I can say that while I near exclusively use the subscriptions feed to start browsing, and will add interesting videos from it to the watch later list, once i’m nearing the end of a video I’ll often choose from the recommended videos on that video rather than going back to the subscriptions page.

A lot of game publishers have micro transaction gambling, most don’t have a mult-million dollar real money casino’s built on their infrastructure and a business model based on teenagers watching CSGO gambling streams.

Tax breaks for the farmers working the fields, or tax breaks for the international corporations and land speculators that own nearly all the fields?

+1 for FS multi mode fiber, it’s worked well enough for me.

I know FS’s SFP-10GMSR-85 (Intel) (formerly SFP-10GSR-85) works in my Mikrotik CRS317-1G-16S+, but don’t know either way about the Ubiquiti transceivers.

I’m afraid I dont have any real experience with fiber keystones one way or the other.

I will say that if you have the space in the run or are opening up walls, help out you’re future self and run it in some smurf tube, though obviously that’s not always possible without massively expanding the amount of drywall work.

No, That’s a different object that just needed confirmation of orbit. This is 2024YR4.

 

Just end it already.

More seriously, odds to hit are low, the effects would be local to the impact site, and we should have a good idea of where it will come down long before impact if it does hit. The potential impact sites are in Northern South America, North Africa, the Middle East, and India.

I know the big old Unions like auto workers and railroaders tend to have deep strike funds, but I think the smaller ones tend to focus funds on recruiting and benefits.

Do Japan and Italy just not count as part of the world? I mean Japan took over half of Asia and the Pasific while Italy took the Mediterranean countries. Germany took over part of northern Europe and helped a bit of North Africa.

Given the sudden change in course after being instructed to cross behind the CRJ, the pilot likely misidentified the plane before the CRJ in the line that was just landing as one they were being instructed to watch out for, and because they were focused on the wrong plane didn’t pick out the right one directly in front of them against the city lights. Between the limited FOV of night vision goggles and the light they needed to see not moving at all from their perspective this seems more like a demonstration of the limits of see and avoid at night than gross negligence on the part of the pilot.

All that being said, the helicopter appears to have been a hundred and fifty feet above the upper bond for that route, but when the routes only two hundred feet high to begin with you don’t exactly have very much in the way of a margin for error either way.

Because when you’re whole job is flying vip’s around DC at night, it helps to actually fly the route you’re being trained to fly at some point.

As for why the heavily used helicopter route goes right beneath the approach path, that’s because people mapped out all the routes helicopters can fly without going through restricted airspace, and along the river is one of the most useful of them, same reason as the runway’s approach path follows the river.

Counterpoint, I grew up in a smallish town in Idaho and was still absolutely surrounded by Democrats. State wide, only sixty percent of the voting age population actually turned out, and of those one out of every three people voted against Trump.

Hell, Democrats outnumbered Republicans in some countries and again, this is fucking Idaho.

This means that if you talk to an a Idahoan at random, there is a more than fifty percent chance they either largely already agree with you, or they are largely insulated from and not paying attention to politics and thusly susceptible to being swayed with the right approach and concrete examples of what Trumps doing to fuck them and their friends over specifically.

Left wing ideas and policy are still far more popular among the general public, which is why Republicans have to lie about them constantly.

Look for your local anarchist bookstore, look at what your counties Democrats actually organized, especially things like local pride events, show up, and network/make friends.

As is fun to note, there are more Democrats living in Texas than New York state, so the idea you should just give up on finding any around you because you live in a red state instead of one where the numbers are reversed is honestly rather absurd.

Honestly, i’m really looking forward to the point where their are a lot of used EVs with degraded batteries on the market. This is because battery degradation is not like the battery suddenly stops working, but rather that is consistently losses a percent or two of capacity per year. While car manufacturers consider a battery worthless when it only holds 80% of what it did new, for a car that started with a 280mi range that still means 220mi, more than enough to cross the US interstate system.

Moreover, even that car at 50% would still have 140miles of range, which is more than enough for most city cars and nearly all commutes, even in the sprawling suburbs of the US.

It’s also worth noting that you can absolutely swap an EV battery with another one. It’s just unplugging a few plugs and hoses, undoing a dozen bolts, and then dropping it out of the car.

Finally, note most of the value of an EV battery is in the very easily recycled raw materials, which means that even a completely dead and degraded battery is still worth most of the cost of a replacement, and as such you’re effectively only out the difference between the raw materials and the lightly used battery your puting in plus an hour or two of a mechanics labor.

In short, as long as people have commuter and city cars, and especially if manufacturers don’t succeed in killing right to repair and aftermarket mechanics, I expect the battery degradation fears will be looked back on in thirty or forty years as a quaint little case of making a mountain out of a molehill.

 

Just preliminary reports, but after efforts to rush it through before any reaction were delayed, legal backlash may have forced inmates to be returned to the right gen pop.

No guarantee it holds, be ready and organized to move if you live in a few hours drive from Fort Worth, legal funds are still going to need help, etc… but for now they might be safe.

And older talk, but regrettably still very relevant to us, especially given recent events.

 

Mirrors in audio form much of the discussion i’ve seen around here if you prefer that, particularly on how the DNC going right hurt trunout.

 

This short bit just made it out of HBO and feels like a pretty good closing argument for things. Also has a bit of a hopeful message at the end.
