Creating a bomb leaves a trail and the FBI has a pretty good record domestically of finding where they've come from. Couple that with the fact that any time there's a threat detected then will places evacuate. Anyone who would actually call in a threat, after placing bombs would only result in becoming hunted by the FBI, so on that point you're right: these threats are always hollow. At least until people stop evacuating after receiving a threat. Once that happens it will increase the likelihood that real bombs will start being placed.

But to be clear, a lot of places do get bombed. In 2023 there were 320 bombings in the US. During the same year there were 3,203 threats. So, we're looking at 0.1% ... That would likely go up if people stopped taking the threats seriously.

EDIT: I'm not sure anyone noticed, but my math was off by a factor of 10, er 100. Sorry about that! Also, source: https://tripwire.dhs.gov/reports/298701

Increasingly more often Amazon is the publisher.

Imagine living some place where you have to pay Musk for your air and water.

Musk isn't compromised by Putin, there is nothing that Putin could have on him that would make any bit of difference. What Musk wants is to be the preferred rocket supplier for both the US and Russia. He already has the US, now he's doing Putin's bidding and will soon be building Starship launch pads in Crimea.

Wait, Vance was criticizing Europe over censorship?!

Can someone remind me which words and phrases the Biden administration blocked from government websites and government funded scientific publications?

Correct, these are American cars, which American companies decided to move production to Canada for cost savings. And now, because those American companies made a decision, our moron in chief claims that Canada stole those jobs.

More smoke and mirrors while he and his goons continue to destroy the country and steal everything of value.

Or else, what?

To paraphrase Andrew Jackson, the judge made his ruling, now let him enforce it. We've lost our country.

You should generally only ask questions that relate directly to the job. If you start asking unrelated questions then the applicant could feel that you are discriminating against them for some reason. But I get the desire to give someone who is a good fit, but you should find a more subtle way.

I'm in IT and I like to ask applicants if they have any systems at home that they manage. One guy told me how he went on craigslist and purchased an old server to play around with VMware when the company he was with first started looking into it. That impressed me because it's something I'd do. He was a top contender, so I sent him home with some homework: I asked to see an example of some documentation that he's written up. The next day he sent me a detailed diagram and full documentation of his home torrent system, how he has Plex, Sonarr and Radarr setup, and how his drives are laid out. I found a new best friend that day.

He's going to dedupe the social security databases, thinking that he's screwing over trans people because he thinks they are the only people who change their names... not realizing that the vast majority of married women have at least two names associated with their SSN.

Next thing you know Facebook is going to get rid of Daughter's Day!

She's almost 37 years old... that's the age a lot of women make the decision to no longer risk becoming pregnant. But yes, let's threaten a woman for caring about her health.

I didn't know how old you are, but I'm at an age when I've realized that I likely won't outgrown laughing when I hear someone else in a public bathroom rip a fart while taking a dump.

Trump is trying to claim that they are property of the US government, so that he can sell them to restaurants in China.

Wait, is he really doing that or did I just make that up? Who can even tell anymore.

Just want to point out that Blagojevich is\was a democrat, and was taken down by a democrat administration.

Actually, this is something that should be an open source non-profit.

Trudeau should suggest that the US become Canada's 11th Province.

X was used by early Christians in place of Christ. It is the first letter of Christ in Greek, and was used as a discreet way to indicate that someone is a Christian - back when Christians were ACTUALLY persecuted.

He's just a toxic troll, check his comment history there's nothing of value there. It's real easy to block users on Lemmy, your online experience will be better off without him.

No, I'm curious to know which words or phrases the last administration wasn't allowing. My guess is that there isn't such a list.
