Man, the only reason the civilian death toll is low is because Russia is not reporting to the world how many civilians they've killed in occupied territories. When the war is said and done, the death toll of civilians will be in the hundreds of thousands (if Ukraine re takes its land).

That's not Zelensky's fault, but it is laughable to nominate a wartime president for a nobel peace prize, just like it was laughable to nominate Obama for it while he presided over 2 wars and proliferated Nukes.

Yep. "Hackers" and leakers are calling Indian IT centers and offering a few hundred dollars to be given admin access to their systems. This lets them find and leak info or even ransomware a company for millions. India has proven to be a weak link in corporate security over the last few years.

Me when I lie and can't face simple truths. Nothing lasts except the old things that lasted longer but also don't exist anymore and don't think about why that is!!!!

A difference of opinion on smart phones, it's undeniable fact that old appliances and cars and everything else were garbage and did not last. That's why they're not around anymore, you're literally arguing against reality and it's weird.

Lmao, the B-52 has no original parts on it and has been totally gutted and rebuilt with modern technology. The qwerty keyboard isn't the same as a 1964 GE appliance, that's like saying old things are good because we still use dishwashers lmao. Again, citing COBOL is like saying "computer good because old idea". 12 v cigarette lighters have been getting phased out for USB and USBc for the last 15yrs. The pagers hospitals use are not the same pagers we used as teens.

This has nothing to do with

Me when I fail at simple tasks

You can keep trying to redefine reliability however you like, but old shit from the past wasn't reliable which is why almost none of it exists today and why we didn't stop making new cars in 1964. Just because Grandma's fridge from 1980 still runs today (at a cost of $400mo) doesn't mean old trash is more reliable. Blatant survivorship bias.

"I need a degree to change my car battery battery!" Is not an insult to how modern cars are made, genuinely a you issue.

And again, constantly needing to repair your car, washer, fridge, dryer, etc is not an argument for how reliable they are. Old garbage had to be easy to fix because it constantly needed to be fixed.

Nope, it's because appliances broke down all the goddamn time. An appliance back then cost the same as an appliance today adjusting for inflation and devices can be harder to repair because they don't need to be repaired as often. If appliances were as reliable as you think, then nobody would have bought new appliances.

Tell me you weren't there without telling me you weren't there.

If you think things were more reliable, you weren't around to experience how shitty things were. "Appliance repairman" was a literal fuckin job that was a major necessity because of how utterly unreliable appliances were.

If things were more reliable, nobody would have replaced their shit with new shit.

Fantastic comeback, I look forward to the day you come up with your own material instead of sourcing it from reddit comments.

It's absolutely classic to say you've seen it shut down here on a 2 day old disinformation post that's still up. Is it cognitive dissonance or are you just keeping up the stupid streak?

Source on what? The disinformation? Look up you vapid salmon.

Yea but that's not really the point. The idea is to denigrate Trump, reality be damned. There is a litany of things Trump has done in the last 24hrs that are more egregious and illegal than hiring a new assistant 2 weeks ago, but this website is hooked on a schitzo conspiracy theory that Trump raped/s his daughter.

It's to the point that this schizo bs feels like astro turfing.

Hey just a word of advice, don't believe a single fuckin thing you read here unless there's a link from AP or Reuters to go along with it.

The last 4 years have shown nobody here gives a single shit about spreading blatant disinformation as long as it's anti trump or anti right.

True, I was really upset when he got the accent and clothing wrong for the cyclops.

Suspend your disbelief for God's sake. If the boat being wrong takes you out of an entire movie, don't go see movies lmao

You're a silly little goose if you think accurately recreating a functional and practical ancient Greek ship would only be "a few hundred thousand". We're talking about Christopher Nolan, are you really so stupid that you think he just found a Viking ship and said "good enough"?

Dave Chapelle has punched down his entire career.

Him making fun of transgender people is no different than him making fun of disadvantaged minorities or other sub cultures or economic classes.

Not really defending Dave Chapelle, just pointing out that he made a career out of punching down and if you're upset that he made jokes about Trans people, you're upset too late.

A ship that looks accurate isn't too expensive to make, a ship that looks accurate and can sail is expensive to make.

It's a movie about a fictional story, suspend your disbelief for 2 hours and enjoy the movie.

It's always self inflicted damage. It's a producers own negligence that allows unsafe food to reach the market which is why it's their responsibility to test and recall as needed. Taylor Farms tested their saved lots and found the parasite that's been in the news and recalled. The alternative was the FDA testing it and then making arrests and fining the company into the dirt. The brand damage they took from their false positives shrink in comparison to what the FDA could do to them.

That's how it works currently. If a company self recalls if, through their own testing, they find contamination they won't get their ass pounded with fines and bad press (unless the FDA finds extreme negligence). If the FDA has to recall for them, it's much worse for them.

Taylor farms, this bread, and all the other major recalls recently have all been voluntary recalls by the producer.

Again, would be a fantastic point if it was an exclusive program to leased grazing land and not all public land including lands inaccessible to cattle.

Would be a fantastic point if wild horse populations were only controlled on BLM land and BLM lease land. The implication that BLM is killing wild horses for the benefit of ranchers is ridiculous.

1 week ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Nah, horses aren't native to the US and don't really have predators. They populate comparatively fast and disturb an ecosystem that has not adapted to their presence.

You either cull them or let the population run out of control and run native species out and outrun their food until there's mass starvation. This is not a new issue and is not a new solution and it's not done for cattle ranchers.

It's not being done for a profit. The BLM has culled wild horses for years because they populate faster than any predator can cull them.

Horses are not native to the US and they do not fit in the ecosystem and actively disturb it if they're not culled regularly.

There's not really anything to *happen* with these deregulations. Mail order 80% receivers were a thing for 50 years before the ATF quashed it and gun violence was on a steady decline during their tenure. Suppressors don't make a firearm any less deadly and the noise level is brought to a safe level, not a silent or obscured level. A short barrel rifle or shotgun isn't deadlier, and a NFA tax stamp has never been a requirement for criminals.

This is honestly just a easement for legal ownership

The NFA doesn't regulate what a receiver is, the GCA of 1968 regulates what a receiver is.

The ATF is doing the best it can to reasonably regulate firearms using the language of the laws Congress prescribed to them, it's not the fault of the ATF that an AR-15 has a two piece receiver, and it's also not the ATF's fault they're having to use 70 language to regulate a modern firearm.

Ben and Jerry are old anti war hippies, which mean they think Ukraine is an Aggressor for defending themselves and complicit in their own genocide, and they think Israel not only has a right to defend itself but also to genocide. They've had stores setup in the Israeli occupied territories.

Ben and Jerry are massively stupid hypocrites.

You think a PBS sub affiliate had 6 figures for anything?

And again, a half dozen HDDs do not provide you a networked drive setup and they provide you no reliability or longevity for long-term storage. That's a fine setup for storing your files at home, it's a huge potential expense for storing priceless historical footage in a professional setting. Stop suggesting that, it's like asking why the president uses Air Force 1 instead of a 92 Camry because a 92 Camry is cheaper.

Ok but this is for a TV station, not a single person on their home PC. For a professional setting like this, you need a networked media RAID with dozens of drives to ensure longevity, because HDD's burn out fast, and then someone to maintain that network and server. That's tens of thousands of dollars vs a few hundred a month for a cloud service.

"Just have one PC setup with two external drives that will eventually fail to archive your priceless data" is such a stupid statement.
