expense?
It's not that the titanium metal is fake, it's probably real. By "fake" what they mean is that the part made with the titanium isn't what the documentation for it claims. It may have been made by a different company than what the documentation says or it may not have been tested in the way that the documentation says.
Every last piece, down to the tiniest screw, in a commercial airplane has a paper trail and for these parts someone is saying that the paper trail has been falsified. That's the "fake" part.
Screw Trump but this whole article is nothing more than conjecture from two dudes on twitter. When the hell did stuff like this become news?
Trump has been warned about a vast number of things by an incredibly wide variety of people and organizations. He's been warned by members of his own family, close personal associates, business associates, numerous lawyers, various Federal and State Law Enforcement agencies, various Federal and State Courts, numerous politicians inside his own party, multiple former Presidents and at least two former Vice Presidents, one of which is known to shoot people and have them apologize for it.
He doesn't listen and he never will as long as the warnings about consequences don't come true.
Perhaps I'm just brain dead, I've been accused of it often enough, but I can't figure out what the stupid thing is good for.
I'd like to read the article but holy hell there's over 700 companies in their tracking cookie policy!
Luckily there's an archive of it: https://archive.ph/Yrcda
"NGI provided the seed funding for many of the leading (fediverse / activitypub) projects, such as ActivityPods, Bonfire, Castopod, Flarum, ForgeFed, Funkwhale, GNU social, Hubzilla, Indigenous, Kbin, Keyoxide, Lemmy, Mastodon, Mobilizon, Owncast, PeerTube, PixelDroid, Pixelfed, Pleroma and Xwiki. NGI also funded bridging mechanism for various communication protocols, such as XMPP, Matrix."
If you're reading this comment then you benefited from NGI funding. The full 85 page report is available here: https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/257ae66f-23c7-11ef-a195-01aa75ed71a1/language-en/format-PDF/source-324755022
I dunno where Republicans got this idea that they can control the behavior of their citizens in other States but it's unbelievably fucking stupid and enraging. No one is "owned" by a State simply because they are a resident of it. That's some straight up Lord / Serf kind of thinking.
Your comment made me go do the math and a TCM is, in fact, between 3.5 and 4 times faster than the fuel efficiency speed of a Cessna 206.
Kudos to you good Person.
So the author proposes using not one but two legally questionable tactics to send Ukraine artillery shells that are actually worse than useless!?!
As the article correctly notes the US quit using those M483A1 and M864 DPICM rounds because of their high failure rate. If Ukraine were to fire even 2,000 of these per day that means there would be 280 (or more) unexploded bomblets lying on the ground just waiting for a unsuspecting soldier or child to wander by and set it off.
It gets mind bogglingly worse the longer they are used too, as after just a year there would be over 100,000 of the damn things laying around!
So no, they shouldn't be used anywhere...unless you want to spend the next hundred years dealing with the unexploded ordinance littering your terrain!
Republicans need to STFU and get back to funding the real stuff. THAT is the answer, not legal chicanery to send shit ordinance.
I have YT Premium and I really don't mind paying. I watch a LOT of YT and making sure the creators I follow get paid for their work is important to me.
Even worse, the shooter wasn't a "cop" he was a "Constable" and the distinction is important. A Constable isn't allowed to carry a gun nor are they allowed to physically evict a tenant. They're allowed to serve the paperwork, which he'd already done 4 days prior, and that's it. That's as far as their authority goes.
This guy was genuinely out looking for a situation where he could shoot someone and after he shot Magnus he tried to do it AGAIN not a month later.
Sounds great, now how are they proposing to tax the wealthy. You know, those people who have a jet set lifestyle but no income to tax?
This is great, and I don't mean that in a "fuck landlords" way either. It was good to see the DoJ start anti-trust action against RealPage and it's great that it's continuing. The Government has a true role to fill as Referee in the Marketplace and they've been absent for far too long.
I'd also add that there's no official or legal record of this property transfer. The story is supported by nothing more than an entry in Zillow that has since been removed.
This smells of graft.
It IS graft. I've forgotten where I ran into the information but someone tracked it down. Taylors (the machine company) has an exclusive contract with McDonald's Corporate for the machines and McDonald's Corporate receives a portion of the service revenue whenever a Taylor machine is "fixed".
