In a similar spirit don't look up That's a Nice Grill by TheMinuteHour

Email spam is already bad enough I don't need that shit built in

Haven't we learned to not mention the shooter's name in media? Don't give them any fame or infamy for anyone to aspire to.

The houthis were launching missiles and drones at civilian ships in the red sea for weeks before these strikes took place.

If the us/eu goal is to protect said traffic you can't expect them to do nothing.

That whole situation was just....sad.

UXOs are no joke. Imagine how long that was just sitting there before it was discovered!

Scenario based creative problem solving involving abstract ideas and imaginative visualization?

I know Houthis have their motivations and shit is complicated but when you mess with civilian ships you mess with the economy. The US doesn't like that. When you mess with US civilian ships they really don't like that. About the only thing worse is attacking the US Navy directly.

I guess my point is firing at US related anything in a shipping lane has got to be one the fastest ways to get explosives delivered to your location.

A guarantee of deploying to europe would be great for military retention! Everyone is tired of fighting forever wars in the desert

I think that improving your resilience as an individual citizen is important. I'm not saying the zombie robots are coming, but that if the climate is getting worse (it is) and local weather also gets worse (it will, just a matter of how much) you can't count on food, water, power etc to be on hand 100% of the time.

It's amazing how many people act like having a small garden, a solar panel to charge devices and some jugs of water just in case is some unspeakable crazy talk

Your ability to focus on one thing voluntarily

"Leadership is simple. Take care of your people and make a decision."

This is from a USAF Major who was once one of the first dudes in Afghanistan after 9/11, working with green berets when he was enlisted. He said that it's amazing how easy it can be to lose sight of those two basic things.

It's kind of important. Boss says "every 10 minutes you need to flip this switch the opposite direction". It's just a switch on a wall. Sure you can just do it blindly and never know why, you're still getting paid after all. Or you can ask. Maybe it changes a signal to prevent collisions between trains. Maybe it tells all the sliding doors to open at a shopping mall in New Jersey. Maybe it drops treats into a pet enclosure. Or maybe it is really truly wasting your time.

If you can't directly see the results from doing/avoiding a thing, having the purpose explained helps.

This community is called YouShouldKnow not YouShouldDoSomethingAboutThis

You have the info and you can care as much or as little as you like

I want this for android phones and chrome, gmail etc without jumping through hoops

No need if we donate a little now and then, like wikipedia

Target id is very important. Weapon lights are important. This shit will haunt him for the rest of his life.

I can't say I miss incandescent bulbs, but holy fuck I miss the warm lighting they provided. Why does everything have to be so damn blue?

As a wise friend once said about home repairs "It's easier to keep up than to catch up"

You can do a lot at once, you can do a little all the time but either way you have to clean regularly to stay on top of it.

And the ability to turn off scores entirely! I run it that way most of the time. A post can have thousands of up/down votes but I can't tell and it keeps it from infuencing how I'll vote.

It was a feature I wanted to experiment with on reddit but couldn't

Training crashes are some of the most tragic accidents imo. I hope they find and correct whatever happened to them

There it is, the occam's razor explanation.

Not everything is political guys. Shitting on confederate battle flags, nazi flags etc? No problem fuck those guys. Flying thin line flags? Cringe, and objections are understandable.

But just an ordinary flag of the country they live in with no crazy message or change other than a neutral color scheme to keep some aesthetics? Leave em be.

From my understanding it's easier to use brown as a base color and add natural foliage to green it up than it is to have a green base color and add dirt to tan it up.

Brown is a lot more common close to the ground than you might think even in summer but it's especially useful when you consider using the suit in fall and early spring.

Ghillie suits are meant to make you vaguely look like a grassy blob. Humans are really good at picking out the shape of a human head/shoulder area so the suit makes that disappear.

That's a really good analogy and I had no idea cargo cults were a thing but it makes sense in a way

Not pre 2010 but Shadows of Doubt is worth a mention. You are a former cop turned private eye, solving crimes in a procedually generated city trying to make ends meet. You pick locks, hack emails, use air vents and "Jensen your way in" to chase leads, collect evidence and bring justice that the megacorporation government won't.

It's far from perfect but is the best "Deus Ex 1 we have at home" I've seen.

I was in the middle of watching Avatar The Last Airbender series for the first time (I somehow missed it all this time, crazy right?) on a Netflix shared accout when they did their dumb lockout.

So I went to The Exchange (gamestop but better) and got that and Legend of Korra on DVD. The special features and commentary are there too, which Netflix doesn't give you at all.

Also I don't know who needs to hear this but libraries have all kinds of movies and shows on Blu Ray and DVD that you can take home! It's one of my favourite things to check out there

There are some data recording systems on planes designed in the 90s that still use the original designs. Memory cards that are as big as your hand and only hold megabytes worth of data.

Upgrading would be fairly simple in theory, but getting anything approved to be used on an aircraft is an expensive pain in the ass so they don't want to go through that. They don't need any more storage capacity either.

So somewhere out there some companies are making these now ancient parts for now ancient systems, and probably making a killing because nobody else makes them.

Since RIF went down I've read a lot more. Some dry history stuff, a few thrillers, a re-read of a book I initially read in High School and now The Hobbit for the first time.

If anyone here doesn't know your local library probably has access to different ebook apps. Mine mainly does libby and a few others too. Anyway it helps your library, and you get to read all kinds of stuff for free.

It's like those games that make you make super important, irreversible decisions on role/skills etc before you even play haha

Stardew Valley and Kingdom Come Deliverance are the two big ones at the moment. I've played both a bit at a time for a while now.

Stardew Valley needs little introduction. It's a beautiful gem of an indie game. I'm in fall of year two and just getting used to married life and making that sweet sweet gold making wine and jelly.

Kingdom Come Deliverance is an awesome RPG in a non-fantasy medieval setting. You're the son of a blacksmith and your town is burned by a massive army leaving you a refugee seeking to avenge your parents. You're no war hero or chosen one, just a man trying to find his place in the beautiful but uncertain world...and maybe learn to read while he's at it

I'm a Sh.it head and I'm not having any issues at the moment

It takes time, effort and people to build cool spaces, and those spawn additional spaces for more obscure stuff. Lemmy is just new and hopefully it will grow with time but it's up to us to help how we can.

Books are important and very useful. But I don't carry them all with me like I do with a phone.

Anything a government (or company) puts out can be seen as propaganda. Nobody is going to talk shit on themselves if they can avoid it.

And yes govt tech usually has a military origin and is part of a race against other militaries. Rocket motors, missile guidance systems, satellite imagery, gps, computers, encryption, the internet. It's already well underway for AI. Just because they have their start in military application or global competition doesn't mean they aren't rad as hell or not worth learning about.

If you don't want to watch it, nobody is forcing you to.

Conservatives are mostly christian, but if they aren't catholic the pope has little sway over what they do. And they love dissing catholics so yes they will more than they have been already.

Hello ...it is AnswerGPT answering on our behalf.

It's just saying "murica" without messing with the aesthetics of the car.

You could go full color if the vehicle had red or blue paint but if I'm rocking a bright yellow or something it wouldn't go well. There's only so much you can do with a window and you don't have to worry about colors fading over time.
