That's fucked. That whole thing is fucked. Tennessee should be on fire over this shit.

I too like burying my head in the sand in an effort to maximize profits. Money money money.

[–] Alteon 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly? Probably not.

Will it suck? Absolutely, but me and my wife make great money and just consolidated a bunch of our stuff to buy our forever home. We're liquid probably $100k, and that's not even touching retirement finances or other investments. I 100% want to help where I can with protesting and organizing stuff, but I won't be in a state where I'm willing to be Luigi 2.0 anytime soon. Like. Even if we were to both lose our jobs, we're comfortable for at least 2-3 years before we have to start worrying.

The people in power that are supposed to stop this aren't. AOC is trying to rally people, but not sure how effective it's going to be yet.

Anything you do as an individual is likely to fail and only make things way, way worse. So you tell me man....what should I do that I'm not already doing?

Is DEI or Obama in the room with us right now, Mr. Trump?

All jokes aside. This man is a fucking joke. No accountability, no apologies, no assurances....just fucking shifts the blame.

What an absolute sleezebag.

I dunno man....are you? I can't afford to go to prison. I have three kids that rely on me for sustenance and a house. Nothing that Trump administration does is going to make life more difficult for me currently. I'm emailing politicians, trying to make good points online, and protest. I think that's all I can do right now. Now, if my family is threatened, or I can no longer provide for my family, then we'll talk again.

this has nothing to do with any maga anti-vaccine laws. Although this outbreak is in Kansas, the TB vaccine is not used in the US, not even in blue states, except in rare special cases.

Mate. It literally explains in the article that:

  • Tuberculosis vaccine is not mandatory and hasn't been required for almost 20 years.
  • That the controversy around COVID vaccination and the laws they pushed validating those imaginary fears made people fearful of vaccines, and by proxy, basic preventative healthcare.

The whole point of the article was to point out that the unintended consequences of pushing laws and regulations built on fear have harmful repercussions - i.e. you now have a population that thinks COVID isn't that bad, that won't wear masks, isolate, or go to the doctors.....in the middle of an outbreak that is extremely similar to COVID.

Oh, the irony....you've managed to out yourself as not even having read the article. But go you for managing to try and shit on the subject.

MMW: He's going to get shoehorned in regardless. These hearings are nothing but a circus show.

It's all fun and memes...until some highly regarded individual actually starts believing this crock.

How much tax revenue would we gain if we reinstated the corporate tax to the levels it used to be in the 40's and 50's? You know, when America was great? That tax rate was 52%>. Care to take a gander at what today's rate is?

That would be better referenced as a vibrational dampening plushie.

 

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.
