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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

"He just keeps losing"

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Try reading the article.

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.

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.

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...

This is only supplying like 3.5 amps, so not going to trip any breakers.

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.

They have more drink vending machines than you'll believe, with a huge variety ofcold and hot drinks and even soup, but essentially no food vending machines.

Concerning the pilot wasn't able to fly it back, I'll with you the best of luck with your endeavor.

Because Jordan had an active role in shooting down Iranian drones and missiles while Iraq did not.

And what sites are those? For a friend, of course.

Pudding

It's completely normal for stores to keep cooked, deli style chicken on non-refrigerated shelves all day. I don't trust it.

From the article and video, this seems to be one of those times it slightly came off the track. There doesn't seem to have been collision and the train remained upright.

It's a journey through time, when you do it that way.

Sure, there's damage, but the train didn't crash into anything. If I drove into the shoulder of the road and ran over a piece of debris, I could easily damage my car, but I didn't crash the car.

There's not really anything subjective here, the train didn't crash into anything. It derailed and suffered damage.

I call my dog, Mila (pronounced Myla, I just was dumb when I tried to spell it when we adopted her), Mylar Balloon.

In Japan, I have 7 bins plus cardboard. Burnables, nonburnables, plastic, paper, cans, pet bottles, glass bottles.

This account is either a troll or a bot, deliberately spreading misinformation.

I got into ham about a year and a half ago. Super interesting, I just didn't have the time because I was in a pretty intense school. I'd love to tinker with meshtastic, but is that a solution for hiking? Would you need to rely on a node being within range of you in order to convert your message into sms or something?
