The only arguement I can see, is that the police should also not expect any privacy and have their names and faces visable, but thats the only relatively modern issue I've had.

And maybe no database that is always on and always accessable state and federal wide, since thats removing just general public exposure expectation.

Tell my youve never owned a supermicro board without telling me. They support regular 80mm/90mm Noctua and function just fine. There's specific supermicro mounts for me.

China is the best example, its estimated that their population is off by entire countries in some statisitics, either through disppeared girls, hidden covid deaths, local economic fraud. There is also no independently verifiable group in China and is actually explicitly banned to use non-government methods.

And is one of the primary reasons lane splitting should be legal everywhere, it keeps bikers in the safe no man or car land of the dotted white and lets them not take a full car spot on the red light.

There's also the well known, name change that happens. Where the product used to be a different item/SKU tied to the product on Amazon. Used to poison ratings a LOT.

They are dying as what their namesakes suggest and instead become slop factories.

Theres a upper limit though and they don't provide a great baseload, which is nuclear's specialty even among non-renewable resources nuclear is a clear winner in baseload management.

Also nuclear is a non-renewable just a long, nearly impossible to empty one, especially with the longer isotopes of thorium and uranium.

The issue is, probationary in Gov doesn't mean what it means in Corporate speak. They do actually have most of the same protections which he ignored illegally.

Why is Trump suspect? This is the same argument made last time by Trumps side. He's legitimate, since there are no rules not allowing him (he's a natural citizen and well old enough), thus meeting all requirements. Is he a proper choice? No, but neither side offered any proper choice in a meaningful time and thus failed our nation.

Non climate hunting and direct habitat destruction is likely the largest cause of the current mass extinction event going on, life will eventually find a way to take advantage of humans like rats and pigeons already do or avoid it entirely like bats do.

The thing is, it's up to the official classification officer to decide on how far is too far for classification down and this administration loves to short man everything so likely they decided it wasn't an issue, but it is, and someone should be blamed in my opinion since that is that official's job.

You can go around legally too just ask what is and isn't considered classified by derivative.

oyashirochama — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 13:22:06 +0000

Why? Taiwan is an effectively independent country in all ways but name. Would you like it if the US openly and directly invaded somewhere like Guam or PR and support it? This is an insane escalation and though makes sense considering demographics of PRC and their CCP/CPC army (the Chinese national army doesn't exist it's the party's army), it will likely be a bigger mud field than Ukraine regardless of situations.

The US has dozens of smaller commercial and even private airports, same for London honestly so this isn't the greatest arguement except it doesn't need to deal with customs.

It likely doesn't pass the constitution or will have to be subject to the Miller's test. Hence it doesn't really change much that the federal law already did.

Most of that can be explained by it being the first time to have a long-term trip without fresh fruit and it was discovered fairly quickly, they just didn't have anything that persevered vitamin C since it denatures fairly easy.

Science always has a find an issue, then resolve it any other path is just luck. The sailors of other countries other than Europe did have ways of remedying this issue through various ways.

Not to mention LTT showed the ability to spoof and steal SMS directly, on specific targets using the international phone system trust, something that is effectively impossible to block due to the inherient trust built into cell companies at the moment.

It's a little overbuilt, but a 1000w for a 300w processor with ability to add a lot of accessories isn't terrible actually. only needs a few more PCIe devices to make it meet the 50% minimum to reach peak efficieny on the PSU.
