That’s the thing, we aren’t really even sending money to other countries. We send the stuff like old tanks and aircraft that were going to be retired anyway. Then we spend the money to replace them here in the US. If we give them $200m worth of stuff, that $200m is spent here in the US buying that stuff from US labor and companies because military stuff is about the only things we make anymore.

Correct. That’s why I haven’t spoken to her in over a year.

A lot of them are proud of this. Many R voters were complaining about aid being sent to Ukraine. I know my mom was.

I had a Surface Pro 4 when I went to university. I always said if it wasn’t for the note taking there was no way I would recommend it. It had all kinds of software issues and eventually it just straight died while I was studying one day. I don’t think I’ve ever had a computer die like that, eventually they just get replaced by being obsolete.

A lot of them aren’t. They’re just decorative, they don’t need to be shaped like an actual coin.

A lot of us are hoping so.

And the fact that it’s a mesh so theoretically it should be easy to avoid a single point of failure. If one person with one gets arrested or otherwise silenced, the network stays up. Probably need a way to rotate keys though.

For future reference, any time you want to coordinate some sort of resistance or even protest, the leadership should get on Meshtastic, MeshCore, or some other equivalent. Encrypted mesh communication over radios. The radios are fairly inexpensive starting at around $40.

The same portion that doesn’t want an EV at all.

Yes it is. No charisma JD can’t do the same shit Trump does.

It would be the most popular thing he ever did.

Bottles has made wine a lot better. Also, I keep a Windows in a VM, isolated where it belongs.

There was a boycott is over moment? Isn’t reddit still blocking third party apps?

It’s amazing to me that the Republicans haven’t messaged this as a win. They could easily say they out played the Democrats getting them to agree to fund DHS except the part that is already funded. I do think it’s going to be harder for the Republicans to pull these shenanigans after the mid terms.

It was a way of caving and not looking like they are caving. It’s honestly a win in the eyes of a majority of people that only half pay attention.

Yes it does because parts of LEO have such low air resistance that the junk will stay up there for a very long time. However, I think part of how the Starlink satellites work is being so low that they do deorbit pretty quickly.

He was still the better choice then. Oz definitely wouldn’t be better.

People don’t understand how the military is the best social ladder in America and how desperate people are to climb it. I worked at Walmart before the military. After the military my first job was making 6 figures. I went from just over poverty, to in something like the top ~15% of earners.

It’s the gross incompetence that also makes him more susceptible to corruption.

What a great leader. We all know the best leaders aren’t able to commit to things.
