Also there are fast food alternatives to McDonalds as well.
IMO, Wendy’s has much better burgers. Haven’t had Carl’s Jr’s in a long while but I remember their “$6 Burgers” were pretty good.
Burger King, the meat quality seems to have gone downhill. Like an unchewable but in each meat patty. They used to be my favorite.
Edit: the “$6 burger” is now called the thick burger since it now costs more than $6
Do you have an issue with roofers protecting themselves? /s
Indeed, folks need to get involved at the local level and primaries.
For those that complain about the first past the post voting, Alaska managed to pass ranked choice voting:

If you hate FPTP and the choices it gives you, don’t just sit out the election, that’s an inherent vote for the person you like the least. You can try to back a similar ranked choice measure in your state:

They also included in the ruling that:
“Chief Justice Roberts determines that “official conduct,” which garners presumptive immunity under the Court’s framework, may not be used as evidence of other crimes when prosecuting former presidents.”

My understanding, a president having an “official” meeting with his staff regarding commiting a crime that falls outside of his normal presidential duties is no longer admissible as evidence for the criminal act.

You have to get the whole horse bloodline. If you leave any alive you’ll be spending the rest of your life in fear everytime you hear hoof steps behind you.
Aerodynamics and metal fatigue hasn’t changed much of any at all in a century.
Once you have a good airframe design, it just becomes a matter of upgrading electronics, engines, regular repairs, and servicing parts that are known to be prone to metal fatigue.
Hence why the B-52 which was first flown in 1952 will likely be in service until 2060!
Do a search for you server OS + STIG
Then, for each service you’re hosting on that server, do a search for:
Service/Program name + STIG/Benchmark
There’s tons of work already done by the vendors in conjunction with the DoD (and CIS) to create lists of potential vulnerable settings that can be corrected before deploying the server.
Along with this, you can usually find scripts and/or Ansible playbooks that will do most of the hardening for you. Though it’s a good Idea to understand what you do and do not need done.
There’s a thing called organizational death spiral. You don’t have to down 100% of aircraft to cripple the Russian Air Force.
The less planes they have, the more they have to use the same aircraft, the more airframe stress that accumulates on those airframes, the fewer aircraft they have to rotate in during repairs and maintenance.
Also:
Modern Russian aircraft are designed for a 3,500 and 4,500 flight hour service life, and some for as many as 6,000. But the Soviet-era platforms were designed for 2,000 to 3,500 hours. Some models, such as the MiG-31, have been upgraded to extend service life, but most of the older models are nearing the end of their service lives with only 500 to 1,000 hours remaining.
Also home insurance isn’t tax deductible (to my knowledge unless you’re renting the house and then it counts against the income you made renting) but the interest paid is.

Another reason for going with a swap file vs partition (if you need either) are nvme and SSD drives.
A partition that’s only a few GB and written to constantly will wear out a solid state drive quickly.
Using a swap file in a larger partition that has other data allows the drive to even out the wear across more storage cells.
Beyond replacing fossil fuels plants, nuclear plants can also help power atmospheric decarbonization (with their excess baseband power) as well as desalination plants if close enough to a coast.
There’s a lot of projects that depend on cheap and abundant energy that can further help undo some of the damage from a century of fossil fuels usage.
While the design lifespan of nuclear plants might be 30-40 years, newer ones are designed for 40-60 years of operation right off the bat.
So it’s a bit of a sticker shock at first but even getting just 40 years of benefits from each plant is huge.
A big part of the problem is we don’t look at these longtime operation periods and we externalize (or just ignore) the CO2 emissions as costs of running cheaper gas and coal power plants.
The story of “Second Sight” and the folks that depended on them is pretty sad. I hope there’s some kind of backup plan in case the company goes under, gets acquired, or decides to abandon existing technology. Like placing the key tech in a trust of sorts.
You guys (mods) are doing a helluva good job. A very civil request for the OP to correct the slight omission, encouragement and polite follow up, didn’t just silently delete the post.
Kudos!
Wording related to the release of all the hostages was added, hence why the US didn’t veto:
https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/03/1147931
The UN Security Council on Monday passed a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan, the immediate and unconditional release of hostages and “the urgent need to expand the flow” of aid into Gaza.
Emphasis mine.
Looks like a “super automatic” espresso machine.
It grinds the whole beans and typically they also have a doser (measures the weight or quantity of the ground up coffee beans), then it tamps the grounds, brews the coffee (which is some at a specific temperature and pressure), then ejects the used up coffee puck in a bin in the bottom of the machine.
The mechanism for the automatic tamping, brewing (with pressure valve) and ejection is one very complicated piece as well as the controls for the motor that operates it. Then there’s the temperature and pressure controls for both the brewing of the coffee and the milk frother the machine likely has.
Edit: Video with partial teardown and which shows how the internals operate
They should use AI to help the folks in medical billing.

Not just money, there’s a risk that if Wagner is successful there, they could start recruiting from there more soldiers to send to Ukraine.
