Why is his smile so off-putting? Is this the first time I've actually seen it?

Practical Engineering video explaining why this is an inherently difficult task, even for a country that has the money to better maintain their grid.

I have a tattoo that means "I don't know, I don't speak japanese." It works when an English speaker asks me what it means, and it also worked with the Japanese when I lived in Japan and didn't speak the language.

In case people aren't clear, these soldiers are the operators of the additional THAAD system they are deploying to Israel. These aren't infantry being sent to kick in doors alongside the IDF. THAAD is a ballistic missile defense system with no offensive capabilities. We already have a THAAD unit deployed to Israel.

Don't be mad because you expect to see headlines saying US Soldiers are killing civilians in Gaza. Be mad because this enhances Israel's ability to continue escalating conflict with Iran and hiding behind US cover when Iran strikes back.

That's not what's going on here, but okay I guess.

Edit to insert a comment I wrote elsewhere:

They are the soldiers responsible for operating the missile defense system.

I think that's why they said between the maintenance cost and market price.

I would pay to watch that ad.

"And Russia's internal security service, the FSB, recently said it foiled a Ukrainian plot to destroy its last remaining aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov. The ship, launched in 1985, has been undergoing repairs since 2018."

I hope Ukraine can still make this happen. That would a be huge win, even if the carrier is never functional and isn't in the black sea. Imagine if Russia no longer even had a carrier. That'd be one way to put them in their place.

Thanks to this I went browsing through that sub. These people are openly blatantly calling for torture of detainees in Guantanamo.

'The terrorist wrote in his letter that he was warned by an attorney and a professor “that US law permit the US President to sentence to death any federal prisonneer [sic] deem to be a threat to National security.”'

He says that the President can do this, but it's something I've never heard of and I can't find anything to back his claim up. Is this even true?

Edit: Seems like something the author should have verified as well.

Army combat uniforms even come pretreated with it.

Yeah, the article comes to a conclusion that directly contradicts the source they quoted.

No one here is suggesting we should reelect Trump. People are saying that Biden will lose. The only chance we have, however slim, is to ditch the guy who can't form coherent sentences. People didn't vote for Biden because he's Biden. People voted for Biden because he's not Trump. Whoever takes his place will also have that going for them, with the advantage of being lucid.

This article is a week old.

That is quite an interesting set of political beliefs this guy has.

It could potentially work out like netflix letting users keep the discs they had.

I 100% would not want an image like that to pop up in front of a coworker. I'm on board with you, OP.

You say that like they're trying to hide it, but it's literally the stated purpose of the Selective Service registration. Nothing surreptitious about it.
