The fact you’re getting dunked on for this comment shows how delusional people are.

Lol

Your reading comprehension is so, so bad

The study you link has literally nothing to do with your claim.

Do you find it weird that people die in ERs sometimes, and it happens more often in overcrowded ERs, as the study you link suggests? Because that’s what it’s saying. That long triage times and short staffing leads to worse patient outcomes… And surprise, this study was in 2021, still peak COVID year.

Tell me you don’t understand how electrical transformers work without telling me you don’t know understand electrical transformers work.

For the 40mm impact munitions in the list. Riot control gear.

“Grenade launcher” here isn’t very specific. Could be like an M203 or something, which is a tube launcher that lobs 40mm rounds up to about 100m. You can absolutely get 40mm frag grenades and blow shit up, that’s what most people think of when they think of a “grenade launcher,” but that’s not what it’s on the list here. You can lob gas canisters, smoke, illumination flares, etc etc etc, just depends on what you’re trying to do.

What is the personality of the toaster?

One looks like your friend’s dad when he comes home and finds everyone has not only left on all the lights in the house but have also left the fridge open

Other one looks like a guy in early 20s that is on a bus and some fucker is doom scrolling tiktok loud without headphones

I’d say they’re both great but you gotta decide what kind of cranky toaster you’re going with

I’m sure this guy’s dad that needs help installing Linux will appreciate the clarification, good thing you’re here to point that out

Not to be that person,

Proceeds to be that person

Yeah but they’re not on the plane. They’re at the airport, the plane is grounded, and they’re waiting for authorization to get on the plane from the FAA after it’s cleared to fly.

Your whole analogy is flawed because they’re not in flight.

This was my thought exactly. Pigments in paints fade with time, many older artworks’ paints were more unstable than today’s compounds, with many artists actually making their own paints back in the day.

We’ll never know but I’d certain that the original colors were more vibrant.

Still, this is really freaking cool.

Louis explains in several videos on his channel.

They’re experimenting with a business model where they ask users to pay for the product if you get value from it. Development isn’t free, their time is valuable. In return they’ll never harvest and sell your data.

If this experiment is a success it can demonstrate that it’s a viable business strategy to not harvest data, which is good for everyone.

Personally, at this point I’m trying out the FUTO keyboard but it’s too janky for me to pay for it. Lots of bugs and swipe is not good. I hope it gets better and I’m trying to help the project by submitting bug reports.

Grayjay I’ve barely used but I see the potential, and if it gets good I’ll pay for it. I paid for Signal messenger because it’s the same kind of thing.

It’s up to you. They’re telling you what the price is, it’s the honor system if you use it and get value from it.

back to your self-hosted services that surely aren’t just a stack of constantly broken docker containers running on an old Dell in your closet

I feel personally attacked

You’re mixing some things up. Yes, some agencies will have some POLICIES about not wanting to hire personnel with a history of drug abuse/use, but that is separate from the clearance adjudication process.

A secret clearance is a secret clearance, and you’re correct that it’s much simpler to get a basic secret than it is a TS-SCI or to be read into certain programs. But there isn’t a “FBI” secret and an “Army” secret.

There’s no timeline for how long it’s been since you’ve smoked pot, or number of times, or anything. I think a poster said that it’s about whether the investigation finds you trustworthy enough for the level of eligibility they’re investigating you for, and that is correct - and there isn’t a hard and fast rule necessarily.

If you do an investigation and are asked if you’ve ever used any illegal drugs and you say no, but in your criminal record you have a possession charge, that’s bad. You’re obviously lying, and not even being smart about it. If you say you used to smoke trees every day and are blazed right now, that’s bad because you obviously don’t give af about laws and stuff (not my opinion, this is the opinion of the Fed that still thinks it’s illegal). If you say you used to smoke with your friend for a couple months in college a year ago but stopped and think that was probably a dumb decision, that’s not necessarily bad, it all depends on how the interview goes. They’ll ask for the names of who you smoked with and how you got the weed - so they can check if you were hanging out with known cartel members or just some other joe schmoe at UCWhatevs.

At the end of the day it’s all based on context and a ton of factors. They dig a lot deeper and have a much higher standard for more selective clearances or programs, which shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone? But it’s all about whether you’re trustworthy to keep certain sensitive information from unauthorized people.

Good thing there’s no silicone in my dick

Why would you change travel plans based off of a single article? Go visit Japan

Phone number 2FA isn’t useless, insomuch as it’s better than no 2FA at all, but it is easily the worst form of 2FA because SIM jacking (usually involves a scammer tricking a customer service agent into migrating your phone number to their device instead of yours in order to intercept the 2FA messages) is laughably simple using easily acquired info such as your DOB, address, and last 4 of your SSN.

If phone 2FA is the only option, use it. But don’t use it if you have any other option.

YEAH LICK MY ASS BITCH

Concrete is gravel, sand, cement, lyme, and water, mixed in various ratios.

There’s a lot of variations and additives that can change how quickly it cures, often to speed it up or slow it down to account for weather (temperature and humidity play a huge part in how it cures), or to modify the pace of how it cures so you can keep building on it if you’re building vertically.

It’s a simple concept that gets incredibly complicated very quickly.

Big rocks, little rocks, cement, water.

Even if I replace the speaker from a telephone, and the keypad stops working a month later, I have voided the warranty already by doing the speaker change as they can’t know if the now not working keypad was done because of you or a failing unit.

This is false. They have to PROVE that the repair that you made caused the keypad to fail in other to void your warranty, at least in the USA. Most people are misinformed as you are however, and they’ll TELL you that’s the case to make you go away, despite it being illegal.
