lmao, what an argument for them to make. "It's not a budget cut, the unions fought us, won, and made us hand over more money after we slashed their already hilarious low budget!"
"No they didn't, it was only a budget cut until the unions fought them and forced them to hand over more budget' isn't exactly the win you think it is here.
Even worse, despite call numbers increasing over 5x from 1960, the fire program has been completely unable to expand since 1960 and was basically completely at the mercy of people doing brutal amounts of overtime to keep things going... until they lost the ability to pay them overtime too! The fire department is absurdly understaffed and underfunded. Imagine still making the same salary as 65 years ago, while having to do 5x the work!
While the 53 million budget increase the unions managed to grab is a good improvement, along with the ~200 more trainee firefighters it allowed them to hire but aren't yet ready to deploy, it's the definition of too little and too late.
High winds preventing firefighting planes and copters, low water levels since the city has let nestle steal all of it for free, electrical problems to prevent pumps from sending water from afar, and not enough man hours to manage and prevent fire conditions in the first place- as it says in the article you posted, no amount of budget could have prevented this, because there was more to play here than just the budget. But enough people and man hours to properly manage things would have done a lot to limit the scope of the disaster.
It's because Epic Games is spending a shitload of money astroturfing these idiots into believing that Valve is personally running a massive counter strike casino and you need to THINK OF THE CHIILLLLDREEEEEEEN.
If you think Mozilla is the canonical of browsers, you've been consuming too much of Google's anti-mozilla propaganda after they announced v3 manifest.
If you've noticed, they're doing everything they can to make him look less attractive. Shitty aspect ratios, bad white balance, editing the picture, terrible focal lengths....
They're scared. It's hilarious, because they're so blatantly obviously scared.
Apparently some corporate dick sucker scrapes the public feeds for the bikes and volunteered the information for the likely bike pretty much immediately.
Ah yes, the most rigorous of scientific studies- claiming you did a paper in school! You got an A, and then everybody clapped!
My man, in less than two hours you've literally went from claiming you don't know how fluoride works on teeth to claiming you did rigorous research on it in uni.
At least keep your bullshit lies straight for more than two hours.
So you don't know, but all the data scientists and dentists, who DO know and are subject matter experts, who say it's a good idea are to be ignored, because of your sheer ignorance?
I know you guys probably already know this, but just to make it clear- just because the building was built in the 60s doesn't mean they couldn't have gotten a microwave and added a sign later :p
The server doesn't validate shit, because that takes up CPU cycles on THEIR hardware, which costs them money. A huge part of kernel level anticheat is forcing YOU to pay the cost for anticheat, so they can squeeze a few more pennies out of it. And if your computer gets owned because they installed insecure, buggy malware on your system...? Well, they'll just deny. After all, it's kernel-level, how are YOU going to prove anything?
