In their defense, the doors of the contract opened up, not out, like on poor people’s cars.

I love to turn on the 24-hr adult swim of venture bros and just drop into an episode.

Well stop spec’ing $30k lights when it come from the same factory as the $500 light. 🙂

Electrical contractor, I’m actually posting from an attic right now. If you’re in a blue state and young, I strongly recommend you look into the field.

I did not come here to make this comment, but I upvoted it for its sentiment.

Does your school allow cat-calling in the halls?

Are any keys sticking on your keyboard?

All I see is ******* when you type it.

There are actually limits to what you can bring into/out of a country.

Maybe a cello if it was human grade. But that’s tardigrade.

Don’t worry, we can always collaborate with Chinese agencies as they take the lead in world organization.

We had a good run.

I remember learning a bladder begins to spasm at 600mL, so we could actually use this spastic pressure to help us levitate. In this paper, I propose…

Will the density of my pee affect this?

When I was a kid we won second in a general mills national contest for “a treasure chest of games.” They sent us a cardboard board with plastic pieces and like 4 games on it. Someone sued based on the commercial, and we got some cereal coupons.

Many years later, I won like 3rd in a Mountain Dew cap contest. They actually sent me the snow board - no binding or anything, but Mountain Dew has integrity.

The intermediate step is a human stealth aircraft commanding multiple drone weapons platforms.

I have a couple good rules of thumb.

What are the experts saying? Not the loud people, the experts. Incredible news would have them talking.

Would the reverse of an idea also be true? If the president is responsible for high gas prices, do people agree he’d be responsible for low ones?

Does the idea try to make me feel? If there’s clear emotional intent in a story, the facts are probably being shaped to fit the narrative.

Do I see evidence of the widespread problem here? Should I? I remember an article about a couple who flew short hops across the US, and they said at every stop the story was “things are horrible everywhere, we’re just lucky they’re good here.”

Do I hear people using the same talking points, but they get confused when you ask for details? Often this is a story made to make you feel, not think.

They’re a lot like american seperatists, but with a large bank roller behind them (russia).

I agree with both of you in principle, but who really had N Korea troops in meat wave assaults on their 2024 bingo cards?

I am personally looking for a few things that will concern me about escalation:

• Japan and Finland making active land claims to Russia (actively reoccupying disputed land with troops)

• Europe putting peace keepers in Western Ukraine (which will create a casus belli for war with Russia), specifically France and the UK. I mean, Poland as well, but if Poland says they are putting peacekeeping troops in Ukraine, Russia should either back off or assume war.

• South Korean troops in Ukraine. (Ridiculous given their current chaos, but stranger things have happened in the last year).

Other than that, the russian frog has been very well boiled for 3 years. Even China has probably gone back to the drawing board on a taiwan invasion, and added a delay until 10 millions drones are available.

I do have concerns trump will pull the us back in europe, making the second item above possible if not likely. The first trump presidency shook us primacy in europe, and the second may see it start to unravel. If europe has to take russia alone, the us should consider china a personal problem from now on (as well as any other concerns not near europe), as no one will see value in going to war with a fair-weather ally.

Lemmy is slowly accumulating mass - I’d really love it if we gained a number of strong niche communities, but didn’t turn into a reddit due to mass influx.
