Name checks out.

To be clear, you're arguing that (considering the increase in population) desktop computer ownership per capita may be falling?

Always an impressive operation they have one peering point in San Francisco and their data centers historically consist of a church and shipping containers.

It's not about understanding. I'm explicitly stating that it's a distinction without a difference. I know exactly what you're saying and I'm telling you it doesn't matter. There is no functional disparity if the result is the same.

You're not using power to make things better in that case. You're ACTUALLY using power to make things worse by following unconstitutional orders. But you feel bad about it.

If you're carrying out orders in knowing violation of your constitutional oath you are complicit and the institution is inherently corrupt.

I'm making an ethical must statement, not an ethical ought statement. If you believe you're carrying out orders as a civil servant that violate your constitutional oath like they state in the letter you must resign. There's no gray area there.

Since even the cops are homeless, that's likely.

If you think you're violating your constitutional oath, you gotta stop drop and roll, not sign an anonymous letter.

You pretty much either put so much heat into urea that it turns to ammonia and melts your plastic while doing so or you wait for some bacteria to eat it and turn it into ammonia. It technically starts vaporizing at above 130 C.

IRL, I’m not an admiral. lol

But I asked you if you were really an admiral and you said it was a stupid question! How could you ever be so deceptive?

Ain't dead yet.

I'm more surprised the daily fucking caller actually retracted the story.

Zap was only well intentioned in that he was a narcissist who desperately wanted people to like him. He was a consistent shithead.

Bibi is a lynchpin that holds up a coalition of actual fascists. Those fascists have supporters(including in the IDF), but not a majority. Breaking the back of that coalition and facilitating the fall of Bibi's government would result in positive change for the entire situation.

The fact that Bibi will go to jail if he loses that coalition due to corruption charges is what makes Biden's softball moves so frustrating for me.

The U.S. has significant leverage over Israel as its main supplier of weapons and military equipment.

They sure don't seem to, considering they never even explicitly threaten to use that leverage. Even the call, based on a situation that supposedly left Biden anguished, was still an implicit threat. At least based on what's published.

If Biden wants to actually get any change done he should damn well know that getting rid of Bibi is the only way to do that. The best way to get rid of Bibi is to make the Knesset realize he's an existential threat to Israel because he's about to cause the US to cut off support.

I don't think you'll ever get a concrete answer on this because different people treat even basic numbers differently none the less assigning value to them. I like upvoted/downvote view because I like being able to see what's controversial. It means a comment is both important to show a dividing line but also might be misleading.

Edit: note of course, I'm saying this while on an instance that doesn't even federate downvotes at the moment.

That's never going to happen. The best you could hope for with any military is a court martial. And even that's never going to happen.

Maybe a truth and reconciliation commission after the parents are long dead.

It's the note that really did it for me.
