Stuff like this happens. They are monitoring it. Actions unbeknownst to us are happening. If we get rid of the FDA and CDC, what do you think replaces it? You trust the Cabinet of Trump-supporting billionaires to "think of the people" when coming up with a replacement?

It's not like Trump would have done anything different than Biden, given Trump's history with COVID-19.

I don't trust Trump or his cronies to do anything that doesn't benefit them and their wallets.

Ah! A thin blue line simp. Bootlickers do be licking boots, I guess.

Fuck yeah they did. This 100% should have been Time Magazine's person of the year. They fucked up.

RFK Jr. is going to be heading the Dept. of Health and Human Services....which establishes national vaccine rollout programs. He's an anti-vaxxer. He will do everything in his power to see that any vaccine programs are extremely difficult to rollout if not impossible to establish. Your best bet will likely be full masks and isolation (i.e. 2020 again).

Well....maybe you should put your cart away lazybones. Then you won't have to worry about the Krampus getting you.

I'm fairly certain it's a meme. Pretty sure I saw this exact thing with a Hawk Tua as the person being quoted.

Edit: A meme on the science meme community? For reals?

Just in time for a Trump Presidency. This is going to go swimmingly. Hold on to your tits folks, shit's about to get real.

Yes, of course we need a yearly reboot of Superman and of course Batman. No. There is no way we're milking this rotting, dead horse for any and all possible cash we can possibly get from it.

Willis will be challenging the ruling. This whole thing is fucking bonkers. The Georgia Court of Appeals wanted this case to end so they didn't anger their Orange King. They overruled a previous ruling stating that there was no conflict of interest just to do this, and it's a fucking embarrassment.

The fact that they even said it was to "restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings" is fucking goofy and they know it. This does nothing but remind the public how much of a fucking sham our just system is.

Party politics over justice. The true Republican way.

I mean, am I misunderstanding the word and misapplying it? Or are all self-proclaimed modern liberals incorrect in thinking they are a liberal? What would be the better terminology? Progressives?

[–] Alteon 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (6 children)

I can't think of a single modern day liberal that would....but alright.

I mean if you went out and interviewed a "liberal" I'd bet money that they would be against the prison Industrial complex and against rampant unregulated capitalism.

Well, if you read the article, she isn't promoting being as natural or neutral. She was hired in as a consultant on de-stigmarizing being fat within society. People should not weight that much, I agree, however they also shouldn't be shamed, ridiculed, or excluded (i.e. stigmatized). They should still be allowed to live without being shamed in the media, the workplace, or in public. If they want to live that way, then that's their prerogative.

 

Wanted to ask about this. I do not work in California, however many of our vendors and customers are seeking to swap to MIL-PRF-8625 Type II, when they historically used Type I.

I'm totally on board with this - anything I can do to push safer, less environmentally destructive processes is a win in my book. But I understand that not all companies are interested in jumping ship so fast.

So I wanted to ask, what's your companies take on it? Did you know about the industry phase out?

The US Space Force is tracking 20 pieces of debris from the Intelsat 33e.

 

I've been dealing with this for months. I've received yet another drawing from a company calling "Diameters on a common axis/center to be 0.XX" TIR U.O.I. "

Total Runout requires a Datum. Your "common axis" is not a datum and can not referenced. It's driving me mad. Like, where did everyone get this notion that it's acceptable? It'd be one thing if it was just one or two drawings, but I'm into the dozens at this point. It's getting to the point that I'm starting to question if I'm either the one in the wrong or everyone has some sort of mass psychosis.

Am I in the wrong here?

 

Scientists and engineers have successfully tested a high-powered laser weapon mounted on a British Army combat vehicle.

According to the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) and the Ministry of Defence (MOD), this trial marks the first instance of such a weapon being fired from a UK land vehicle.