That's why McDonald's is fighting Kytch / helping Taylor.
As a 2A Advocate / Gun Guy all I can say is GOOD. Parents who do this deserve to held legally responsible.
This chart really highlights the problem; since 2014 overall inflation is 31% but MCDONALDS inflation is at 100%!
Correct me, but we are yet to see a trans person winning anything or achieve a significant record anywhere.
The article itself has this to say:
"Thomas was the first openly transgender athlete to win a Division I title in any sport, finishing in front of three Olympic medalists for the championship."
I'd say that winning a Div1 title ahead of three Olympic Medalist is somewhat significant.
Europe CANT do more. They don’t have the military strength due to perpetual underfunding. It’s precisely what every US President since Bill Clinton has been bitching about. The wolf is at the door and they’re every bit as unprepared as has been claimed for the last 30 years.
The women got their cars back, this case wasn't about that, but SCOTUS really needs to deal with the "Civil Asset Forfeiture" monster that they created.
This article from January has more detail in it.
The idea that The Department of Labor and Standards can show up with a Court Order and be denied entry is mind boggling.
it’s about pushing boundaries.
China is going to keep pushing boundaries until they get punched in the mouth.
It's surprising to me how often high profile Democrats, who really should know better, make racially stereotyped comments like this.
What are some of these connections men need out of a marriage?
Basically the same connections that women need out of a marriage. A peer group, a purpose, and friend groups to share interests with.
Unfortunately many, if not most, people simply don't know how to go about it. They throw themselves into their work and whatever of their time is leftover gets dedicated to family. The interests and friends that they had prior to marriage and kids are left behind and those sacrifices leave them feeling alone and unfulfilled. They also don't understand WHY they feel that way when to the best of their understanding they're doing everything right!
Marriage isn't, except in exceedingly rare instances, a "one stop shop" where your partner somehow magically fulfills your every need. That's straight up Disney Movie bullshit.
People, regardless of gender identity, absolutely REQUIRE relationships outside of their marriage.
You ain't seen nothing yet. When the F-16s show up Ukraine will finally able to use all three modes of the NATO AG-88 HARM. Right now they are restricted to the Pre-Briefed mode where they have to program the target before take-off. However when launched from the F-16 the AG-88 can also use Target of Opportunity Mode and Self Protect Mode.
Self Protect mode uses the F-16s sensor package to find active Radar Installations and alert the pilot there is a threat to the aircraft in the area. Target of Opportunity mode does the same thing but it uses the AG-88's sensors instead of the aircraft's sensors and will alert that it has a target even if the radar isn't a direct threat to the aircraft.
The SP and TOO modes of the AGM-88 allow an F-16 to perform SEAD / Wild Weasel missions. At that point lots and lots of Russian air defense systems are going to go poof which will free Ukraine to run its native Jet Fighter fleet farther into occupied territory and allow them to more safely perform CAS missions to support ground troops.
It's not a war winner on its own but it will give them more freedom to support combined arms operations, allowing them to hopefully crack Russian ground defenses with less loss of men and materials.
Yeah this is an article freaking people out over Pu-238, Pu-239, and Pu-240. All of which are alpha emitters (radiation easily blocked by clothes and skin) and all of them have half lives measures in years or decades.
This article has juuust enough detail to get a reader riled up without actually educating them enough to understand what they are reading.
C'mon Vox...this article is straight garbage.
First you link to the wrong god damned instance of this case at SCOTUSBLOG (McKesson v Doe 2 instead of McKesson v Doe 3) you then don't link, or you know just post, Justice Sotomayor's remarks about why SCOTUS didn't hear this case for the third time.
Of course you probably chose not to link, or state, her full remarks because if you HAD then you wouldn't have been able to write that inflammatory headline.
SCOTUS already resolved this in 2023 with Counterman v. Colorado. It's right there on pages 14/15 in the linked PDF.
Modern Media is a raging dumpster fire of inflammatory bullshit.
Edit: In case it's not clear this Vox article was carefully crafted to leave the reader ignorant and outraged.
