  • Guess who just got themselves put on the "do not respond to emergency calls" list?

    Side note:

    Reem’s says, however, its policy isn’t against serving armed police officers. It’s against allowing guns inside its businesses.

    It's San Francisco. Aren't police the only ones allowed to open carry there? So it's just a de facto ban on cops.

    Edit: gotta say, I'm confused about the downvotes. I'm pointing out that the police are likely to retaliate. Did I say something that gives the impression I'm condoning that?

  • They know you're eating raisins, so they probably just assume that you're a masochist.

  • But Egwene could totally be the DR, you guys...

    🙄

  • he was not only backed by the incompetent GOP but also by the very competent Russia

    And opposed by an incompetent DNC who hamstrung themselves by sabotaging a popular candidate to prop up a wholy unlikable one, disenfranchising a not-negligible chunk of their voters

  • If the number unaccounted for is going to drop drastically, I'll take duplicated data over "we found 750 of the bodies" all day, every day...

  • It is illegal - they've already been taken to court and lost over similar practices 20 years ago.

    It's just not enforced anymore - and that's why they're doing it.

  • This isn't really news. States have always been able to restrict sales of certain drugs at their discretion. There's a reason that until recently, you had to get a prescription just to get Sudafed in Oregon while you could just get it over the counter in almost any other state.

  • Biggest difference is that Ukraine would be doing much better in regards to control of airspace.

    The best use of these f-16s isn't going to be as air superiority fighters, but in the wild weasel/SEAD role.

    Their ability to use HARM missiles in their "self-protect" and "target of opportunity" modes (which is only possible with NATO-spec avionics) will massively improve Ukraine's air defense suppression and elimination capabilities, freeing up their Soviet built mig-29s and SU-27s to face off against Russian aircraft. Not to mention open up airspace to rotor-wing assets for CAS or logistics.

    Currently, they're only able to use the harm missiles in "pre-briefed" mode, which requires them to know the area of an air defense site, and then it targets the radar emission in that zone. The other two modes are able to detect and seek out air defense sites on the fly, as it were

  • Yeah, I assumed as much.

    That's why I figured I may as well throw out another perspective.

  • This depends so much on individual circumstances.

    4x10 with a three day weekend was the best schedule I ever worked - before I had kids.

    Now, if I had to start an hour earlier and end an hour later, I wouldn't be able to drop my kids off at school or coach their sports teams and lead their Cub Scouts pack after.

  • How?!

    The glue is usually stronger than the box. I usually just resort to ripping off the top quarter of the box.

  • One of the bigger factors is that in order to cut costs, they're using thinner and thinner material for the box. So they used to be strong enough to withstand the force other than at the perforation. Now the same perforation is stronger than the boxes' crush strength

  • Also wouldn't shock me if he put his name on the passenger list and had it destroyed himself to fake his death.

    He has to know he had/has a target on his back

  • Except this wasnt something the students asked for - it was a unilateral decision by the board

    They never asked us if we liked our current mascot or if we wanted to change it. We were just told that it had to change,

  • Sure, but this particular thing is stupid and a waste of time and money.

  • Not metal. Not a fan.

    Entire premise is invalid.
