I guess I have to buy a Nazi flag and learn how to goose step now.
I keep thinking about something I read on Lemmy not long ago; I know people that I would need to keep Anne Frank secret from.
The other thought is this is a case where they absolutely refuse to see the emperor has no clothes. And only for the simple reason that he gives them someone to hate.
All these people need someone to hate and they don’t dare see that about themselves.
If I was SK, I would be concerned about what Putin gave NK for the troops.
A lot of Republican cans hate Ted Cruz here in Texas. They can’t stand him. They think he’s an ass.
But he’s a Republican and that’s all they fucking see in that booth.
Look at who is in office.
The governor, the Lt. governor, the state AG. They are ALL really terrible people, doing really terrible things. And the Republicans here don’t give a shit.
The problem is getting the left to fucking vote.
And that cunt, Kim Ogg in Houston, endorsed Ted Cruz. (Side note, there’s something rotten in Houston right now though and I have no idea what’s going on. I have NO idea who to trust anymore.)
I’m almost 50, and this hits hard. So many things from my youth have blended together. Almost nothing from before I was 10 now.
That is one thing I do like about the phone in my pocket. I have a constant stream of photos now, of mine and my family’s life. It’s not just a random photo of a birthday here or there that survives, but an almost living journal.
Sorry, don’t mean to be down, but back to the original story…
I actually didn’t remember about the F-14 and the Sparrow missile and thought you were just thinking of the aircraft that ran into its own bullets. I wrote my reply that way and thought, maybe I should actually do some research because maybe I don’t have the best memory, lol.
So you helped me remember too.
I think you might be conflating with this story.
The F-14 was testing the missile launch system, and the engineers failed to consider all the factors of the test missile and the system, causing it to not successfully clear the aircraft on launch, damaging the aircraft. Not really shooting itself down, or a failure of the F-14 design.
But to your real point, yeah, shit happens.
So an airfield is not giving permission to land?
An airfield is not the FAA/FEMA.
Did they file a flight plan. Did this helicopter call Musk while it was to flying around? What, does it have an Elon bat-phone in the cockpit?
How much supplies can a civilian helicopter carry?
Answer not a whole lot and is a terribly inefficient way to transport supplies to an airfield. Helicopters are best for getting into hard to reach locations to pull people out and get them to hospitals.
My guess is some rich friends tried to make an unplanned trip and wanted to land and/or get gas and were told to fuck off. Or something along those lines.
Thank you!
I’m gonna have to go with Bernie’s leadership on this one.
I trust him more than either of negotiating leads.
Your point on the demographics is key though. At some point, something’s got to give. Unions and GoP don’t mix, and for labor to not actively fight Trump is like shooting yourself in the face. It is so fucking short sighted and TERRIBLE leadership. It is leopards ate my face level stupidity.
I appreciate your post but I disagree with your premise on cost. It is not worth it if you are a company looking for a quick turn around, but it is still the cheapest long term. Also waste is not the issue it once was, though it is still an issue.
The biggest issue with nuclear is NIMBYism and stigma. (And going with lowest bidder contractors)
When that major drama unfolded with him getting booted then re-hired. It was super fucking obvious that it was all about the money, the data, and the salesmanship He is nothing but a fucking tech-bro. Part Theranos, part Musk, part SBF, part (whatever that pharma asshat was), and all fucking douchebag.
AI is fucking snake oil and an excuse to scrape every bit of data like it’s collecting every skin cell dropping off of you.
And it’s blocked by a lawsuit in another state.
$1.5 billion won’t actually get you a whole lot.
Better than nothing though. Considering utilities can do this as cap projects, I feel like this money is better spent on bridges/roads.
Who is going to own the infrastructure when it is complete? Outside of like three main utilities, there are no state owned utilities. (Tennessee, Bonneville, and LCRA, I believe).
They could say anything and we would not know what the real truth was, so of course they would say something that would cast a poor light on Israel…
eh, at this point I don’t give a shit. Fuck Bibi in his genocidal ass.
You are not the sharpest knife in the drawer, huh?
I use this neat trick to avoid getting purged. I register Republican.
Then I vote straight Democrat. When I can tell who the Democrat is. It’s not always easy in this dang state and all the stupid positions that are SUPPOSED to be non-partisan.
Fucking whacko fundies ruin everything.
You can train your subconscious! Well, at least influence it’s decisions. Videogames are a great example. Trained reaction/response. Repeated response to similar stimulus can create a trained subconscious response.
However, I have difficulty, especially now that I’m older, where subconscious and conscious will compete and I will lose acuity of what I actually did.
That and my memory is getting worse. :/
Nope. Would 't mind if Khamenei and Netanyahu both took a .50 cal to the forehead though.
But people like you are just like a bunch of people over here. You just want to force everyone into a pigeonhole that makes you feel better about yourself and your ideology.
People are sheep and easily manipulated. That is what Netanyahu is doing, that is what Khamenei is doing, and are you manipulating or one of the manipulated?
A. I was commiserating with you.
B. Not sure where you are coming from with that weird judgment about my shallow reasoning and arrogance, lol.
C. Cheers mate. Maybe you should take a break.
Yeah, man. This crowd doesn’t really care about the point you were trying to make. Lemmy just wants to vote their feelings.
Don’t sweat it.
I hope we get that 6B to him now, and he can turn that into something he can use to produce more of things like this, because I have no hope Trump will support Ukraine.
