Why are we linking to a Republican rag to report on Democratic “policy”?

Should donate a bunch of ipod touches. These magnificent video editors could create a composition of “final resort” moments, overlay text that says, “Just do it now and save yourself the misery,” then drop them off around Russia.

Write in pencil.

Hmm. This sounds like a pretense for something bigger. I hope I’m wrong.

They exist. My entire house is 3000K.

You can buy whatever Chinese brand is on Amazon this year (in my experience they change brands about the same time the bulbs start burning out), or try your local big box stores. I do believe Philips has some though, and they’ll last longer.

Edit: Just Google it.

This 4-pack actually has multiple white options in each bulb, including your desired 3500K: https://www.amazon.com/Philips-LED-Flicker-Free-2700-5000K-576314/dp/B0B8TNK47C

That’s a terrible tldr, with no actual content. Its more of an intro..

Here is a better one (IMO):

Williams became a state-level leader in one militia and gained direct access to prominent national figures. However, his actions - such as warning journalists about threats and trying to derail militia activities - put him in danger of being exposed. When his warnings were publicized, he fled, fearing for his safety.

Now living in hiding, Williams is determined to continue his fight against militias. He plans to release his findings publicly, aiming to sow paranoia within these groups and expose their ties to law enforcement.

Here are some of John Williams’ most concerning findings from his infiltration of militias:

• Williams uncovered extensive ties between militia groups and law enforcement, including direct relationships with sheriffs and police officers who shared the militias’ ideologies. For example, a Utah sheriff was reportedly close with Oath Keepers and facilitated introductions to state officials.

• Some militia members held significant positions of authority, including a city prosecutor, an Air Force reserve master sergeant, and a doctor affiliated with a major healthcare provider. These members leveraged their professional roles to advance the militia’s agenda.

• Militias conducted targeted surveillance on journalists, student reporters, and political activists, going as far as staking out homes and compiling detailed “doxing” files with personal information, including addresses and family details.

• Members of these groups frequently entertained discussions about violent action, including assassinating politicians and attacking perceived enemies. Although some of these discussions were logistical debates, they underscored a willingness to act violently if conditions aligned.

• Despite the fallout from the Capitol riot, Williams observed the resurgence of militias like the Oath Keepers and AP3. Recruitment was increasing, and the groups were consolidating resources, retraining, and preparing for future operations ahead of the 2024 election.

• Groups were not acting in isolation. Williams facilitated and documented collaborations between AP3, the Oath Keepers, and other extremist factions, including joint training exercises and intelligence-sharing.

• Williams manipulated a young militia recruit, who later revealed having compiled doxing files and participated in intimidating surveillance activities. This demonstrated the militias’ appeal to and radicalization of younger, vulnerable individuals.

• Militias engaged in extensive paramilitary training, including the use of improvised explosives, ambush tactics, and firearms. Leaders emphasized preparing for a potential collapse of democratic systems or violent conflict.

Yes. You are pointing out an issue of perspective, which is likely more pronounced due to the use of a wider angle lens for this shot. You cannot use the background for size judgments, just like you cannot hold your thumb up to a distant mountain and judge them to be the same size.

For a size estimation you need something that’s on the same plane, parallel to the lens, within the photo, such as the prop over the left fins on the side. One blade of that prop is roughly a forearm’s length, for reference.

Another look. These appear to be 3D printed. Lol, send more filament.

Why the hell would you wait to find out? That’s date #1 material right there.

For us busy folks, the summary is right up front:

The fleeting cosmic firework likely emerged from the turbulent magnetosphere around a far-off neutron star.

Tldr; Astronomers have been debating whether FRBs come from the magnetosphere (a neutron star’s immediate, highly magnetic environment) or from shockwaves farther out. Using scintillation (similar to how stars twinkle), MIT researchers pinpointed FRB 20221022A’s origin to within 10,000 kilometers of a neutron star, proving it came from its magnetosphere.

Which is dumb because they are killing my hope it was aliens.

Not merry about cherries.

Wary of the cherry.

Requested berry, not cherry.

Cherry makes me glary.

Contrary to the cherry.

Unnecessary cherry is not legendary.

Latest from FBI just now: The suspect was a US citizen from Texas, in a rented truck, with an ISIS flag in the vehicle.
