Would you rent your kids to a Republican? Seems dangerous.
Only if they rent my wife as part of the package? What kind of logic is that.
So I'm looking at this chart in the article on sea level rise by location:
I feel like I'm lacking some key knowledge here. How can the sea level rise be different in different parts of the coast? Shouldn't the average sea level rise be roughly equal worldwide?
Even if there's like a new strong current constantly pushing water into Galveston I'd expect it to average out over time. What am I missing?
In exchange for the bribes, Adams took actions that appeared to benefit Turkey’s leaders, including expediting the fire safety inspection at a consulate building and not releasing a statement on Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, according to the indictment.
I'm kind of shocked that a (friendly) foreign government would buy a mayor for these seemingly trivial things.
Of course, they completely ignored how things went when hurricane Irene knocked out power to the region. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t fun but folks were generally okay.
Reminds me of that big NYC blackout. The news was covering it like the whole city was going to fall into chaos with neighbors attacking each other and everything. Mostly it was just people chilling in the dark hoping to get their power back as soon as possible.
Unlike the Steele Dossier, which was both fraudulent and discredited...
What? IIRC, the author only clarified that a bunch of it was likely rumor. How does that make it fraudulent?
Time for a rewatch of The Century Of Self.
Ferrari? More like the passenger train of computers.
We (the US) off-shored our manufacturing labor to China because of cheap labor. We were able to continue to reap much of the benefits of this production with our intellectual property (trade secrets, patents, etc).
China will inevitably catch up in the IP game and have been quickly doing so, often through corporate espionage, sending students to study in Western schools, and just from experience building most of these physical goods.
It's IP theft and seen as cheating. And will erode the US IP dominance faster than we'd like.
I'm pretty on the fence over it as an American personally. IP laws in general are kind of bullshit but also, we're on our back foot economically because we have no infrastructure to build anymore. And if we no longer have the IP dominance, we have zero economic leverage.
And all that's ignoring all the governmental and civic espionage that has other uncomfortable implications.
It is very privacy friendly [...]
What makes you believe that? The most information I could find about this is that it doesn't "save your session data." The Orbit privacy policy also seems a bit bare, and I can't decide if that's a good thing or not.
Either way, you're still sending data to a third party service to process. Might be worth it for some people.
Been playing the point and click game Star Trek: Resurgence. It's barely a game, but it's nice to do something with your hands while watching.
“We need ways to prevent people from bringing weapons onto our Metro buses and trains, and the sooner we can find solutions to prevent tragedies like this, the better,” Hahn said.
TSA 2: Cruise Control
More information about the privacy preserving ad measurement feature and how to disable it if you wanted. Mixed feelings.
My favorite part of milsim is the sim.
Earth-bound cardinals are basically 2 dimensional vectors. Not really helpful in intergalactic space.
A lot of their targets are public people. For instance, targeting the employees of a defi company.
"And immediately after we had removed them from the environment, another attack set off, which we attributed to the same group trying to get back in through other means," he added.
This happened within 24 hours, with a credential-stuffing attack. "There was no opsec, no slow-and-low," Dwyer said. "They put the persistent in APT. Once they identify a target as valuable to them and their goals and objectives, they will continue to try to get back in."
And this is from a company that seems to at least sort of take security seriously (ignoring the glaring error that got them in this situation). Responding to this threat seems like a challenge for most companies down the supply chain.
A photo of my balls would help in that case too but it doesn't men I want to give it to them.
Need me a cyberpunk detective game with real verbal interviews.
With the nation’s democracy in shambles, President Nicolás Maduro tries to inject some holiday cheer.
A nationwide blackout. A broken economy. A widely contested presidential election. A populace terrified of its autocratic leader and his increasingly violent security forces.
What’s a president to do?
Declare the early arrival of Christmas, of course.
Facing widespread domestic and international criticism over his claim that he won a July presidential vote, President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela is trying to turn the nation’s attention toward the one thing almost every Venezuelan loves: Christmas.
Looks like the content creator Karmakut has launched a game studio and is building this new tactical shooter. Curious how this plays out.
Mr. Kennedy, an independent presidential candidate, confessed to dropping off the bear cub 10 years ago and making it appear that a bike had hit the animal.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the independent presidential candidate, confessed on Sunday that he had left a dead bear cub in Central Park in Manhattan in 2014 because he thought it would be “amusing.”
Mr. Kennedy posted a video detailing the bizarre story on social media apparently ahead of an article in The New Yorker.
U.S. health officials have announced a recall of some Boar's Head liverwurst and other deli meats as they investigate a listeria outbreak.
Boar’s Head Provisions Co. recalled liverwurst because it may be tainted with the listeria bacteria, the U.S. Agriculture Department said. The agency said a sample of Boar’s Head liverwurst from a Maryland store tested positive for listeria.
The company is also recalling deli-sliced meats made the same day on the same line as the contaminated liverwurst at a Virginia plant, the USDA said. The sample was from an unopened package, collected by health officials as part of an investigation into the listeria outbreak.
Desert Strike was probably one of the most influential games of my childhood. This game seems to be looking to scratch that itch.

Connect with friends from VIVERSE and Mastodon servers on VIVERSE. Stay tuned for the upcoming rollout of more social features!
Looks like it's so far just surface-level integration with Mastodon friends/DMs. But it's still nice seeing the fediverse embraced and integrated at all by what was once a walled garden.
