NATO is a partnership, no one country gets to unilaterally dictate what NATO does. Start a war that nobody (not even your own citizens) wants and it’s little surprise when everyone tells you it’s your own mess to clean up.

Man, someone called this play on the day they fired Bondi. It will be interesting to see if Congress lets them get away with it or if they charge her with contempt.

No, the rest of the world isn’t just going to instantly nuke the US. If Iran gets nuked it won’t be via an ICBM but more likely a traditional aircraft or possibly ship launched nuke. Until it goes off it won’t look too much different from any of the other weapons being dropped on Iran. What it would do though is instantly turn the US into even more of a pariah than it already is. You’d likely see pretty much instant sanctions across the board which would tank the US economy, and might finally manage to get Trump impeached and convicted. Might even be able to convince the spineless bastards in Washington to hand Trump over to the ICC in exchange for lifting some of the sanctions.

You can pretty much always assume that’s the case with the US legal system. The lawyers always win, sometimes their clients do as well but that’s a lot rarer.

It was good for its time, but we need to be careful not to confuse that as an absolute statement rather than a relative one. By modern standards VHS is garbage with many significant problems, it’s just at its time everything else was worse. There were certainly many aspects of VHS that were good some even revolutionary, but it also had many significant flaws.

The biggest problem with DVD in the early days was just price. Early DVD players were ridiculously expensive compared to VHS, and the DVDs themselves were also significantly more expensive than VHS tapes. That of course changed over time, as DVD adoption drove the unit prices down across the board. By the time Bluray came around and began to drive out DVD the players had gotten so cheap you could sometimes find them for as little as $25, and DVD movies would regularly show up in discount bins for $5 to $10.

Remember the golden rule with Trump and the Republicans, every accusation is an admission. So Trump just admitted he’s weak.

Unfortunately corporations are addicted to the micromanaging control that Active Directory gives to them. They don’t give a single flying fuck about the actual experience of using the OS, that’s a problem for the plebians, they care that AD let’s them do things like lock everyone’s background to a corporate approved image or force everyone to use Edge as their browser while disabling the password saving feature.

Basically the OS is irrelevant, it’s all about Active Directory.

Are you trying to defend DHS? You do realize it was created by Republicans right? George W. Bush created it taking advantage of the panic following 9/11. It’s an entirely redundant organization whose function can be met by the existing institutions that were doing the various jobs prior to it being formed. ALL of the legislation that was passed as a result of 9/11 needs to be repealed, and that includes the creation of the DHS.

Of course, it lies confidently and tells them things they want to hear which are two of the most important things Republicans look for in their leaders.

They should just take the money out of the employee’s paychecks when they finally get around to paying them again. Considering how much backpay they owe them by this point it should easily cover $1000 each. Much as I hate the TSA and think it should be abolished as yet another failed Bush era policy forcing TSA employees to work without pay is horrible, and denying them even this meager amount of charity is even worse.

There’s dozens of us. Works great on mobile with NoScript, although the source code snippets don’t load. Since the article describes what they do anyway it’s still readable without them, and the excellent performance is worth leaving JS blocked.

Interesting. I also had mine come through but it had a different message:

Your Bitwarden Families subscription renews in 15 days. The price is updating to $3.99/month, billed annually.

Questions? Contact support@bitwarden.com

It seems there’s a few variants of the message depending on which product you have and not all of them mention the annual price.

I don’t understand what you’re so upset about here. I’m well aware of what the DHS and TSA are, I’m older than both and remember how flying used to be before the TSA came in and screwed it all up. What makes you think I don’t know what the TSA is?

I’m not quite sure what the attitude is for, I don’t disagree with anything you said. Whether it’s all of DHS or just TSA, either way there’s no point in it existing.

TSA is suffering because of their sister organization ICE. That said, TSA just needs to be abolished, things worked much better before they existed. Let the airports pay for their own x-ray operators and just skip the mandatory groping, metal detectors worked better anyway.

That’s actually what I thought this was about at first which if it had been would be pretty big as I’m not aware of any ion thruster that’s useful for in atmosphere operation. Sadly this is not that.

This is a terrible misleading title. It absolutely has moving parts, it’s just using piezoelectric materials and compliant mechanisms to drive the moving parts rather than the more traditional electromagnets and gears.

Would you look at that, the guy who posts Russian propaganda is posting Russian propaganda again.

Wait, you think there was any thinking involved in getting the US into this mess? Nothing going on in Trump’s head counts as thinking. If he got any dumber he’d qualify as a vegetable.
