There is nothing odd about government employees looking at government databases. These sorts of audits should be routine.

It absolutely offers something in return. It gives the US interests in Ukraine and in maintaining the status quo so we can access those minerals. Putin wants them for himself. This is a clever way to push back at Putin while also compromising on having NATO at Russia's doorstep. It also compensates the US for its generous spending on Ukraine's plight. NATO is over anyway because European countries cannot or will not contribute their share and frankly the US isn't threatened by Russia in the same way it was during the Cold War. I much prefer a bi or tri polar world to the Cold War.

I certainly wouldn't expect another random country halfway around the world to foot the bill for my country.

Or about the USS Liberty. A US navy ship that was destroyed by the Israelis. Israel said it was a case of mistaken identity and President Johnson accepted that explanation. Admiral Moorer, the 7th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, accused President Lyndon B. Johnson of having covered up that the attack was a deliberate act.

How does footing the bill for a futile war in a country that the US has nothing to do with meet the needs of Americans?

This concept is so disingenuous. The earth is is big enough for Russian, China, and the US to coexist in peace. My country's spending should be spent in my country. Not liberating a land that has nothing to do with us.

Elections have consequences. The Democrats should have listened to what the people wanted instead of just being anti Trump.

Biden refused to enforce the law as well.

Edit: you all are out here downvoting provable facts.

That line stopped working after they lied us into the Iraq war.

Google selective enforcement. Happens every day.

Obama, Trump and Biden have ignored federal cannabis laws for years. Laws and even the Constitution are ignored routinely Snowden showed us that.

I wonder why their language is dying. /s

After writing code for 20+ years these sorts of concerns are just tiresome. The effort expended debating and enforcing optimizations like this completely wipes out any and all benefits they bring, which is incredibly minimal to begin with.

Just read the code, write your change, move on. If you find yourself missing small details like this you need to just slow down a tiny bit. Its not hard. By all means format your code cleanly, just don't spend cycles writing blog posts about it.

The only elected members of the executive branch are the President and VP. The president is employing Musk. Your claims of him being unelected is irrelevant.

Valerie Jarret was UNELECTED. OMG OMG /s

See how dumb it sounds?

Congress mandates that weed is illegal, funds the DEA to go after it, yet no one complains when Obama, Trump, and Biden decided not to enforce that law. Executives clearly have discretion.

No, we the people voted for this. This is what democracy looks like.

Yep. That person is Ruth Paine

In the Q&A at the end of the video the CEO said:

- Symphony engine being produced by EOY '25

- 3 years to have first full size Overture roll off the line

- About 4 years to have it in the air for first time.

Reminded me of a goose landing on a lake.

If you are on a budget maybe check out Creality's new offerings in this area.

For ~$1500 you can have a handheld 3d scanner. Their marketing materials show a scanned Hummer hood and a car door. I have never used it though so I am not endorsing it.

The freeze will be lifted once RFK Jr. is approved by the Senate. The purpose is to stop progressive ideologues in the agencies from doing things in protest of their new boss.

So hyperinflation only happens when the tax base disappears? Perception and influence is clearly part of the picture.

Not in this case and this is the only one I care about. So pound sand?

LOL!

You don’t know me. Seems you are pretty bigoted towards people not like you. How not progressive of you.

You are 100% right. Not sure why you are being downvoted.

All of the evidence people argue over can fit together.

Original virus was brought from the south of china, was studied in the lab. Unclear if it was engineered. Somehow in the lab an animal was exposed. Either purposefully for study or accidentally. Animal dies or will die soon so a rouge employee takes it to the market to sell the meat for some pocket money. First cases show up in lab employees they are smart enough to quarantine. Full outbreak starts at market from animal source.

I don’t know why it isn’t obvious to everyone how this happened. The lab leak theory is true the outbreak started in force in the market where lab employees sold animals used for testing. They probably didn’t know the animals were infected. Earliest cases were among lab employees. Likely the ones who handled and sold these animals.

Because they didn’t get the answer they wanted. lol.

I'd rather we use mined hydrogen than continue to destroy precious water molecules to get it. Water is an important resource and once split the water is gone forever.

Touch grass. The US is a big place and is nothing like you seem to think it is.

Europe on the other hand can't even manage to defend itself and relies on the US for their sheer existence.

Immensely more important than an ineffective agreement on an overblown problem.
