Potentially. Puerto Rico is also a religious state.

My favorite is how they claim that PRC doesn’t invade anyone, ignorant of their attempts in Korea (Korean War) and Vietnam (after the Americans left).

I need this poster or canvas printed so I can hang it on my office wall…

Stupid and unlikely thought I had: The West don’t want Russia to know just how weak it really is against the West so that Russia doesn’t kick itself into high gear trying to truly modernize its forces by eliminating the grift and corruption that plagues its MIC. A Russia plagued by a corrupt military is a Russia that is essentially toothless in an armed conflict.

Of course, this doesn’t excuse not allowing deep Russian strikes with already provided equipment.

Would a home count as unrealized gains? Because I’d be fucked if I got taxed on it more than I already do.

It feels like whoever made this only sees those large suburban sprawls in the South West of the US where it’s all flat desert. Or the suburbs built on large tracts of farmland that had trees taken down many years before for crops.

Housing development is expensive when you have to cut down and uproot large tracts of forest. They’re not willing to do that unless there is a high rate of return… Such as an apartment building with a hundred tenants.

I’ll admit I don’t know how Lemmy works in communicating to each other. However, Internet traffic is labeled in some manner. It has to be to ensure data traverses the web of routers we call the Internet. Lemmy instances have to identify each other to share their information to each other.

Just ban whatever traffic Lemmy instances are looking for.

I just want another Aliens vs Predator video game. Those 3-way multiplayer matches were so fun.

When applying to a US government position with a certain security clearance, they will do background checks of you, your family and extended family, if need be.

And I’m sure that can be the case for any employer who needs background checks. That being said, I also suspect some of these people in the database are dead.

Did you read the article? They only said that the process to vote went smoothly, despite all the stations having only one machine for 800 voters, causing long wait times and delays. They don’t mention anything about third party confirmation of the vote tallies, no references to exit polls, and a huge section dedicated to US interference.

Might as well say “Far left organization supports supposedly far left authoritarian governments word without verification.”

Considering I stressed about Trump every day when he was President, stressing about an Election every couple of years for a few months is much preferred.

I generally try to find things that make me laugh if I get to this point. I look up old Whose Line episodes or moments, Improv-a-ganza, and recently Dropout shows like Game Changer and Dirty Laundry.

Pretty sure we knew this was coming. Bunch of articles last year or the year before that stating that SSD prices were going to climb if not skyrocket.

Looks like it’s this bot: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/07/this-lidar-equipped-30-pound-robot-dog-can-be-yours-for-1600/

Pretty cheap, all things considered.

Do you all not have self control and know the concept of leftovers?

Considering that all of the platforms have the “non-transferable” clause in their EULAs… It seems to be an industry issue, not a Steam one.

Wasn’t there an article last year that said that Chinese EVs have sent so many vehicles to Europe, they couldn’t get them out of the shipyards? Did that get resolved?

For almost 20 years, Google’s phones have been pretty friendly to ROM flashing. I suspect that so long as Apple and Samsung have such a large market share, that will continue.

EDIT: 15, not 20

Paradox has recently gotten hammered on their recent releases, both Golden and Early Access. I wonder if that was part of the reason.

Second grade teacher has the cursive where every letter is a variation of the letter O.
