I don’t get it at all. What does that make me?

Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Plastic surgeon off the hook for alleged COVID fraud, injecting kids with saline26·16 days agoAMA is a toothless mouthpiece for the political side of medicine. And their the wrong side of politics.
Medical licenses are done at the state level by the state medical board. But yes, they should revoke the license.
Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•In a First, America Dropped 30,000-Pound Bunker-Busters—But Iran’s Concrete May Be Unbreakable, Scientists SayEnglish611·1 month agoI can’t speak to that aspect. But I firmly believe that if our military planned and carried out this strike, then we had very good evidence that their bunkers were at a depth these ordinance could reach.
Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•In a First, America Dropped 30,000-Pound Bunker-Busters—But Iran’s Concrete May Be Unbreakable, Scientists SayEnglish8·1 month agoI was suspicious of that as well, but I’m not knowledgeable enough on that subject to speak on it, so didn’t include it. But I doubt any country can build that extensive of a nuclear factory in so few years.
Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•In a First, America Dropped 30,000-Pound Bunker-Busters—But Iran’s Concrete May Be Unbreakable, Scientists SayEnglish4·1 month agoThat’s what they want you to think, but we have no evidence to either direction. And I doubt we will ever have a definitive answer.
Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•In a First, America Dropped 30,000-Pound Bunker-Busters—But Iran’s Concrete May Be Unbreakable, Scientists SayEnglish2234·1 month agoHoly nothing burger, Batman!
First off, this article is from 2022, re-released to farm clicks from the current hype cycle.
Secondly, this is conjecture on top of conjecture. They discuss that we can’t know the current damage from satellite, and Iran down plays the damage. Then they go on to say “concrete is strong and can be stronger”.
Articles like this annoy me. It’s all based on lots of unsubstantiated claims, and then one guy’s theoretical research. We don’t know the strength of the bombs. We don’t know the strength of Iran’s bunkers. We don’t know how much damage was done. None of this has changed. I doubt we’ll ever really know. But throw whatever political spin on it you want, and now you’ve got a click worthy news article.
Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Iranian regime muzzles media with grim death penalty warningEnglish16·2 months agoI recall seeing a lot of posts on here praising the leadership whenever they said anything negative about Trump
But that’s about the only stuff positive about Iran I’ve seen on here.
Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house"English372·2 months agoThat’s kinda what I’m getting at. This isn’t R vs D, and further perpetuating that is lending into the division of the country that the powers that be want.
This is class war, always has been. Police are the arm wielding power of the rich, used to push down the working class.
Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house"English176·2 months agoWould be much appreciated if you could have a word with your people about this.
I’m an American, but my only experience with LA was traveling through for 2 days about 10 years ago. AKA no experience with LA.
This action appears to be originated from LAPD and therefore the local LA government. I have always considered LA to be deeply blue, and would therefore think that their local LA government would be Democrat, not Republican.
So should this not be the local blue voting populace having a word with their blue elected politicians?
Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•‘My Property Tax Went From $15K to a Life-Altering $91K a Year’27·3 months agoI was going to ask why they didn’t consult a real estate attorney. Apparently they didn’t have a good one…
Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Senate Dems warn of precedent set by Trump ‘power grab’435·5 months agoCongress says
Congress is concerned
Congress warns
It is literally your job to prevent these concerns. Stop talking and do something. The old fucks who refuse to leave office have been collecting paychecks while sitting back and doing nothing, progressively giving away their power to the executive branch for the past ~20 years. Now they’re concerned? Too little, too late. Either step up (but watch out for broken hips) or get out of the way.
Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Arizona plane crash kills at least 2 people after midair collision69·5 months agoDid any of you read the article, or did you just read the headline and jump to push anti-trump propaganda?
I dislike stripping down ATCs, who are already overworked. But this ain’t related to that. This was a PPL crash on an uncontrolled airstrip. I struggle to imagine how this is Trump’s fault.
Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Missouri proposes registry for pregnant mothers33·5 months agoNext House Hearing: Hearing not scheduled Calendar: Bill currently not on a House calendar
But it hasn’t even hit the house. This is the American legislative process. Any bill can be introduced and read. It takes a lot to be placed on the calendar, but even then doesn’t guarantee any chance at passing. So no, this is literally no further than “the musings of a Canadian backbencher who spouts his stupid opinions”.
Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Air Force Has Troops Remove Names, Unit Patches from Uniforms During Deportation Flights3·6 months agoYeah, I was trying to find something like that to back up my point. Article, AFI, SecDec report, Pentagon statement, etc, but couldn’t find anything. There’s someone else in the thread who posted some pictures of these teams without nametapes, but that’s not much stronger evidence than my word.
Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Air Force Has Troops Remove Names, Unit Patches from Uniforms During Deportation Flights34·6 months agoHell or High Water. Fantastic utilization of visuals combined with smooth and enjoyable music. Love the whole trilogy, but this is my favorite of them.
Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Air Force Has Troops Remove Names, Unit Patches from Uniforms During Deportation Flights44·6 months agoThe practice originates from prisoner movement during our global war on terror. It was due to concern over domestic operatives targeting armed forces members, which is not new. The linked story is an example of this being used to instill fear.
While I don’t think this equates at all for simple deportation flights, this seems to be the underlying justification for the above tactic, be it to prevent retaliation or “making an example” to scare away further attempts at deportation.
Again, I didn’t think this concern is nearly as founded as it was during global war on terrorism, but this is what I think is the justification.
Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Air Force Has Troops Remove Names, Unit Patches from Uniforms During Deportation Flights65·6 months agoThat’s the general idea, yes.
Darrell_Winfield@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Air Force Has Troops Remove Names, Unit Patches from Uniforms During Deportation Flights513·6 months agoThat explains it, thank you!
Wouldn’t it not be so different, since I’m not part of the official organization? Just tangential?
This is ALSO why no service should ever require or get my driver’s license information. Fuck that. Also, yet another Constance to those who can’t afford a car or want to improve the environment by living car free.
