Unrelated to the incident, but I'm getting really fucking tired of articles using some unknown set of people posting online as justification for the conclusions of their articles. I don't give half a shit what someone posted on the departments facebook page. I give a shit about the incident at hand. Don't tell me how other people reacted online and expect me to do the same. Tell me what happened and let me come to my own conclusion.

Garbage article and garbage cop.

In case people aren't clear, these soldiers are the operators of the additional THAAD system they are deploying to Israel. These aren't infantry being sent to kick in doors alongside the IDF. THAAD is a ballistic missile defense system with no offensive capabilities. We already have a THAAD unit deployed to Israel.

Don't be mad because you expect to see headlines saying US Soldiers are killing civilians in Gaza. Be mad because this enhances Israel's ability to continue escalating conflict with Iran and hiding behind US cover when Iran strikes back.

He and his mob associate thought they'd use a million dollars of jems to make a movie prop? Neither of them thought that maybe the insurance valuation was due to their history? Not the brightest pair of criminals I've ever heard of.

I have a tattoo that means "I don't know, I don't speak japanese." It works when an English speaker asks me what it means, and it also worked with the Japanese when I lived in Japan and didn't speak the language.

Not to minimize this, but could have been much worse. 100's of gallons instead of 1000's. Train remained upright. Sounds like they got lucky.

Why are we updating a four month article as if it just happened? I'm noticing this happens fairly often on Lemmy.

Parents seriously need to be more aware of what kids are doing on their phones. Why the hell is a 12 year old on snapchat to begin with?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt snapchat requires photo ID in order to make an account. Besides requiring ID, it's not clear to me how else snapchat would be able to know that she is a minor and that the perpetrator is a sex offender.

I 100% would not want an image like that to pop up in front of a coworker. I'm on board with you, OP.

Practical Engineering video explaining why this is an inherently difficult task, even for a country that has the money to better maintain their grid.

Yeah, the article comes to a conclusion that directly contradicts the source they quoted.

Or there could be poor signal due to terrain.

Seriously. When did all these slammed/rebuked/savaged/destroyed headlines start showing up? I don't give a fuck what 3 random people on Twitter said about anyone.

Her interrogation can be found on YouTube. It's been a while, but I think you hear the audio of the incident. It was definitely deliberate.

You say that like they're trying to hide it, but it's literally the stated purpose of the Selective Service registration. Nothing surreptitious about it.

"He just keeps losing"

I dislike Musk as much as any of you, but why is this in World News?

"Who cares what somebody's skin colour is if they need help?"

Exactly. Helping people is helping people, regardless of who.

Thanks to this I went browsing through that sub. These people are openly blatantly calling for torture of detainees in Guantanamo.

"And Russia's internal security service, the FSB, recently said it foiled a Ukrainian plot to destroy its last remaining aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov. The ship, launched in 1985, has been undergoing repairs since 2018."

I hope Ukraine can still make this happen. That would a be huge win, even if the carrier is never functional and isn't in the black sea. Imagine if Russia no longer even had a carrier. That'd be one way to put them in their place.

They don't follow the grid frequency because the EU or US regulations require it, they follow the grid frequency because physics demands it.

It's very common to have bars staffed by foreigners immediately outside of US bases in South Korea.

This article was from September, and so far I haven't heard any updates.

What an unfortunate name for a journalist.

This article mentions 330 vehicles and 13 containers. By US military terms, that is absolutely nothing. Nothing compared to the equipment we keep stored and maintained in other locations. I feel like the article makes this seem more significant than it is. This is not even a drop in the bucket, let alone enough to call stockpiling as the article does.

This article is a week old.

Why is his smile so off-putting? Is this the first time I've actually seen it?

I'm really excited for this. I've considered getting a licator beacon for emergencies while hiking and camping, but didn't want to pay a monthly subscription for something I wouldn't use every month.

Try reading the article.

Eligible for 40 years to life. Let's hope it's life.

The loophole is they never applied for federal jobs or benefits so they fell through the cracks. Hence the fix.

That already exists with UTC, but the fact that people don't use it day to day speaks to how much more convenient localized times are.

'The terrorist wrote in his letter that he was warned by an attorney and a professor “that US law permit the US President to sentence to death any federal prisonneer [sic] deem to be a threat to National security.”'

He says that the President can do this, but it's something I've never heard of and I can't find anything to back his claim up. Is this even true?

Edit: Seems like something the author should have verified as well.

Seriously. Don't cover your eyes and pretend you can't see why the government treats US companies different than companies that are directly in the hands of adversaries. They might not care if Meta uses it to profit off of us, but they certainly do care if China will use it to achieve an advantage over us, militarily or otherwise.

'The Houthi leader vowed to continue the attacks until Israel lifts its blockade of Gaza, saying that “nothing – not all the threats, the missiles, the pressure – will change our position.”'

The Houthis say the strikes will never change their stance, but their stance doesn't matter if they don't have the military assets to attack commercial shipping.

Army combat uniforms even come pretreated with it.

Interesting headline, but not exactly what I mean. I've just been really annoyed lately by headlines that use a very small group of people's reactions and extrapolate them out to imply that the majority of a group or population think that way.

Things like "X politician railed for X." There's nothing substantive in that statement. I want news, not journalists telling me the reactions of nobody I care about.

Sometimes you've got to appreciate some good luck.

That's not what the article says...

That is quite an interesting set of political beliefs this guy has.

I often see buildings in Japan that have a manual sliding door followed by either a push button or proximity automatic door. If I am going to have to open one door myself, I might as well open both. If one is automatic, the other might as well be too.

Predominantly black would indicate whoever drew the districts was trying to suppress the pull of the black population, no?
